Take a Seat: 5 Office Chair Alternatives

In schools there are hard orange, red, and blue hard plastic chairs. They are so uncomfortable and after awhile they start to kill your back. Every once in awhile you get a tan colored chair that is connected to the desk. Those are the absolute worst. They are slightly tipped back not like a normal chair. They are not at a 90 degree angle but they are not far enought to be a recliner type of chair. My desk in history is one of the tan one and I have to keep moving, then I get up in the end of class my back hurts so much that I feel like I can't walk.

A great investment for the school to make would be that the chairs should be gotten rid of. The 5 Office Chair Alternatives are:  

"The Saddle and Pony Saddle seats, part of Humanscale’s award-winning Freedom seating line, are the most comfortable and versatile stools ever made. The original Saddle and the more compact Pony Saddle accommodate comfortable seating in countless applications. These stools encourage you to sit in a saddle posture, which lowers the thighs, opens up the hips and puts the spine into a healthy lordotic curve. The stools are ideal for shorter term sitting—or even for getting your feet up off the ground by using it as an ottoman."


"The Variable balans^® is the perfect instrument for the work at a desk – for children and adults. Runners and kneepads promote an open and dynamic sitting position that keeps your spine in its natural curvature and improves breathing. The chair gives your body the freedom to find its own equilibrium which keeps your back and abdominal muscles working. While tension in back and shoulders is prevented, this ‘active sitting’ improves circulation and oxygen levels; thus concentration and creativity during your work."

"Alternately sitting and standing. Always on the move. That is the secret of the "muvman". Thanks to the patented flexzone® technology the "muvman" gives you support whenever you need it. And freedom of movement when you want it. That is comfortable. That is healthy. That is sitting as it ought to be."

There are two more options and I will tell you more tomorrow because you will want to hear about them.
