No chair fits everyone automatically. Adjust support for your feet, back and relaxed shoulders, keep the keyboard within easy reach, and avoid remaining still for long periods.

Your try-it-at-home checklist

0 / 6 done

Adjust seat height so both feet are supported flat on the floor; use a stable footrest if the chair cannot go low enough.
Check that the backrest supports your lower back's natural curve. Adjust its height or depth if the design allows.
Ensure the seat edge is not pressing into the backs of your knees and your thighs are comfortably supported.
Set armrests so the shoulders can relax and the forearms are lightly supported. Reposition them if they prevent you getting close to the desk.
Bring the keyboard and mouse within comfortable reach and face the monitor without turning or craning your neck.
Change posture and stand or walk regularly. Seek professional assessment if pain or numbness persists instead of relying on adjustments alone.
