Ergonomic Chairs — Expert Answer

What's the right way to adjust an ergonomic chair when you first sit in it?

Work through the adjustments in this order: first set seat height so your feet rest flat on the floor with thighs roughly parallel; then adjust seat depth to leave two to four inches between the seat's front edge and the back of your knees; position lumbar support so it contacts the inward curve of your lower back with gentle firm pressure; set the backrest angle to a comfortable 100–110 degrees of recline; dial tilt tension to feel slight resistance when you lean back; and finally, bring armrests to elbow height with forearms parallel to your desk surface. Getting these in the right sequence matters — starting with seat height anchors all the other adjustments correctly.
