Ariel Active Chair Review (Active Sitting)

Active sitting has saved my butt!

Hey you, welcome to grown and healthy the channel, where we explore self improvement through movement,

I have always had a love/hate relationship with sitting.
While I love the idea of relaxing and napping in a comfy cushioned chair.
but I never felt rejuvenated after sitting, often, I just felt worse.

at my desk, sitting proved to be more aggravating, causing lack of focus, from the misaligned posture I developed from hunching over the desk or leaning back onto the seat developing sitting form of a posterior pelvic tilt,
my attempts to fix that,
only caused me to overcorrect developing another unengaged form by arching forward to provoke my body in an anterior pelvic tilt.

The problem wasn't just in the positions I tried told, but that these positions were a symptom of being unsupported, by my musculature.

If you are not familiar with this channel we focus on movement recovery.. and just as the heavily cushioned footwear and warped innersole has deadened the response of the feet,

The conventional chair has used unnatural support and exaggerated contours as upright support, that has left us in every position, but upright..

Kyphosis, Lordosis, APT, PPT and overall lethargy are the common symptoms of modern man through sitting.

I have tried all types of chairs, stools, inflatables to mitigate the damage of conventional chairs.
I have also changed my position while performing work, such as standing and
laying on the ground, to provide novelty to the mind and body.

It is a struggle to maintain focus, when you are in a slumped position.
And the sitting induced back pain has affected me personally.
and I'm not alone, 80% of American's are suffering with back pain from sitting.


Luckily the people at Q.O.R.360 offered to send me their Ariel active chair to experience and to share my opinions with you.

QOR360 was founded by Doctor Turner Osler, A physician who understood the damage that conventional sitting was causing.

He developed a chair that would allow more user interactivity, an active chair..
a chair that would balance the demands of the modern workspace with human need for vestibular stimulation.

No longer slumping and zoning out, but upright and focused.

The Chair:
The Ariel is one of 4 chairs offered by QOR360.

all designed with a rocker, that allows you to develop your hip stabilization and torso alignment.
Without the use of armrests or a back support
your body is allowed to float through positions
utilizing a rocker mechanism, termed the "Eccentric Bicylinder"
which frees the pelvis to engage dynamically.

tilt, roll and every position in between can be expressed. with the safeguard of
four very tough vibration isolation mounts.

when I was feeling tense, a few circular rolls in both directions, felt like a mini stretch.

It comes in two sizes, I have the tall version, that adjusts from 20" to 28" with a fabric seat. I unpacked and assembled the chair in under 5 minutes.
3 of those five minutes were spent reading the instructions.
It was very simple.

at a weight of 18 lbs it easy to maneuver. Wheels are optional and are great for eliciting even more core engagement and awareness,
which I found lessened my need to fidget around.

The fabric seat provided enough friction to keep me from sliding off, even when wearing synthetic activewear.
the polished metal legs provided a modern and upscale image to my workspace.

its small footprint, makes it easy to maneuver and is unobtrusive to the space.

The Ariel Chair easily supported my 210lb frame.


I really like this chair, After a month of use, I found it durable and impactful to my workflow.

The Ariel starts at $375 and the value of eradicating back pain and building core stability makes this price a steal.
