You've got questions, we've got answers

QOR360 designs and manufactures chairs that promote active sitting, helping to improve posture, core strength, and verall health. Our patented Red Rocker™ technology encourages constant micro-movements, reducing the negative effects of prolonged sitting.

Traditional ergonomic chairs force static sitting, which can lead to back pain, poor posture, and poor health. QOR360 chairs promote active sitting with a seat top that gently rocks in all directions in response to the sitter’s posture, engaging core muscles, raising metabolism, and preventing slouching. Active sitting can help reduce back pain, and improves overall health through increased metabolic activity. 

QOR360 chairs are designed without arm, head, or back rests, or conventional lumbar support. These “supports” actually make sitting posture worse, as your body relaxes muscles when relying on these unnecessary parts. With our simple mechanism, the patented RedRocker™, your body comfortably learns to support its own posture, strengthening your core musculature.   

Anyone who sits will benefit from active sitting! People who spend extended periods sitting may benefit even more from a QOR360 chair. Our chairs are ideal for home offices, workplaces, classrooms, and even kids who need an active sitting solution.

Both! QOR360 chairs are great for office work, helping with movement while reaching and turning. They’re also ideal for home use—whether at a kitchen table, or in a home office. If you have to sit, make it active!

Active sitting encourages small, constant movements that keep your body engaged, similar to walking. This helps improve posture, strengthen core muscles, and reduce back pain caused by prolonged static sitting. Learn more about active sitting, here.

At first, people are often surprised by the movement, but quickly adapt and enjoy the experience. At first, start with 30 minutes at a time so you can ease into using the chair. Eventually most people adapt to using the chair full time within a couple of weeks!  Everyone is different however and depending on your age and physical fitness you may adapt faster or slower.  Active sitting keeps your core musculature engaged, improving posture naturally. Unlike traditional chairs, which can leave you stiff after prolonged sitting, QOR360’s constant micro-movements prevent that discomfort—so when you stand up, you feel ready to move, no stretching required.

Yes, there is an adjustment period. Most users adapt within a few days to a couple of weeks. We recommend starting with short periods and gradually increasing your sitting time as your muscles strengthen.

Yes! Once your body adapts, a QOR360 chair can be used for an entire workday. Many users find it more comfortable than traditional chairs because it encourages natural movement.  However we always suggest getting up and walking around every thirty minutes to an hour no matter what chair you are using.

The “Tall” sized Ariel chair has a max height of 27 inches, which is tall enough for some people to use comfortably at a standing desk, and many customers report using it in this way. However, our chairs are designed more specifically to use at a sitting height, so we find them a perfect complement to adjustable height desks by making it easy to switch between sitting and standing throughout the day.

Active sitting increases your metabolic rate by about 20%, so over long periods, like the average 10 hours a day, active sitting can contribute to calorie burn which may help you lose weight. We're still studying how sitting durations impact results, but one guaranteed benefit is a stronger core and better posture, which can help reduce back pain and make moving more while you’re not sitting more easy and enjoyable. While active sitting isn’t a magic weight-loss solution, it’s the healthiest way to sit!

Static sitting in conventional chairs leads to muscle inactivity and metabolic dysfunction, contributing to a cascade of negative health effects. When muscles remain still for prolonged periods, they become metabolically inactive, reducing calorie expenditure and altering biochemical processes. Research has linked prolonged static sitting to increased blood pressure, elevated fasting glucose, higher triglyceride levels, and cardiovascular disease risk (Biswas et al., Annals of Internal Medicine, 2015). Alarmingly, these metabolic harms are not reversed by exercise; even regular gym workouts cannot counteract the damage caused by prolonged passive sitting.

The QOR360 chair promotes active sitting, which continuously engages core and postural muscles, reducing spinal compression and improving musculoskeletal alignment. This dynamic movement may counteract the metabolic stagnation seen with traditional seating. Studies suggest that even small movements, such as fidgeting, significantly reduce the negative health impacts of sitting (Hagger-Johnson et al., American Journal of Preventive Medicine, 2016). While long-term research on active sitting is ongoing, recent studies show that the constant micro-movements encouraged by the QOR360 chair helps maintain metabolic activity, increasing caloric burn by 15%.

QOR360 chairs are only available for purchase directly from our website QOR360.com.

While there are no retail locations where you can try a QOR360 chair, we offer a 60-day return policy so you can try active sitting, risk-free. If it’s not the right fit, you can return it for a full refund. This is better than trying in a store because you get to see how the chair fits into your everyday life, and it usually takes a few weeks to experience all the benefits active sitting has to offer.

Yes, we offer a 60-day return policy so you can try a QOR360 chair risk-free. If it’s not the right fit, you can return it for a full refund. We even pay return shipping in the continental United States, and it is free shipping to you, so there is zero financial risk.

Our chairs come with a 3 year warranty. We stand behind our products and will repair or replace any defective components. Even if your chair has issues after that time frame, we are usually able to fix or replace parts for a minimal fee, reducing waste and making sure our chairs continue to help people for years to come.

Refurbished chairs have minor cosmetic flaws but are in perfect working condition. They are final sale but still come with our warranty for repairs or replacement parts. Contact our support team with your preferred model, size, color, and wheel preference, and we’ll check availability! Otherwise, sign up for our email list to be notified when we’re running a refurbished chair sale.

Our chairs are designed for natural, healthy sitting without extra cushioning. The firm seat helps your sitz bones provide the feedback your spine needs for proper alignment. Some users find it firm at first but adjust over time, similar to getting used to a bike seat.

That said, everyone’s different! If you prefer extra padding, you can slip a folded towel or foam (like a cut-up yoga mat) under the upholstery using the front zipper. We also offer optional comfort cushions for the Newton and Cleo 2. Feel free to customize your chair to fit your needs!

Yes, all of our models, except for the kid’s ButtOn Chair, have adjustable height options to ensure an optimal fit for different users and desk setups.

We provide a detailed comparison guide on our website to help you choose the right model based on your sitting and workspace needs.

Most of our chairs come in “short” and “tall,” and most are height adjustable. Check our product pages for guidance on selecting the right size chair for you. [insert link to sizing video]

The height of one’s chair is very important to allow you to take full advantage of active sitting. We recommend that you measure the distance from floor to the top of your kneecap (patella) while standing (in shoes you would normally wear while using the chair) and then pick the size closest to your personal patellar height. For a patellar height of 20in or less, you need a Short chair, if you have a patellar height greater than 20in you need a Tall chair.  If you find yourself between sizes, it’s a good idea to choose the larger size. The fit doesn’t have to be exact, but you should select the chair that most closely fits your personal anatomy.

Sitting with hips at a 90-degree angle often leads to slouching, collapsing the spine into a “C” shape, which can cause discomfort and back pain. To maintain a healthier posture, your hips should be slightly higher than your knees, creating an open hip angle and more natural spinal curve. That’s why QOR360 chairs are adjustable and come in multiple size ranges, ensuring the right fit for every user.

The Tilt!, Newton, Ariel 1.0, and Cleo 2 all have a max weight capacity of 250 pounds. The Ariel 2.0 is rated for up to 300 pounds. The children’s ButtOn Chair can safely hold up to 120 pounds and is NOT recommended for adults. 

When you order wheels with your initial chair purchase, you’ll receive both wheels and stationary feet, which are easily interchangeable. You may also order wheels at a later date, if you decide you need them. Please note that while we offer wheels, we generally don’t recommend them as they can make active sitting challenging to get the hang of, and using them on a very smooth surface can be precarious. Most people assume they need them simply because traditional office chairs have always had them. But unlike bulky office chairs that can weigh 50 lbs, our lightweight 20 lb chairs are easy to pick up and move with one hand, making wheels unnecessary for most users.

Most users report relief from back pain after switching to an active sitting chair. While results vary, our chairs encourage healthy posture and core engagement, which can alleviate discomfort caused by traditional chairs.

Yes! The ButtOn Chair is designed specifically for kids to help them develop good posture habits early. Check our product page for recommended age and size guidelines.

Our chairs, including the ButtOn Chair, Newton, Cleo 2, and seat base of the Ariel 1.0 and Tilt! are primarily made of sustainably sourced wood, and the cushion of the Tilt! is filled with all natural buckwheat hulls. While other components, like aluminum bases, natural rubber mounts, and polycarbonate rockers, are not biodegradable, our chairs are designed overall for minimal environmental impact and maximum durability. Each rocker uses about as much plastic as four milk jugs—but unlike milk jugs, they’re built to last a lifetime.

For wooden surfaces and performance leather, use a damp cloth and mild soap, if needed. For upholstered seats, a gentle fabric cleaner works well. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools.
