How much do office ergonomic chairs costs?

As a large majority of people spend a considerable about of time glued to their office chairs, it is wise to invest in a good ergonomically designed office chair. However, an office chair that is labeled “ergonomic” may not necessarily be the ideal one for you.

Therefore, I highly recommend that you do adequate research on the various options available, the adjustment features and compare the price before arriving at your choice.

An ergonomically designed chair must fulfill the following prerequisites:

• Provide adequate support to the natural S shape of the spine and prevent slouching.
• Allow your feet to rest comfortably on the ground in order to promote blood circulation and avoid any pain.
• Allows you to reach the keyboard without excessive stretching of the wrist, neck or shoulders.
• Allows you to sit in a position that is at an eye level with your desktop or laptop screen.

With so many features to look out for one can be rest assured that office ergonomic chairs costs are not low. Therefore, it is important to first prepare a budget in your mind and then choose an office chair that provides optimum value for the money paid.

Good quality ergonomically designed chairs start from $150 and can range up to $2,000. The office chairs in the price range of $150-$400 do provide some of the desirable features.

Office chairs that are priced $30-$100 do not provide adequate support and lack many features even though they are labeled “ergonomic”. While some of the office chairs available in the low range segment offer some adjustable features, they do not last a long time.

As working people spend around 40 hours in a week, I suggest that one must be prepared to spend an extra dollar on a chair that will benefit their health in the long run.
