What is the best way to sit in in my office chair?
Poor posture can cause a lot of pain and it is something that many office workers experience throughout their career. Therefore, it's incredibly important to be aware of your posture throughout your working day. Good posture can improve your mood and self-confidence as well as improving your physical health. This is how you should sit in a chair properly:
- Use the height adjustment feature on the seat so that your feet are flat on the floor and your knees are in line with (or just below) your hips
- Sit up straight and keep your hips pushed back in the chair
- Position the back of the seat so that it is at a 100- to 110-degree angle. You should also make sure that your upper and lower back are supported. You can do this by using small pillows or back supports.
- If you work at a computer screen, make sure you are sitting at least 20 inches away from the screen
- Relax your shoulders and keep them from rising toward your ears or rounding forward during the day

Dams Vantage 100 Operator Chair With No Arms
fair price for the product
Service and item purchased. Delivery not so great! You book a delivery date on website and delivery company call to confirm date. I missed the call but called them straight back but couldn't get hold of anybody and no answering service. This resulted in not being able to deliver on my chosen day! There's no point choosing a day if you then have to choose a on the phone in my opinion. Other than that, I'm happy with my purchase.
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave great feedback on our service. I am sorry that the delivery was a little frustrating for you, but I'm afraid that so close to Christmas the couriers were under immense pressure with their deliveries and were struggling to keep up with the high demand. Under normal circumstances I can assure you that they are fantastic.

Teknik Goliath Chair
Great chair but product details were wrong as it stated 35 stone as maximum weight but it’s actually 27 stone.

Teknik Goliath Duo Chair
I added was was said above.
I paid for next day delivery, and it arrived as expected. It's a good strong, heavy duty chair that I was looking for. I'm a large man, and the width of the chair is bigger than most other office chairs, and the weight capacity is 170kg, which is a bonus for me.
All in all, no problems for me.

Gentoo Portland III Task Chair
I had a custom made chair via access to work when I was in paid work, I am funding this chair so couldn't stretch to an inflatable back so this chair is a good compromise.

Teknik Goliath Duo Chair
Chair is wide and seems so fr to be strong. However, it does not rise enough for an office desk chair, and the padded head support is far too low down and digs in your upper back if you are tall (the chair is allegedly for taller users). Also I'm not convinced it is actually leather...
