The best computer chair is one that supports your body in the most natural and neutral position, according to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. The chair should be stable and adjustable to fit your size. A good computer chair for posture supports your lower back and has armrests at waist level. Five-point bases are best for stability, and the cushion should be at least 1 inch wider than your thighs and hips.
IronHorse
IronHorse manufactures a full line of ergonomic office chairs. The chairs are designed to serve computer users who spend long hours in the chairs and demand comfort and suitability. The big and tall line of chairs is built to accommodate users as large as 500 lb. and is guaranteed for five years. Chairs have a 29-inch base with five spokes made of cast aluminum. Armrests are fully adjustable, and the headrests are articulating, providing options for head and neck movement throughout the day. Backrests have lumbar support and flexibility to adjust with the user as he moves through various tasks.
KAB
Researchers at the Cornell University Ergonomic Center report that ergonomically correct chairs have an adjustable backrest that moves with the user. KAB chairs are designed for intensive use and are fully adjustable. All of their products are made of welded steel and top-grade leather. The lumbar supports are air-filled to provide orthopedic support with a wide range of adjustability. The top-line executive chair features eight inflatable air cushions for customized support. Anatomically contoured seats are made with high-density Wonderfoam to prevent fatigue and seat deformity.
BodyBilt
Ergonomic researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles recommend BodyBilt for its various departments. ErgoGenesis manufactures BodyBilt chairs individually to provide a custom fit. Chairs are available for petite users, who often have difficulty finding chairs to fit their frames, as well as for larger users, over 300 lb. The company produces chairs for people taller than 6-foot-3, in addition to 24-hour task chairs and mid-back task chairs with additional support for computer users.
Herman Miller
Herman Miller is another chair recommended by UCLA ergonomic instructors. Herman Miller is known for its ergonomically correct Aeron chair, which is fully adjustable for different users. The patented PostureFit design is meant to support and protect the lumbar and the natural tilt of the pelvis when sitting. The woven seats and backs have no padding, alleviating the wear and tear that most chairs receive. Chairs are made of nearly two-thirds recycled material and come with a 12-year warranty.
