Hunkerin Stool LLC ReviewsSee store reviews

After many years in the army, running, jumping out of airplanes, overseas tours and everything in between... I live with pain, and have many tools to deal with it. The Hunkering stool just became one of my go to tools. Now praticing Tai Chi, yoga, and barefoot running.. I know I have a weak core and bad knees. Not a great combination. Just in the two weeks I've been using this stool, I've noticed how much flexible I am during the day, or yoga or whatever I'm doing. I can't wait to buy another fo...

Kasey: I'm lovin' my Hunkerin' Stool. I'm a banged up 60-something with a history of a broken back and subsequent spinal fusion T9, 10 & 11 with the obligatory advancing osteoarthritis that one can expect following trauma, aging, etc. I also blew a knee skiing some years ago and went through ACL repair which talks to me now and again as well. I'm impressed at the relief the Hunkerin Stool provides in my back, pelvis, hips, knees and even feet and ankles. It's a brilliant little home therapy ...

I struggled putting it together; could have been my fault. I'm not really sure, but I couldn't get the springs to seat in the groove. However, they squared me away almost immediately and even helped me out some. The customer service is spectacular. No worries, if you have a problem, just let him know. As for the stool, I'm sitting on it in my office at work, while I write this review. All of the pressure from the office chair on my back is gone. I'm actually more comfortable down here and my...

I honestly didn’t think I’d like The Hunkering Stool — it looked a little too unconventional at first — but I was totally wrong. It’s sturdy, well-made, and makes getting into a deep squat feel natural and relaxing. I use it for stretching, reading, or just taking a mindful break, and it’s done wonders for my posture and hip mobility. Even my 80-year-old mom tried it and loved it! She said it was easier to use than she expected. Highly recommend to anyone curious about healthier, more natural si...

The Hunkering Stool has been a tremendous help with my lower back and hip pain. I sit at a desk all day, and it has wreaked my back. Even though I do squats at the gym, and periodically sit it a squat position on the floor, it’s not enough to help my lower back pain. The Hunkering Stool, especially with the seat cushion, allows me to squat in comfort! 5-10 minutes and my lower back and hip pain are gone! The more I sit on the stool, the better it gets. I cannot recommend the Hunkering Stool more...

I’m 71 years old and been teaching Pilates for 30 years plus. I had the cartilage removed from my right knee when I was 25 years old. I’ve kept all the ligaments in my knees strong that I never had to have a knee replacement. Over the years I developed a calcium ball in the back of my right knee which interfered with deep flexion of the knee. Deep squats became impossible five years ago. Right hip and back became problematic in the last several years. My Power Plate gave me much needed stab...

I really like the stool. It’s just that after 10,15,20 mins. Your rump starts to get sore. Too flat of a hard seat. Maybe with a slightly 3 corner concave design into the top piece, which would have to be a little thicker wood to allow for the concave, would help. But that’s up to you. It’s your stool. I know you have the new fitted pad, but maybe some people like me would just like the natural wood look. But all in all I really like the stool. Plus the concave would have to be tested. I love th...

I’m 50 and I’m still active with lifting weights and playing recreational soccer. I’ve been using the stool to help with leg conditioning and mobility. I don’t need to do loaded ATG squats, but when doing squats, the stool is great. I used to box squats, but then wanted something more comfortable and used a medicine ball instead of a box to get more range of motion and a softer indicator once I reached the proper depth. The stool is has replaced the medicine ball. Getting the spring at the bo...

When I first saw this I thought that no assistance to squatting was needed. I myself was practicing a resting squat and getting pretty good at it. I even commented on it once because I had been doing the resting squat unassisted. But I became intrigued by its design and functionality and thought I would have to give this thing a try. And I did. Happy that I did. I really like it though I’m still trying to achieve and master non assisted. But this definitely helps and is nice to be able to squat ...

I was really skeptical on this before I pulled the trigger but after getting it I have never felt so much relief from head to toe, literally. Having a herniated cervical disc and fractured thoracic for 11 years and currently recovering from an ACL reconstruction I get so much relief in just a few minutes it's unreal. My partner at work suffers from sciatica pain and within minutes of sitting he was the most pain free he has been in years and plans to purchase his own soon. I keep this in my work...
