Any gaming or ergonomic office chair can qualify as ‘fully ergonomic’ by having three essential features.

  • Adjustable lumbar: aligns the spine.
  • Adjustable arms: provides extra bracing.
  • Reclining backrest: enables movement.

Combined, these features support neutral sitting postures. These help users sit comfortably for long periods without stressing the spine or its surrounding muscles.
