Pipersong Meditation Chair Plus Review: Worth It?

Pipersong is the brand that arguably kicked off the whole “cross-legged office chair” category — this Plus model is their most-reviewed, Amazon’s Choice listing at $349.00, with 115 reviews and a 4.2★ average. Here’s whether the hype holds up.

Quick take: Metal frame with FSC-certified wood cushion base, 17.5in wide seat with 3in high-resilience foam + 1.2in memory foam, crescent-shaped backrest with 120° lumbar support, independently-swiveling 360° footstool, height adjustable 50–60cm, 250lb/113kg weight capacity. 115 reviews at 4.2★ and an Amazon’s Choice badge — including a genuine Australian review from an AuDHD buyer, which is rare in this category.

Pipersong Meditation Chair Plus: quick specs

Build quality

Pipersong markets this as the “upgrade” version of their original meditation chair — a bigger 17.5in seat cushion, thicker memory foam layer, and a raised weight capacity to 250lbs after customer feedback that the original couldn’t hold larger users comfortably. Reviewers across multiple countries describe assembly as straightforward (around 20 minutes solo), with a sturdy steel base and SGS-certified gas lift cylinder. One UK reviewer specifically called out how “sturdy and secure” it feels once assembled, and a US reviewer noted the casters roll smoothly and quietly even on hardwood.

Comfort and posture support

This is where Pipersong’s reputation comes from. An Australian reviewer, Meg, who identifies as AuDHD, said it “keeps me from sitting on my leg for stimulation… and messing up my hips” — exactly the kind of fidget-friendly use case Pipersong built the chair around. A UK reviewer with chronic back pain said switching to this chair from a conventional one meant she could “lean back a little and stretch out” instead of sitting rigidly, and that it “forces me to engage my core more.” A Canadian reviewer flagged it’s been informally nicknamed “the ADHD chair” on social media, and praised the range of sitting positions, though noted anyone close to the 200lb range on the standard model (this Plus version raises that to 250lbs) might find the seat width tight.

Who is this best for?

This suits fidgety sitters, people with ADHD who benefit from being able to shift position constantly, and anyone with hip or lower-back pain from being stuck in a fixed seated posture. It’s less suited to tight home offices — the wide two-tier footprint needs genuine floor space, and at $349 it’s a real investment rather than an impulse buy.

How does it compare to the Pipersong PRO?

Pipersong also sells a newer “PRO” version — here’s how the two compare:

• Leader Cattleif you want the highest-rated chair in this comparison.
• VIVO Ergonomicif budget is the priority and you’re under its 100kg weight limit.

Our verdict

Pipersong effectively created this category, and the Plus model is the clearest evidence why — the deepest, oldest review history of any cross-legged chair we looked at, an Amazon’s Choice badge, and a genuine Australian review from exactly the kind of buyer (AuDHD, fidgety sitter) this chair is designed for. It’s a real investment at $349 and needs floor space, but if you want the chair that defined this category, this is it.
