Two years ago we were a small chair company from Wisconsin nobody had heard of. Tonight we're running a TV commercial on the College Baseball World Series. We built a chair backed by two independent university studies, licensed physical therapists, and real science. Now we're bringing it to the biggest stage we've ever been on. Watch the game tonight. We'll be there. Consider this our first at bat ⚾️
The best ergonomic chair isn't the one that forces your body into position.
It's the one that supports the way your body was designed to move.
Built around your pelvis. Designed for all-day comfort.
Your body isn’t being lazy. Your chair is tilting your pelvis backward. That rounds your spine. Your muscles then spend 8 hours fighting gravity just to keep you upright. That’s why you’re exhausted — not a willpower problem. An engineering one. We spent 30 years on wheelchair seating science before building Anthros. Because the chair most offices buy was designed for liability, not the human body.
The gap between wheelchair seating and office seating is smaller than it seems.
We broke down some of the biggest lessons here:

Turns out, principles developed for wheelchair users can teach us a lot about everyday office seating too.
Pressure distribution.
Pelvic positioning.
Long-duration support.
Movement.
Things that matter more than most people realize.
80% of desk workers report chronic back pain.
That’s not normal. It’s just been normalized.
Most chairs were designed to keep you seated. Anthros was designed to support how your body actually works.
Remember the first night you slept on a really good mattress?
That moment where you realized: “Oh… this is what comfort is supposed to feel like.”
That’s what upgrading your chair feels like too.
You already invested in the nice desk. The monitor. The speakers. The keyboard.
But the thing supporting your body for 8+ hours a day?
Most people are still sitting in whatever came with the office.
Anthros changes that.
And once you feel the difference, it’s hard to go back.
Most chair companies hire designers.
We hired people like Stacey.
For over 25 years, Stacey Mullis has worked as an occupational therapist and seating specialist helping people who spend their lives in chairs. Not just office workers, but people whose health, mobility, comfort, and independence depend on getting seating exactly right.
That perspective changes how you think about a chair.
You stop asking: “How soft can we make it?”
And start asking: “How do we actually support the human body for hours every single day?”
Stacey has taught at conferences around the world, mentored therapists, built education programs, and helped thousands of people better understand posture, pressure, and movement.
But honestly, if you ask anyone here what makes Stacey special, they probably won’t start with her credentials.
They’ll talk about her laugh. Her energy. Her ability to make people feel understood the second they talk to her.
Anthros exists because of people like Stacey.
People who genuinely care how you feel when you sit down.
For years, people treated back pain like part of the routine. The stiffness. The numb legs. The constant shifting around in your seat.
Like discomfort was just the price of working all day.
Anthros was built to challenge that.
Not just another office chair. A completely different way to sit.
More and more people are realizing they don’t have to live with pain at their desk anymore. This is how sitting changes.
