What To Look For in A Chair
A good chair needs to be the right size for you. One size does not fit all. If possible, visit a specialist showroom and try some out for size and comfort.
You need to be able to sit down in the chair with your bottom to the back cushion. You shouldn’t need to shuffle back. When it comes to the length of the leg/footrest, you want your heels to be just shy of the end. If your heels are resting on the footrest for prolonged periods, it can lead to pressure issues.
