Why does lumbar support matter so much on an executive chair?

When you sit without lumbar support, the natural inward curve of your lower spine (L1–L5) slowly flattens and reverses — compressing discs and fatiguing the muscles that hold your spine upright. A good executive chair's lumbar support fills that curve and keeps your spine in its natural lordotic position throughout the day. On quality chairs, both the height and depth of the lumbar support are adjustable, which matters because that curve sits at a different height for different people. FindOfficeFurniture.com specifies whether lumbar is fixed or adjustable on every product — call 888-719-4960.
