  • "Perfect. I got this because I know I prefer flexible seating and it could help my longevity of work from home. Unexpectedly, this mobility also resolved severe shoulder and neck pain I've had for over a year. Turns out, it's all connected!"

    Annie in Colorado

  • "Invest in yourself. One of the best purchases I’ve made in a while."

    Yanira in Utah

  • “Get yourself a Soul Seat, your body will absolutely thank you. Especially any expecting, desk working mamas. So nice to have the freedom to move when your muscles and joints are experiencing the marathon of growing a baby."

    Kit in Missouri

  • "One month in with daily use at work and this is the most versatile and amazing thing I have ever sat on. It accommodates so many postural adjustments and changes throughout the day and is starting to open up a lot of tighter lower body movements."

    Anthony in Colorado

  • “My body loves this chair. Buy the chair, your back, hips, and knees will thank you. Yes, the chair is expensive but you are absolutely worth it.”

    Sarah in Washington

  • "The Soul Seat has brought such joy and vitality to my life. I am over 70 years old and spend hours at the computer each day. With the Soul Seat my body and mind are fully engaged, and, after only four months I realized that my posture had improved significantly. The production of the Soul Seat is also environmentally regenerative and socially just - an example of the circular economy at its best."

    Sharon in Chicago

  • "I love this seat. It’s everything that I hoped for - comfortable, cool looking and good for me. The quality is excellent as well. Very happy with this purchase!"
