Choosing Ergonomic Chairs

• The best way is to try them yourself at the showroom.

Gears I am using/used

Gentle remind: your height, weight, and shape matters.

According to SizeThailand [5], the average height of Thai male and female are 169.46 and 157.00 cm respectively. These criteria are used for the "Generic Thai" description in the review section below.

• Chair
  • IKEA Markus (~5000THB)
    • Overall good. Comes with a tilt-sync feature.
    • Non-adjustable headrest. Too low for me but too high for Thai persons, according to my friends.
  • Ergotrend Ergo Joy Plus (~9000THB)
    • Flexible in adjustments: seat depth + height + tilt, backrest height + angle, headrest height + angle.
    • None of the following options are in sync. Not ideal for people switching between upright and reclined sitting posture.
    • Non-adjustable lumbar, but adjusting seat height can help in positioning the lumbar properly.
    • Headrest is far too low for me. Ideal for generic Thais, I believe.
