Spotlight: QOR360 (New England Ergonomic Office Chairs)

 ​Like many other professionals, wedding coordinators spend a lot of the day sitting at a desk.  I’m on the phone with potential clients, emailing vendors, chatting with my team, updating our website, and the list goes on and on.  Even though the day of an event can be very active, most of the week is fairly sedentary.  Because of this, I knew that when I furnished my new home office, I had to choose an option for my desk chair that would allow for “active sitting”.  This trend provides options for chairs that may look a little bit funny, but are truly ergonomic in the sense of overall comfort.  Active sitting might look like a big round ball or a stool or a kneeling chair instead of a traditional rolling desk chair. More on active sitting here. 

As I searched for something that would be a good fit, I stumbled across QOR360 (pronounced core, like your abs!).  Not only are they a brand new company, but they are New England locally headquartered (Vermont!) and produced as well. They devoted a whole page on their site to the importance of posture and the technology that they created that supports long-term health.  I had to try one!

Well, I’ve been sitting on the chair for more than a week, and I have to say, I’m impressed.  It’s definitely not as easy as slouching in big chair and if I sit on the chair for more than a few hours at a time, I definitely can feel fatigued.  My hope is that I can build my core strength while sitting at my desk.  It doesn’t hurt that the chair is beautiful as well!
