Leitz Ergo Cosy Active Sit Stand Stool

Great Design, Great for the Core

I’ve used this sit/standing stool for the last 4 weeks to try and give a good honest review. First of all the design is great, for those of you that are wanting to build some core strength then I would definitely recommend. Overall the build quality is strong and handles weight very well. Even after 4 weeks it still feels as sturdy as it did to start with. Stool is easy to adjust and relatively smooth travel. A couple of disadvantages. The base of the stool is a white rubber and seems to get dirty very quickly making the stool look slightly worn. The seat cushion looks and feels very basic. Although comfortable. Overall I’d recommend giving it a try.

Remote working lifesaver!

Working from home has done no good at all for my posture over recent years however I was concerned that I would slouch sitting on a backless stool but this was not the case at all. The stool is extremely easy to manoeuvre, there is a button on the leg for changing the height position and the seat itself is very comfortable. I am now using this stool for around 6 hours per day and no back pain at all!

Great buy, very comfortable

This stool is great for so many purposes. It is nice and sturdy and really comfy. Its great that it rocks and moves to an angle to suit comfort, which is great for back pain. I have used this in place of a chair at the dining table whilst sewing, my husband has used it for work on his laptop at the breakfast bar, and my son has used it for playing his drum kit. The height is adjustable and the bottom has a rubber grip so it doesnt slip on hard floors.

Great for posture and aching joints

I was excited about receiving this chair because I spend long hours sat at a computer for work. I can often be in the same position for hours and it really isn't great for my back and joints. This stool really is a game changer for me. I'm not simply sitting - the movement and curved base allows me to rock from side to side and forwards and backwards. Whilst at my desk I'm rotating and moving my joints without turning away from the screen. The difference in how I feel at the end of the day is huge - all this from a simple ergonomical stool. What I've noticed is that I have more balance, no achy back muscles when climbing the stairs and I sleep better at night because the constant pain I used to have on the right side of my lower back is no longer there. I have actually 'exercised' my way to pain relief whilst working. This 'simple' stool has certainly exceeded my expectations and I've been recommending to my friends.

Excellent stool that supports your lower back

I was unsure about a wobbly-based stool, but it didn't take long for us to take to it. Now we both want to use it. We primarily use it to sit at our kitchen table to work from home, it makes our back muscles feel very good already. I like to press on the front of the base to tip it to the angle I like, and it feels very comfortable. When you turn, the base rotates and it makes it easy to get up. It is easy to adjust the height, so you can use it as more of a leaning post if you are standing. The cover looks like it detaches so it can be washed. I would definitely buy more of this stool.

Comfortable and sturdy

No building was required. It came already set up in the box which was amazing as i am useless with tools! The chair is easily adjustable for height by simply pressing the 2 red sides together and pulling the seat up or down to where you want it. The base isn’t flat on the floor so the seat actually swivels as you move to reach things! The top part where you sit on is lovely and soft so not hard on your bottom, it has so many used around the home… in fact my husband has now decided to buy another one as he wants one for work! Highly recommended for all ages!

So comfortable

Absolutely top quality stool, very comfortable and extremely well made. Lots of seat padding and the rocking base although a bit hard to get used to at first is now second nature. I throughly recommend. At the time of this review it also comes with a 5 year warranty. Well worth the money

Comfy Rocker

The Active stool features a gently curved base that encourages subtle rocking, engaging your lower back and sides while you focus on your work. While it may take some getting used to, I now rely on it for at least half of my workday. The seat, approximately 50cm thick, offers comfortable seating, and with height adjustability ranging from 48cm to 79cm, it's easy to find the ideal setting for your desk or table setup. Weighing 7kg, it's sturdy enough to withstand accidental knocks. Ideal for pairing with sit-stand desks.

So versatile, plush and amazingly comfy

I love love love this stool! I didn’t realise how much I needed this…it’s become a work stool, dining stool and just a general seating stool that is often fought over. The rocking back is amazingly fun and a good way of ensuring good posture and engaging your core when seated. A plush padded seat with neutral tone that fits sneaks into any decor with its muted grey tones. It can be easily adjusted with the clip button base. It can be set to a seated height and even to a balanced standing height to perch on whilst working on a higher workstation. This is honestly one of the most comfiest workstation stools around and in my opinion far superior to a standard workstation chair. With a small compact footprint - it is minimalist and can be used anywhere and everywhere. It’s even used an additional seat at the dinner table now for that extra unexpected guest. It’s a good light weight and so can be moved around easily. I’m thinking of getting a second one as there’s often a few fights over who gets the stool!

A Game Changer for Comfort and Productivity

I recently had the opportunity to change my home office chair. Following a bit of research I chose the Leitz Ergo Cosy Active Sit Stand Stool. It seemed the best option for my workspace, and I’ve got to say, it’s been a game changer. As someone who can spend long hours at a desk, comfort and ergonomics are paramount to my productivity and overall well-being. This stool delivers on both fronts and then some. Firstly, the design is sleek and modern, fitting seamlessly into any office aesthetic, which my partner agrees with. But beyond its aesthetic appeal, its functionality is impressive. The 2-in-1 feature, allowing for both sitting and standing positions, provides flexibility. Whether I'm working at my standing desk or taking a brief seated break, the transition is smooth and effortless. What sets this stool apart is its ergonomic design. The contoured seat and adjustable height ensure optimal support and posture alignment, reducing strain on my back and legs even during extended periods of use. The active sitting feature engages my core muscles, promoting better circulation and preventing stiffness. The active sitting feature means it’s got a rubber base on a very slight curve. It can’t tip over but you can roll your hips in an impressive way and if needed, shout “Shakira Shakira” cos these hips don’t lie. Which is my way of saying it’s really really good. The quality of materials and construction is evident from the moment you unbox it. Sturdy yet lightweight, it's easy to move around and adjust to my preferred height. And the non-slip base provides stability on any surface, giving me peace of mind while I focus on my work. Overall, the Leitz Ergo Cosy Active Sit Stand Stool has exceeded my expectations in every way. It's not just a piece of furniture; it feels like an investment in my health and productivity. If you're looking to upgrade your workspace and prioritise comfort without sacrificing functionality, look no further than this innovative stool. Highly recommended! Shakira Shakira!
