Review Of The Jobri Ergonomic Kneeling Chair

Jobri is based in Konawa Oklahoma and produces a wide range of ergonomic products of which the Jobri kneeling seating range is a part.

There is a standard and a deluxe model in the Jobri ergonomic Kneeling Chair range, plus some enhancements. We review the standard models here, the top of the range model is the Wood Accent F1430 and a review of this Kneeling Seat can be found here Wood Accent Kneeling Chair.

The entry level Kneeling Seat is the Jobri F1420, which has a black painted steel frame and is manually height adjustable by means of a rear mounted vertical support. The frame of the F1420 kneeling chair has a scissor like construction and by adjusting the vertical adjustment bar it raises and lowers the seat height accordingly.

The overall seat height adjustment is between 21'' and 28.5'' to enable personal adjustment for correct positioning and your overall kneeling comfort. The F1420 seat pad is made from supportive polyurethane foam which is upholstered in a good quality black fabric and is 17.5'' wide by 12.5'' deep.

The knee cushion has a pair of pads which are similarly constructed and finished with each being 6.5'' by 11''.

The kneeling seat angle and knee pad position is fixed and has been designed for body weights up to 280 lbs and should be fine for most users needs.

The Jobri F1420 Kneeling Chair has front and rear parallel supports at the base of the Kneeling Seat and these have a castor on each corner to provide maneuverability of the chair at your workstation.

The Jobri F1425 is the deluxe version of the steel framed Jobri ergonomic Kneeling Chair. Although made from steel like the F1420 the design is quite different.

Here Jobri have opted to produce a Kneeling Chair that is pneumatic height adjustable and the design is rather like a conventional office chair without a back that has been fitted with a knee pad.

Looking at the F1425 from bottom to top, it is built around a 5 star swivel base which houses a gas lift which in turn attaches to the underside of the frame that incorporates the seat pad and knee pad fixing brackets.

Height adjustment is between 19'' and 22.5'' and is adjusted by means of lever fitted to the right hand of the ergonomic Kneeling Chair.

The F1425 seat pad is slightly larger at 17.5'' wide by 14.5'' deep and the knee pad is a single pad that is 16.5'' by 12''

The chair is more maneuverable by means of its swivel base and is probably the best model for computer use.

Both of Jobri's ergonomic Kneeling Seat models are really designed for static body use, that is to say that the chairs are designed such that the user adjusts the height to suit their body's ergonomic needs and once comfortable would remain in a mainly static position.

As an enhancement to the deluxe Kneeling Chair there is a further version which is the F1427 and this chair includes Tempurpedic foams for both the seat and knee pads. For those users spending a lot of time at their computer desk this is definitely worth the extra investment for the additional comfort that it provides for the knee chair user.

It is likely that in the future Jobri will be adding to the range with an ergonomic Kneeling Chair that has an adjustable knee pad, this could be of interest for very tall users. If and when an adjustable knee pad version appears, we will review it.
