RETHINK SITTING
The healthiest way to sit.
The office chair you are sitting in is terribly designed. Modern chairs encourage poor posture and inactivity.
1. Relieve Back Pain
Active sitting keeps your core strengthened and body aligned. We are designed to move, and when you stay in motion, your back appreciates it.
2. Improve Posture
Posture is your body’s response to gravity. QOR360 chairs are designed to allow your hips and spine to tip, gently aligning into a natural, comfortable position.
3. Sit Healthy
Research shows that sitting is as bad for our health as smoking. People sit more than ever (Americans, on average, sit for 11 hours per day!) and it’s literally killing us. Active sitting keeps your body in motion, and helps prevent sitting disease.
"I’ve finally found something that leads to a sense of wellness, security, and freedom. Not only do I use this chair for normal sitting but am using it in movement exercises that I can conclusively say are restoring my functionality in a way that I never thought I would be able to."
DR. RICHARD RODRIGUEZ MD
"I love this chair. I was having shoulder issues in my previous chair from leaning and not being in an active position. This also contributed to some hip and ham string issues. With your chair I can still sit to take a load off but it keeps me upright, no slouching."

TECH SPECS
Customize your chair.
Choose from three different seat coverings and two different sizes.
SEAT MATERIAL
Performance Leather (Vegan)
If you want to make a statement, here’s how. Elegant, buttery soft to the touch but nearly indestructible, our performance leather is stronger and far more durable than animal hide. And, unlike traditional leather, performance leather requires no upkeep. Maybe this is why Mercedes uses performance leather in their cars?
Fabric
Corporate and understated, our upholstered Ariel fits easily into any office decor. But while it may seem undistinguished, beneath the seat is a radical sitting technology hiding in plain sight. Hand-stitched and with a thin layer of foam on the underside for breathability, we pay attention to detail.
Available in Gray.
SIZE
Short
(17-21 inches), for shorter folks
Tall
(20-28 inches), for average and tall folks
How to measure
How to measure:
Deciding the correct height of your QOR360 chair is very important to maintain proper posture when sitting. Our chairs are adjustable, but come in to overall sizes: Tall (20″ – 28″) and Short (17″-21″). To decide whether you need a tall, or short chair, stand in whatever shoes you will be wearing when sitting and measure from the ground to the top of your patella (knee cap). This measurement is roughly the height at which you’ll want to be sitting. So, if the height of your patella is above 21″ you’ll need a tall chair, but if your patella is less than 20″ your better suited for a Short chair. There’s some overlap in our chair’s heights, so if you’re patella is exactly 20″ you’ll likely be happy with either chair size.

Meet Dr. Turner Osler
Turner is the CEO and Founder of QOR360. Dr. Osler is an academic trauma surgeon turned research epidemiologist who has published over 300 peer-reviewed medical papers and book chapters. As a physician who’s suffered from a tyranny of conventional chairs for most of his life, Dr. Osler’s quest for a healthier way to sit led him to develop The Eccentric Bicylinder, a shape that is central to QOR360’s ergonomic, healthy, and active seating products.
