1st step: Requirements

For those office staffs who sit for a long hours, it is necessary to focus on the hip support, thigh support and lumbar support of the ergonomic chair, because the determination of sedentary comfort and time mainly depends on the above three aspects. Generally speaking, if you choose a mesh cushion, the mesh material must be high-quality, otherwise sitting for a long time will cause numbness in your thighs. In addition, if the mesh material is not good enough, the comfortable experience will not be good enough, and it is not conducive to long-term use.

Besides, choose a style with good lumbar support design. If you are looking for comfort, it is best to choose a chair with a separated dynamic lumbar support, which can support your waist well for a long time.

This is very critical as the use of ergonomic chairs varies by price.

Inexpensive ergonomic chairs (under $200) are generally more modest, less ergonomically designed, and suitable for those on a budget that don't use them for long periods of time.

Most mid-priced ergonomic chairs ($200 to $500) are excellent in terms of ergonomics and adjustability. Compared with the low price, it has a qualitative improvement and can meet the basic needs of daily work.

Brand ergonomic chairs (above $500) have little difference in sitting, mainly in terms of material, adjustability and function, and the overall experience has been greatly improved. If you pursue quality and cost-effectiveness, it is recommended to choose a brand ergonomic chair.

In short, if you sit for a long time, try to choose an ergonomic chair above the middle price. In the long run, buying a good chair will never lose money.

3rd step: Body Shape.

If you have a standard size, you don't have to worry too much. All styles of ergonomic chairs will fit.

If you are overweight (>90KG), it is recommended to choose a foam cushion. The mesh cushion may cause numbness and pain in the thigh.

For taller people (> 180cm), it is better to choose a style with adjustable backrest height, because most ergonomic chairs on the market are suitable for the size of 175cm-180cm. If it doesn't fit, it can cause the shoulders to hit the headrest frequently.

Secondly, choose a style with adjustable seat depth, which can prevent long-legged friends from hanging on the thighs and causing discomfort.
