What should I look for in an ergonomic chair?
Ivy, head of Haoqing furniture brand, said that support and firmness are the key, but here are some functions he recommended:
A minimum of five legs for stability
Seat that supports the lower, middle, and upper back
Comfortable seat back and seat pan (i.e., the flat part you sit on) padding
Height adjustability for the seat pan height and seat-back
A breathable chair covering
Adjustable lumbar support
Adjustable armrests
Adjustable back-rest angle
Adjustable seat pan depth
Adjustable seat pan angle
Escobar also emphasizes that you take frequent micro-breaks and stretch over the course of the workday to maintain your blood flow. So make sure you're not glued to your chair the whole time, even if it is supportive! And if you want to look into other ways to make your work life more comfortable, Morton recommends other ergonomic accessories like specific keyboards, mice, and standing desks that will help promote the right posture. Now that you're basically an expert after all this info, here are the top ergonomic office chairs that will transform your WFH setup.
