Kneeling chairs: who they suit and how to start

A forward-tilted seat changes how you sit. Here is how to ease into one and what to expect in the first week.

What a kneeling chair changes

The seat tilts your hips forward, which opens the angle between your torso and thighs. Many people find it easier to sit upright this way without consciously holding the position.

Start with short sessions

Use it for 20 to 30 minutes at a time at first and alternate with your usual chair. Your hips and core need a few sessions to adjust to the new position.

Check your desk height

Kneeling chairs often sit you slightly higher than a standard chair. Make sure your elbows still land near desk height and your screen remains at eye level.

Keep moving

No chair is meant to be sat in all day without breaks. Stand, stretch or walk for a few minutes every hour, whichever chair you use.
