Placement & Usage Tips
Position the ergonomic chair so your eyes are level with the top third of your monitor when seated. Adjust the seat height so your feet rest flat on the floor with thighs parallel to the ground, and set armrests so your shoulders remain relaxed while your elbows form a 90-degree angle.
💡 Pro Tip
After purchasing an ergonomic chair, spend 15 minutes methodically adjusting every setting rather than just the seat height. Start from the seat pan depth, then adjust the lumbar support, backrest angle, armrest height, and finally the headrest. Re-adjust after one week of use as your body will have provided feedback on what needs fine-tuning.
