Posture Kneeling Chair

Cheapest is not always best. We have ordered a few of these over the year for staff with back problems. Some have been a waste of time. The original Balaans chair is best - you will find it by searching on Google. Office suppliers will normally give you a good discount on their list prices.

Can't help with where to get one cheap, but having read the comments on this thread I just wanted to hopefully give some advice. These chairs are only intended to be used periodically, and NOT to be sat on all day every day. I have one at work, and my chiropractor advised to sit on it for an hour or so per day - no longer than 2 hours absolute maximum per day - it has been great though, really makes a big difference.

I also notice a few people say it hurts their knees - this is what happens if you don't sit on it properly, which is quite easy to do as I did it myself initially . Many people assume that you 'kneel' on the bottom pad, thus resting your weight on there, but that is wrong. The bottom pad is only intended as an additional support to stop you falling off, you are supposed to put your weight on the top pad where you sit, and only gently rest your knees on the bottom pad, NEVER leaning your main weight on it.

Hope that makes sense! Good luck with finding a bargain one

Thanks for that. I thought this thread had sunk without a trace. The worse thing is, it's made me more determined than ever to buy one and see if it helps. Sigh. I wish money wasn't a problem....

How great is this, I got a flyer from Neat Ideas today for their Crazy Friday Offers and guess what?? They've got them in for only £29.99!

I ordered a 39p ruler to get free delivery and the VAT came to £5.32, so £35.70 delivered. :j Cheapest I could find was from their sister company Staples at £50! If you look around the site, you might be able to find something cheaper than 39p to get the free delivery.

Bargain! :beer:


PM me if you want the flyer to order one before midnight. :T
