How the Seat Works

By balancing over the seat's pivot point, our spine naturally settles into perfectly stacked vertical alignment for a uniquely pleasant, "floating but grounded" sensation. Perfect posture becomes the path of least resistance and the spine feels lifted, not compressed. The awareness of our core gently engaging to support us, unites our body and mind, roots us in the present moment, and creates a simple, strong and stable foundation for focused meditation. While sitting, our muscle memory takes notes as we develop a peripheral and constant awareness of where our spine is and we carry this upright sensation with us throughout the day.

In short, the "sweet seat" makes us want to sit down, once we are sitting we tend to want to stay there, and when we get up we are changed for the better!

What people are saying...

This wonderful seat allows us to instantly fall into place. Its design invites us to bring our awareness to the base of the spine turning the spine into an antenna – receptive, open, expansive, fluid. The simplysitting seat has imprinted my body in such a way that now when I sit on a cushion or blanket, I am reminded to effortlessly sit upright. It’s groundbreaking. I totally dig it!

Unexpectedly centering. Brings you right to your center and holds you there. Joint and body-friendly support encourages time spent in healing quiet.

Sitting on my new seat, face awash with the setting sun, I was so comfortable I think I must’ve fallen asleep. Upright. A first for me. So beautifully crafted and designed, ingenious in fact. It’s definitely an incentive to keep up a regular practice.

I love it! I feel very comfy and steady on it, and love to look at this beautiful object in my living room. People are intrigued by it, so it is also a conversation piece! You did beautiful work, great design. I love the bag also, and how easy it is to carry everywhere. I wanted to express my satisfaction. Thanks for it- it serves me well.

I’m positively delighted with this meditation bench! It’s portable, easy to store beneath a couch, while light enough to carry along in a backpack to a remote location for a memorable sit; it works in a way that naturally provides my lower back all the support it needs to sit for extended periods of time. Good work!

I have never been able to comfortably sit on any bench for meditation, so I was shocked at how comfortable this seat is- no strained ankles or feet, and my knees have no pressure on them. Wow, what an exquisite design!

My wooden seat from simplysitting is a brilliant new addition to my practice.

The seat is amazing! It taps into a link that literally balances the physical and energetic. The spine is lifted instead of grounded and the result is astounding. This is a total game changer!

My husband and I are singing the praises of your sweet seat. We really love them and think of you with gratitude every time we sit. Thanks for helping my practice beyond words.

A great tool. It’s stable and still allows for subtle movement in all directions. It’s like sitting on a cloud while staying grounded to the earth.

Prakash Wilterdink
teacher/staff at Integral Yoga Institute

It’s great — not only is it comfortable, but it makes it almost impossible not to sit up straight. Genius.
