Ergonomic Chairs — Expert Answer

What is the correct armrest height setting on an ergonomic chair?

The correct armrest height is where your forearms rest naturally with your shoulders relaxed and elbows bent at 90°–100° — the armrest should just barely support the forearm without pushing the shoulder up. When using a keyboard, the armrests should be at the same height as the keyboard surface or 1" below so you can slide in close without the armrests bumping the desk. Most users set their armrests too high, which causes persistent shoulder tension. If you can't get the armrests low enough to achieve a relaxed shoulder, try removing them temporarily and seeing if shoulder pain improves.
