Why buy a knee chair from Sit & Sleep?

A kneeling chair can be a good solution, provided a few things are checked by a specialist. Consider your height, your workstation, the amount of time you sit per day, the chair's adjustment, and so on. As you can see, buying a kneeling chair without any risk is not without risk. Get advice from us and test the chair for free at home first!

Features of a good kneeling chair

  • Adjustable backrest

    A good kneeling chair allows you to adjust the backrest, both in height and depth, to suit your height. This allows you to determine how much support you want, or even work occasionally without back support to give your muscles extra activation.

  • Adjustable knee supports

    The knee rests should also be adjustable. With a kneeling chair, some of the pressure on your body falls on your shins and knees. Therefore, it's important that the knee rests move flexibly and that you can adjust the distance between the seat and knee rest.

  • Go for quality

    Kneeling chairs are no exception to the Chinese knockoffs. While the chairs may look similar at first glance, there's a significant difference in quality. The degree of adjustment (the imitations don't adjust), the quality of the wood, the comfort of the cushions, and so on. A good kneeling chair will last more than 15 years!

  • Voor wie is een kniestoel geschikt?

    Een kniestoel kan geschikt zijn voor mensen met lichte tot matige rugklachten, voor wie actief wil zitten of voor taken waarbij regelmatig van houding gewisseld wordt.
    Bij ernstige rugproblemen of langdurig statisch werk is een kniestoel vaak een aanvulling, geen vervanging van een ergonomische bureaustoel. Daarom is professioneel advies belangrijk.

  • Hoe werkt een kniestoel en wat doet het met je houding?

    Een kniestoel kantelt het bekken licht naar voren, waardoor de natuurlijke kromming van de onderrug beter behouden blijft. Dit kan helpen om een ingezakte zithouding te voorkomen en de rugspieren actiever te laten werken.
    In tegenstelling tot klassieke bureaustoelen nodigt een kniestoel uit tot beweging en afwisseling, wat belangrijk is bij langdurig zitten.

I would like advice about a knee chair

A fixed or mobile kneeling chair?

We're cool fans of fixed knee chairs, but true lovers of movable rocking chairs. It's precisely the combination of the sloping seat with knee supports and the rocking base that ensures consistent body weight distribution across your seat and knees.
No more sore knees or tingling lower legs! By using the "muscle pump" during movement, you also avoid circulation problems in your lower legs. A fixed knee chair violates these two principles: excessive one-sided knee strain and a static sitting position that places too much stress on the same structures.

Can I work on a kneeling chair for a long time?

If you have to sit for long periods, it's best to choose not only a movable model but also one with lumbar support. Without a backrest, your back muscles are constantly active and eventually tire. Lumbar support can help prevent this and maintain proper lordotic posture. It's also a good idea to occasionally stretch one or both legs, lean back, and stand up, of course.

Is a kneeling chair bad for your knees?

People with sensitive knees sometimes find the knee chair uncomfortable. Only a sufficiently long trial period of about a week can provide definitive answers. Usually, it's not the knees that are the problem, but rather sensitive shins. In that case, be sure to choose soft knee pads and the softest knee pads. You might experience some thigh fatigue in the first few days, but that feeling will disappear and can even be considered beneficial: you're using your thigh muscles and getting a training effect!
If you have rather large calves and thighs, the knee chair may not be comfortable because your calves and lower legs touch each other due to the sitting position with bent knees.
