🪑 Varier Variable Balans – The Original: The Iconic Kneeling Chair for Healthy Sitting – buy cheap

The Varier Variable Balans is more than just a piece of furniture – it is a legend of ergonomic design. Created by Peter Opsvik over 40 years ago, this chair introduced the groundbreaking balans® concept. It breaks the tradition of static sitting and gives your body the freedom it needs. Through the gentle rocking motion of the runners, the Variable intuitively follows your every weight shift. This keeps you focused and active during long hours at your desk while simultaneously relieving your spine.

⚙️ The balans® Principle: Dynamics in Perfection

The Variable Balans was developed to support the natural human urge to move, even while seated.

1. Automatic Alignment: The angled seat combined with the shin pads gently tilts the pelvis forward, causing the spine to naturally align into the correct upright position.
2. Active Runner Motion: The wooden runners allow for a gentle rocking that activates the back muscles and promotes blood circulation.
3. Unrestricted Breathing: The open seating angle expands the chest, resulting in deeper breathing and optimal oxygen supply for a sharp mind.

🧘 Benefits: Versatility and Well-being

Its name says it all: the Variable offers you countless ways to vary your sitting position.

✔ No More Tired Knees: You can place your feet on the pads, between them, or stretch one leg far back – variety is the key to relaxation.
✔ Lightweight & Compact: Weighing only 6.3 kg, the Variable is extremely mobile and fits under almost any desk or serves as modern seating in the living area.
✔ Strong Core Muscles: Since there is no backrest to hold the body passively, the muscles must work gently, which prevents long-term tension.
✔ Floor Protection Included: To protect your hard floors (parquet, laminate, tiles), we include matching felt strips.

🛠️ Material & Data: Quality and Dimensions

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about the Varier Variable

Q: How long is the adjustment period?

A: Since your muscles have to work more actively, you may experience slight muscle soreness in the first few days. We recommend gradually increasing the sitting duration.

Q: Can I use the Variable without the knee pads?

A: The knee pads are essential for the balans concept. However, they are not intended to bear your full weight but merely to support balance.

Q: Is the chair suitable for children?

A: For children, we recommend special distance spacers (Bele spacers) that reduce the distance between the seat and the knee pads. By default, it is optimized for teenagers and adults.

Composition: European or South American cattle hide
Tear resistance tests (DIN EN ISO 3377-1/2): Typically over 20 N/mm
Weight: Typically 1.2 - 1.4 mm thickness
Certificates: LWG (Leather Working Group), REACH-compliant

Tip Top sage ich als Rückenkranker (Banscheibenvorfall, Skolliose und Morbus Scheuermann)
Seitdem ich diesen Stuhl bzw Hocker benutze geht es meinem Rücken besser. Weniger Schmerzen und weniger Wirbelsäulengelenk knacken. In den ersten paar Tagen ist es ungewohnt aktiv sitzen zu müssen aber man merkt schnell das man besser sitzt. Ich würde ihn sofort wieder kaufen. Auf der Arbeit habe ich seit einiger Zeit auch einen und es ist eine Wohltat.

Edit: 2020-06-04 Ich sitze immernoch auf diesem Stuhl Privat vor dem Heimischen Rechner wie auch auf der Arbeit.

Edit: 2021-10-15 was soll ich sagen. Der Stuhl hat nun schon etlich Stunden unter mir ertragen müssen. Es gab bisher keine Probleme. Meinem Rücken geht es gut :-)

Super Stuhl
Hatte im Laufe der Corona-HomeOffice-Zeit etwas Rückenschmerzen bekommen und als Konsequenz den Stuhl bestellt. Am Anfang war es etwas ungewohnt, aber mittlerweile kann ich den ganzen Tag bequem auf dem Stuhl sitzen. Daumen hoch.

Super Kniestuhl für Rückenproblem.
Sehr gute Schmerzlinderung, sofortiger Effekt, man muss trotzdem auch noch mit einem normalen Bürostuhl wechseln, um die Sitzposition von Zeit zu Zeit zu ändern (die Schienbeine zu entlasten). Preis ist schon ein bisschen hoch, aber der Kniestuhl tut was er soll. Sehr zu empfehlen.

Gut gemacht,kein Zaubermittel
Ich finde den Kniehocker eine gute Alternative zum Büro-Drehstuhl. Es verleitet natürlich nicht zum Zurücklehnen, weil es keine Lehne gibt. Man kann natürlich auch nach vorne gebeugt ungesund sitzen, aber im Allgemeinen finde ich die Position angenehmer und gesünder. Wenn man den ganzen Tag sitzt würde ich davon abraten nur einen Stuhl und eine Position immer zu verwenden - ich glaube Abwechslung ist am wichtigsten, egal wie gesund der Stuhl ist. Ich nutze diesen jetzt seit fast einem Jahr fast jeden Tag ein paar Stunden. Ich bin voll zufrieden mit dem Kauf.

Weniger Verspannungen
Toller Kniestuhl. Seit ich diesen statt eines normalen Stuhl nutze habe ich deutlich weniger Verspannungen im Rücken. Durch regelmässige Positionswechsel und die Schaukelmöglichkeit kommt mehr Bewegung in den Tag.

gute Entscheidung für das Original
Nach langem Suchen und Vergleichen habe ich mich für dieses Original entschieden. Ich sitze nun seit 2 Wochen nach einem Bandscheibenvorfall darauf und komme sehr gut klar. Es entlastet, ist flexibel (bewegt sich in sich mit) und ich kann immer mal die Position ändern (Knie drauf oder Füße abstellen). Obwohl der Preis wirklich sehr hoch ist, denke ich, dass es sich lohnt das teurere Original zu kaufen. Ich habe zwar keinen Vergleich zu den billigeren Varianten, aber ich bin zufrieden und denke mal, dass der Stuhl auch lange hält.
