This is Pipersong’s “PRO” upgrade to their original meditation chair — $449.00, with 108 reviews and a 4.0★ average. It swaps the Plus model’s fixed backrest for a height-adjustable one. Here’s whether that upgrade is worth the extra $100.
Quick take: Steel frame, PU leather, height-adjustable backrest (2in of adjustment), 3.4cm thick seat cushion, 1.5in thick footrest, SGS-certified cylinder. 108 reviews at 4.0★ — rates lower than the cheaper Plus model (4.2★/115), with no confirmed Australian reviews yet.
Pipersong Meditation Chair PRO: quick specs
Build quality
One detailed review flagged a genuine build issue worth knowing about before you buy: the clamp that locks the adjustable backrest into place doesn’t grip tightly enough, and the backrest can slowly slide down under use — the reviewer, an experienced rock climber, said even they struggled to get a solid enough grip on the fastener. The same reviewer also found the seat padding “flat as a pancake” within minutes of sitting and ended up adding an aftermarket cushion. A separate reviewer reported the height-adjustment lever failed entirely after 7 months of regular use, though they were able to fix it themselves.
Comfort and posture support
Positive reviews focus on the sheer number of sitting positions available and how well it pairs with a standing desk — one reviewer said cycling between sitting and standing throughout the day noticeably reduced their slouching. On the downside, the same detailed reviewer noted the backrest overlaps the seat by 5–10cm, effectively shrinking usable seat space, though removing one screw and sliding the backrest back recovered most of that space (at the cost of slightly more flex).
Who is this best for?
This suits buyers who specifically want a height-adjustable backrest and are willing to pay $100 more and accept a slightly lower rating than the Plus model for it. If backrest adjustability isn’t a priority, the Plus is the better-reviewed, cheaper option.
Pipersong Meditation Chair PRO
$449.00 · Adjustable Backrest · Wheels · Height Adjustable
The only Pipersong model with a height-adjustable (not fixed) backrest — at a $100 premium and a slightly lower rating.
How does it compare to the Pipersong Plus?
Pipersong Meditation Chair Plus
$349.00 · Metal Frame · 115 reviews · 4.2★ · Amazon’s Choice
Cheaper, better-rated, and includes a genuine Australian review — the better default pick unless you specifically want an adjustable backrest.
How does it compare to other cross legged chairs?
Beyond its own Plus sibling, here’s how the PRO stacks up against two other options in this comparison:
Leader Cattle Ergonomic Cross Legged Chair
$383.14 · Metal Frame · 42 reviews · 4.7★
Cheaper than the PRO, rated meaningfully higher, and includes a genuine Australian review — though with a smaller review sample.
BEWISHOME Cross Legged Office Chair
$443.56 · 40% Leather / 60% Metal · 123 reviews · 4.0★
Almost identical price and rating, but with a noticeably larger review base and a space-saving retractable footrest instead of an adjustable backrest.
Which should you buy?
- Pipersong PRO (this one)if you specifically want a height-adjustable backrest.
- Pipersong Plusfor most buyers — cheaper, better-rated, and has an AU review.
- Leader Cattleif you want the highest-rated chair in this comparison for less money.
- BEWISHOMEif you’d rather have a retractable footrest and a deeper review history at a similar price.
Our verdict
The PRO’s adjustable backrest is a genuine feature upgrade, but the recurring complaint about the locking clamp slipping — plus a lower overall rating than the cheaper Plus model, and stronger-rated or better-reviewed alternatives at a similar price — means it’s only worth the $100 premium if backrest adjustability specifically matters to you. Otherwise, the Plus remains the stronger buy in the Pipersong lineup.
