Executive Chairs — Expert Answer

How do I adjust an executive chair for optimal seated posture?

Start from the bottom up: (1) Set seat height so your feet rest flat on the floor and thighs are roughly parallel to the ground. (2) Adjust seat depth (if adjustable) so there's 2"–3" between the front seat edge and the back of your knees. (3) Adjust lumbar support height so the pad aligns with the curve of your lower back (typically around belt level). (4) Set tilt tension so you can recline slightly with moderate resistance. (5) Adjust armrests so your shoulders are relaxed and elbows are near 90 degrees when typing. (6) If a headrest is present, set it to support the base of your skull without pushing your head forward.
