ergonomic chair


Posted: Feb 8, 2014

Has anyone used The ERGO chiar? I have been looking for a good chair to help with my back problems but most are so expensive. This one looks odd but has a ton of great reviews on it's website. Just wonder if anyone has actually sat on one...

 

Much appreciated!!

but I wonder how hard it would be to keep your balance while using a foot pedal? I suppose it could be done once you get used to it. I'd want to do a rigorous back (core) strenghtening exercise program before attempting to use it, though.

I did not even think about the foot pedal being an issue! Thanks for your response!

I know I couldn't use that particular one. - justme

The muscles in my back give out so easily and I have to have something to lean against part of the time. I have scoliosis as well and my spine would be screaming if it didn't have some help supporting me.

Yeah I don't think I am going to try this one. I may just save up for the Ergohuman chair. I really didn't consider how the foot pedal would make it difficult.

Ball chairs - Have one

Ball chairs are not laze-in-it comfy affairs. They move and you have to work to stay upright and positioned correctly. There is no "back support" -- you have to supply that yourself. They are work or exercise, in other words.

If you want a good ergonomic chair, you are going to have to pay for it. I recommend the Herman Miller Mirra. My facility is enormous, but it purchases them for all employees, in spite of the cost, because they are so good. They actually have different sizes. We have some other brands, and HM Aerons, but employees prefer the Mirra. There is no comparison--all the others are hyped up rip-offs.

Look online for a sale and be sure to get the right size.

RNC Chair Priebus: GOP Platform Is Not NecessarilyAug 22, 2012
This is a bold strategy indeed for the party creed rollout….a candidate disclaimer stating they are not bound to abide by party principles.  I guess it’s a handy escape hatch for a nominee who HAS no core beliefs.  See, the party wants to run on the personhood plank, but they just don’t want to damage their candidates’ future political careers too much by making them say it out loud, in case they need to recycle the VEEP candidate in 2016.  That Reinc ...
