Choosing an office chair that supports your posture can help to prevent back, neck and wrist injuries and maximize your function at work. To find the right ergonomic chair, you will need to know the various characteristics of the ergonomic chair and how it may support your needs. Choose an ergonomic office chair using the following steps.

Research the features of an ergonomic chair.
  • Height – An ergonomic chair should allow for adjustment in height to allow you to sit comfortably with your feet flat on the floor, with your knees at a 90 degree angle and parallel to your hips.
  • Armrest – Armrests can support your arms so that your shoulders rest at a comfortable position when you are working. This is an important feature if you are typing at the computer for a large portion of your day. Armrests should be adjustable in height and position to accommodate different users and activities.
  • Back – The backrest on an ergonomic chair should support the natural curve of your spine, providing support in the lower back. It should be high enough to support your shoulder and neck region, while allowing for flex and movement for reaching activities when you are sitting. Some ergonomic chairs have a recline function in their back rest to allow for reclined sitting, which is when the hip to back angle is greater than 90 degrees.
  • Seat – An ergonomic chair should provide comfortable support to your hips and buttocks and the seat depth should measure from your back to 2 to 4 inches from the back of your knees.
  • Headrest – A headrest allows your head to be supported when you are sitting in a reclined position in your chair. This is a useful feature if you spend more time sitting in a reclined position for talking on the phone than typing at your desk.
Consider what you will do most in your ergonomic chair.

Will you be talking on the phone most of the day? Will you need access to many different things on your desk? Will you be on the computer, sitting still in the same position? Make a list and compare them to the characteristics of ergonomic chairs to help you choose an ergonomic office chair.

Visit stores that carry ergonomic chairs to try out.

Once you have narrowed down the functions and features of the ergonomic chair you want, visit a store with chairs to sit in, to assess comfort, support and positioning.

Compare prices of ergonomic chairs.

Look at online stores, wholesale stores and office furniture stores to compare prices of chairs with the features you are looking for. If you are looking to buy online, don’t forget to consider the cost of shipping in the price.

Choose the style, color and materials of your ergonomic chair.

Finally, if applicable, many ergonomic chairs come in different styles and materials, such as leather, fabric or mesh back chairs. In some models, you may also be able to choose colors to customize the chair to your specifications.
