Awarded Best of Year by Interior Design Magazine and winner of a HiP award, the Oyster Wellness Seat is a revolutionary product from Oyster Wellness, developed with exercise physiologist Jesse Schwartzman. Designed for optimal backless seated posture, it aligns the head, shoulders, and hips for natural upper-back extension and head alignment.

The Oyster Wellness Seat flips traditional ergonomics upside down, focusing on natural spinal alignment and engaging lower back muscles, making it ideal for meditation. It addresses common issues like stress and low back pain with its versatile size, shape, and customizable pillow accessories. Unlike traditional seating that strains the sacrum and lower back, the Oyster Wellness Seat uses external hip rotation stabilizing forces for comfort.

A gap under the thigh allows single-point contact on the shin and ankle, promoting freedom of movement and airflow. With knees below the hips, the lumbar spine maintains its natural curve, providing a stable base for the upper body. Identifying issues with existing seats, such as lower back and hip flexor pressure, poor foot positioning, and inadequate support for the SITS bones, we started from scratch.

The result is a seat that encourages natural spinal alignment while keeping lower back muscles engaged, promoting stronger and healthier backs. The Oyster Wellness Seat supports the core without exerting undue pressure on the sacrum and lower back. The thigh gap creates a single point of contact on the shin and ankle, allowing for movement and preventing a cramped sensation.

By positioning the knees below the hips, facilitates hip external rotation, maintaining the lumbar spine’s natural curve. This design offers the SITS bones a soft yet firm base, preventing a sagging pelvis that can cause stress and pain.

The seat’s shape and size allow users to explore various postures, making it versatile for meditation practices. Bolsters provide customization and additional support tailored to individual needs. The Oyster Wellness Seat is perfect for those with reduced hip flexibility, offering a comfortable alternative to traditional meditation seating or floor sitting.

By addressing significant issues with traditional meditation seats, the Oyster Wellness Seat enhances comfort, supports well-being, and promotes healthier posture and back strength, making meditation a more comfortable and effective practice.
