5 things to look for when buying an ergonomic chair

Making the right choice now will save you and your spine in the long run.

There’s an old saying that goes, “invest in your shoes and your sheets because if you’re not in one, you’re in the other.” After almost two years of working from home, we can safely add a third pillar to that proverb: your home office chair.

Since the pandemic started, complaints of eye strain, headaches, and musculoskeletal pain like back aches and tense shoulders have become commonplace. This is mainly due to poorly set up home workstations, involving desks and chairs that are not designed for the long hours spent in use.

So, if you’re still set up at the dining room table or working from a decades-old swivel chair for hours each day, it’s time to change things up and invest in an ergonomic chair… your back will thank you.

Created by people just like us who spend long hours seated at a desk, the ErgoTune Supreme has got your back. Literally. It’s been dubbed the “perfect work-from-home chair,” and for good reason. Affordable, comfortable, innovative – this dream chair ticks all the boxes.

Here are five non-negotiables to look for when buying an ergonomic chair…

1. Multiple adjustability points

True comfort can only be achieved when a chair is tailored to your unique body shape, but this doesn’t mean you need to be spending thousands on a custom-made chair. The ErgoTune Supreme is intelligently designed to fully conform to your body, making sitting a heavenly experience. It does this with a whopping 11 points of adjustability from top to bottom, so every body type can enjoy that perfect ergonomic fit. From the headrest, backrest, and armrest, to the seat’s height, depth and recline levels, this chair is made to be extremely adaptable – even taking into account our activities and movements throughout the day to provide supreme comfort.

2. Built-in lumbar support

If you’re experiencing lower back pain, or noticing you’ve been slouching throughout the day, chances are your chair does not provide enough lumbar support. The lumbar region, also known as your lower back, needs support between the chair and the natural inward curve of your spine to help you maintain a good and healthy posture. Without lumbar support, the natural tendency is to either slouch or lean forward, forcing the muscles in your back to work even harder to support your spine’s correct alignment, which tires them out.

ErgoTune’s built-in lumbar support, ATLAS™ Auto Tuning Lumbar Area Support, shifts simultaneously with your body to automatically fit your lumbar spine’s natural curve, taking the pressure off your lower back muscles so they can breathe a sigh of relief.

3. Mobile arm rests and headrest

Whether you’re typing, gaming, reading, drawing or using your phone, your arms and elbows will never be left hanging. Where most office chairs’ armrests have limited mobility, the ErgoTune’s GyroBrace™ 5D Armrest is freely rotatable and height-adjustable, able to pivot to 270 degrees to support every activity.

Plus, the ErgoTune Supreme’s TriTune™ 3D Support Headrest is height, depth, and tilt-adjustable up to 60 degrees for precision support of your neck and upper spinal columns.

4. High-quality upholstery

The right upholstery will add even more comfort and durability to your chair. Combining the best features of mesh and fabric, the ErgoTune is made using the DuraWeave™ Hybrid Mesh Upholstery. Crafted in Germany from a perfect 2:1 blend of fabric and polyester, the unique blend allows you to enjoy both the strength and breathability of mesh and comfort of cloth.

5. Peace of mind

Nobody wants to spend a bundle on a piece of furniture only to find it doesn’t look or feel right in your home… or worse, is broken after a few months. That’s why each ErgoTune comes with a risk-free 30-day return policy in Australia and an industry-leading 12-year warranty.

The latest version of the ErgoTune comes in 3 colours, Aqua Blue, Coral Red, and Charcoal Black. See what others are saying about it online.
