Q?

How do I determine the right chair for me?

A.

Trying out a chair is like trying on a new pair of shoes in that everyone's back is different in much the same way that everyone's feet are different. With that being said the best way to determine that is to try a few examples out for yourself. Having a feature set in mind is helpful for example, knowing your personal preferences for things like adjustable arms, fabric versus mesh etc. Also consider how many hours a day you'll be spending in this chair, what setting will this chair be in? Once you have some of these desired features in mind then you should have a good starting point to finding the perfect desk chair for you!
