What do you feel defines a comfortable office chair? Is it the feel of a fine leather seat, or perhaps a five leg pedestal base? Obviously there is one standard to follow and that is comfort. But comfort is not necessarily determined by how an office chair feels when we first sit down. One might do better to work a long hard day in a chair then see how they feel. Obviously no merchant is going to let you borrow a few office chairs on sale until you find one that suits you.
So we must do a little research before we buy. The trend in office chairs today is to high quality mesh fabric chairs that incorporate ergonomic construction. Ergonomic office chairs have simple but important features such as footrests and hydraulic height adjustment. These ensure that one is positioned upright so as to easily view computer monitors and reach keyboards. Other ergonomic features are adjustable armrests that further reduce weight on the lower back.
