Ergonomic Chair: 8 Adjustments You Need

Ergonomic Chair: 8 Adjustments You Need

By Ryan Tanaka ·

1. Seat Height

Feet flat on floor, thighs parallel. Knees at 90 degrees. Hips slightly above knees.

2. Seat Depth

Leave 2-4 inches between seat edge and back of knees.

3. Lumbar Support

The curve should sit at your lower back (L3-L5 vertebrae). Adjustable height and depth.

4. Backrest Recline

Slight recline (100-110 degrees) reduces spinal pressure.

5. Armrest Height

Arms at 90 degrees, shoulders relaxed.

6. Armrest Width

Adjustable width lets arms hang naturally.

7. Headrest

Position at the base of your skull, not pushing head forward.

8. Tilt Tension

Adjust resistance so reclining requires light effort.
