Best Ergonomic Chairs For Your Home Office
Working from home is the new normal, at least for a majority of Americans who are able to do so.
While we see signs of light at the end of this tunnel, many experts agree that a certain amount of remote work will always continue to be an option.
Now that we know what’s possible with cloud sharing, Zoom, and conference calls, some employees might prefer working at home as long as it’s an option.
Collaborative Office Interiors can help you get your home office ready for the long haul.

What Features Should You Look for in an Ergonomic Chair for Home Offices?
- Seat Height: The height of the chair should be adjustable so that the feet are completely on the floor and the knees are at an angle of about 90 degrees when sitting.
Most modern home office chairs have a pneumatic mechanism for height adjustment, which is suitable for different heights.
- Seat Depth: The depth of the seat determines how far from the back of the chair to the front edge of the seat.
The proper depth should be such that your back is fully supported, while maintaining a distance of 5 to 10 centimeters between the edge of the seat and the back of the knee to avoid restricting blood circulation.
- Lumbar Support: Proper lower back support is important to reducing pressure on the spine.
Adjustable lumbar support allows you to maintain the natural curve of your spine.
- Armrests: The handles should be adjustable in height and sometimes in width to keep the shoulders and arms in a comfortable position and reduce pressure on the neck and shoulders.
