How Do You Sit Comfortably and Ergonomically on a Budget? There are plenty of ergonomic, comfortable task chairs that cost an arm and a leg (e.g. the Aeron), but not everybody can afford a great seat. Whether it's another chair, standing, or an exercise ball, how do you work every day in comfort without succumbing to poor posture or breaking the bank? We want to know.

What works for you?$$ High Price $ Low Price Back-Angle Adjustment You can adjust the ErgoHuman chair into three different positions using a tilt-lock mechanism. Lumbar support is integrated into the back panel of the chair, though it looks like two separate panels. This limited range of back-angle adjustment was a noticeable missing feature in our testing compared to the Viva. Back-Angle Adjustment The Viva chair has a handle for adjusting the back angle and integrated lumbar support. The back position isn’t limited to three positions, plus you can lock whatever angle you choose for comfortable lounging.

The wider variety of angles might be a plus for people who like to put their feet up on their desk every once in a while. Tilt Control Use the ErgoHuman chair’s tilt tension control feature to adjust how much force it takes to recline or sit up. It also comes with “synchro-tilt,” which allows the backrest to recline while keeping the seat close to level with the floor. If you’ve ever leaned back in a rocking chair and felt terrified of toppling over, you’ll understand why synchro-tilt is a nice feature. Tilt Control The Viva chair also has a tilt tension control feature and synchro-tilt. If tilting gives you vertigo, you can lock the chair in the upright position.
