How do I properly test an ergonomic chair before buying?

If testing in a showroom, bring your actual workday: test with arms at keyboard height, check lumbar contact in your normal sitting position, and try the forward tilt if you tend to lean in. Sit for at least 10–15 minutes — first-minute comfort is very different from sustained comfort. Check every adjustment mechanism to make sure it moves smoothly and locks positively. If buying online without testing, verify return policy and look for manufacturers that offer trial periods.
