The sensitive spine

The spine is often particularly affected. This is due to the complex interplay of ligaments, joints, bones and muscles in this area. This makes the spine extremely vulnerable to injury. An ergonomic stool with casters can explicitly help to reduce muscular strain in the back area and strengthen the spine in the long term. An Ongo Roll stool has a back-strengthening function. This is not just a bold advertising promise, this positive effect has been proven in a study.

Stool with castors: A sustainable increase in work efficiency combined with fun

While an office stool without castors is designed for maximum stability, an ergonomic stool with castors offers health benefits and flexibility. It allows you to move around the room comfortably while sitting. You can quickly reach shelves, documents or even cabinets around your workstation. This saves you time and effort, which ultimately makes you more efficient. Relaxed rolling also adds a little distraction and fun to the office routine.

ONGO stool with castors: Your advantages at a glance

Basically, you benefit from the following advantages with an ergonomic Ongo stool with castors:- An ergonomic stool with castors increases maximum freedom of movement.- Ergonomically optimized office stools promote a variety of movements; especially important when working in a sitting position.- The reduced shape requires an upright posture.- Models with castors allow quick movements in the office.- In addition, ergonomic stools with castors are space-saving and designed for durability.

Ergonomic sitting must be learned often

However, sitting on an ergonomic chair must be learned. Otherwise, you will not be able to maintain an upright sitting posture. Anyone using an ergonomic stool with castors for the first time should allow for a period of adjustment. This is because many people find a healthy or upright sitting posture strenuous at first. This is not least due to the fact that a monotonous and therefore unhealthy sitting posture is (still) widespread. Many people do not know any other sitting posture from school, training and the office; the power of habit sends its greetings.

The body quickly adapts to the new sitting position

An ergonomic stool with castors, on the other hand, minimizes the potential health risks because it requires an upright sitting posture. This must be learned gradually, if necessary. It is true that it is possible to fall back into old sitting habits and slump down on such a stool. However, due to the special design, such a posture is extremely uncomfortable. However, experience has shown that the body adapts relatively quickly to the new sitting requirements. Ideally, this results in a quick recovery.

Ergonomic stool with castors: You should pay attention to these features

[Translate to English:]

Apart from the health aspects, an ergonomic stool with castors also has many other features. It all depends on your needs and individual preferences. This is because the stools differ in terms of shape and color as well as in terms of functions, intended use and price. Basically, you should pay particular attention to the following aspects when choosing an ergonomic stool with castors:

  • Design and color: The seat in classic black or in a different color - the Ongo Roll alone offers you around forty different colors. You should also choose a seat shape that is comfortable for you. For example, you can choose between the classic round version and a saddle seat. There are also differences in terms of the intended use. For example, a beauty chair or a swivel chair for hairdressers has a different design to an office chair or a designer chair.
  • Dimensions and type: Different sized models are available. The respective dimensions should always correspond to the size of the room. The conditions on site are also a decisive factor in determining whether a stool with castors or glides is the best choice.
  • Material and processing quality: Make sure that the material - especially the castors - is of high quality and durable. The castors should also be suitable for all types of flooring. Experience has shown that cheap products quickly give up the ghost when used intensively in the office or study.
  • Choose the right load limit: Find out how much weight a stool can support. The load limit is particularly relevant for people over 100 kilos.
  • Height adjustability: Height adjustment is a key criterion with regard to ergonomic aspects. This is because height adjustability allows you to set or mark the exact position that has proven to be comfortable when working. Depending on the stool model, there are different adjustment ranges and different techniques (gas pressure spring, manual cranking, etc.). You also need to differentiate between gradual and continuous adjustment of the seat height.
  • Swivel function: To be able to reach drawers, cupboards or materials quickly by swiveling, you should choose a model with an explicitly high degree of swivel. An Ongo stool with castors has a turning radius of 360 degrees.
