Sizes
Venture into your local office furniture store and you immediately notice that the vast array of ergonomic desk chairs available on the market today vary significantly in design and material. Particularly with seat types, you'll find some with moderately contoured seats, larger "stretch" seats that are suited for taller individuals, and "petite" seat types that are designed with smaller people in mind. Although it might be tempting to purchase the biggest, executive-style desk chair available, choosing a chair that has an appropriately sized seat type will ultimately feel more comfortable.

For example, the 756 Petite Secretary Mid Task ergonomic chair is designed with a smaller-framed person in mind, which allows the individual's weight to be evenly distributed so that leg muscles remain relaxed. This chair is particularly suited for anyone under five feet four inches tall and whose weight is less than three hundred pounds.
Other options include choosing a flat, non-contoured ergonomic chair that evenly distributes your weight, or a mild task back for your chair, which provides more support for the mid back. Regardless of the seat type, a truly executive office desk chair will offer several adjustable features, such as the armrest, height of chair, and angle of the seat back, all of which significantly aid in achieving maximum comfort.
There are a large number of options and features available today in the world of ergonomic desk chairs. While shape, color, and material can be a factor in your choice, always be sure to try out the chair and determine whether or not it is a good match with your body type. After all, you're going to be doing a lot of sitting on it. Remember that it is not necessary for any person to have to make a spot decision. You can go to a number of stores or suppliers to try out the chair. Only when you are satisfied that the chair you admire is the one for you should you place a reserve on the model. Find the perfect model for you does take a little extra time and trouble.
