Finding the perfect comfortable office chair

Some of this information is provided by the office chairs guide

Ergonomics (from Greek ergon work and nomoi natural laws) is the study of designing objects to be better adapted to the shape of the human body and/or to correct the user's posture. Common examples include chairs designed to prevent the user from sitting in positions that may have a detrimental effect on the spine, and the ergonomic desk which offers an adjustable keyboard tray, a main desktop of variable height and other elements which can be changed by the user.

To check for a proper fit:

Ensuring that the person's feet can rest firmly against the ground while the thighs remain level on the seat cushion.

The chair should be rounded in front to avoid reducing circulation below the knee.

The seat cushion, or seat pan, should feel comfortable, and the person's weight should feel evenly distributed throughout the seat.

In addition, the back rest should feel comfortable; a contoured backrest will often provide greater lumbar support.

Check that a number of different seated positions can be accommodated comfortably.

If the person using the office chair often leans back, make sure that doing so does not result in any neck tension.
