SITNESS mechanism
SITNESS is an ergonomic dynamic mechanism. It has been medically proven that the chair’s three-dimensional dynamic mechanism resembles sitting on a ball – the seat moves forward, backwards and sideways with the body, adapting to the body’s movements. This makes for a very comfortable seating experience, as the back muscles are not strained – sitting in this chair relaxes the intervertebral discs in the spine, which improves blood circulation.
Although the benefits of SITNESS have been proven by medical studies, some clients find the dynamic mechanism uncomfortable and unstable. If you are unsure whether SITNESS is really for you, we recommend that you contact one of our consultants or try out a chair with the SITNESS mechanism in person in our showroom.
SITNESS LIFE 20 is also recommended by our partner HEALTHY BACK SCHOOL.
SITNESS MECHANISM
Arm support
The armrests of this chair provide support for the arms. This reduces tension on the arms, shoulders, neck and hand muscles. This is particularly important when sitting for long periods of time. When work is finished, the armrests can be used as a support when standing up, thus reducing the strain on the pelvic muscles.
It is recommended to choose an armrest position that allows the arms to be bent at about 90° while sitting at the desk, with the shoulder blades naturally relaxed and in a straight horizontal line. It is important to ensure that when sitting in a chair, the legs of the person should be at a straight 90° angle to the floor.
SITNESS LIFE 20 is an excellent ergonomic solution. If you have any questions about how to adjust your ergonomic chair, please read the advice from the Chair Centre or contact our consultants.

The ACTIVE SITTING office chair SITNESS LIFE 20 is also recommended by our partner Healthy Spine School. Who not only encourage safe and effective exercise, but also draw attention to quality ACTIVE SITTING in the workplace and home environment.
Classically shaped backrest
Visitor chair SITNESS LIFE 20 has a classically shaped backrest. This type of backrest provides comfortable back support for people of all heights and body shapes. For some customers ergonomically shaped backrests are not comfortable and sometimes cause discomfort. Classically shaped backrests are more likely to make it easier to find a comfortable sitting position. It is worth noting that the shape of the backrest is a very personal choice. If more than one person will be using this SITNESS LIFE 20 chair, or if you are not sure which back shape would suit you best, we recommend that you try it out live in our showroom.
11 mm castors (for soft floors)
Guest chair SITNESS LIFE 20 is with castors for soft flooring. If the chair is used on hard flooring (wooden flooring, parquet, laminate), the surface may be damaged or scratched over time. Our specialists recommend that you purchase additional castors for hard flooring. Wheel axle 11 mm. The castors are made of thermoplastic elastomer, sometimes called thermoplastic rubber, which is a physical mixture of polymers consisting of materials with both thermoplastic and elastomeric properties. These wheels are softer and do not scratch hard flooring.
We recommend purchasing a plastic mat under the chair to protect the more sensitive floor covering. If a stable, fixed seating position is desired, we recommend chair feet instead of castors. When choosing chair castors, it is very important to pay attention to the type of use and the floor covering, if you are not sure we recommend you contact our consultants or visit our showroom.

Height-adjustable table
Our specialists recommends taking breaks during work based on medical research. Taking a 15-minute break every 45 minutes to move around. Prolonged sitting in one fixed position increases the likelihood of chronic pain and cardiovascular disease. We recommend combining seated work with standing work, together at a height-adjustable table! Learn more
Chair feet
When you buy an office chair, we often get questions about whether the castors can be replaced with feet. Of course! An office chair with feet is stable and its functionality remains unchanged. This is especially true for workplaces where there is a small, limited working area and stability is needed: shops, warehouses and production companies. People with disabilities or elderly customers often ask for chairs with feet. Learn more.
