Treadtop Seating Options
The best ergonomic stools and chairs for use atop an office treadmill base
Ergonomic Office Chair
As you stand at your desk all day, it may be tempting to plunge back into your cushy ergonomic office chair or at the very least lean on your desk to take a load off your back and legs. There’s nothing wrong with getting a bit of rest between standing or walking on a treadmill, but if you find yourself doing that often, you may want to explore intermediate solutions that will help you escape the chair as well as alleviate the hardship of prolonged standing.
Active workstation solutions are evolving so rapidly that even chairs (an old hallmark of inactivity) were bound to get a significant upgrade as well. There are two main subcategories of ergonomic office chair — leaning stools and balance chairs. While leaning stools keep your hips at an angle higher than 135 degrees (some models will practically have you standing), balance chairs allow you to move while seated.
