Premium Ergonomic Office Chair Designed for Little People & Petite Adults

The Sitmatic Little Person Chair with Adjustable Footbar is the ultimate ergonomic seating solution specifically engineered for petite users, short adults, and individuals with dwarfism. Unlike standard office chairs that leave shorter users with dangling feet and poor posture, this chair delivers proper ergonomic support tailored to your proportions.

Why Little Person Chair Transforms Ergonomics for Petite Users

• Designed for 5'0" and Under: Every dimension proportionally scaled for petite users—not just a smaller version of standard chairs, but engineered specifically for shorter stature ergonomics
• Adjustable Integrated Footbar – Provides essential leg support and proper circulation for users under 5'4"
• Adjustable Integrated Footbar – Built-in footbar footrest eliminates dangling feet that cause circulation issues, leg numbness, and poor posture in standard chairs. Provides essential leg support and proper circulation for users under 5'4". the bar angle adjusts in 9 different angles over a 90 degree range and depth adjusts n7 different settings over a 3" range. The generous 14" steel bar give you ample room for your feet to rest.
• Reduced Seat Depth (15-17"): Shorter seat depth allows proper back support without cutting off circulation behind knees—standard chairs are too deep for petite users and customized to fit the needs of each individual user.
• Lower Seat Height Range (14-18"): Adjusts low enough for feet to reach floor or footbar comfortably—standard chairs don't go low enough for petite users
• Lifetime Warranty: Sitmatic's legendary lifetime warranty on frame, mechanism, and gas cylinder—the only chair manufacturer offering this level of confidence
• Made in USA – Premium craftsmanship and quality material

Clinical Benefits for Petite Users

Standard office chairs are designed for users 5'4" to 6'2", forcing petite users into poor ergonomic positioning that causes chronic pain, circulation issues, and fatigue. When petite users sit in standard chairs, their feet dangle (causing leg numbness and circulation problems), the seat depth is too long (cutting off circulation behind knees), and the backrest is too high (providing no lumbar support). The Little Person Chair eliminates these problems with proportional dimensions that provide proper ergonomic support for shorter stature users—feet rest comfortably on footbar, seat depth supports thighs without cutting circulation, and backrest provides lumbar support at correct height.

Trusted by Ergonomic Professionals & ADA Compliance

Recommended by certified ergonomists and occupational health specialists for petite users, little people, and anyone under 5'0" experiencing ergonomic issues with standard office chairs. The Little Person Chair meets ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) requirements for workplace accommodations, making it the standard solution for employers providing ergonomic seating for petite employees.

Who It's Built For

Essential for office workers, students, and professionals under 5'0" who experience dangling feet, leg numbness, circulation issues, or poor posture in standard office chairs. Ideal for little people (dwarfism), petite women, youth transitioning to adult workstations, or anyone whose feet don't reach the floor in standard chairs.

Integrated Adjustable Footbar - Critical for Petite Users

The built-in footbar is the most important feature for petite users. When feet dangle in standard chairs:

• Circulation Problems: Pressure on underside of thighs restricts blood flow, causing leg numbness and swelling
• Poor Posture: Dangling feet force slouching to reach floor, causing lower back pain
• Leg Fatigue: Unsupported legs create muscle tension and fatigue
• Reduced Stability: No foot support makes it difficult to maintain proper sitting position

The adjustable footbar eliminates these problems by providing stable foot support at the correct height for your leg length. Adjust footbar height and angle for optimal comfort and circulation.

Reduced Seat Depth - Prevents Circulation Issues

Standard chairs have 18-20 inch seat depth designed for average-height users. For petite users, this excessive depth:

• Cuts Off Circulation: Seat edge presses behind knees, restricting blood flow
• Prevents Back Support: Must sit forward to avoid knee pressure, losing lumbar support
• Causes Discomfort: Constant pressure behind knees creates pain and numbness

The Little Person Chair's 15-17 inch adjustable seat depth allows proper back support without cutting circulation behind knees—the seat edge stops before the back of your knees, allowing comfortable sitting with full lumbar support.

Lower Seat Height Range - Feet Reach Floor or Footbar

Standard chairs adjust from 17-21 inches—too high for petite users even at lowest setting. The Little Person Chair adjusts from 14-18 inches, allowing:

• Feet on Floor: Very petite users can reach floor at lowest setting
• Feet on Footbar: Slightly taller petite users use footbar at comfortable height
• Proper Knee Angle: Knees at 90° angles with feet supported—optimal ergonomic position
• Stable Positioning: Proper foot support allows maintaining correct posture

Proportional Backrest & Lumbar Support

Standard chair backrests are designed for average torso length, placing lumbar support too high for petite users. The Little Person Chair features proportionally scaled backrest with adjustable lumbar support that positions correctly for shorter torso length, providing proper lower back support at the right height.

Adjustment Guide for Optimal Ergonomics

Seat Height: Adjust so thighs are parallel to floor when feet rest on footbar or floor. Knees should be at 90° angles.

Seat Depth: Adjust so 2-3 inches of space between seat edge and back of knees. You should sit fully back against lumbar support without pressure behind knees.

Footbar: Adjust height so feet rest comfortably flat on footbar with knees at 90° angles. Adjust angle for comfort.

Lumbar Support: Position lumbar support at your lower back curve (typically at belt line). Adjust depth for comfortable pressure.

Armrests: Adjust height so shoulders are relaxed (not elevated) when forearms rest on armrests at 90° elbow angles.

Memory Foam Seat Cushion

Premium memory foam seat cushion conforms to your body, distributing pressure evenly and preventing the discomfort and numbness from prolonged sitting. The memory foam maintains supportive properties through years of daily use without compression or sagging.

Synchro-Tilt Mechanism

The synchro-tilt mechanism allows backrest and seat to recline together in proper ratio, maintaining optimal body angles during recline. Tension adjustment accommodates lighter body weight of petite users—standard chairs often have too much tension for petite users to recline comfortably.

Why Little Person Chair vs. Standard Chair + Footrest

Choose Little Person Chair if you: Are 5'0" or under, experience dangling feet in standard chairs, have circulation issues or leg numbness from seat depth, need proportional dimensions for proper ergonomic support, want integrated footbar solution, require ADA-compliant accommodation.

Standard Chair + Footrest if you: Are 5'1" to 5'4" (borderline petite), only need foot support (not seat depth reduction), want lower cost solution, don't need proportional backrest scaling.

ADA Compliance & Workplace Accommodations

The Little Person Chair meets ADA requirements for reasonable workplace accommodations for employees with dwarfism or petite stature. Employers providing this chair demonstrate compliance with disability accommodation laws while ensuring employee comfort, productivity, and health. The chair qualifies for workplace ergonomic accommodation budgets and disability services funding.

Custom Configuration Options

The Little Person Chair is custom-built to order with options for:

• Back Style: Breathable mesh or upholstered fabric
• Upholstery Color: Multiple fabric colors available
• Armrest Style: Fixed height, height-adjustable, or 4D adjustable
• Caster Type: Carpet casters or hard floor casters
• Headrest: Optional adjustable headrest for additional support

Assembly & Setup

Minimal assembly required—attach seat to base, insert gas cylinder, and adjust components to your dimensions (approximately 15 minutes). Detailed instructions included with proportional adjustment guidelines for petite users. Professional assembly available through ergonomic consultants.

Maintenance & Care

Wipe upholstery with damp cloth to remove debris. Vacuum mesh back periodically. Check casters and remove debris for smooth rolling. Periodically check adjustment mechanisms and tighten if needed.
