Variable™ balans®

I use this chair about 50% of the day… One need not be stuck in a rigid position.

Beautiful wood, and fabric is soft. It was easy to put together, although I needed a rubber mallet to insert the wood dowels. It is tricky to align the seat and knee pads, as they rest on somewhat of a curve. It was very doable for a 68 year old woman with arthritic hands! I love this chair for meditating – easy to get into, super comfortable for long periods, and you can adjust your position from time to time without losing focus. I would really recommend this chair for meditation.

I have struggled for years to find a chair that was comfortable to work in and allowed me to move around, or get up easily to go get books (my office is kind of small). I have tried almost every kind of chair and they either are too hard or too soft, and the arms are annoying and often are not conducive for me to type. most chairs can’t accommodate the desire i have to move my legs around and sit in different positions. The last one i ended up with was yoga ball which was ok for rocking but it started to hurt my hips and my upper back, let alone the material made me sweaty. So i looked around at options and that brought me to kneeling chairs, I saw that Varier Variable Balans rated very well and had a good warranty. They were listed as great quality. I had a chat with the consultant quickly – which was helpful. So i ordered my kneeling chair, it shipped pretty fast, and i am really super happy. I put it together easily and started using it right way. It’s super comfortable on my hips and back, it accommodates my long legs well, and it allows me to change position as much as i want and move about freely. I can easily wiggle the chair in and out of place when i need to get up or sit down. With no arms typing is super easy and in variety of positions. I love this chair and i am never going back to other types of chairs.

After much research I decided to opt for the original Varier Balens. I have suffered from lower back pain for some time and became lazy and slouchy spending lots of time behind computers badly designed and fitted office chairs. Bad posture was significantly contributing to ongoing discomfort and exacerbating the condition. The Varier Balens is very easy to transition to and puts my back into a great upright and natural position. The quality of the maple wood rails and cushion pads allows great flexibility whereas cheap copies are fixed more rigid not allowing core movement and core muscle engagement. Absolutely love it.

New, arrived about a week ago. Easy assembly, well designed to be stable and sturdy… I can get accustomed to this. Especially since the pads are otherwise very comfortable.
