Why Seat Height Matters More Than Style

Most outdoor chairs are designed around appearance. We design around how you move.

Lower chairs increase knee and hip flex which isn’t ideal
Soft seating absorbs energy when standing making it harder
Slightly higher seating reduces forward momentum needed making it easierArm position affects push-off stability
The right height feels secure, not perched

Fine-Tuning Your Comfort

Seat height is the foundation. But small adjustments — like foot support or cushion thickness — can subtly change how a chair feels.

When a Footstool Helps

If your feet don’t rest fully on the ground or If you choose a higher seat for easier standing. If you prefer a slightly reclined posture

A footstool improves circulation and reduces pressure behind the knees.

Cushions and Height

Thick cushions effectively raise your sitting position. Very soft foam compresses, lowering arm support. Too thick can reduce push-off leverage

Our cushions are designed with supportive foam density and controlled thickness to maintain correct arm height and standing stability.

Between Heights?

If you're unsure, we can help you decide whether a small height adjustment, cushion refinement, or foot support would provide the best balance.
