Office chair guide
Comfort is the most important feature when choosing an office chair. If you’re going to be using it for work day-in day-out, you need a chair that is adjustable and supports a healthy posture. Check out some of our favourites below, or scroll down to read more about ergonomic furniture that supports you while you work.
Ergonomic office furniture

What is ergonomic furniture?
Ergonomic furniture is designed to provide comfort and support. They can help to reduce the risk of numerous health issues, such as arthritis, joint pain, musculoskeletal problems, and poor blood pressure, to name a few. Here are some of the key features that can help you sit comfortably:
- Adjustable heights - allows you to customise furniture to make it comfortable for you, maintaining the correct posture by keeping your back straight and legs at the correct angle, as well as reducing the risk of joint pain and stiffness.
- Fabrics that regulate temperature - helping to keep your body at a regular temperature.
- 180 degree adjustable chair arms - to mimic your arm movement.
- Keyboard and mouse supports - these support your wrists and help to reduce the risk of developing conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome.
Ergonomic office chairs
Most office chairs have some level of adjustability – usually allowing you to change the height, tilt and arm rests.
These ergonomic features are ideal if you're sat at a desk for several hours a day. They provide a level of comfort and support that helps to reduce stress, therefore increasing productivity and efficiency.
Ergonomic office desks
An ergonomic office desk is one that allows you to remain comfortable whilst using it for longer periods of time.
This can also refer to sit-stand or standing desks, that help to alleviate the health risks you may encounter from prolonged sitting.
Ergonomic office accessories
Having the right computer accessories can help to keep your hands and wrists comfortable whilst working for long periods of time. They can help reduce the risk of health issues such as carpal tunnel syndrome.
Other accessories, such as footrests under your desk, can also help to maintain an ideal posture to prevent any aches or pains.

What’s the correct posture for sitting at a desk?
- Your eyes should be level with the top of your computer monitor.
- Your back and neck should not be bent or hunched.
- Your shoulders should feel relaxed.
- Your hips and knees should be at a 90° angle and feet firmly on the floor.
- Your wrists shouldn’t be bent and your arms should sit on the armrests.
With an adjustable office chair you can change the width, height and tilt to suit your needs. As well as sitting in the correct position, it’s important to take regular breaks and move around, so you're sitting in an office chair for long periods of time.
You could even consider a standing desk, which allows you to work on your feet, as well as sitting down.

Here's our top tips for taking care of yourself when working from home
- Take regular screen breaks to give your eyes a rest.
- Stretch your legs a few times a day, including a walk outside.
- Throw the curtains and windows open for some fresh air and sunlight.
- Keep your desk tidy and clutter-free.
- Stay hydrated by keeping a drink at your side all day.
- Stay active with some indoor exercise - anyone for chair yoga?
- Create a harmonious atmosphere with soothing scents and faux plants.
- Arrange social events with colleagues, like a virtual coffee break or quiz.
