Long hours at a desk can result in a strew of health and posture problems, and the cause of this is quite often down to the incorrect setup of your office chair.

Among our stock, you’ll find a host of best-selling chiropractor approved models that are proven to help posture, focusing on reducing aches and pains as well as increasing productivity levels.

Ergonomic Chairs FAQs
What does the word ergonomic mean?
The word ergonomic is derived from Greek words; ?ergon? which means work and ?nomoi? which stands for natural laws. The ergonomic philosophy is to develop and optimise products for human use over extended hours.
What is an ergonomic chair?
Ergonomic chairs are simply designed to better support and offer greater comfort in the work environment. Ergonomic chairs offer multiple adjustable features to suit the individual needs of its users and their body composition. Adjustable features are typically:
- Adjustable seat height
- Adjustable seat pan depth
- Backrest height adjustment
- Back angle adjustment
- Adjustable arm supports
- Headrest adjustment
- Premium casters
- Back tilt tension
What are the benefits of an ergonomic chair?
An ergonomic chair is designed to offer maximum comfort whilst offering multiple health and well-being benefits:
- Supports posture which reduces strain on the neck and spine
- Reduces pressure on bones caused by continuous use
- Prevents stiffness in the neck and shoulders
- Reduces back pain
- Reduces pressure on the hips by offering a more natural sitting position
What is the best ergonomic chair for lumbar support?
The lumbar region consists of the first five vertebrae in the lower back, a sensitive area that’s prone to plenty of back problems, ranging from general stiffness to painful trapped nerves.
To avoid these problems occurring in the first place, it’s wise to invest in an ergonomic office chair that offers excellent lumbar support, but what should you look out for? For those wondering ‘how do I choose an ergonomic chair’, we recommend one that features the following:
- Adjustable height to factor for leg length
- Adjustable seat depth; you shouldn’t sit too far back or too far forward - a gap three fingers wide is recommended between the edge of your seat and the back of your knees
- Adjustable seat tilt that helps support the natural position of the pelvis
- Adjustable backrest; your backrest should sit at a 90° to 100° angle to your seat, also allowing a movement radius of 120° to 130° for the user to lean back and stretch
- Adjustable lumbar support which aids the natural arch of the lower back
- Armrests can affect your back as they limit some mobility, however, if you do prefer them, ensure that armrests can be adjusted and are at 90° to 100° to support the elbow
- Chairs that allow easy mobility are the best, so invest in an ergonomic chair with wheels and a swivel mechanism
- Lastly, the seat cushion is also important; the cushioning should be thick enough to support long periods of sitting and soft enough to alleviate stress on the pelvis.
