🪑 Chair Check: Ergonomics That Matter
Published by iDeskz Office Furniture Outlet

Let’s be honest—sitting is the new smoking, but most of us still have to sit for 8+ hours a day. If your office chair feels like a medieval torture device, it might be time for an ergonomic upgrade.

So, What Actually Makes a Chair “Ergonomic”?

Ergonomic chairs aren’t just about looking sleek. They’re built to support your spine, reduce strain on your body, and keep you from slowly melting into a Cheeto-shaped blob by 3 p.m.

Key features to look for:

  • Adjustable seat height and depth
  • Lumbar support that actually hits your back
  • Seat tilt and tension controls
  • Armrests that don’t feel like punishment

The Productivity Boost is Real

When your back’s not screaming and your legs aren’t numb, you can focus on work instead of dreaming about your chiropractor. Teams with proper seating report fewer breaks, fewer sick days, and—yep—more output. It's science.
