FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: How do I know if my seat height is right for me?
A: To get the seat just right, place the seat cushion right under your bum and use the lever to lift
the seat until it gently raises your heels off the ground. From there, step forward on the seat
base to be in an appropriate leaning position.
Q: Where should I position my Locus Seat in relation to my desk?
A: Position your Locus Seat so you have about three fingers-width distance between your torso
(when you are using the seat) and the work surface.
Q: How do I know if my seat base is extended to the proper length for me?
A: Always aim to create a triangle between the following three points: your feet, your seat and
the base of the seat post. Your feet should be able to rest comfortably on the angled portion
of the platform without feeling cramped [too short] or strained [too long]. Keep your legs
straight, and your knees “soft” – it’s a good idea to bend your knees gently once in awhile to
ensure you’re not over-flexing your joints, and to keep blood flowing.
Q: It’s been two weeks, and I’m still not comfortable.
A: You’ve spent a lifetime sitting. Upright working may be tiring at first. Hang in there and give
it another two weeks of adjusting – it can take about a month to adjust to this new way of
working.
Q: My seat is uncomfortable. What can I do about it?
A: Try moving more. Feeling discomfort is your body’s way of signalling you to move. Try standing
a while. If you have achy feet, lower your seat, inch up the platform and ease into a deep lean.
