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

The Pipersong. It is height-adjustable, has casters and a swivel footstool, so you can sit cross-legged at a normal desk. The Back Jack sits on the floor and is too low for desk work.

Which is better for meditation?

The Back Jack is purpose-built for floor meditation and folds flat. The Pipersong also supports cross-legged and kneeling positions, but it is a larger chair meant for a room, not a mat.

The Pipersong has a steel base, a certified gas cylinder and heavy-duty casters, so it should hold up to daily desk use. The Back Jack is foam and cotton and will compress with heavy use.

Is the Pipersong worth the extra cost?

If you will use it daily at a desk, yes. The adjustable height, wheels and thicker cushion do things the Back Jack cannot. For occasional floor sitting, the Back Jack is enough.

Can the Back Jack be used as a normal chair?

No. It is a floor seat with no legs, wheels or height adjustment. It works for low seating, meditation, TV and guests.

Does the Pipersong fit under a standard desk?

The seat height is adjustable and the footstool swivels aside, so it fits most desks. Check your desk clearance against the chair's base and footstool size before buying.
