What is the best height to sit at with my stool?

This is a tricky question because the answer will depend on each individual’s size and posture requirements. As a general rule for good posture and to determine the best height for your chair, we recommend sitting towards the front of the seat with at least half of the upper leg off of the seat. Your knees should sit slightly lower than your pelvis and your feet should sit flat on the ground. This will give you an idea of the best height at which your seat should sit.
