For the first time ever at the grand old age of 34 I had a few days off work last week with a bad back. I returned on Friday and borrowed a colleagues kneeling chair and felt it was beneficial. I'm now looking to get myself one, as I hate just sitting in a chair all day, and feel something that keeps you in good posture and your core activated is a great idea.

With this in mind, I'm looking for recommendations on kneeling chairs, or other type of seating which I might find useful. Any suggestions welcomed.

If you are near London there is a good shop in Marylebone ‘Back In Action’ where you can try them all out
Worth doing a workplace assessment if you haven’t done one already, your employer should support this

I've used these for years

really good for fixing a back and giving your better posture.

If you are a business then I think you can claim it against tax so in effect, it's free to you as the user

Few hours away from London unfortunately, with no plans to visit. Had found their website however. Thanks.

Start with a proper workplace assessment and go from there; check screen height, desk height, chair recline, that sort of thing.

I suggest something like this one:
https://www.backinaction.co.uk/wing-kneeling-chair

Completely sorted my back issue, though as another poster pointed out, the trade-off is that your knees take a bit more pressure.

Previously made by a different company, and sold as Hag Balans. Seemed a bit more industrial and did not fall apart like a wooden one I bought from one of the office supplies companies frown

Took my one into work; bought another off Gumtree for home.
