Open the hip angle and the slouch has nowhere to go.
The problem it solves
A ninety-degree seated posture compresses the lower back over long days. Most people do not notice until it hurts.
What it is
A chair with an angled seat and padded shin rests that shifts some weight to the shins and opens the hips to about 110 degrees. Some rock.
Who it is for
People with lower back discomfort from sitting, writers who want an alternate posture, and anyone who likes to change positions.
How to use it so it sticks
Alternate it with a standard chair every hour or so. It is a second posture, not a replacement for movement.
Who should skip it
If you have knee problems, this is the wrong chair for you.
Verdict
A good second seat that makes upright posture the default without any effort.
