QOR360 The Ariel 2.0
After 30 years as a surgeon at the University of Vermont’s trauma center, Dr. Osler transitioned to a career as a research epidemiologist. This led to prolonged hours at a computer that resulted in persistent back pain despite trying various chairs. Recognizing the widespread issue of sitting-induced back pain among Americans who spend an average of nearly 10 hours a day sitting, he sought a solution that prioritized natural, comfortable, and real-time adjustments without cumbersome knobs. Failing to find such a chair, he took matters into his own hands and invented one – the QOR360 Ariel.
After selling over 8,000 Ariel chairs and noting customer feedback, QOR360 proudly presents the QOR360’s Ariel 2.0, an upgraded, award-winning chair designed for enhanced user comfort. This chair boasts a more comfortable experience with a larger, softer seat featuring thicker foam padding and a 15% wider design. You’ll experience enhanced maneuverability through uniquely designed bent metal handles at the front and sides, along with a larger back handle for grab-and-go convenience. Additionally, the improved stability with QOR360’s patented RedRocker is slightly less tippy and accommodates a greater weight capacity. QOR360’s chair is priced below most active or “ergonomic” office chairs and they offer a risk-free with a 60-day trial period. You can purchase this chair in tall and short heights, in the materials ‘Light Grey Fabric’, ‘Red Performance Leather’, ‘Black Performance Leather’, and with or without wheels. Retails for $495 – $540 at qor360.com.
