Key Benefits of the Wellback Kneeler
- Improves posture by keeping the spine naturally aligned in its elongated 'S' shape.
- Reduces lower-back strain so you can sit with less pain. The back-thigh angle of approximately 110 degrees 'opens' the pelvis and reduces strain in the lower back.
- Boosts focus & energy through active sitting.
- Lightweight & mobile — easy to move between desks.
- Durable design with steel frame and moulded foam for enhanced comfort.
- Made in South Africa. Trusted Karo ergonomic design since 1986.
Frequently Asked Questions about the Kneeler
Can the Kneeler replace my normal office chair?
The Wellback Kneeler is designed to complement your main chair. Use it for short periods to activate core muscles and improve posture.
Is it uncomfortable on the knees?
Some initial pressure is normal. Adjust the pads and start with short sessions. Your body needs to rebuild the core muscles in your lower back, which might have weakened from sitting on a conventional chair. Give yourself time to adjust and you’ll soon enjoy the benefits of improved posture and reduced back strain!
Who should avoid this chair?
If you have serious knee problems, consult your medical professional before using the Wellback Kneeling Chair.
What if it doesn't work for me?
In the rare instances where the Wellback Kneeler does not suit you, simply return to us within 14 days of purchase for a full refund – no questions asked. See our Returns Policy for details.

Very good and professionalPosted on Busenati Mwati11/03/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was a bit hesitant to buy an office chair online without trying it first, but my experience with Karo has completely exceeded my expectations. I received my OrthoMax Orthopedic Chair just over a week ago, and honestly, it's been a game-changer for my posture and comfort. However, what really made this a 10/10 experience was the process. The website made purchasing easy, and true to their word, the chair arrived fully assembled — no struggling with screws and manuals! I also had a few specific questions before buying, so I reached out via WhatsApp. Their sales support was absolutely brilliant; they addressed every query thoroughly and made me feel confident in my choice. I couldn't be any happier with my purchase. If you're on the fence, go for it. Amazing product and top-tier service.Posted on Yolandi Rabie11/03/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Would Really recommend Karo. The desk was delivered quickly and effortlessly. The desk is really good quality and I enjoy it’s pre set settings.Posted on Yushir Maharaj10/03/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently bought the Fenix Ergonomic Office Chair and I’m very happy with it. After using it for daily work at my desk, it’s been comfortable from day one and works great for long hours. The adjustable lumbar support and armrests make a big difference, and the mesh back feels strong and supportive when leaning back. Delivery was smooth and easy and the chair arrived fully assembled, so it was just a matter of removing the packaging and using it right away. Instructions were clear and included a helpful YouTube guide for the adjustments. Customer service was excellent and communication throughout the process was clear and professional. Overall a great chair and a great buying experience from Karo. Highly recommended.Posted on Kim van Schoor09/03/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Posted on Kyle van Niekerk09/03/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. One of the best experiences I have ever had buying a product online ever.

Very good
Mariè Ueckermann –
Very comfortable. Soft cushions, looks well made and neat as compared to other similar products.
It can do with one more setting to enable you to shift a little more onto your knees.
