If you want your office to provide you with the ultimate convenience while impressing any visitors, you had better do your homework before you choose your chair. There are three main features you want to have in your next chair and this article discusses

First and foremost, you want comfortable seat that also allows your body to get some ventillation during the long hours your back is stuck on it. Mesh or some variation of it, is probably the best material in this regard. Leather or fabric coated chairs usually get very hot and cause extensive sweating and discomfort. These material used to have some benefits in old times when the heating of offices were not always optimum because they provide a great deal of insulation and can help you get warm if the room is cold. However with the effective heating systems in today’s offices, heat retention is far from being an advantage and is indeed a huge disadvantage. While these cover material can add a feeling of coziness or authority, mesh is the best choice if your primary concern is comfort.

The next thing that is a must for a good ergonomic chair is a wide range of adjustments. A simple office chair you can buy at the local store has a height adjustment for the seat. This is something you could not do without as different people have different seat height preferences for effectively working at a desk. Yet, ergonomic office chairs with better build quality can have many other options to change the way parts of the chair are positioned. For instance, one of the first ergonomic chairs in the market and one that is still accepted as the best ergonomic office chair allows the user to adjust the tilt, height and resistance of almost everything.

Finally, you need to thoroughly study the lumbar support feature of the chair you are eying. Lumbar support is a word that has been uttered all too often in recent years and that makes some people beliave it is an overrated feature or a marketing gimmick. In fact, it is underrated and something manufacturers of cheap office chairs wish to ignore. Those who have decent support for the back are usually referred to as the best chairs and cost much more than others.
