Why is SpinaliS not a normal office chair?

The SpinaliS office chair is the only chair that offers the comfort of a modern office chair, while mimicking active sitting on a fitness ball.

Most people who come to us have already tried an “ergonomic” chair. And most of them are disappointed – because all they get is a softer seat, not a solution. SpinaliS works differently: instead of passively holding you, it activates your muscles during every moment of sitting. Like a therapy ball – but with the ergonomic backrest and comfort of a real office chair.

How is SpinaliS different from a normal office chair?

A normal office chair has a fixed seat.
It puts your body in a position that stays there.

This means that the load on the spine is directed to the same points all the time. Over time, the muscles switch off, posture loosens and tension builds up.

SpinaliS works differently.

The flexible seat follows every movement of the body.
Instead of static, it allows controlled micro-movements that keep muscles active and help relieve spinal strain throughout the working day.

The difference may not be obvious at first glance.
But you can feel it after eight hours – and even more so after years of sitting every day.

Choosing a chair is not just about comfort.
It’s about whether your body will be at rest while you are sitting, or whether it will be encouraged to do what it was designed to do: move.

Why is choosing the right work chair important?

Proper spinal support

We sit for 6, 8, sometimes 10 hours every day. During this time, an ordinary chair gradually weakens the muscles that hold the spine together. When these muscles loosen, pain sets in – and that’s when change becomes harder. SpinaliS breaks this cycle: instead of switching off the muscles, it gently activates them all the time. The result is not just less pain – it’s a spine that strengthens while you work.

Long-term impact on well-being

Back pain is not just physical. They affect concentration, mood, sleep quality and energy during the day. SpinaliS users often report unexpected positive side effects: better concentration, less fatigue after work, easier movement in the evening. When the body is not using energy to compensate for pain, it can use it for everything else.

An investment, not a cost

A good chair seems expensive until you compare it with the cost of physiotherapy, medical check-ups and lost working days. SpinaliS lasts for decades – they offer service and parts replacement even after 15 years. On a per day basis, it’s one of the cheapest healthcare decisions you’ll make.

The difference is not in the way they look.
The difference is in the way they sit.

    Very satisfied customer. I have a lot of back problems (kyphosis) and after just a few minutes of sitting I felt that my back muscles were "working". The chair actually helps with upright posture, which was a big problem for me … More before. Since I chose a very "sedentary" profession, the desire to have this chair had been present and planned for a long time. Now I have it and I am absolutely satisfied. The chair works by strengthening the back muscles, so with regular use it helps us maintain a better posture even on other chairs. I recommend it for anyone who sits most of the day and has pain associated with it.
    In addition, it is a very beautiful chocolate brown color.

    I’ve been using the Hacker chair for the past 5 years and it’s been great for my posture.
    Recently I broke a chair lifter (gas pump) and the service was quick, easy and inexpensive.
    Definitely recommend the chair if you spend a lot of time
    … More sitting.

    I recently purchased the Spinalis chair, and it has been a game-changer for my seating position and overall comfort.
    The ergonomic design really helps maintain a proper seating posture, which has significantly reduced my back pain and muscle
    … More tension. Even in the first week of usage I could already feel a noticeable improvement in my back health and muscles.
    I highly recommend the Spinalis chair to anyone looking for a comfortable and supportive seating solution. It's definitely worth the investment!

    Spinalis chairs are amazing, they really relieve your neck and back tensions! I had mine shipped from Slovenia and it was super easy to assemble the chair. The staff at Spinalis were also very helpful when processing my order.

    I have had this chair (Navigator model) for more that 15 years. I think that this is one of the first models. After this time the fabric got a bit worn out and the hydraulics got stuck so i took it in for a repair. I paid approx 50 EUR … More and the chair is as good as new. They even replaced the back pin that holds the backrest for free that I didnt even notice that it was broken. I would say its worh the money given that its hard to buy quality products these days that really last not to meantion the health benefits this chair brings. I have it at home and i can feel the difference if i work from home or from the office (where i dont have the navigator). Now that the COVID situation is becoming under control and we are returning to work in offices its becoming even more clear that this is indeed a perfect chair. The staff handling the repair were super friendly as well.

    Brilliant chairs, a unique design worldwide that is both comfortable and gives your back a gentle workout of sorts...just enough to keep sitting safe and keep it from causing back problems longterm. The company is family run with impeccable … More service and kind responses. A very good investment!
