Before buying an office chair, test it by sitting in it for an extended period to check for comfort and support. Evaluate its adjustability, particularly for seat height, backrest angle, and armrests, and ensure it supports your lower back and allows your feet to rest flat on the floor. It's best to do this in-store to get a feel for how the chair fits your specific body type and posture.
What features to look for in an office chair.
Adjustability
Seat height:
Your feet should rest flat on the floor, with your knees and hips at roughly a 90-degree angle.
Lumbar support:
The chair should have adjustable lumbar support that conforms to the natural curve of your spine.
Armrests:
Look for adjustable armrests that support your forearms, keeping your shoulders relaxed and level. The armrests should be soft enough not to press on nerves or bones.
Seat depth:
An adjustable seat pan that slides forward or backward is ideal to ensure proper thigh support without creating pressure behind the knees.
Recline:
The ability to recline can relieve pressure on your spine during breaks.
Comfort and support
Seat design:
The seat should be comfortable and contoured for even weight distribution. A "waterfall" edge that curves downward helps maintain blood flow to your legs.
Back support:
The backrest should support your entire back, especially the lumbar region. Some chairs also offer headrests for neck support.
Breathability:
Materials like mesh are often more breathable and can prevent overheating during long periods of sitting.
