QOR360 is an innovative company that specializes in designing and manufacturing ergonomic chairs aimed at promoting active sitting and improving posture. Founded by Dr. Turner Osler, a former academic surgeon and epidemiologist, QOR360 integrates principles of anatomy, biomechanics, and ergonomics to create chairs that encourage movement and support the body's natural alignment.

History[edit | edit source]

The concept of QOR360 chairs originated from Dr. Osler's research into the adverse health effects of prolonged sitting. Recognizing the limitations of traditional office chairs, which often contribute to poor posture and back pain, Dr. Osler and his team sought to develop a solution that would allow the body to maintain its natural posture while sitting. This led to the creation of the QOR360 chair, which features a unique, patented design that promotes active sitting.

Design and Features[edit | edit source]

The core innovation of QOR360 chairs is their active sitting technology, which is based on a tilting mechanism that allows the seat to move and adjust with the sitter's movements. This design encourages continuous micro-movements, engaging the core muscles and promoting better posture. Unlike conventional chairs, QOR360 chairs do not have a fixed base, which means that the sitter's body is constantly making small adjustments to maintain balance and alignment.

Key features of QOR360 chairs include:

  • Active Sitting Technology: Encourages movement and helps to reduce the risk of sitting-related health issues.
  • Ergonomic Design: Supports the body's natural posture, reducing strain on the back and neck.
  • Sustainability: Many QOR360 chairs are made from eco-friendly materials, reflecting the company's commitment to environmental sustainability.

Health Benefits[edit | edit source]

The design of QOR360 chairs is grounded in the understanding that movement is essential for health. By facilitating active sitting, these chairs can offer several health benefits, including:

  • Improved posture and spinal alignment
  • Increased core strength and stability
  • Reduced risk of back pain and other musculoskeletal disorders
  • Enhanced circulation and digestion through increased movement

Product Range[edit | edit source]

QOR360 offers a variety of chair models to cater to different needs and preferences. Each model incorporates the company's active sitting technology, but may differ in terms of materials, adjustability, and design aesthetics. The product range includes chairs suitable for office environments, home offices, and educational settings.

Conclusion[edit | edit source]

QOR360 has emerged as a leader in the field of ergonomic furniture, offering a novel solution to the problems associated with sedentary lifestyles. By promoting active sitting, QOR360 chairs contribute to better health and well-being, making them a valuable investment for anyone looking to improve their sitting habits.
