There are more benefits of gardening besides improving the curb appeal of your home. Spending time outside in the garden helps reduce stress, improve your mood and can also be a great source of exercise.

However, for all the good it can do for our spirits, hours of bending and kneeling can wreak havoc on the body, especially if you have a pre-existing injury or aches and pains.

"My wife is 70-years-old and this allows her to continue to do her gardening without the pain of trying to get up from her kneeling position," another wrote.

Some customers have said that when in the stool position, the bench is fairly tall - which might not be comfortable for some people who would have to lean over.

"This stool is very strong and durable and great quality! The downside for me is it's height. I'm 5 ft 3 tall and this stool sits too far off the ground for me," one person wrote. "I bought it to save my back and I don't think it will do the job because I need to bend so far over while sitting on it. Just for reference, I put the stool next to my sofa & checked to see which was taller and it was an even match. I wish they made a version for shorter people."

Verdict

If you're looking to take some of the physical aches and pains out of gardening, Songmic's Garden Kneeler might be for you. The foam pad makes it easier to kneel while the stool's legs can help assist you getting up and down. Just remember to place the kneeler on even ground.
