sitBoard is the world´s first chair-connected footrest that helps you stay in an upright sitting position all day long. Just connect your chair, adjust to your size, and sit healthy.
The secret of upright sitting is the special sitBoard base that connects you to your chair. This constant link between board and chair improves your posture all day long and makes the sitBoard unique worldwide.
Basic footrests cause frequent sliding and are only useful to rest your legs.
In everyday life, gravity naturally pulls us down. Results are a distorted spine and unhealthy posture. Bad posture has a dramatic effect on your health: Over time, it can affect your spine, shoulders, hips and knees - leading to back and joint pain, compromised muscles, decreasing flexibility, and even nerve constriction.
Never sit wrong again with the sitBoard Boost Effect! This effect pushes you into the perfect posture. Just put your feet on the multi-grip board and you will stay in an upright sitting position - permanently.
We believe that sitting should be something to enjoy. With sitBoard, you can get fit while you sit: Intuitive leg movement activates your entire body, maximizes your concentration and increases your capabilities.
1. Connect your chair to the small ramp.
2. Move the board to adjust to your size.
3. Push your back into the best position.
4. And stay fit by moving your legs!
Our vision has always been to create an ergonomic solution that is functional, sleek and simple. We want to help you sit healthy - that's why the intuitive, ultra-light design is making the usage as easy as possible for you.
Including the board and the base in soft grey, the sitBoard solution fits into every workplace.
sitBoard is a one-size-fits-all solution that can be combined with any office chair. With anti-scratching material and special layering to ensure a non-slip surface, suitable for all floor types.
With the expertise of our partners, we have developed a product that meets all requirements to enable healthy and vital sitting.
With their expertise in health management, design and entrepreneurship, the three founders teamed up to realize their vision. Months of development built the foundation of sitBoard.

Our trusted manufacturing partner needs a minimum financial commitment from us to get started on a larger manufacturing run. This is why we have set our funding goal to 50.000€. By hitting this funding goal, we are able to put in a larger order to our manufacturing partners, hence enabling us to serve the exact customer demand.
Risks and challenges
Since the very beginning of this project, we have been working hard on the development of sitBoard.
We have found a trusted, renowned manufacturing partner who is ready to start with the sitBoard production in November. However, he needs a minimum financial commitment from us to get started on a larger manufacturing run.
