The Key Features of an Ergonomic Office Chair

There are 4 (or maybe even 5) key features that your chair must have for it to get The Ergonomic Physio tick of approval to be considered an ergonomic office chair. If the chair you are looking at doesn't have these features (or at least the first 4), don't get sucked in by its technical-looking appearance or by the salesperson raving about their chair. Remember - that salesperson has a vested interest in selling you the most expensive chair available. 

Purchasing a chair from us eliminates the risk for you, as we only sell the exact same ergonomic chairs that we recommend to our own clients. So, they have all of the features listed below, guaranteeing you a truly ergonomic office chair. 

The 5 key features for an ergonomic office chair are:

Adjustable Height

Your chair height must be adjustable. This might sound obvious, but some ergonomic chairs don't allow you to change the height of the chair. The range that the height can be changed varies between chairs. However, a range of somewhere between 450mm - 600mm is fine for the majority of people.

Backrest Height

The entire backrest must be able to be moved up and down. This is a major problem with the majority of ergonomic mesh chairs on the market, because they don't allow for this. If the backrest can't be moved up and down, the lumbar support cant be adjusted for individual requirements. ​

Backrest Angle

​The backrest angle must be able to be adjusted AND be able to locked in whatever position you need. A lot of chairs don't allow you to lock the backrest in a specific position. Instead, they have a few different set positions. However, if the backrest can't be positioned at specific angles, it can't be adjusted to suit the requirements of the individual. ​

Seat Tilt

The seat cushion (called the seat pan) that you sit on must be able to be tilted forwards and backwards. A lot of chairs have combined seat tilt/backrest angle levers. These are not ideal. Further, some highly technical and very expensive chairs don't have this feature at all. By having a seat tilt option, it allows the chair to be positioned to relieve stress of the lower back and hip areas.

Seat Depth

This feature is a relatively new addition to ergonomic chairs. It is sometimes called a seat slide. It enables you to slide the seat cushion forwards and backwards, according to the length of your legs. This feature isn't a necessity like the four features already mentioned. However, is a great addition to ergonomic office chairs because it enables a wider range of people to be able to use the same chair. ​​​
