Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the HÅG Capisco 8106 different from a traditional office chair?
The Capisco is built around an active-sitting concept. Its saddle seat and open design encourage position changes (forward, sideways, perched) instead of locking you into one posture—helping reduce stiffness during long workdays.
Is the Capisco 8106 good for sit-stand desks?
Yes. With the right cylinder height, Capisco supports seated and perched working positions and is suitable for work surfaces of 28" and higher.
How is the 8106 different from Capisco Puls models?
The 8106 is the fully upholstered Capisco—typically the most cushioned feel. Puls models use a plastic shell design and are often chosen for a lighter look or easier wipe-down surfaces.
Do I need a foot ring?
If you select a taller cylinder for sit-stand or higher perching positions, a foot ring can improve comfort by giving your feet a stable place to rest.
How do I choose the right cylinder height?
CY23 is a standard seated range, CY29 supports sit-stand/perching range, and CY37 is a higher stool range. If you tell us your height and desk height, we can recommend the best match.
