Anthros • V2
Okay, let’s get this out of the way up front—this isn’t just another cool-looking office chair. Though, yes, it is cool looking. The Anthros V2 isn’t here to win a beauty contest (though it could); it’s here to support your body in a way most chairs simply don’t. This is a chair designed by people who know what they’re doing—folks from the wheelchair, orthopedic, and physical therapy industries. People who understand sitting probably better than 99.99% of us.
And that’s why it’s different. In a sea of flashy gaming chairs and good-enough task chairs, Anthros is the one that started with health, not just aesthetics or productivity. They’re trying to fix your sit.
Designed With Your Body in Mind
Let’s talk form.
This chair is built in the United States with premium materials, and it shows. Every touchpoint feels intentional. It’s a solid, substantial piece of furniture. And despite all that, it took me less than 10 minutes to assemble. If you’ve ever spent hours building kids’ furniture or fumbling through Allen wrench marathons, you know how rare that is.
The star of the show, though, is the pelvic support system. Most ergonomic chairs just throw a cushion somewhere near your lower back and call it a day. But Anthros took their orthopedic background and applied it in a way that genuinely changes how you sit. That pelvic support is adjustable and firm—designed to keep you upright in a natural position so your lower back doesn’t collapse and your spine doesn’t end up doing weird stuff that leads to long-term issues.
As someone who deals with sciatica, that alone made a huge difference.
Function That Goes Beyond Sitting
There’s more under the hood here, too. You can tilt and recline the chair, adjusting the resistance so you’re not just slamming back or fighting to lean. There’s even a 6-degree recline lock that redistributes weight onto your back instead of just pressing down on your tailbone. It’s subtle, but powerful—helping you stay comfortable without falling asleep on the job.
One of the most clever elements is the triangular upper back design. It gives you freedom to stretch your shoulders back, which is huge if you’re like me (or my team) and spend hours editing, typing, or generally staring into the digital void.
Perks, Extras, and Posture Support
Anthros isn’t just selling you a chair—they’re helping you use it properly. The V2 includes over $350 in extras like:
A 30-day membership to MoveU
A one-on-one posture setup session with a specialist (highly recommend doing this—I learned a couple tricks I would’ve missed)
A “Fix Your Sit” guidebook
A get-out-of-pain video series
Access to a private owner’s community
It’s like buying a chair and getting a support system thrown in.
Who This Chair Is For
I once heard a quote: Spend good money on anything that goes between you and the ground. Beds, shoes, and… chairs. Especially if you sit for most of your day, the investment here makes a lot of sense.
If you work from home, game, edit video, or live inside a spreadsheet, this chair is designed for you. It looks great, feels even better, and has the kind of ergonomic design that can reduce pain and improve your long-term posture.
I’m 31, turning 32 soon, and I already deal with sciatica and knee issues. Investing in things that support my health now feels less like a splurge and more like a necessity. This chair is helping me do that.
Looks Good, Feels Better
This is Form + Function in its purest sense. You’re not sacrificing aesthetics for health—you’re getting both. And with customization options (mine’s dark with walnut backing to match my studio), you’re not stuck with a generic look. You can make it your own.
It’s worth noting Anthros backs it all up with a 60-day trial, comfort guarantee, posture guarantee, performance guarantee, and even a 12-year warranty.
That’s pretty wild.
Final Thoughts
So yeah, this is an investment. But it’s an investment in your future self—not just in a nice-looking piece of furniture. If you’re someone who sits most of the day, you owe it to your body to fix your sit. And the Anthros V2 might just be the last chair you ever need.
Giving back through the Anthros Foundation
The foundation was founded with an unwavering commitment to give back to the disabled community around the world. 100% of every dollar raised will be used to host fundraising events and/or give to organizations that serve the global wheelchair community. Not only are we committed to giving monetarily, but we will use our skills and expertise to serve and help train others to properly fit and provide this life-changing equipment. Believe it or not, there are countless countries around the world where adults and children don’t have access to the basic mobility equipment that would allow them to participate in fundamental activities of daily living. We want to contribute to changing this sad reality and have a global impact. By supporting the Anthros Foundation, and our mission, you are making the world a better place.
