How Clark Beat Neuropathy and Returned to Work in Informatics with a Zero Gravity Workstation 0b-XL
|
Thanks to ErgoQuest, I’m able to work again, and for almost two years now. December 2021, I acquired neuropathic vasculitus, where my white blood cells relentlessly attack the arteries that feed my nerves, especially those in my legs, feet and hands. Both the vasculitus and the resulting neuropathy are painful, especially when my feet are not elevated. Without this workstation, which includes video-conferencing setup, I would not be able to perform a full-time (fully remote) job as co-director of Informatics. I wish I would have known about ErgoQuest over a decade earlier. In 2016, I had a right vertebral artery dissection and subsequent stroke, triggered by craning my neck while programming for long hours. Even before then, I would have appreciated this workstation as it supports my neck and back comfortably. Perhaps with proper ergonomic support, I could have avoided that earlier medical incident.
I have a modified ZGW-0b-XL workstation. At less than 10k, it is a bargain. The ErgoQuest team is a pleasure to work with and extremely helpful. They also support their product, for me two years out. So that my monitor and keyboard could be at varying distances (sitting vs inclined vs fully-reclined), they provided an upgrade with second mast. They also helped me construct a working environment. The custom arms have a 1/4″-20 screw welded, letting me add various attachments for iPad/iPhone or camera setup. The monitor itself has an attached flash bracket, letting me install a microphone and camera for recording training videos. While I prefer to be horizontal most of the time for internal meetings, every once in a while, it’s best to present as fully upright. It takes only a few moments to adjust the chair and keyboard, letting me put my legs where they need to be depending upon pain levels. The keyboard tray is lovely, especially with a split keyboard. Overall, it works for me, beyond my initial expectations. Thank you so much. |
How Rich Beat Hip Pain and Returned to Work in Software Architecture with a Zero Gravity Workstation 0
|
Several years ago, while working out, I severely strained my left hip muscle. I saw a chiropractor, an orthopedic surgeon, and finally a doctor who gave me occasional shots to the affected area to relieve the pain. I decided not to do more shots, so I was referred to a physical therapist. The therapist worked with me for several months, and the pain slowly subsided. Yet even though I was using an expensive ergonomic chair, I could not sit for long without experiencing pain.
I searched online for a workstation that would enable me to better distribute my weight while I worked eight hours a day as a software architect. I found an ErgoQuest workstation (the Zero Gravity Workstation 0) that appeared to be a good fit. I emailed the owner several times and he was responsive and told me he could have my workstation completed, delivered, and set up in a very timely manner. The individual that set up my workstation got up early, drove to my residence in Cincinnati, Ohio, and set up my work station within a couple of hours. My ErgoQuest workstation has enabled me to continue to be employed in my profession, which entails sitting for many hours at a time. It has enabled me to stay totally pain free by providing the support to my back, hip, and legs that I need to sit for extended periods of time. |
How Jess Beat Back Pain with the Zero Gravity Workstation 0b
I have been living with a sacrum fracture for now over a year. Sitting in a chair was very uncomfortable. I had to use a donut cushion but even with it, I would have pain around my sacrum fracture. I consulted a physical medicine rehab doctor who suggested I invest in a working station that I could recline and not put direct pressure on my lower back/buttocks. I searched online for the best solution. ErgoQuest was one of the few companies who made such workstations.
The 0b workstation works like a charm. It takes all the pressure off my sacrum and distributes it evenly across my body. I feel for once, I can work without suffering body pain. It makes my work way more productive and efficient. Also the workstation 0b is a tank. Jeff did a good job with the design and ease of installation. I was able to install it on my own. Thank you for creating this workstation. I'm super happy.

How David Beat Lower Back, Knee, and Foot Pain with the Zero Gravity Workstation 0b-XL
|
I had used a standing desk because of lower back strain (L5 vertebrae) due to sitting all day, then added a treadmill because of resulting foot and leg strain from standing all day, but then that led to other movement issues.
After I bought an ErgoQuest Workstation I was able to work several additional years in total comfort instead of retiring early. Highly recommended, and it easily paid for itself. |

How Martin Beat Pelvis Pain with a Zero Gravity Workstation 0b
I got pain in my pelvis when I had to sit for long periods of time. This was mainly a problem because I have an office job. That's why I couldn't work full-time for a few months.
The workstation helped me a lot to get back into my job. In particular, the mixture of lying, sitting and standing had a very positive effect on my pain problems. Fortunately, my pain problems have reduced to such an extent over 1-2 years that I am no longer dependent on the workstation and have finally sold it again. However, it helped me a lot during the transition period.

How Dr. Ravi Saved His Radiology Career with a Zero Gravity Workstation 0b-XL
|
I had to have back surgery about a year ago, and I found that because of my chronic back problems and disc herniations that I was unable to sit and do my job for 8 hours and 90 degrees [position] in a regular chair. I thought about getting a standing chair but I had also torn my left knee ACL and I couldn’t stand for more than an hour at a time. And so I thought, 'Man, how am I going to continue my career if I can’t sit and I can’t stand to read my images?'
And then I found this [the 0b-XL workstation] which allows radiologists to read in any position including lying down recumbently. And you can position the chair, position the monitors, in any position that you’re physically able to and continue to read your imaging studies. It’s helpful for anyone who has had surgery and has mobility problems, anyone who has difficulty sitting in 90 degree [position]. |

How Bettie Beat Ehlers Danlos with a Zero Gravity Workstation 0b
|
Working with ErgoQuest has drastically changed my work life! I used to only work part time due to spinal and hip pain caused by Ehlers Danlos and frequent syncope from Dysautonomia. I can now comfortably work for hours without any pain, dislocated joints, or fainting. The ordering process was super easy, and modifications to make my workstation wheelchair transfer accessible were simple. I tried many one size fits all zero gravity chairs and workstations that that didn't work for me. These options were often hard to customize, and the one size fits all models were often double the price of a custom ErgoQuest workstation. Throughout the process, it was great to work with a real person who could address your accessibility needs and questions; Jeff was spectacular! He walked me through the whole process asked all the right questions to get me into a workstation that worked best for me and my work space. The fact they are made to order and body dimensions makes a phenomenal difference. The options to customize colors, materials, added lighting, changing desk shape, and selecting accessories such as; side tables, laptop trays, copy trays, and adding on counter weight options feels like a luxury experience in the current one-size-fits-all home office industry.
My workstation has even made my life outside of work more enjoyable. Now that my body and nervous system don't have to work so hard just keeping me upright I can spend my days off doing the things I love instead of recovering from the week's work. I miss less work, I'm more productive while I'm at work and, I have more time unhindered by my disability symptoms associated with sitting at a desk 40 hours a week. |
How Emily Beat Back Pain with a Zero Gravity Workstation Ultimate
|
I'm The Crypto Recruiter, and I've been in business for the last six years, twelve hours a day, working until my back kills. I have very serious chronic pain in my back. This is something that I've struggled with for my entire life. The last six years are when I've really struggled. I put on a lot of weight because I don't really move throughout the day. I have taken pain pills, I have bought seat cushions, ergonomic chairs, everything you could possibly think of. I actually spent $800 on a Herman Miller chair -- it did nothing for me! It wasn't until I met ErgoQuest that I was able to work the way I needed to without any pain.
What really stood out to me about ErgoQuest was their customer service. I did a lot of research into their competitors; they didn't have that personalized support, that hands-on feedback. They weren't able to customize the chair to my specific size. I needed something a little wider because I like to cross my legs. I needed something a little bit bigger. No other company had the customization I needed for my workstation. I decided to go with the Zero Gravity Workstation Ultimate for a couple reasons. One, I've got three 32 inch monitors. Two, I don't have to reach or pull; there's a button that does it for me, so when I do lay down, the screens actually come closer to my face so it's the same distance sitting up or laying down. I do a lot of live-streaming. Every time I'm on a Zoom, I get the "WOW, what is that?!" and that kind of visual credibility and novelty really goes a long way when it comes to my clients. |

How Vivekanandh Beat Spinal Cord Issues with a Zero Gravity Workstation 0c Lift
I suffer from chronic spinal cord issues, and finding a chair that offers real relief has been a long and frustrating journey—until I discovered the Ergo Quest Zero Gravity Chair. This chair has been nothing short of life-changing for me. The zero gravity position significantly reduces pressure on my spine, allowing me to sit and rest without aggravating my condition. Without it, I would still be struggling daily with pain and discomfort. The support it provides is exceptional, and I genuinely feel the difference in my posture and pain levels. Thank you for creating such a thoughtful and effective product!
How Mara Beat Back Issues with a Zero Gravity Workstation 7
I got this workstation when I started having a lot of back issues and was having a hard time at work. My back would lock while sitting and I was having a hard time standing up from my desk without using my cube wall for support. I was also told I was already experiencing degenerative disc disease as well as something called facet hypertrophy. The doctor recommended a zero gravity workstation so I started looking into them. The Ergoquest Workstation 7 is the one that I decided upon and I couldn't be happier. This workstation is very very sturdy and well built. I have moved 3 times since I got it and was able to take it apart and put it back together with no issues. My back pain is significantly better and I can make it through my full day at work with no issues. Highly recommend!! Also, this is a really cool gaming chair as well. I swap out my work laptop for personal and use it at night as well.
How Kate Beat a Back Injury with a Zero Gravity Chair 4a
I have nothing but positive things to say about Jeff, ErgoQuest, and the Zero Gravity Chair 4a. It got me back to work faster than anyone thought possible after a gnarly injury (back + pelvis + femur), and it kept me as comfortable as possible, which certainly led to faster, better healing. Jeff was incredibly supportive and helpful with careful instructions for assembly and great communication around shipping.
How Tom Beat Back Pain with a Zero Gravity Workstation 11
The workstation works flawlessly. It has saved my career and my back, and the build quality is fantastic. I mostly work on it in the reclined position, but I occasionally use it standing up. Either way it works great. Thanks for building such a great product. It will probably be around longer than me.

To a disabled person that means the world!
How Catherine Returned to Work Writing Science Curriculum After Another Surgery with a Zero Gravity Chair 1a
I wanted to tell you that my new chair has made a world of difference for me when I’m working on my computer. I really thought I’d have to stop working on my computer because of health issues, but I can work all day in total comfort thanks to your amazing chair.
I ended up having more unexpected surgery this year and the chair has kept my spirits up because I can be useful again. Writing science curriculum is a major source of income for me and knowing I’m able to work again gives me something to look forward to every day. :)
This is my teacher website so you can see what I work on again thanks to you:

How Aday Became an Author with a Zero Gravity Workstation 5
In 2002 I purchased a work station (At the time I think it was the 500 model) from you. It has been a lifesaver. It's the best purchase I have ever made. I am a ventilator-dependent quadriplegic. I am confined for weeks at a time to bed. I was going crazy with boredom prior to purchasing your work station.
The work station has allowed me to take 16 online writing classes and spend upwards of 10 hours a day on my computer. Thanks, in part, to this incredible tool, I will be a published picture book author in 2010 with four more, under publishing contracts, to follow.

Highly recommend to anyone looking for something unique and built to last!
How Tetzu Used a Zero Gravity Chair 2a for 10 Years (and Counting)
I purchased my Zero Gravity chair over 10 years ago, and it has exceeded every expectation I had. Designed for reading, studying, and working on a laptop or tablet, this chair offers two essential adjustable movements: tilt and leg elevation. These features allow you to find the perfect ergonomic position without straining your back or neck.
What truly amazes me is the durability and comfort. After countless hours of use—sometimes daily for hours on end—I’ve never had to replace the cushions or padding. The upholstery has held up incredibly well, showing virtually no signs of wear, sagging, or tearing. It still looks and feels as good as the day I bought it.
This chair has been a reliable companion for work and leisure. Whether you're reading a book or typing on your laptop, it provides unmatched comfort and support. It’s a rare example of a product that lives up to its promise year after year.
If you're considering a Zero Gravity chair for productivity or relaxation, I can’t recommend it enough. It’s truly an investment in comfort and longevity.

How Daria Beat Rheumatoid Arthritis with a Zero Gravity Chair 1b
This chair has saved me and given me back, neck and knee pain relief from my rheumatoid arthritis and a failed cervical fusion when nothing else worked. I don't know how I managed without it.
Also after 20 years on disability, with Zoom and this chair I am going back to work in my own small online business. I could not have done this without this chair.
Please never retire; it's a lifesaver for me.

How Marko Beat Disc Disorders & Osteoarthritis with a Zero Gravity Workstation 0b
I suffered from lower back pain and neuralgic pain in left leg for several years, and because of that I was unable to do my job as an HVAC designer. I tried many different solutions for my back problems, such as massage, new bed, rehabilitation, surgery etc. None of them restored my ability to work. However, I noticed that lying on my back is restorative and painless for me, so I started wondering if there was a workstation on the market where I could do my work while lying down. I started looking for a suitable product on the internet and found ErgoQuest's website, where the products presented began to interest me. I considered purchasing it for a long time and tried to get financing for it. I also got to try out one of ErgoQuest's products that I found by chance in the local area. I found the product to be of high quality and ergonomically suitable and ordered the product. After using the product, I was able to return to work at 50% of my working hours. This significantly improved my income and allowed me to regain meaningful work and a social life at work.

How Susan Overcame Spinal Issues with an Overbed Workstation
Because of the overbed workstation that you made me, I was able to continue to work. I became disabled due to spinal issues because I could not sit for prolonged time periods. My work involved 100% computer work. If not for your workstation, I would have had to go on disability. Instead, I was able to continue to work for a number of years. I was so grateful that I could continue to work!
