About Us

There are multiple kinds of office chairs designed to suit different needs. The most basic is the task chair, which typically does not offer lumbar support or a headrest. These chairs generally cannot be sat in for more than a couple hours at a time without becoming uncomfortable, though they often offer more room to move than higher-end chairs.

Mid-back chairs offer fuller back support, and with the right ergonomic design, can be sat in for four hours at a time or longer. High-end chairs in this category, such as the Herman Miller Aeron, are comfortable for long periods.

Executive or full-back chairs offer full back and head support. Many executive chairs are designed to be sat in for eight or more hours at a time. These are typically the most expensive office chairs.

Over time office chairs wear out and break.[5] Seat cushions may lose their softness or become discolored and are not repairable.[5] Casters can stop spinning and scrape or carve grooves into the floor.[5] These are a standard part and can be re-lubricated[6] or replaced inexpensively.[7] The gas cylinder used for height adjustment may leak and provide no support.[5] This can be repaired using a replacement gas cylinder or by providing support through other means.[8] The chair armrests may break or come loose; these can be repaired or replaced as well.[6]
