Adding Back Supports To Office Chairs
When you’re suffering a lot of discomfort from your office chair, it’s sometimes possible to help ease your pain by adding a back support to your chair.
This is more likely to help when you’re stuck with a cheap chair and aren’t in a position to replace it.
Back supports come in a variety of different forms including mesh, molded foam and fabric covered foam, they are commonly designed to support the lumbar region, although others fill the full chair back.
Generally they are held on with Velcro straps to keep them in place.
There is also another type of back support and it’s actually a belt with braces which the user wears to physically keep their body posture in check.
Whilst these might look like a good idea the drawback with them is they restrict body movement to correct bad habits and although this helps, the lack of muscle movement will end up creating problems of its own when the belt is worn continually.

WIthout a doubt, ergonomic chairs provide the best support for people who are working at a desk and need a desk chair. I would suggest an Aeron–mine provides me with better support than my bed and lazy boy combined. Its worth the cost to me because I’m sitting in it all day. I would also suggest going through a company like officedesigns.com because they are really in the know and they ship for free. If your worried about cost I’d try preownedaerons.com or something so you can buy a cheaper, gently used model. I say use preownedaerons because they are actually authorized dealers and you know you’ll get the real deal.
