This article will give you a detailed analysis of the definition, principle, popular brands and user reviews of suspension seats, and take you to find out.
1. The definition and principle of suspension seats

The suspension seat is an innovative piece of furniture that uses magnetic levitation technology or aerodynamic principles to separate the seat body from the ground support. Its core feature is to achieve a "suspended" effect through non-contact support, which combines technology and comfort. There are currently two main types of technology on the market:
| technology type | Principle | Representative products |
|---|---|---|
| Maglev | Counteracts gravity through electromagnetic force and requires electric drive | HoverSeat Pro |
| air suspension | Utilizes high-pressure airflow to create support, no electricity required | Float Chair |
2. Hot topics on the Internet
According to the analysis of social platform data in the past 10 days, discussions on suspended seats mainly focus on the following aspects:
| platform | Amount of discussions (articles) | Popular keywords |
