The best thing I've added to my home office

I've been battling back pain for months. Most days I needed a hot water bottle on my lower back to get through a day of work. Within a week, my back pain was gone! I genuinely can't believe the difference it's made. I also loved putting my chair together. I was a little intimidated (I'm not handy) but when I unboxed it, it was so simple! It goes together easier than a lego set. It was actually kind of fun. I highly recommend this chair for anyone who deals with long days of sitting. It's helped my back and hip soreness, improved my posture, and allows me to sit in any position my body needs. Truly love this product. NOTE: the large seating area is amazing if you love to sit cross-legged, but there's a maximum seating capacity of one human and two cats ;)

Enjoying my higher ground chair at my WFH office

I really enjoy the chair. The different angled settings are super nice for switching things up during the day. My kids (2 & 4) love to climb inside and hide underneath it, which is fun. I can imagine it being a nice little hideout for a dog, if we had one. I would totally buy this again, and I'm considering getting more for other rooms in my house.

The size of the platform is perfect because I have enough room to sit in different positions during the day, from kneeling, to squatting, to cross-legged, as well as stretching out one leg or letting it hang over the side.

Some features I'd love to see adjusted:
- I think it's a little expensive, it would be easier to justify buying a whole set of them if they cost closer to $200 each
- I slide the chair forward underneath my desk when I'm not using it, and slide it out in the morning. It's tricky to lift the chair using the back piece, because it slides out of the connectors on the sides when you lift it. So, I've taken to grabbing both sides instead, which feels a lot more secure. It seems like if you switched the direction of that locking mechanism, it would be easier to move forward / backward.

We appreciate the detailed feedback and we're glad you're enjoying it! Sounds like you and your kids have found a lot of great ways to move throughout the day.
You're absolutely right that sliding it forward/backward from the sides is an easier way to move it around. It can be a little tricky on carpet too. But let us know if you're looking for a whole set :)

Comfort and Posture—A Year with My Higher Ground Chair

As a therapist and author who spends extensive hours working on a laptop, the Higher Ground Chair has been an essential part of my daily routine for over a year. Initially skeptical—since it was a gift—I would never have considered it otherwise. Now, I can confidently say it has revolutionized my posture and comfort. This chair isn't just about sitting; it's about enhancing your body's natural posture and strength.

Before using this chair, prolonged floor seating was a challenge. Recently, at a music event where everyone sat on a hard floor, I noticed a significant improvement. Thanks to this chair, I could enjoy the event in comfort, something past me would have found uncomfortable. The design not only supports but actively improves your core strength, making everyday activities more comfortable.

As a woman navigating the physical changes of middle age, this chair has been a game-changer in maintaining vitality and youthful posture. If you're considering a shift from traditional ergonomic chairs to something that truly supports natural body mechanics, the Higher Ground Chair is unparalleled. It's not just a piece of furniture; it's a lifestyle enhancement that I can't recommend enough.

Thank you for the thoughtful feedback. We're so happy to be a part of your 'lifestyle enhancement.' Mind if we steal that?

Bye Bye Hip Problems!

As a person that tries to be very active, but has a full-time desk job, I kept finding my hips in pain. After a week or so of sitting in this chair, my pain is gone. I'm able to adjust my position easily and quickly without interrupting my flow, which means I do it more often now, and my hips are so much happier. Definitely worth the hype!

We're so happy your hips are getting some relief! Keeping those muscles and joints strong and limber can improve so many other aspects of your healthy lifestyle.

Change your chair. Change your life.
