A Movement Towards
Mindful Sitting
Postura was founded to provide an innovative solution for combating chronic back pain in working adults.
Our Mission
Using AI-Powered Hardware Technology to help people sit smarter, work better, and live healthier.
Why We Started
Postura began with a simple observation - long hours of sitting were harming people's health and wellbeing. Our founder set out to change that.
The result: a smart cushion that encourages better posture and offers real-time feedback, helping users build healthier sitting habits over time.
