The Pipersong Chair: A True Gamechanger for IIH, EDS, and Chronic Pain

Living with IIH (Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension), Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), and endometriosis has made one thing incredibly clear to me: pain management is a full-time job. Every movement, every position, every hour spent sitting—my body has a way of reminding me just how hard it can be.

Sitting for long periods? That’s always been a struggle. And let’s face it, traditional office chairs are no help when your body is in constant pain.

I didn’t know I needed a solution until one day I was scrolling through TikTok and stumbled upon something that caught my eye: the Pipersong Chair. It was exactly what I needed! (I also made a joking TikTok about how it is good for my ADHD. You can click on the TikTok to the right to see the chair in action.)

If you’re living with chronic pain, whether it’s from IIH, EDS, or endometriosis, and you’ve found yourself constantly shifting in a chair just to find some relief, this one is for you. It's been a total life-changer for me—and it might just be the relief you’re searching for, too.

Why Traditional Office Chairs Just Don’t Work for Chronic Pain

Most office chairs are designed for the “average person,” and by that, I mean someone who isn’t dealing with chronic pain, spinal issues, or unstable joints. For someone with IIH, sitting still for too long can actually worsen the pressure in my head and face.

EDS makes my joints hypermobile, which means I’m constantly adjusting, but even then, my body still isn’t properly supported. And don’t get me started on endometriosis—sitting for long periods just puts way too much pressure on my pelvic area.

I’ve tried every office chair you can think of, from ergonomic to fancy lumbar support models, but none of them offered the flexibility I needed. I was always shifting, trying to find a position that didn’t worsen my symptoms, and it just wasn’t working.

Then, I discovered the Pipersong Chair.

This chair isn’t just a chair—it’s a revolution in comfort for anyone with chronic pain. It’s designed to let you move, adjust, and find relief instead of forcing you into one position that only makes things worse. I can sit cross-legged, kneel, squat, or shift into whatever position feels best in the moment. That flexibility has made a world of difference in how I manage pain.

How the Pipersong Chair Helps Me Manage Pain From IIH, EDS, and Endometriosis

With IIH, there are days when the pressure in my head just gets unbearable. When that happens, I can’t sit still for too long without feeling like my head might explode. The Pipersong Chair lets me adjust my posture as needed. If the pressure’s building in my head, I sit cross-legged to help relieve the tension in my spine. The ability to change my position whenever I need to has been crucial in managing my IIH symptoms.

With EDS, my joints are constantly unstable, and staying in one position for too long can make the pain worse. The Pipersong Chair gives me the freedom to move without worrying about my joints. Whether I’m kneeling, squatting, or shifting positions, I can do so without fear of injuring myself. It’s given me a level of control over my body that I didn’t know I needed.

When endometriosis flares up, the last thing I want is to be stuck in a position that increases the pressure in my lower body. The chair allows me to kneel or adjust my posture to take the pressure off, which brings instant relief.

It’s the small changes that make a huge difference. No more constant shifting or struggling to find comfort. I can move freely, and the chair supports me naturally. It's not a cure for my pain, but it’s definitely made a significant difference in how I manage my pain throughout the day.

If you’re someone who works from home and is dealing with chronic pain, whether it’s from IIH, EDS, or endometriosis, I honestly can’t recommend the Pipersong Chair enough. It’s been a total gamechanger for me.
