In this world where just everyone seems to be in a constant state of tension and stress, it is important that we take care of ourselves where it matters. We can admit to ourselves that the reason why we are constantly stressed is likely to be the hectic schedules in our busy careers. True, true. But then, have you ever thought of how your office chair affects you?
Today, if you look at the market for office chairs, you will see that most if not all of them are advertised to be designed in an ergonomically correct way. These kinds of work chairs are designed with the human body in mind, aiming to help improve its user's health conditions and correct the possible health problems he is suffering.
Adjustable Height Casters
Some of these common health problems include incorrect body posture and poor blood circulation. Sitting on ergonomic chairs can dramatically improve your health and even your work productivity. But not all ergonomic office chairs are the same. You need to choose one that will really fit you best. Difficult? Let me help you with this list of the top rated ergonomic work chairs in the market.
Office Star Deluxe Ergonomic Chair
For just below 0, you can already have a leather executive chair that is not only affordable and comfortable but ergonomically correct as well. Like a normal ergonomic office chair, this has an adjustable seat height and arm rest. You can also customize the chair according to how you would want it to recline by adjusting the tilt tension.
The Office Star Deluxe comes with a high back and a thick, wide cushion and many people say it is a surprisingly good chair for its surprisingly low price. It is well constructed and guarantees superior comfort to its users. The leather though is not high grade (hence the price) but people who have already tried it insists you can hardly feel the difference.
It lacks the other cool adjustments you can find in other much more expensive ergonomic work chairs but it is good enough with its basic but essential features. The Office Star Deluxe also offers a shorter warranty as compared to the more expensive ones. The warranty covers one year on the upholstery, two years on its moving parts and five years for the non-moving parts.
Ergo Mesh Medium Back Task Chair
Priced even lower than the previous ergonomic office chair discussed at just 0, the Ergo Mesh task chair is perfect for people with tight budgets but really want to own a good ergonomic work chair. This is recommended for newly built companies and offices that are just starting to grow. You can easily buy many pieces of these without getting bankrupt.
The Ergo Mesh task chair has a mesh back (hence the name) and an adjustable seat with molded foam/ It also has an adjustable seat height and armrests as well as swivel, tilt and tension functions. Users testified that the chair is really comfortable to use. However, it is a task chair, an entry level office chair so when you decide this is the one that fits your budget, you should not expect it to look like expensive executive work chairs.
So for those who are just starting to open their offices or those who are slowly expanding their businesses, this may be the best ergonomic office chair for you. You will be able to save money but the users of the chairs will be comfortable and productive.
Steelcase Leap
Contrary to the first two ergonomic work chairs discussed, the Steelcase Leap is priced a lot higher. Having a price of at least 0, this office chair belongs to the high end category. This ergonomic work chair has a sliding seat and a flexible back that are both upholstered. The flexible back conforms to the natural contour of the spine so you can recline easily without having to pull away from your desk.
More padding has been added to the Steelcase Leap. The fabric version weighs around 45 pounds while the leather version, priced at ,200 weighs around 60 pounds. A lifetime warranty is offered by Steelcase for this office chair, but the warranty for the fabric is just 3 years while the warranty for the seating mechanisms only lasts up to 10 years.
Herman Miller Aeron
You can consider the name Herman Miller as a giant in the ergonomic chair industry. This model, the Herman Miller Aeron costs at least 0 and has won the most number of awards among all the other office chairs in history. Some people contend that it no longer suits today's times but many people will still back up that the Aeron is the best chair. Ever.
It comes with more adjustments than the regular chair, such as adjustment for lumbar depth, lumbar height, seat height, seat-pan angle, tilt tension, armrest height and armrest angle. Rather than fabric, the Aeron is manufactured using Pellicle mesh and does not come in a standard size but in three sizes. People who are too small or too big prefer getting an Aeron because one size will surely fit them well.
The Aeron also has a warranty of 12 years. If you have the money for it, you will never go wrong with the Herman Miller Aeron which has been giving great service to people since 1994. The only negative aspect of this ergonomic office chair is that, well, it is expensive.

Black Friday HumanScale Freedom Gel Chair F213 with Headrest New GEL Seat Graphite Wave Fabric Advanced Height Adjustable Duron Arms Standard Chair Height Graphite Frame with Standard Casters Overview
HUMANSCALE FREEDOM GEL CHAIR + Advanced Adjustable Duron Arms - Winner of 10 design awards to date-including the Design Distinction Award in the prestigious ID Design Review 2000 competition-the Freedom chair by Niels Diffrient has revolutionized the task chair industry. Its weight-sensitive recline, synchronously adjustable armrests, and dynamically positioned headrest set new standards for task chair performance and functionality to keep the sitter exceptionally comfortable while also lowering the risk of long-term injury. The Freedom chair is designed to give the maximum ergonomic benefit to the sitter with a minimum number of manually adjusted controls. Once the chair is fitted, no further adjustment is required. The idea is that movement, which is essential for a healthy body, shouldn't be constricted by locking mechanisms and manual controls. In other words, sitting comfortably isn't something you should have to think about. The Freedom chair was designed specifically to encourage frequent, spontaneous changes of position. There are no locks and no tension springs to negotiate. Instead, there are elegant mechanisms that automatically support your body in every position you'll assume throughout the day. Headrests are added to chairs because your head needs support when you recline, which is why people without headrests put their hands behind their heads when they lean back. The dynamic, position sensitive headrest on Freedom cradles your head and neck as you recline and moves out of the way when you sit upright automatically! Made predominantly of aluminum, followed by steel and plastic. Contains 62% recycled content (43% post-consumer, 19% pre-consumer) 90% recyclable. Made of 132 parts (comparable chairs are made of up to 250 parts). Modular cushions for easy replacement. Ships in 85% recycled packaging, or blanket-wrapped when feasible.
