Function is on full display. This ergonomic office chair's highly technical structures—such as the spine-like Backfit, with its visible H-flexors—show how it bends to encourage seated movement. Embody is purposeful design that creates harmony between your mind and body, and between your body and work. Configure Your Embody Chair Add to Wish List So intelligent, sitting in it actually helps you think With Embody, designers Bill Stumpf and Jeff Weber set out to solve the problem of the lack of physical harmony between people and their technology. They worked with more than 30 physicians and PhDs in the fields of biomechanics, vision, physical therapy, and ergonomics who contributed their expertise to help guide the development of this office chair. As a result, you feel Embody’s responsive ergonomics the moment you sit down—like you are floating, yet perfectly balanced. The seat distributes your weight evenly while supporting your body’s micro-movements.
The narrow backrest allows you to move freely and naturally as it automatically adjusts to support a full range of seated postures. By reducing seated pressure and encouraging freedom of movement, Embody allows blood and oxygen to flow more freely, which helps keep you focused. "Sitting is bad for you. Embody is good for you." Less Pressure, More Cool A combination of support layers in Embody’s seat work together to reduce seated pressure. These layers were designed to allow for airflow, keeping you cool and comfortable as you sit. As Agile as You Are Embody encourages movement, keeping your body and brain limber all day, and helping you stay focused and relaxed at the same time. That’s good, because movement promotes blood and oxygen flow, which keeps the brain more focused. Embody encourages the most healthful posture for computer users—a working recline, which reduces spine compression and even slows fluid loss from discs. The Backfit adjustment positions the backrest in line with your spine's natural curve, from your sacrum to lumbar and upper thoracic.
When you move in this office chair, your head remains properly aligned to your computer display. Embody's tilt technology maintains your back in a fixed position relative to the seat, encouraging your body to move naturally into the most positive seated postures while keeping your pelvis stable. Three Zones of Support The tilt technology of the Embody chair also provides three zones of support—for your thighs, sacrum/sitting bones, and thorax. The pelvis remains stable with no rearward rotation. Without a rigid frame and with edges that flex, Embody prevents uncomfortable pressure on your legs and arms. A dynamic matrix of pixels creates seat and back surfaces that automatically conform to your every movement and distribute your weight evenly. One chair size fits every body because Embody automatically adapts to the wide variation in the sizes, shapes, postures, and spinal curves of different people.

"Best of 2008," Wired magazine2008 "Best of Tech," Yahoo Tech2008 People's Choice at the National Ergonomics Conference and Exhibition2008Meditation is a practice that anyone can participate in because you just need a calm space, your body, and your mind to start. However, for some people, the traditional practice of sitting on the floor to meditate might not be possible because of physical restrictions. Usually, back pain is the biggest complaint, though some people also find the floor too hard to sit on for long periods of time, especially if your home has hardwood floors. You want to be as comfortable as possible while meditating because any pain or discomfort will cause a distraction. Meditation chairs can easily solve the problem of back pain and supply a more comfortable seat. There are many different options available in different price ranges and styles, so most people can find a chair that meets their needs within their budget. Most chairs will have some sort of cushion for the seat that will make a comfortable surface to sit on for the duration of your meditation, so your shopping energy can focus more on style and price.
If you have back problems, it’s important to look for a chair that will provide proper support for your specific issues.

You won’t find meditation chairs for sale in most local stores, but here are some that you can find online. Back Jack Floor Chair The Back Jack Floor Chair is one of the most popular (and most affordable) chairs used for meditation. It’s not specifically made for meditation, people using it for camping, playing videos games, or any other activity that requires sitting on the floor. However, the design is perfect for people who need back support while they meditate. The price is also very reasonable in comparison to some more specialty meditation chairs.
The steel frame supports your back, while the dense foam seat provides a comfortable cushion for your bottom. There is only one size but 9 colors to choose from so you can find a chair to match the decor of your meditation space. These chairs also easily stack, so they are perfect for large meditation classes or families that meditate together.

It’s also adjustable to five different degrees of slope, so you can customize the chair to provide you the back support you need–even lying it completely flat for savasana. The look is a little more classy–it matches the look of upholstered furniture like sofas and chairs, so it looks a little nicer if your meditation spot is a public area in your home.
