Which is better for sitting cross-legged at a desk?

The Pipersong. Its patented seat and swiveling footstool are built for cross-legged, squatting and kneeling positions, and the casters let you roll up to a desk. The floor chair sits on the ground with no height adjustment.

Which holds more weight?

The Meditation Chair + Adjustable Back Support, at 385 lb versus 250 lb for the Pipersong. Check the limit if you are near 250 lb.

Which is easier to store?

The floor chair. It folds flat and weighs 3.44 kg. The Pipersong has a solid steel base and casters and does not fold.

Is the Pipersong worth the extra cost?

If you sit at a desk for hours and change positions often, yes. The lumbar backrest, thick foam seat and wheels do more than a floor cushion. For occasional meditation, the floor chair is enough.

Does either chair have armrests?

No. Both are armless, which keeps your arms free in cross-legged positions.

Which is better for fidgety sitters?

The Pipersong. Its active seating and 360-degree swivel footstool let you keep moving, which is why it is marketed as an ADHD chair. The floor chair stays still.
