9 Best Cross-Legged Desk Chairs On Amazon | HuffPost Life

Mar 29, 2025

If you were to ask me to sit at my desk with my feet flat on the floor for an entire workday, I simply could not. And neither could a lot of people, I would assume. In fact, I’ve quickly learned from TikTok that many sedentary workers love to sit cross-legged despite the common complaint that most office chairs are not created to allow for such positional flexibility.

Many users on the app went nuts over an office chair that featured an extra-wide seat and no arm rests, allowing crossed-legged seating that’s incredibly comfortable. A quick search on Amazon would reveal that the retailer offers several office chair designs like the one on TikTok, as well as different versions that reviewers claim also allow them to sit “criss-cross applesauce.”

We rounded up some of the best reviewed options of work chairs that encourage adaptive sitting in the list ahead. You’ll find standard executive chairs with flippable arm rests, “mediative chairs” that quite literally allow for sitting in every possible way under the sun and a fuzzy clamshell-style chair just like the one seen on TikTok.

Promising Amazon reviews:I am short and often sit in desk chairs cross-legged. It's often difficult to hold that position in an office chair because the seats are not designed for that position. THIS CHAIR allows me to do that I like being able to sit cross-legged (yoga sit) while working.Promising Amazon review:The seat is extremely spacious so I'm able to sit criss cross applesauce, with my feet on the chair and both my knees tucked to my chest, and sometimes I like to sit with one leg up on the chair and the other in criss cross applesauce position. All positions are comfy!Promising Amazon review: I'm always sitting cross-legged or with one knee propped up, and this chair is perfect for that.Promising Amazon reviews:can sit with my legs 'criss-cross applesauce' with lots of room to spare on the seat.he adjustable arms allow me to sit cross legged.Promising Amazon review: Really comfortable, solid build, attractive but the best feature is the wide seat. I can criss cross my legs easily to relieve the pressure in my hips which is life changing if you’re chained to your desk sitting in meetings all day.Promising Amazon review:Promising Amazon review:The seat's ample room makes the chair so comfortable that I can even sit with my legs crossed,Promising Amazon review: I can sit cross legged or legs straight out without a problem.Promising Amazon review:Also another perk of this chair is it is wide enough for me to sit criss cross legs in my lap if I want to.
