From design to manufacturing to finish and beyond, our products repeatedly prove to be best in class, setting the bar for innovation, comfort, and quality. The latest offering from Neutral Posture is the Ntune Seating System, the "office furniture that fights fat". Mark E. Benden, PhD, CPE, leading ergonomic researcher and author of "Could You Stand To Lose? Weight Loss Secrets for Office Workers" developed the N•tune Seating System to integrate the chair/stool design with the storage and layout potential of systems furniture for the home or office. The N•tune concept is all about raising desk heights from 30" up to 40" and then raising the chair, to stool height, allowing users to easily and freely stand up to work when needed. The key to making this system work is the platform on the chair that allows for easy transition from sitting to standing and vice versa. By incorporating standing breaks we also unknowingly expend more energy (i.e. burn calories). "Just by standing for 2 hours throughout an average workday, you can burn 280 extra calories," says Dr. Benden. "In one year, that can amount to roughly 20 pounds." Results vary depending on body shape and metabolism, but even in the simplest case, assures Benden, "everyone could stand to lose with this technique."
