As a seller of office chairs, I am frequently asked by my customers about computer chair designs and what posture is the best for sitting. Some of these workers have been given a very high-end ergonomic custom-made chair at their office and are wondering if there is really any difference between it and your standard task chair. Some people complain about the curvature of some guest side or reception lounge chairs at some office environments, finding themselves uncomfortable in minutes. by Amy Pedersen

Today’s problem with office chairs some say, is that we have been forced into a “table and chair” culture where many of our daily tasks take place in this right angled and seated position. This sort of sitting can force the body into a slumped or “c” shaped position putting uneven pressure on the vertebral disks and muscles of the lower back. With time and being seated in your office chair over long periods each day, the spine can become deformed and erode disks, making it hard to retrain to the proper posture for sitting. by Amy Pedersen
