The Importance of Home Office Ergonomics
With the rise of remote work and secure cloud systems, more people than ever are working from home. What was once temporary has now become the new normal. While many enjoy the flexibility and comfort of a home office, poor home office ergonomics can quickly take a toll on your health and productivity.
Here’s why investing in an ergonomic home office chair matters:
- Most of us sit for 4–9 hours a day. 81% of us spend between four and nine hours a day seated at our desks. Our choice of chair will affect our comfort, concentration and well-being during every minute of that time.
- Non-ergonomic setups harm your health. Working from a sofa, bed or basic kitchen chair with your laptop for a day’s work has a negative impact on your health, productivity and well-being. Slouching while you work causes poor posture, headaches, neck strain, reduced concentration and musculoskeletal problems.
- Proper support improves productivity. An ergonomic chair for home use is designed to reduce physical strain, allowing you to stay focused and comfortable throughout the day.
- Postural alignment matters. Ergonomic home office chairs help maintain your spine’s natural curve, reduce pressure on joints and prevent long-term injuries.
- Movement is still essential. According to research from the British Heart Foundation, the average working adult in England is sedentary for 9.5 hours a day. So, as well as making an effort to stand up and move regularly, what you sit on is very important.
How to Choose the Best Ergonomic Home Office Chair
With so many ergonomic home office chairs available, it’s important to focus on what truly matters – adjustability, support and fit.
Experts agree that the best ergonomic chair for home office use should be highly adjustable and tailored to your specific body needs. Look for features such as:
- Lumbar support
- Seat height adjustment
- Backrest tilt
- Armrest customisation.
If you struggle with lower back pain, choose a model with extra lower-back padding. Or try our Chair Builder, which generates a personalised, prescription-style ergonomic home office chair based on your body measurements and usage habits.
You might think any chair will do – your kitchen chair or sofa, for instance – but that’s a common mistake. According to the Centre for Ergonomics and Human Factors at La Trobe University, household chairs are often too low and lack the support required for extended computer use. Working from your sofa or dining table may seem convenient but can lead to long-term discomfort.
