Varier Thatsit balans review

User has been using a Varier Balans for years and loves it, but tried the Thatsit seeking a backrest option. The Thatsit's flatter seat and non-fixed knee pads caused constant knee and hip flexor pain, and the backrest did not reduce back pain (possibly made it worse). User is considering returning to the original Balans.

Pros

  • Backrest is lovely for reclining gently during calls

Cons

  • Flatter seat and non-fixed knee pads cause constant knee and hip flexor pain
  • Backrest does not actually reduce back pain and may worsen it
  • Does not work well with user's body geometry
