Pilates Chairs — Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between a Wunda chair and a Combo chair?
A classic Wunda chair has a single pedal. A Combo chair typically includes a split pedal that can be joined with a dowel—giving you both unilateral and unified pedal options in one unit.
Do I need split pedals?
Split pedals allow left/right isolation for imbalances and stability work. If you mainly want bilateral strength or are space-conscious, a single-pedal model is great value.
What about handles—are they necessary?
Handles add support, alignment cues, and safety for upright sequences. They are strongly recommended for beginners, rehab, and advanced balance work.
How much space do I need?
Chairs are compact (roughly the size of a side table), but allow clearance around the pedal and sides for mounting, handles, and floor exercises—~6×6 ft is comfortable.
Can a Pilates chair replace a reformer?
They complement each other. Chairs excel at vertical strength and balance training in small spaces; reformers provide sliding-carriage repertoire and supine sequences. Many studios use both.
What’s included with most chairs?
Typically the chair, springs, foot/hand loops (brand dependent), and joiner dowel for split pedals. Handles are often optional. Check each product listing for specifics.
Maximum user weight and durability?
Most pro chairs support high user-weight ratings (often 300 lb+). Heavy-gauge frames, hardwood bodies, and commercial hardware improve longevity—see each model’s specs.

Buying Guide: How to Choose a Pilates Chair

Step 1 — Pick Your Pedal

  • Single Pedal (Wunda): Classic feel, lower cost, compact.
  • Split Pedal (Combo): Unilateral training; joiner dowel converts to single.

Step 2 — Springs & Adjustability

  • Look for multiple springs and several hook positions for micro-loading.
  • Smooth pedal travel with quiet action and secure stops.

Step 3 — Handles & Ergonomics

  • Height-adjustable, locking handles improve safety and repertoire.
  • Seat width/height, pedal surface, and padding affect comfort and control.

Step 4 — Frame & Finish

  • Wood: Maple/beech with durable finishes for studio aesthetics.
  • Metal: Steel/aluminum frames for rugged commercial use.
  • Non-slip feet protect floors; wheels help with portability.

Step 5 — Space, Users & Purpose

  • Measure footprint + handle height for ceilings/mirrors.
  • Check weight capacity, accessories, and intended use (home vs. studio).

Care, Warranty & Shipping

Wipe frames and wood surfaces with a soft cloth; avoid harsh solvents. Inspect springs, hooks, and pedal hardware for wear; replace springs per brand intervals or at the first sign of deformation or noise. Check handle locks and rubber feet regularly. Use on a level surface with a mat to protect floors. Most chairs ship boxed or crated with tracking; some require light assembly. Manufacturer warranties typically cover frames, wood, springs, and soft parts for defined terms—see product pages for specifics.
