The epitome of modern ergonomics, the Workspace Environment
If you are working from home, you might want a mesh chair with a streamlined profile, soft aesthetics and versatile features such as a footrest or headrest for different activities like working or gaming. The MONARCH Ergonomic chair is a great option for this purpose. In an office setting, you may need something formal and executive. It may also need to accommodate different users. Both the MONARCH and the VICEROY Mesh Ergonomic Chairs are suited to this purpose due to their adjustability and compact frames.
Work Habits
For long hours at the desk, mesh chairs such as the MONARCH and VICEROY with lumbar support, pressure relieving seats and multiple tilt options are indispensable. If you’re seated intermittently throughout the day or move around a lot, then a chair, such as the ADONIS Ergonomic Office Chair might be more ideal.

Key Features to Look For
There are a number of features common in modern mesh chairs that play a role in the overall seating experience. We’ve taken the liberty to list down some of these features, which, depending on your needs, might be worth looking into.
Adjustable Height and Seat Depth
If you expect to have multiple users share a chair, such as in an office setting, it may be worth it to consider a chair with adjustable height and seat depth. A seat with the right height and depth can help keep the feet flat and the hips level, which is not only important for supporting spinal alignment but also promoting circulation and reducing pressure on the thighs.
Lumbar Support

Lumbar support is crucial for supporting the s-curve of the spine. Properly implemented, it reduces strain and fatigue. If you are prone to working for long hours on end or have a history of back pain, a chair with lumbar support such as the MONARCH, VICEROY, ADONIS or CLODIUS will be indispensable for comfort and good posture.
Backrest and Tilt Tension
Do you often find yourself leaning back while thinking or taking a break, if so, backrest and tilt tension can make those moments more comfortable and supportive.
Armrest
Ideal for tasks involving long periods at the keyboard or elbow support when reading or writing, arm rests reduce strain on the upper body, alleviating pressure on the neck, shoulders and back. Some users might prefer to forgo armrests for reasons that range from improved mobility and cleaner aesthetics to avoiding interference with desk height or posture.
Other Important Considerations
Try Before You Buy
Once you’ve identified your needs, and narrowed down the key features important to you, try the office chair in person, before you make the actual purchase. This will reveal important details that are not immediately clear in display pictures, such as the feel of the chair, the materials used, the structural integrity and more.
Comfort

Functionality
That said, when buying a mesh chair, beyond aesthetics, consider comfort and functionality, especially if you’ll be spending hours in it each day. A chair that takes care of your posture takes you further with better comfort and greater productivity.
