Higher Ground Chair and Cushion for Active Sitting
$460.00
Regular price $400.00The Higher Ground chair is a great new way for you to stay healthy and active while you work and play. With its patented design, it supports active sitting, comfort, and mobility.
The chair pieces are cut from a single sheet of sustainably sourced pine plywood. This makes the chair stronger than typical screwed and glued construction.
Active Sitting FTW
Typical ergonomic chairs are restrictive and designed to limit your mobility throughout the day. For many of us, trying to stay engaged with work or school can be difficult when our chairs force us to lean back.
Movement throughout the day can help us feel more focused, while increasing circulation and improving flexibility and strength.
Lean Forward
The forward tilt angle of the Higher Ground chair feels like sitting on a hill. It’s a more natural position, with your feet in the same plane as your hips. The adjustable tilt angle lets you find different comfortable and active postures throughout the day.
(Almost) No Assembly Required
The minimal design of the Higher Ground chair fits together without requiring any tools, and can be assembled in less than a minute. This makes it incredibly portable, and easy to store.
The Higher Ground chair is adjustable to support 3 different seating angles, and numerous sitting postures and positions.

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.
I've been working from home since 2007, and this is the first time that a chair provides me comfort and healthier ways of sitting! My hips are thanking me for making the purchase!
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.
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!
My piano practice has improved with my Sage. Sitting on my flat piano bench for long periods of time used to give me backaches, but now I love spending hours at the piano on my Sage; it’s my happy place.
Sit well, friends
Stop screwing around
Our chair fits together with no tools - in under a minute - and packs flat for transport
Lean forward
Meditative postures are natural for the body. Why should your chair hold you back? (pun intended)
Stay active
Active sitting increases circulation and mobility, while reducing inflammation and fatigue
