How to Choose the Best Chair for Back Pain (Ergonomic Seat)

Did you know that in the United States, over 65 million people report a recent episode of back pain, and 16 million experience chronic pain severe enough to interfere in daily life? Whether you are an office worker with an 8-hour workday, a gamer doing long sessions, or a senior with concerns about poor posture, there is more to your chair than you may ever think. 

When there is an ergonomic nightmare with bad body posture, it allows spinal misalignment, loads the lower back, and fatigues muscles. A chair is more than being comfortable - it is an important decision for your health.

In this guide, we will tell you exactly how to pick the right chair for back pain relief, what causes sitting back pain & what chair features really help. 

We’ll also uncover the features you should expect from the best chair for back pain — whether you’re an office professional clocking long hours, a gamer chasing high scores, a petite senior seeking gentle support, or a taller, heavier user needing extra space and stability.

From top-level designs to intricately designed products, each recommendation focuses on comfort for your spine, ongoing postural support, and long-term health. 

We will also share real live user input, and expert perspectives and corroboration so you can sit smarter, live healthier, but also helping you literally, put your best seat forward ensuring you prevent back pain.

Why Back Pain Isn’t Just a Minor Issue Anymore

A large number of individuals underestimate how dangerous it is to sit for longer periods of time. Experts in medicine are telling us that prolonged sitting weakens your core muscles and misaligns your spine thereby increasing pressure on discs and joints. 

One spine surgeon explains that slouching or leaning forward “can pull the spine out of its natural alignment” and create stiffness and chronic pain. Another study out of UCLA describes how poor sitting posture over lengthened periods of time increases ligament strain and overstretched ligaments on discs and that it "can damage spinal structures."

The effects of cumulative exposure to sitting correctly are not trivial. Back pain not only is a significant contributor to disability in the workplace, but it accounts for 83 million missed workdays alone in the U.S.

So, a day in the wrong chair doesn't mean that you won't be affected: it just means that you will have aching lower back, sore neck & fatigued shoulders the next day. The good news is that an ergonomic chair built around you can mitigate those negative consequences.

The right chair supports your spine in its natural curves and encourages correct posture so that the potential for back problems is either prevented or significantly minimized. We're going to show you how to identify these key features.

What Causes Back Pain From Sitting?

Back pain at work or home rarely, if ever, just happens. It happens over time as the combination of these factors can strain the lower spine:

Lack of lumbar support

A chair that provides no lumbar support allows your spine to collapse into a C-shape. Slouching stretches the back ligaments and adds excess stress to the spinal discs.

Fixed or non-adjustable seats

Chairs that don't really adjust for height, depth or tilt lock you into a position. If your knees are too high or low, or your seat is too deep, you tend to either slide forward or kind of hunch your body. You're misaligned and putting stress on your hips and lower back.

Bad posture

Leaning forward toward your screen (by 15-30°) increases load on your spine (up to 49-60 lbs on the neck at 45-60° of tilt). Over hours of sitting, this “text neck” posture results in upper back tension and lower back sagging.

Prolonged static sitting

When you sit in one position for 6–8 hours, your muscles become fatigued, and circulation slows. "Spending 6 to 8 hours a day in a chair that does not support your body in its natural position" can misalign your spine while also increasing the pressure on spinal discs leading to chronic pain. The muscles that are normally activated when you shift positions of movement become weak and overworked when sitting without change.

Poor match for body size

A chair that is either too large (deep seat or high back) or too small (narrow seat) will create awkward angles for your body. For instance, a petite person may not really hit the backrest properly and a tall user may have feet dangling off the edge - either way strain is building in the hips, glutes, and lower back.

Any regular, size universal chair is likely to exacerbate these problems. Research on ergonomic seating suggests that the worst chairs allowed the lumbar spine to flatten out and the pelvis to tilt backwards. 

Over time the result is likely to be degenerative changes or prolonged muscle strain in comparison to well-designed chairs that address each of these causes to facilitate the S-curve of the spine.

How an Ergonomic Chair Can Help Manage Back Pain

A true ergonomic chair isn't just “comfortable"-it actively corrects posture and reduces stress on your body. 

A properly designed ergonomic chair will:

• Solve issues with the natural curvature of your spine: Curved lumbar support provides adjustable lumbar support that keeps your spine aligned by maintaining the slight inward curve in your lower back region (the lordosis). Clinical studies have proven that lumbar support reduces pressure on the discs and maintains the curves of the spine and decreases tension on the spinal ligaments and nerves.
• Align your hips and knees: Proper seat height, as well as reasonable seat depth, will allow your feet to be flat on the ground with your thighs roughly parallel with the ground, distributing weight evenly across your hips. This also allows for proper hip/knee angle to tilt your pelvis slightly forward (to engage your core muscles) rather than slump backward.
• Relieve pressure on your lower back: features like a waterfall seat edge (front of the seat slopes down) and tailored to avoid hard edges digging into your thighs. When combined with lumbar support and seat depth adjustment, you can avoid pinching the back of your knees or compressing your tailbone.
• Reduces neck and shoulder tension: An adjustable headrest and armrests that can go up, down, left, and right eliminate stress at shoulder and neck. When you can have your arms and head supported, it keeps the upper back from rounding. Keeping the collar muscles & shoulders relaxed after long periods of being in a seated position helps relieve any previously developed stress.
• Improves circulation and alertness: Ergonomic chairs usually have rocking or reclining features available for you to change position throughout the workday. Simply moving / reclining from time-to-time helps to blood flow & keeps muscle fatigue and thus tiredness to a minimum. Breathable mesh or cloth fabric upholstery can also be helpful in helping to keep you less hot (because heat can lead you to slump & create restless moments). 

To reiterate, the right type of chair is supportive of relational aspects of health (by keeping every part of your body in a better position). Users report that when they keep their core engaged putting their spine in an upright S position, and lower back supported, that their past aches and pains begin to lessen. 

I know of one remote worker who claimed, “My back pain went away in a week after I started using the EP460, the dynamic/multi-directional lumbar support is a game changer.” By purchasing a good, adjustable and cushioned chair you give your spine a fighting chance, against hours of being seated!

Essential Chair Features for Preventing and Relieving Back Pain

Comprehending what qualifies as a true back-supporting chair will undoubtedly assist you in making a more judicious investment in the future health of your spine. Be it a chair for an office or a throne for gaming, the following basic features are essential for your next chair:

1. Adjustable Lumbar Support

A static chair back can't account for your unique spine curve. Look for:

• Height-adjustable lumbar pillow
• Knob-controlled depth adjustment
• Dynamic/multi-directional lumbar zones that move as you shift

Chairs like the Boulies EP460 & OP300 offer real-time lumbar support adjustments tailored to your posture.

2. Seat Height & Depth Customization

Why it matters:

• Your feet should rest flat on the floor
• Thighs should remain parallel with a 2-inch gap behind the knees
• Shallow or deep seats can cause hip pressure or leg circulation issues

Boulies Master Max offers deep seating with plush cushioning perfect for taller users.

3. Forward Tilt Function

One of the most overlooked features for typing posture and desk ergonomics.

Benefits:

• Promotes an active sitting posture
• Reduces slouching
• Minimizes spine compression

Available in: OP300 and OP180

4. High-Density Cold-Cure Foam

Why it works:

• Retains shape longer than cheap memory foam
• Distributes weight evenly across hips and lower back
• Avoids sagging and misalignment after long use

All Boulies ergonomic chairs, including the EP200, feature durable cold-cured foam.

5. Recline & Rocking Tilt Lock

This feature allows your spine to decompress during breaks:

• Reduces spinal disc pressure
• Allows motion while maintaining posture
• Encourages better blood circulation
• Ideal recline angle range: 100°–135°
• Deep recline angle range: Up to 165° (Master Max)

6. Breathable & skin friendly upholstery

A hot, sticky back can lead to a skin rash or slouching.

Look for:

• Water-repellent woven fabric for airflow
• Ultraflex PU leather for a luxurious feel without overheating
• Optional suede or mesh

See Boulies’ fabric options on the Master Series page.

The Science Behind Ergonomic Chair Design

Research in ergonomics helps to explain why all of these elements matter. The healthy spine has an “S-curve” as observed from the side. Well-designed lumbar support maintains the lower curve; if unfairly supported, the spine collapses into a “C,” pinching tissues. 

A forward seat tilt maintains the lordosis (forward curve) and doesn't allow the pelvis to rotate back. Armrests and headrests promote alignment and prevent slumping of the shoulders and neck.

When leaning back into the chair, the load is transferred away from the discs of your spine to the backrest. This can reduce load on your spine by almost 10%. Even slight and regular reclining (say 120°) promotes circulation through your debris and your muscles. 

On average, studies have found that workers who have a well-designed chair will report 30–40% less back pain after just a couple of weeks. Over the course of several months, the reductions in pain become permanent - another review of studies found that there were significantly fewer absences for back-related work absences among employees with ergonomically optimized seating.

To put it simply, an ergonomic chair allows your body to function as designed: engaged, aligned, and moving; counteracting the mechanical stresses of sitting. Once you take into account the biomechanics of sitting, you can see an investment in a high-quality ergonomic chair is essentially an investment in your health and productivity.

Best Chairs for Office Workers with Back Pain

Why Office Workers Suffer from Chronic Back Pain

Office professionals often spend 8+ hours at a desk. Spending 8+ hours at a desk each and every day, means the typical suspect for lower back pain is 8+ hours of no lumbar support. The greatest contributor to their back pain is spending that full time in a primarily static, unsupportive chair. 

Long time spent sitting still in a rigid or poorly supportive chair will compress the spine in a poor posture and cause muscle fatigue. The key to prevent long term damage is: sitting in an ergonomic office chair that has adjustable features for motion, posture alignment/activation, and pressure relief/management.

🪑 Recommended: Boulies EP460 Ergonomic Office Chair

Why it’s perfect for office workers:

• Multi-directional lumbar support that auto-adjusts with movement
• Synchronized tilt mechanism keeps your spine aligned while reclining
• 4D adjustable armrests to reduce shoulder and wrist strain
• High-density cold-cured foam for long-day pressure relief
• Upright lock & multi-tilt lock system for ideal tasking positions

“The EP460 completely changed my work-from-home experience. I can now sit 10 hours straight without back soreness.” — Sarah, Software Engineer

This feedback is typical: Boulies office chairs are praised for relieving low back pain by supporting a neutral posture. In short, for typical desk jobs, the EP series (especially the EP460) leads the way.

Best Chairs for Gamers & Long Gaming Sessions

How Long Gaming Sessions Harm Your Back

Gamers frequently spend hours sitting with fixed posture, leaning forward under the pressure of high-intensity gaming. That leaning posture provides a recipe for upper back tension, neck stiffness, and lower back fatigue. A good gaming chair should offer both comfort and aggression in adjustability with full-body support.

🪑 Recommended: Boulies Master Series (Master & Master Max) Gaming Chair

The Master Series (Master & Master Max) is another top-tier Boulies choice for long sits. Many professional gamers and creatives turn to the Master Series for its balanced design – it blends the durability of an office chair with the style of a gaming seat.

Why it’s perfect for gamers:

• Integrated, adjustable lumbar support built into the seat back
• Recline angle up to 165° to relax between sessions
• Aluminum base & reinforced frame for durability
• Soft cold-cured foam with vegan leather for premium comfort
• PU-coated 4D armrests to keep your wrists in a natural position

🎮 Gamer Feedback:

 “The Master Max not only improved my posture, but the comfort during 8-hour streaming sessions is unreal.” — Kevin M., Gamer & Remote Worker

Small-Space Ergonomics for Petite Users or the Elderly

The Problem: Standard Chairs Don’t Fit All Bodies

Standard office or gaming chairs are too large, too deep, or too firm for small or aging users. When a proper fit can’t be achieved, poor posture is assumed to fit the chair, mobility is limited, and pressure on the spinal column is increased. A smaller and adjustable chair is a must for these individuals. We cannot all be average size, and standard chairs are often akin to a boat for smaller or older individuals. 

🪑Recommended: Boulies NUBI Series Adjustable Office Chair

The NUBI is made for smaller frames with limited space yet with no sacrifice in support. The seat cushion is made narrower and firmer to fit shorter legs, and the overall footprint of the chair is minimal. The Nubi has a unique contoured backrest with a weight-synchronized mechanism that auto-adapts the support based on where the user leans. 

You still get 3-level lockable recline (approx. 21° total), seat height adjustment, and seat depth sliding – it was designed so that anyone under 5’5″ can achieve an ergonomic seated position. The upholstery fabric is a smooth, breathable polymer (great for sensitive skin), while the foam cushion is a unique BioCurve™ cold-cure sponge providing gentle support.

For seniors, the low armrest and moderate seat height range make getting in and out of the chair an easy task. The wheels roll on most floors smoothly and the chair feels very stable and balanced. One NUBI user notes that it offers “full back support” and keeps the backrest aligned to the spine even after hours. If you or someone in your household is petite (or simply prefers a smaller chair), the Nubi helps avoid the drowning-in-chair feeling that larger models can cause.

“I prefer sitting straight at my desk, and this chair suits me perfectly... It allows me to get through a day of work without worrying about my back.” — Anonymous (Short User)

Heavy-Duty or Taller User Options

The Problem: Most Chairs Are Not Designed For The Big Body
Many users over 6 feet tall, or those users with larger builds, find themselves feeling cramped in regular-sized chairs. Their legs hang off, the back is too short, & pressure is not evenly distributed across their back & legs. This can lead to chronic issues with lower back pain, circulation & tightness in the hips.

🪑 Recommended-1: Boulies OP180 Series Office Chair 

The OP180 is slightly smaller than the OP300 but still robust. It supports up to 160 kg (350 lbs) and fits users around 5’8″–6’3″. Like the OP300, it offers a seat tilt function – you can tip the seat forward 2° or backward 10° while the backrest locks (from 79° upright to 103° reclined). 

This means you can lean into your work or lean back comfortably as needed. The OP180 also has an adjustable backrest height and seat depth (it spans 45.5–50 cm) to fit a range of leg lengths. Its steel-reinforced frame and thick base give extra durability.

🪑 Recommended-2: Boulies Master Series

Why it works for big & tall users:

• Wider seat & taller backrest
• Reinforced steel frame supports up to 300 lbs
• Advanced rocking & recline mechanics for smoother transitions
• Cold-cured foam cushioning with breathable fabric
• Thick seat base for balanced posture under weight

Tall customer review:

 “At 6’3” & 240 lbs, this is the first chair I have found that doesn’t pinch my legs or strain my back.”

Feature Comparison: Why Boulies Chairs Lead the Market

Boulies chairs deliver premium ergonomic features at competitive prices:

All Boulies chairs listed come with multi-tilt mechanisms and class-3 or class-4 gas lifts for smooth height adjustment. Forward tilt, available in Boulies OP-series chairs, is a rare ergonomic bonus even among high-end brands.

Why Boulies Outshines Premium Brands

• Forward tilt functionality — a rarity in even $1,000+ chairs — is available in the Boulies OP300 and OP180.
• Seat depth and lumbar adjustability — critical for back support — are standard in most Boulies chairs but missing in the Secretlab Titan Evo.
• Build quality and adjustability meet or exceed market leaders, at a fraction of the price.
• Compact ergonomic design (like the Boulies NUBI) gives smaller users full support without a bulky footprint.

Top Boulies Chairs for Back-Pain Relief

Boulies office and gaming chairs are built with many of these ergonomic principles in mind. Each Boulies model below incorporates features that target back support and posture. 

Now let’s highlight specific chairs from Boulies that incorporate these pain-relief features:

1. Boulies Master Series (Adjustable Computer Chair)

This premium Boulies Master chair combines lumbar support, full recline & multi-tilt mechanisms. It offers 8-way adjustable armrests & a built-in lumbar pad that can be moved vertically for perfect spine alignment. The chair reclines fully & locks at 15° rocking, letting you find a pain-free angle. 

Its thick waterfall seat and high back (with optional head cushion) cradle your hips and shoulders. One review notes the Master chair “supports the back and hands well while working on a desk”, highlighting its balanced support.

2. Boulies Master Rex

Master Rex adds a padded leg rest to the Master’s features. This integrated footrest allows you to elevate your legs while reclining, which decompresses the lower spine and hips. The Master Rex also has customizable lumbar support – you can move it up or down to suit your spinal curve. 

With a 95°–165° recline range & a stable 15° rocking lock, it lets you stretch out & relax while maintaining ergonomic support. Its rounded-edge seat cushion is designed to reduce pressure on your hips & thighs. In short, the Master Rex gives you all the ergonomic adjustability of the Master chair plus a leg rest for pressure-free reclining.

3. Boulies EP460 (Mesh Office Chair)

The EP460 is a breathable mesh chair with multiple comfort adjustments. It has a 3-level adjustable backrest height and an optimised adjustable lumbar support that you can precisely position. The chair also features seat depth adjustment, so you can slide the seat to properly support your thighs and back. 

An ergonomic headrest (pillow) can be moved up/down and angled to support your neck. Reviews praise how this chair “supports both my neck and lower back” and that the lumbar pillow supports the lower back nicely. In use, the EP460 keeps you cool with its Airy Chenille mesh and is ideal for long work sessions or leaning back for a rest (it even has an extendable footrest for quick breaks).

4. Boulies EP200 (Mesh Office Chair)

The EP200 is a slightly lighter-weight mesh chair that still offers robust adjustability. It includes adjustable seat depth and height for a custom fit, promoting better posture. A 3-level reclining backrest lets you lean back for comfort or forward for focus. Critically, it has an integrated lumbar support that moves up/down and in/out, making it easy to cradle your lower back exactly where needed. It also comes with an adjustable neck pillow to “eliminate long hours of neck pain”. 

The synthetic mesh construction provides breathability for all-day comfort. By combining these features, the EP200 fights fatigue and soreness during extended sitting. (One test review noted that the chair’s “backrest cradles both back and bum very nicely and the seat is supremely comfortable”.)

5. Boulies OP300 (Office Chair for Ergonomic Workplace)

Designed for a truly tailored fit, the OP300 has a variety of adjustments to fit different heights and preferences. Its backrest can recline and move forward, and is engineered to follow the spine’s natural curve to “help reduce strain on your back during long hours”. 

The OP300 features adjustable seat depth for optimal thigh support, and an adjustable headrest (height/angle) for neck support. It also provides a Multi Tilt Mechanism for customized tilt resistance The mesh/padded backrest is breathable yet supportive, and the seat cushion is contoured. 

With 6-way armrests that slide up/down/angle, you can keep your arms relaxed while typing. Users report that the OP300 is “very comfortable”, with “all the advertised features” perfectly functional – specifically noting that the “multi-adjustable headrest provides good neck support”.

6. Boulies OP180 (Office Chair)

The OP180 offers design simplicity and robust durability. It supports 160 kg with a heavy-duty tilt mechanism. The chair includes a seat tilt function that allows you to lean forward to work, or recline slightly to relax. It provides adjustable backrest height, seat depth, and seat height to accommodate short users to tall users. 

It allows you to adjust the backrest height (56–63cm) and the seat depth (45.5–50) so that your back and thighs are supported properly. The OP180 reclines up to 103°, with the option to lock in place at any angle between 79°–103° Also the armrests support your elbows (3D padding and adjustable in 3 dimensions).

The seat cushion is plush to “alleviate pressure on the tailbone” for all-day comfort. Its high-tension mesh back promotes airflow while giving firm support. Customers with back issues report that after a full day in the OP180, “my back feels so much better” – the mesh backrest “contours to my lower back” and prevents soreness.

7. Boulies NUBI (Task Chair)

The NUBI is a compact ergonomic chair designed for smaller spaces without sacrificing support. It uses an “advanced weight-synchronized mechanism” that lets the backrest recline smoothly up to 21°, automatically adjusting to your body. Critically, its backrest is “sculpted to conform to the natural curvature of the spine,” ensuring tailored back support. 

The NUBI offers adjustable seat depth (to align knees with the seat edge) so your legs stay comfortable. It uses Boulies’ “BioCurve™” foam cushion to evenly distribute pressure across your buttocks, reducing fatigue. The fabric is high quality, breathable (determined to be 80,000+ cycles), durable, and comfortable. 

The height adjustable armrests (on the full size NUBI) allow your arms to slide under your desk when you are not using them.  With these features, even its smaller frame provides full ergonomic support. One user with chronic back pain said NUBI “has made a huge difference” in comfort during long computer hours.

Each of these Boulies chairs integrates the ergonomic elements backed by science: movable lumbar support, customizable seating positions, and breathable materials. By adjusting to your body, they help keep your spine aligned and reduce pressure. In sum, choosing a Boulies chair means you’re selecting furniture engineered for back health, helping you sit better, feel better, and keep pain at bay.

Additional Recommendations for Comfort and Health

In addition to the chair itself, you will want to develop good sitting habits to gain the most benefit as well. Make you keep your feet flat - don't cross your legs & remember to stand/stretch often. Use lumbar cushions & footrests if you need to help adjust your posture. Regular movement (standing up or short, brief walking) is important for your spine. An ergonomic chair will support you when seated, just remember it can not replace breaks and exercise.

Lastly, fit is personal. Chairs are meant to be tried on (adjustable height and all). What fits me may not fit you and what fits you may not fit me. As one guide notes, once you've narrowed down your choices, let the actual user test out the chair at their actual workstation. A chair which adjusts well should allow you to sit upright with little effort.

Common Mistakes People Make When Buying a Chair

Even savvy shoppers slip up. Here are some traps to avoid:

Focusing Only on Aesthetics: 

Only aesthetic considerations: While that cool racing aesthetic or overly fancy lighting is great to see, it won't help your spine health without true adjustability. Many "gamer" chairs have the sporty looks but fail to have the ergonomic fundamentals. Make sure to look for the critical features (lumbar, tilt etc) before you purchase. 

✅ Tip: Balance looks with function. For instance, Boulies’ Master & Master Max blends gaming flair with a fully adjustable support.

Ignoring Your Height/Weight:
 
A chair labeled “one-size-fits-all” rarely is. A petite user (under 5’2″) will feel unstable in a giant seat; a 6’4″ person will slouch if the backrest is too short.

✅ Tip: Measure carefully. Compare chair dimensions and adjustability ranges with your own body. Boulies publishes user height/weight guides to help you pick (e.g. Master series: two sizes).

Buying Expensive Without Features:
 
Some premium brands charge high prices for name alone, but then offer less customization than cheaper models. If two chairs cost the same, check which has more adjustability points and better materials.

✅ Tip: Cross-Compare. You may discover a $400 Boulies chair has more options for fine-tuning your sitting position than a $1,200 luxury brand chair.

Overlooking Mobility and Ease-of-Use: 

It may be frustrating when you buy a chair that may not roll well because of poor casters or has a difficult adjustment mechanism. Mobility is necessary for active sitting.

✅ Tip: If you are able, test the castors (is it smooth on the carpet/floor?). You should be able to reach levers = check clearance. Boulies chairs include pneumatic lifts and quality wheels for fast, quiet mobility. 

By avoiding these mistakes and minding the ergonomics value you found, you will successfully pick a chair that supports your health.

Final Tips Before You Purchase

Before selecting “Add to Cart,” make sure you remember these practical suggestions:

• Measure your space and clearance: Ensure your chair can recline fully without running into a wall or piece of furniture and leaving ~2–3 feet behind your chair for a full recline is reasonable.
• Match your body size to the chair: You should compare your height/weight to the manufacturer's sizing chart and/or recommended range. A chair needs to align with your spine position – if it’s too small or too big you will lose the support of the chair.
• Adjustability is better than style: A pretty chair doesn’t mean anything without true ergonomics. When looking for a chair consider those that offer at least 3–4 adjustment zones (seat height, tilt, armrests, lumbar).
  Consider forward tilt if you type a lot: If you're prone to using a leaning, forward tilt for keyboard work, a forward-tilt chair (like the OP300/OP180) supports an active posture and reduces slumping.
• Read reviews and warranty: If you purchase through a trusted manufacturer, they should cover their parts for at least 2 years. Boulies chairs cover 2–3 years of parts on mechanisms and a 30-day satisfaction guarantee.
• Test it if you can: If you're able to try out a chair (even a similar model), be sure that your posture feels comfortable. You want your feet flat, knees at right angles (90° the more proper term), and while you want to feel supported and somewhat able to move, you also want to avoid slouching.

These steps are meant to avoid common mistakes. In fact, the research-based guides tell us that we should not pick style over function and ignore the adjustable features. A bit of advanced legwork will help avoid any money wasting and discomfort later!

Final Thoughts: Invest in Your Spine, Choose Wisely

When searching for the best chair for back pain, look for an ergonomic chair, one with lumbar support that follows the curve of your spine, multiple adjustability options (height, depth & tilt), head/arm supports etc. Also make sure the chair fits you & promotes good posture.

The Boulies EP460, EP200, OP300, OP180, NUBI and Master Series all have this standard with built-in lumbar cushions, flexible reclining mechanisms and support that adapts to you. 

With the right chair you can remove pressure on your back and allow your spine to stay in alignment, and experts have confirmed this “dramatically reduces back pain and improves quality of life”.

The wrong chair can really damage your back, productivity and overall health. The right chair - an ergonomic chair designed with adjustable lumbar, recline control, and premium cold-cure organic foam - can both prevent and even eliminate back pain for a long period of time.
