The only truly ergonomic chair for children, one that promotes good posture, is a saddle chair with a central gap. This chair must also be anatomically designed to minimize pressure on the sensitive soft tissues of the pelvic floor and inner thighs.
When the thighs can slope downward at approximately 45 degrees, and the pubic bone can fit into the central gap without pressing on the genitals, the pelvis and the entire spine above it can align naturally into a straight and healthy posture.
In addition, only a quick-adjustable desk height is needed to fine-tune the working posture and the upper body position.
The cost of such a setup is under €200 in bulk purchases. However, schools often lack the understanding necessary to invest in such health-focused furniture.
Traditional furniture, even those with some adjustable features, tends to cause the back to round while sitting, which inevitably leads to the gradual development of various ailments. These, in turn, result in healthcare costs and the loss of well-being, beginning at a young age and continuing into working life.
