Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right ergonomic chair for my body type and desk setup?

Choose a chair with adjustments that suit your height, build and desk setup. Check the seat height and depth, lumbar support and armrests. Your feet should rest comfortably on the floor, with the chair supporting your lower back and allowing relaxed shoulders.

What’s the difference between a mesh ergonomic chair and a high-back upholstered chair?

Mesh ergonomic chairs offer greater airflow and a flexible backrest that moves with your body. High-back upholstered chairs generally provide a more substantial feel, with foam padding and support extending towards the shoulders. The best choice depends on your comfort preferences and working environment.

Should I look at chairs for tall users, small users or heavy-duty models?

Choose a chair based on your height and build. Petite users may need a shorter seat and lower height range, while taller users often require a deeper seat and taller backrest. Heavy-duty chairs use reinforced components and have higher weight ratings.

Is an ergonomic chair really different from a standard office chair, or is it just marketing?

An ergonomic chair usually offers more adjustments than a standard office chair. Features such as adjustable lumbar support, seat depth, armrests and tilt mechanisms allow the chair to be set up around your body and working position for greater comfort during extended periods of sitting.

What’s the difference between an executive chair, a drafting chair and a standard ergonomic office chair?

Executive chairs typically have taller backrests and a more traditional appearance. Drafting chairs are designed for higher work surfaces and often include a foot ring. Ergonomic office chairs are intended for everyday desk work and usually offer a broader range of adjustments.
