The discomfort of sitting

Many of us who spend most part of our day sitting in an office chair KNOW the pain of trying to get into a comfortable position.


We shift positions from slouching to bolt upright - and then to right leg crossed over left, to the reverse, to legs uncrossed entirely.


Sometimes, all we want to do is pull our legs up and sit cross-legged like a child, but our narrow, armrest-laden office chair just won't allow it. Until now.

Matthews came up with the Soul Seat’s design while trying out yoga and with his new soul seat allows he's more comfortable and able to achieve yoga positions he'd been far off reaching before.
