Imagine: Halfway through your working day, your back feels as if it’s been struck by a truck. You shift your position in the chair to try and find that elusive sweet-spot of comfort. This sounds familiar. I’m sorry to say, but you’re certainly not alone. The right our site office chair for Singapore is just as crucial as a good cup of coffee.

Let’s first discuss lumbar assistance. It is the backbone, if you will (pun intended), of every good office chair. Without proper lumbar assistance, you will feel each bump in the road. Find chairs that feature adjustable lumbar assistance so you are able to customize the chair to fit your natural spine curve.

Next is adjustability. We are all different sizes and shapes – some of us taller than giraffes; others shorter like hobbits. An ideal chair for the office should be height-adjustable and include armrests. This will allow you to position the chair so your feet are on the ground and your hands form a L-shape while typing.

You can’t make me talk about swivel feet! Imagine being glued in place for the whole day. Doesn’t that sound torturous? A good swivel allows you to pivot easily between tasks without straining yourself.

As a personal example, I once purchased an office chairs because they looked good online. This was a huge mistake. In just a few days, my back began to scream louder than the lunch rush in a hawker’s center. Always test chairs before buying.

Let’s talk budget for a minute because wallets (if only!) don’t grow in trees. You may be tempted to buy a cheap chair, but an office-chair is an investment into your health and productivity. Spending extra money now could save you hundreds of dollars in future chiropractor bills.

Don’t let your aesthetics take over from functionality. While we’d all like our workspace to look sharp enough for Marie Kondo to admire, prioritizing comfort will always win out.

Consider seat depth adjustments, never undervalue swivel bases, test before buying if possible. Balance budget between quality and cost.

Now you know! You’re now ready to go out and find your dream chair. May it bring joy (and comfort) to the many workdays that lie ahead.
