Do armrests on an ergonomic chair actually matter?

They matter more than most people realize — each arm weighs roughly 5–8 lbs, and without proper armrest support your shoulders and neck muscles carry that load continuously, which is a direct cause of tension headaches and upper back pain. The fix is armrests set to the right height so your shoulders can fully relax with elbows near 90°; too high and your shoulders hike up, too low and you slump forward. Multi-directional (4D) armrests give you the most adjustment flexibility. Check the full armrest specs on any model at FindOfficeFurniture.com or call 888-719-4960.
