About ChairsFX.com: Ergonomic Trends & Desk Chair Reviews

She ChairsFX website is produced by Canadian editor/ technical writer Anil Ramsey. Shortly after buying his first gaming chair in 2017, Anil found no information online about how to use it. Searching for a simple definition of what ‘ergonomics’ means also proved fruitless. Anil launched ChairsFX in 2018 to address this information gap. What qualifies a chair as ‘ergonomic’? What is the purpose of ergonomic seating? What are the steps to properly use an ergonomic chair?

While figuring out his new gaming chair, Anil read the Handbook of Human Factors and Ergonomics. It yielded these fundamentals:

Ergonomic chairs are designed to support neutral sitting postures.
Neutral postures align the seated spine. This helps users sit comfortably for long periods.
Adjustable lumbar support slightly above the beltline is the key to maintaining a healthy spinal alignment.
A chair qualifies as ‘ergonomic’ with adjustable lumbar, adjustable arms, and a reclining backrest.

This framework helped Anil to master best practices in his gaming chair. That encouraged him to test out several other gaming and ergonomic office chairs.

Eventually, Anil joined the OSHA Education Center Association (OECA); later, he earned an OSHA Ergonomics course certification. This is the foundation that powers all ChairsFX.com reviews, tutorials, and ergonomic trend articles.

Circa 2024, ChairsFX remains a vital source of information for ergonomic beginners.What qualifies a chair as ‘ergonomic’? What is the purpose of ergonomic seating? What are the steps to properly use an ergonomic chair?
