We all have to sit, so let’s sit better.

Dr. Turner Osler, a career academic trauma surgeon, founded QOR360 to “change the way the world sits,” by making active sitting fun and accessible - a simple solution towards better health.

SIT BETTER, LIVE BETTER.

We spend more time sitting than we realize - nearly 10 hours a day on average. For 80% of us, that means back pain; but for all of us, sitting all day means poor health outcomes. Sitting is designed into our lives, but how we sit is something we can change.

At QOR360, we believe that better sitting leads to better living. Active sitting isn’t just about comfort—it’s about long-term health. By keeping your body in motion, active sitting can reduce back pain, boost
metabolism, and improve overall well-being.

When sitting no longer hurts, life becomes more enjoyable.

Our mission is simple: make active sitting the new normal.

This means designing innovative chairs, educating people about the dangers of passive sitting, and making healthier sitting solutions accessible.

HOW DID WE GET HERE?

After 30 years as a surgeon, Dr. Osler transitioned to a research career, trading the operating room for long hours at a desk. Like millions of others, he found that conventional chairs left him with constant back pain. He tried every chair he could find, but none supported the movement his body needed.


His solution? Invent a better way to sit.
