A chair is ergonomic if it adapts to your body, not the other way around. Every feature on this page exists to serve that single principle. If your chair forces you into a position rather than following you, it isn't ergonomic, it's furniture.
THE DETAIL THAT DETERMINES EVERYTHING.
Your lumbar region, the lower five vertebrae of your spine, curves inwards, it's concave. A real lumbar support system is therefore convex, filling the gap where your body finds that curve hard to maintain on its own for extended periods.
Every moment you sit in a chair with poor support, gravity is pulling that curve flat, and pain soon follows. What's more, keyboard posture demands that you are forward of upright. But where is the chair? If the chair is not designed and contoured correctly, there will be a gap between your back and the chair. This gap is really a canyon, and a cause of musculoskeletal fatigue and pain. First your muscles compensate, but very soon they hurt.
A real ergonomic chair is one that stays in contact and supports you in the positions in which you actually work. That's the Ergotherapy design mandate.
MORE ENGINEERING THAN YOU'D EXPECT FROM SOMETHING YOU SIT ON
High-density injection-moulded foam holds its shape year after year.
The front edge slopes into a waterfall curve, ensuring that sensitive vessels behind the knees are not compromised.
Adjustable seat depth ensures that, regardless of your height, you can sit back using the full depth of the seat while staying in contact with the backrest. No more perching on the front edge of your seat.
The strain you don't notice until it's gone.
When your arms aren’t supported, your shoulders carry the load.
Over an 8-hour day, that tension compounds through your neck, your upper back, and into headaches you’ve been blaming on your screen.
Adjustable armrests solve this, but only if they adjust in the right dimensions.
The test is simple. If your shoulders are relaxed while your forearms rest on the armrests, they're right.
If your shoulders are hunched up or your elbows float in the air, they're wrong.
Most people have never experienced correctly positioned armrests. The difference is immediate.
IT'S ABOUT STAYING SUPPORTED
Your head weighs roughly 5 kilograms. Without support, your neck muscles carry that weight every second you're upright.
A height-adjustable headrest transfers that load off your neck and into the chair, for calls, for reading, for the moments you lean back to think.
Because it's not about one perfect posture, it's about the ability to move while staying supported.
Now that's ergonomics.
