We get this question a lot.


People see the Movably Pro in action — its smart prompts, its ease of movement, its sleek design — and they ask:

“Does it work at regular sitting height?”


Here’s the honest answer:

No. And that’s exactly the point.



Why "regular sitting height" is part of the problem


Traditional sitting — fixed, static, and low — is what created the sitting disease in the first place. Regular chairs plant your body in one position, anchoring your hips, locking your spine, and cutting off circulation. Stay there too long, and you start feeling the toll: back pain, hip stiffness, mental fatigue, even metabolic issues.


What we’ve learned is this:

The problem isn’t just sitting. It’s staying still.


That’s where the Movably Pro changes everything.



A smart chair — made to move at standing height


The Movably Pro is designed for movement — and that movement happens at standing desk height. Why? Because that’s the only position where you can shift postures frequently without disrupting your relationship to your desk.


By working above traditional sitting height, your body stays upright, aligned, and ready to transition — from seated to semi-standing to fully upright — with minimal effort and zero distraction. No adjusting desk height. No pausing your workflow. Just subtle, supported movement that happens naturally throughout the day.


Think of it like this: your monitor, keyboard, and arms stay right where they are — and you move fluidly through a spectrum of healthy postures, without interrupting focus.


A quick story: Meet Alex, the skeptic turned believer


Alex works in IT. Long hours at the screen, troubleshooting, coding, problem-solving. When his HR team offered him a Movably Pro, his first reaction was skeptical:

“Wait — this doesn’t go all the way down? What if I want to just sit?”

But after a week, he noticed something unexpected. He was transitioning between postures all day — leaning back, half-standing, subtly rocking — all without leaving his zone of focus.

“It felt like I was still sitting, but I wasn’t stuck. I didn’t get up sore. And I didn’t even think about moving — it just happened.”

And that’s exactly the point.


So no, it doesn’t work at regular sitting height. It works better.


Because it keeps you from being stuck in the very position that causes harm.


By operating at standing desk height, the Movably Pro enables natural, continuous movement that protects your spine, engages your muscles, and keeps your mind sharp — all without disrupting your work.


Want to help your team stay focused and healthy — without needing them to rethink how they work?


Give them a chair that works with their body. Not against it.
