Different types of office chairs

You may be surprised to find that there is quite a wide range of different office chairs available in New Zealand, each with its own traits and characteristics, including the following:

Available finishes can suit different work settings, including a black office chair for a darker palette or a white desk chair for a lighter workspace.

1. Ergonomic chairs

Designed with adjustable features like lumbar support, seat depth, and armrest height, these ergonomic chairs prioritise proper posture and comfort for extended periods. They aim to minimise strain and promote healthy spinal alignment.  

2. Executive chairs

Executive chairs typically feature a high backrest, often with padded armrests and luxurious upholstery, offering a prestigious and comfortable seating experience. They are often associated with leadership roles and prioritise both style and comfort.  

3. Mesh chairs

Made with a breathable mesh backrest, these chairs promote airflow and prevent heat buildup, keeping you cool and comfortable. They are a popular choice for warm offices or those who tend to overheat while working.  

4. Task chairs

These are basic, functional chairs designed for everyday office tasks. They typically offer limited adjustments but provide essential support for general office work.  

5. Drafting chairs

These chairs are designed for use with higher desks or drafting tables, featuring an adjustable height and often a foot ring for support. They are suitable for architects, interior designers, or anyone working at a higher work surface.  

The benefits of buying a high-quality office chair

Investing in a high-quality office chair in New Zealand is an investment in your well-being and productivity. A good comfortable chair provides essential ergonomic support, reducing the risk of back pain, neck strain, and other discomforts associated with long periods of prolonged sitting. With adjustable features, a high-quality chair allows you to customise your seating position for optimal comfort and posture, leading to improved focus and efficiency throughout your workday. A well-chosen office chair also contributes to a healthier and more productive work environment, whether you're working from home or in a traditional office setting.

How to choose the right office chair for you

Finding the perfect chair involves considering your individual needs and work habits. Think about how long you'll be sitting, and prioritise ergonomic features like adjustable lumbar support, seat height and depth, and armrest positioning to ensure proper posture and comfort. Consider the chair's materials - breathable fabrics like mesh are great for warmer climates, while leather or upholstery offers a more classic look. You should also consider aesthetics and how your options will match and complement other pieces of office furniture that you have. Finally, don't hesitate to try out different chairs if possible to get a sense of their comfort and durability before making your final decision. For a softer upholstered option, a fabric computer chair can provide a different feel from a mesh backrest. Colour can also guide the choice: a white office chair may suit a light scheme, while a pink office chair can add contrast to a neutral workspace.

How high should an office chair be?

A seat height of between 40 to 55cm off the ground should work for most people. This will allow the feet to be placed flat on the floor.

What features should an office chair have?

When you are spending over half your day sitting on it, you want to make sure your chair has a few features. Adjustable seat height, adequate width and depth, lumbar support, armrests and the ability to swivel are a few other important features.

Should an office chair have arms?

Yes. While there are a lot of differing opinions, the general consensus is that it is better to have an office desk chair with armrests. Armrests support the upper limbs while also reducing the amount of load on the lower back while seated.
