Frequently asked questions


Consider the following points when deciding what ergonomic chair is best for you:

Lumbar support: The chair’s backrest should provide excellent lumbar/lower back support that mirrors the natural curves of the spine.

Adjustability: Seat height, depth, lumbar support, armrests, and tilt should all be adjustable so that you can achieve a comfortable, ergonomic posture.

Comfort and build: Firm but comfortable cushioning, breathable material, stable base and smooth casters.

An ergonomic office chair should be highly adjustable, supportive and durable. Look for:

Exceptional lumbar support – Adjustable lower back support to match your lower spine curve.

Seat height adjustment – Thighs parallel to floor, knees at ~90°, feet flat.

Seat depth adjustment – Allow 2-3 finger widths between seat edge and knees.

Backrest recline and tilt tension – Supports posture changes between 90° to 110°.

Armrest adjustability – You should be able to adjust the height and pivot of the armrests to keep shoulders relaxed and elbows supported.

Seat comfort – Firm, even cushioning with a waterfall front edge to avoid leg pressure.

Materials and build – Make sure your chair uses quality mesh or fabric and cushion foam, a sturdy 5-point base and smooth casters.

Durability and warranty – At least 5 years for office-grade chairs.

Our office chairs are endorsed by physiotherapists and chiropractors to relieve back pain and improve posture. The Ergotherapy range of ergonomic office chairs includes a variety of models to meet your specific requirements, so whether you want a chair in a mid- or high-back configuration, mesh or fabric, with or without a headrest, we have the chair for you.

A genuine ergonomic office chair is an investment in your health, comfort, and productivity. While many mass-market chairs are marketed as “ergonomic,” the reality is that true ergonomic design requires precision engineering, premium materials and extensive testing.

A premium ergonomic chair, designed to properly support spinal alignment and withstand years of daily use, can range from R3900 to R9 900. At this level, you’re paying for:

  • Medical-grade ergonomic design
  • Durable, long-lasting components
  • Extensive adjustability to suit different body types
  • Proven health benefits over time

Think about your ergonomic office chair purchase as an investment in your health and productivity. If you spend hours at your desk each day, a chair in the R3900 to R9 900 range is well worth it for the support, adjustability and durability you’ll gain. A quality ergonomic chair can help prevent discomfort, improve posture, and outlast multiple budget chairs – saving money and discomfort in the long run.

Yes, a properly designed ergonomic chair can significantly help with back and sciatic pain by supporting healthy posture, reducing pressure on the spine, and promoting proper weight distribution.

Key benefits:

Lumbar support maintains the natural curve of the lower spine, reducing strain on muscles and discs.

Adjustable seat depth prevents compression at the back of the thighs, which can aggravate sciatic nerve discomfort.

Recline and tilt features allow posture changes, reducing static pressure on the lower back.

Even weight distribution through quality cushioning helps relieve pressure points.

While an ergonomic chair cannot “cure” the underlying cause of pain, it can reduce irritation, improve comfort, and support recovery when combined with good sitting habits and movement breaks.
