A better way to sit
Finding the right chair for you. A buyer’s guide

When you’re investing money in a new desk chair, the first thing you should do is get expert advice. From there, choose a supplier where you can try out different chairs and settings. There’s plenty of choice, but you’ll only know which one feels right for you when you sit in it.
The thought process for selecting one chair for yourself, or multiple chairs for a new office, will be very different. But getting the right fit for each user should always be the priority.
Chair essentials Where to start
Price
Price isn’t value. Invest in a chair that fits you and your work. Quality, adjustability, and longevity matter more than cost for comfort and productivity.
Fit
Fit is everything. A chair must suit the user’s height, seat depth, and armrest width. Wrong dimensions cause discomfort, pain, and poor support, regardless of adjustments.
Service
A good chair isn’t just about features, it’s about setup. Delivery, assembly, and expert advice mean your chair is adjusted correctly for comfort, support, and long-term use.
Making it perfect. Giving you maximum chair comfort
Cushions
Both mesh and foam cushions can work. Quality foam offers support, adjustability, and longevity while mesh provides breathability. Test to find what feels best for you.
Neck & armrests
Armrests support your arms, reducing shoulder and neck strain, while neckrests offer occasional support. Both are useful if adjusted correctly, but they depend on your work.
Back height
The height of your chair’s backrest probably won’t affect support. Tall backs are useful for neck rests or injuries. Shorter backs work fine and may suit aesthetics or preference..
Mechanism
Even a perfect chair can’t prevent problems if you stay still. A quality, built-in mechanism provides movement and constant lower back support, unlike cheaper, rigid chairs.
And finally…
We’ve focused on traditional office chairs and the key factors to consider when choosing one. However, there are also non-traditional options worth exploring. Saddle stools, for example, encourage a more anatomically correct posture. As such, conventional chair strains are avoided. While they can be highly effective, they’re not for everyone, so it’s important to try them out and see if they suit your preferences and work style.
