Q&A

Are headrests necessary?

Headrests are not essential, and paying extra for them may not be worth it. Slouching in the chair with a pillow or blanket behind your head can provide a similar experience.

What is the best chair for taller individuals?

The COHO M18 and Clatina Melet chairs are recommended for taller users due to their adjustable features and deep seat cushions.

What should I consider for active seating?

Active seating chairs, designed to engage muscles and provide energy throughout the day, are recommended. The Branch Ergonomic Chair and Andaseat Kaiser 3 are suitable options.

Do budget mesh chairs sag over time?

Budget mesh chairs, like the Staples Hyken, may sag faster for individuals over 150 lbs. Consider higher-end options with stronger warranties for better durability.

Can racing-style gaming chairs be comfortable?

While racing-style gaming chairs are generally not recommended, the Andaseat Kaiser 3 offers a more open back and a softer seat for increased comfort.
