Cross Legged & Criss Cross Chairs
Newtral’s criss cross chairs are designed for people who naturally sit cross-legged or change positions throughout the day. Each ergonomic cross legged chair provides an open seat area and more usable legroom than a narrow, fixed chair. The collection includes criss cross office chairs and flexible cross leg chairs for working, reading, meditation, and relaxing in a home workspace.
Who Sits Cross-Legged?
Yoga & Mindfulness Practitioners
For those used to sitting cross-legged during practice, carrying that same grounded posture into work just feels natural — and a chair that resists it can feel more disruptive than sitting on the floor.
Remote Workers Who Prefer Cross-Legged Sitting
Whether working on the sofa or at a desk, many remote workers naturally shift into comfortable positions, including curling up or folding their legs on the seat. Without the formality of a traditional office, these relaxed postures can become an everyday habit. However, most office chairs do not provide enough space for the way people actually sit.
Anyone Who Finds Traditional Chairs Restrictive
Not everyone sits cross-legged simply out of habit. For some people, it is their preferred sitting position. Narrow seats, fixed armrests, and firm seat edges can make traditional chairs feel cramped, leaving little room for an open and relaxed posture.

What Makes a Chair Better for Cross-Legged Sitting?
Wide, Open Seat Cushion
Freedom X-FP seat is designed without the narrow constraints of a traditional chair, giving your legs enough room to tuck comfortably in any direction.
No Armrests Getting in Your Way
Not every criss cross chair with arms is built the same — fixed, narrow armrests can block your legs from moving freely. Freedom X-FB are designed to stay out of the way, so the armrests support your arms without restricting your legs.
Supportive, Comfortable Cushioning
The Freedom X-PRO combines supportive cushioning with back support to help you stay comfortable as you move between cross-legged, upright, and other sitting positions.

FAQs
This content provides general comfort guidance. If you experience persistent joint or back discomfort, consider consulting a healthcare professional.
What should I look for in a chair for sitting cross legged?
Start with the seat’s actual width and depth, then check the space between the armrests. The chair should provide enough clearance to fold your legs without pressing them against hard edges.
Can I sit cross-legged in a normal office chair?
It is possible, but many standard office chairs have narrow seats or fixed armrests that restrict your legs. A cross legged office chair provides a more open seat area for this position.
Is sitting cross-legged bad for your posture?
Not inherently — Cross-legged sitting is not automatically harmful, but remaining in any one position for too long may become uncomfortable. Changing positions regularly and using appropriate back support are more important than trying to maintain one posture all day.
What is the best criss cross chair for long work sessions?
The best criss cross chair provides enough seat space, support, and flexibility to let you alternate between cross-legged, upright, and relaxed positions.
Does the Freedom X support positions besides cross-legged sitting?
Yes. The Freedom X supports multiple sitting positions, including side-sitting, curling up, relaxed sitting, and a standard upright posture.
