Ergonomic sit-stand stools

What is a Sit-Stand Stool?

A sit-stand stool is designed to make it easy to alternate between sitting and standing. The main feature of a sit-stand stool is its height adjustability, allowing you to work both while seated and standing. A sit-stand work stool promotes an active working posture and encourages movement throughout the workday. Therefore, a sit-stand stool is an ideal addition to a dynamic workplace.

Is a Sit-Stand Stool Ergonomic?

A sit-stand stool fits perfectly within the principles of ergonomic working. Sit-stand stools are designed to support an ergonomic working posture. Using an ergonomic sit-stand stool contributes to an active sitting posture, which strengthens the back muscles and reduces the risk of back pain. It is important to note that an ergonomic sit-stand stool is not intended for all-day use. Use it as a tool to alternate your posture. Prolonged use without sufficient variation can lead to overuse. For an optimal ergonomic workplace, it is recommended to combine an ergonomic work stool with an ergonomic office chair or an electric sit-stand desk. Additionally, it is crucial to move regularly.

Sit stand stools in trendy designs for a constantly active working position

Not so long ago, offices had atmospheric fluorescent light tubes on the ceiling and 'very realistic' artificial plants in the windowsills. The furniture became more and more active and ergonomic, and therefore not exactly more beautiful. How different is that now? Offices are increasingly allowed to be places where we get inspired, work with pleasure and can be the best verion of ourselves. Active furniture supports this. It is not only good for the body, it is also good for the mind. The sit-stand stools that we sell are no exception. Models such as the Varier Move, Ongo Free, Aeris Swopper and Interstuhl or Wobble stool are made of high-quality materials and available in many popular colours.

Innovative technologies enable optimal working posture

All sit-stand stools at Worktrainer are height-adjustable, so you can work on them both sitting and standing – for example behind a sit-stand desk. In addition, the seats move back and forth thanks to the innovative 3D technology (Aeris Swopper). As a result, you adopt different postures throughout the day, so that your muscles are strengthened and relieved at the same time. Very different from classic office chairs, which mainly invite you to sink or hang in. Saddle stools such as the Varier Move and the Back App 2.0 have an additional advantage: the saddle shape automatically makes you sit up straight and actively.

Tip: Do you work more often standing than sitting? Then take a look at our standing chairs. They lean forward slightly and are therefore more suitable for standing for a longer period of time than the sit-stand stools.

Why Choose a Balance Stool?

In an office chair, you tend to slouch quickly. On an ergonomic balance stool, this is not possible. Your body must constantly maintain balance. Alternating between sitting and standing on a sit-stand stool helps you adopt a more active sitting posture. This trains your core muscles and reduces strain on your body. Over time, you may find yourself free of back pain. However, a sit-stand stool does not replace an ergonomic office chair. It’s beneficial to alternate between the two. Interested in using a sit-stand stool? Start with a maximum of 20 minutes per day. Your body needs time to adapt to the instability of a work stool.

Advantages of a Sit-Stand Stool?

• Encourages small posture changes, promoting better blood circulation and reducing stiffness.
• In combination with a sit-stand desk, it allows easy transitions between sitting and standing, reducing back pain and fatigue.
• Stimulates a healthy and active posture, supports the natural curve of your back, and helps prevent slouching.
• With its lightweight and compact design, the sit-stand stool is easy to move and takes up less space than an office chair.
