Variable Balans Kneeling Chair with Backrest

Varier Variable - The perfect Homework Chair and the perfect antidote to that heavy backpack - just got better !

The latest evolution in thinking, by the creator of the kneeling chair concept, Peter Opsvik, is that while the open body angle position, achieved in a kneeling chair, is the preferred position, MOVEMENT while sitting, and changing of positions is a neccesary component of proper sitting. The Original balans kneeling chair achieves this quite well with its rocker runners, however with the addition of the backrest, additional variety in position is achieved. The backrest is not required in the tasking position but merely allows the sitter yet one more position to briefly move into, stretching the legs.

Kneeling chairs are suitable for children, teenagers and adults,whether at home, university or in the office. The chairs shown here are outstanding for children from 8 years, especially those who study in the evening. Imagine homework being easier and more fun....it's possible if you choose a good kneeling chair.

Why do kneeling chairs help? Because they keep your back in alignment, encourage movement and help you to maintain a balanced healthy sitting position: not just one position, but with constant gentle movement that keeps the sitter feeling energized and alert.

Kneeling chairs with curved wooden runners trigger your balance reflex. This automatically straightens up and balances the spine over the pelvis. Even neck carriage improves. The level of pulse and breathing is raised, driving greater circulation and extra oxygenation.As the user gets more skilled (about a week or so) the body weight will regulate the position of the chair to exactly match the task...writing reading thinking.....while the knee pads will prevent the body from sliding forwards.

The Varier Variable is our best selling kneeling chair. It's a beautiful chair and a good investment for a life of healthy sitting...if purchased for a child it will last them to adulthood.

It's fun to learn to control the chair and the younger the sitter the quicker the skill builds up. Greater fitness follows. It can be used from kitchen table to bedroom, it's light and strong and has a seven year kid proof guarantee. If you're worried that the chair is too big for your child, choose our conversion kit. This brings the knee pads closer to the seat - recommended for children teens or adults below about 5' 2".
