Consider the time spent in sitting to the time we spend on sleeping. Both are more or less proportional. We ensure we get a comfartable bed to sleep in. Why do we tend to ignore the seat we sit on then?

If cost is such a deterrent in buying ergonomic chairs for the employees, why employ human beings with flesh and blood. Invest in automatons. Robots will never have a backache, for sure

These chairs would become ubiquitous, were it not for the cost which deters most corporates in mass-ordering them for their executives.

Sitting in a chair with no back support can be crucial to your health. I have found this article to be very helpful: Office Chair Lumbar Support

These chairs must be the norm rather than the exception in offices. Executives of the world Unite! You have nothing to lose but your back-pains!

The cost is such a deterrent in buying these chairs. If someone a la Henry Ford can mass produce these chairs, he would do a “backboned-favour” to all executives everywhere.

Our line of work involves a lot of architectural designs, from idea to concept to reality, there is a lot of sitting and discussing and rounds of meeting and conferences. We find that ergonomic chairs are more beneficial to the health and backs of our executives than normal chairs. Investing in these chairs is sound business sense.

I bought a Raynor Ergohuman chair from this store. It's a great chair and I like the mesh back. The chair is very comfortable.

My employer is going to help me out with a reasonable priced ergonomic chair of my choosing, as I’ve acquired some significant back and sciatic pain in 2 years. We cannot afford anything too far over the 200-250 dollars limit. I’m considering a knee-chair that has a back on it, sort of like “training wheels” for my posture. Does anyone have thoughts on the knee-chair. I see no feedback about this here. Please help! My back is killing me!

I was suffering from backaches, sitting for hours in the office on the chair was very tiring. I was searching for a good chair & wanted to buy it directly from the Manufacturers to reduce the cost. I came across this site Ergo4me.com on Google, ordered for customized ergonomic chair according to my body type. They have a good variety of ergonomic chairs & it can be adjusted a thousand different ways as it has a unique 10-point posture control. My back loves it. Bye Backaches & thanks ergo4me.

I really love the herman miller chairs! they’re incredibly comfortable… even for someone like me with a bad back! i found a bunch of info on the aeron chair at http://www.aeronchairguide.com and decided to try it out. so far, it’s been the only office chair i’ve been able to sit in for an extended period of time without my back hurting. i’m glad there are other sites like yours devoted to finding the right ergonomic chair, because it’s SO important — especially for those with desk jobs!

A friend of mine was recently at the MacWorld Expo and saw the Swingseat there. Said it was very comfortable. Also said that the people in the booth thought it was “almost” as good [though much easier to use and adjust] as the Steelcase Leap [which has a lot of adjustments and also costs more than twice as much]. They only sell mail order. Gilbert posted on 4-12-07 on this blog that he liked the SwingSeat but didn’t compare it to anything. Has anyone had a chance to sit in both the SwingSeat and the Leap, and/or do a comparison? It would be nice to know before I buy. Thanx. Bob Gale

i am six feet three inches tall and about 210 pounds. what do you think is the best hi-back chair with a headrest for the money on the market for someone my size? i want to try out the raynor ergohuman and the nightingale cxo. also—–i am thinking that a chair with a mesh back and leather covered bottom or a seat bottom like the cxo with memory foam would be the most comfortable over the long haul. thanks for your input! steve morgan

really like your idea with the taller stool and bar-like computer counter –for now though, I may just go out today and buy a large exercise ball and see if that’s really workable – manageable. If so, finally, sitting at a computer could have the potential of being good for my body instead of driving it toward being broken down.

I feel I might help people with a suggestion that the skill level of the person fitting a chair is key to a successful match. As with most things “one size fits all” really translates to “one size fits none”. A trained and knowledgeable sales person can make all the difference in getting the chair that will fit you, your style and your environment. We offer a number of chair lines including a customizable line from Soma that offers almost 2000 possible combinations. Without the right advice, finding the best chair for the individual does not have very good odds.

A reputable ergonomic chair vendor will have chairs that fit the small to large and everyone in between. A full line of chairs can fit an individual from 4′ to 7′ and up to 500 pounds and will last a good 10 years.

While a good chair is an investment it will do more for you than you may think. Less back pain and fatigue will make you more than happy with your investment.
