Meditation chairs are a supportive tool for meditation practice. They provide a comfortable and adjustable fit that helps you relax while in postures performed kneeling or close to the floor. A meditation chair is designed to help align your back and shoulders and relieve pressure from the knees, ankles, and feet. It usually has two short, six-to-eight-inch tall legs and an angled seat. A meditation chair allows people to sit in an elevated kneeling position and straighten the spine. The difference between meditation chairs and common everyday chairs is that meditation chairs have straighter backs and wider seats to elevate the hips. It allows sitting cross-legged without hip or back tension or kneeling for long periods.
