HÅG Capisco review

User found the HÅG Capisco chair highly effective for reducing back pain when used to alternate between multiple postures every 20-30 minutes. Initially misunderstood its purpose, but now uses it to sit sideways, backwards, and kneeling rather than traditional sitting. The chair's design supports sitting with an unsupported lower back like a stool, with option to lean back when tired.

Pros

  • Supports multiple sitting postures including sideways, backwards, and kneeling
  • Effective for reducing back pain when used with regular position changes
  • Allows sitting with unsupported lower back like a stool with option to lean back
  • Made a huge positive difference for the user
  • Retailers often allow trial periods of a few weeks

Cons

  • Not immediately intuitive how to use it properly
  • Not for everyone
  • Initially seemed unsuitable until user understood the intended usage
