Sitting in motion on ergonomic rocking chairs

Many people only know a rocking chair as a cozy armchair in which you can relax in front of the fireplace after work. However, rocking chairs are also available to buy as office task chairs, which offer great ergonomic advantages for relaxed, healthy sitting with their curved skids.
An ergonomic rocking or skid-base chair does not stand on four legs or a swivel base with castors like other seating furniture, but its seat rests on two skids. These are slightly curved so that you are constantly making a gentle tilting movement of the pelvis and spine when seated.
When you lean forward, your body has to find its own balance; this strengthens the abdominal and back muscles. When leaning back, the backrest provides support, supports the spine and prevents tension. The rigid sitting posture at the desk is loosened up in this way, which also keeps the circulation going and improves the ability to concentrate. Ergonomics doesn't just mean sitting comfortably and back-friendly, it also supports performance at the workplace.

Tip: Movable skid-base chairs are also very popular with children - they are great to tilt on, but never fall over! They are therefore very suitable for your children's urge to move.
We offer a very wide selection of ergonomic chairs for children.

Variants of ergonomic rocking chairs

Rocking chairs belong to the category of exercise chairs, but are also offered as relaxation chairs. There is a wide variety of rocking chair models, as in principle any four-legged chair can also be fitted with runners.

You decide how much you want to rock - but as the runners always remain curved, there is never a complete standstill. The Varier Actulum and the MOIZI skid-base chairs with adjustable seat height and integrated lumbar support are true classics among skid-base chairs. The Varier Variable is a high-quality skid-base chair, while the Variable Plus even has a low backrest. The Varier Gravity skid-base chair, which can even be reclined to a horizontal position, provides complete relaxation in between.

Caution: A rocking chair is not necessarily ideal for long periods of concentrated work. In particular, skid-base kneeling stools without a backrest are only designed for shorter periods of sitting, as sitting upright for long periods without a break can tire the muscles.

FAQ

1. What are skid-base chairs?
Skid chairs are motion chairs that keep the body in motion even when seated. The entire seat can swing forwards and backwards on two runners, just like the well-known classic rocking chair. Brands such as Varier and MOIZI have developed extremely comfortable ergonomic skid-base chairs that allow different sitting positions - from kneeling to leaning back and relaxing. Sitting on a sled chair exercises the muscles, keeps the spine in motion and improves the oxygen supply to the blood circulation.

2. What are kneeling chairs?
On a kneeling chair, you sit at a very open angle, with the body's center of gravity not resting on the rump but being transferred to the shins. The open angle between your upper body and legs improves your posture and allows you to breathe more deeply. Kneeling chairs with a low backrest can be used for longer periods of sitting work. Such kneeling chairs, for example from the manufacturer Varier, often stand on movable runners, opening up a further dimension of movement.

3. Which manufacturers offer skid-base chairs?
The best-known brands for skid-base chairs and skid-base stools are Varier and MOIZI. The Varier Variable Plus is one of the best knee stools on skids, while the Varier Gravity Balans is the pinnacle of ergonomic rocking chairs and relaxation chairs on the market. You can buy all brands at Profi-Line in Gotha.

4. Are rocking chairs ergonomic?
Rocking chairs are very ergonomic as they allow or even force you to sit in motion. The constant slight balancing movements when sitting on two runners train the muscles, improve the oxygen supply and thus increase concentration and performance.
