Unique features of J16
J16 is exceedingly supportive and comfortable making it easy to the back and neck. When used together with a footstool, one can fall asleep.

A small cushion is installed which makes it not to slip or slide when one is sitting or getting up from the chair.
For maximum stability, the chair is equipped with two side cross bars at the legs which also act as floor protectors. Therefore, the chair won’t scratch the floor or slip. The overall seating angle of the chair makes it easy to sit and rise with the least effort. Instances of neck and back pain or stiffness are all solved. Anyone suffering from the degenerative spine, joint disease or rheumatoid disease can comfortably use the chair without compromising their condition.
