USING YOUR MOBIS® II SEAT
The Mobis® II may look similar to your neighborhood bar stool, but this seat
has quite a few tricks up its sleeve.
The Mobis® II is built to move with you, so as you lean to the left and right,
you’ll feel the seat move too. And that height-adjustment lever under the
seat? It’s your new best friend. Whenever you feel the need to change
positions, you can use the lever to make micro-adjustments.
Follow our instructions below for getting set up with your Mobis® II. Then,
check out the posture guide for the Do’s and Don’ts of Mobis® II postures.
1. Position Your Seat
Position your seat about where you would place a tall stool — close enough to the table
that you can reach things easily, but not so close that the table is digging into your stomach.
2. Adjust the Height
Lean into or perch on top of the seat cushion so the seat hits at the top of the back of
your thigh, right under your bum. Using the levers on the side, you can adjust the seat
height. Pushing your weight into the seat will decrease the height, and letting up on your
weight will increase the height.
3. Adjust Your Body
Rather than sitting on the Mobis® II seat, picture yourself using a tipped-forward bar stool.
Once you’re squarely positioned on the seat pan, bend your knees slightly; then, shift your
weight from side to side. The seat will be angled underneath you, whereas the bar stool
would feel unstable, the Mobis® II will stay where it is. This gives you the stability to stay
upright, the flexibility to move to the left, right, forward and back as you need.
