FAQs

Is an ergonomic chair worth it for working from home?

Yes. A proper ergonomic chair prevents back pain, improves posture, and pays for itself in comfort if you sit for 6+ hours a day.

What features matter most in an ergonomic chair?

Adjustable lumbar support, seat depth adjustment, and armrest height. Mesh backs are better for breathability in warmer UK homes.

How long do ergonomic chairs last?

A quality chair lasts 5–10 years with daily use. Budget chairs under £150 typically last 2–3 years before the cushion compresses.
