Abstract
An apparatus that allows a user to remain in a comfortable and stable standing position whereby there is less strain on the muscles and joints. Strain is reduced because body weight is ergonomically redistributed throughout the body. Improved blood flow provides rest and relaxation to individual muscles and joints while the user maintains proper posture in a standing, upright position. The apparatus is aesthetically pleasing and may be used in the home or office to allow the user to stand in a comfortable, supported position.

An apparatus to support the human body in a generally standing position, comprising:
- an elongated body support member;
- a generally flat base located below the body support member;
- and
- a support column having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the distal end is attached to the base and the proximal end is attached to the body support member such that the elongated body support member is generally inclined with respect to the base.
An apparatus to support a human body in a generally vertical position comprising:
- an elongated body support member configured to support a user's body;
- a pair of independent arm members coupled to the body support member;

- a standing chair portion including:
- an elongated body support member
- a generally flat base located below the body support member and
