After fussing about the essence of face shields, it’s about time for us to refocus on a widespread problem: our chronic, lockdown-induced body aches. Experts have revealed that our constant shoulder hunching is indeed ruining our bodies; thus, ergonomic chairs are one of the wisest investments one can make when working from home.
But first, what makes an ergonomic chair… er… ergonomic? Here are a few things you have to keep in mind before picking one for yourself.

Let me state the obvious: ergonomic chairs aren’t cheap. After all, they’re tailored to fit you perfectly. To do this, ergonomic chairs need to have the best material, several adjustable features, and precise measurements.
There are, of course, ergonomic chairs that are made to fit the budget. In fact, you can find many ergonomic chairs on Lazada that go as low as ₱1,000! Do note, however, that you’ll have to compromise according to your budget. Thankfully, there are a lot of options nowadays.
When it comes to ergonomics, adjustable features are key. Keep in mind where you need the most support: Back? Neck? Shoulders? Arms? Then, scout for ergonomic chairs that provide the exact features to help you out.
The best ergonomic chairs offer adjustable seat height, width, and depth, as well as an adjustable neck rest, lumbar support, a footrest, a backrest, and armrests.
If you can’t afford an ergonomic chair with fully adjustable features, then get one that is already measured to your body. Consider the seat height, which should let you sit with your feet flat on the floor and arms at desk height. Then, consider the seat width and depth. You should be able to rest your back comfortably.
Different office chairs vary in material: fabric, plastic, wood, leather, et cetera. But ergonomic chairs in the Philippines are typically made of mesh, a material known for supporting the musculoskeletal system, improving posture, and minimising body aches. In tropical countries like the Philippines, mesh is also popular for its breathability.
Another popular material for ergonomic chairs is vinyl, as it’s the easiest to clean and durable as well. However, it’s not ideal for warm environments as vinyl retains heat and moisture.
