There are plenty of awesome office chairs out there that are specially designed to alleviate back pain and other back issues. Let them be your knights on shining wheel casters!
Ergonomic Chairs
One of the greatest chair types to help defeat back pain is the ergonomic chair type. In the office furniture industry, the term "ergonomic" is used to describe any class of furniture that has been extensively tested and designed to alleviate discomfort and improve workplace efficiency. While the term may be applied to desks,
office accessories, and
multi-user workstations, when its applied to office chairs, it can be loosely translated to "kiss back pain goodbye"! With any set of
comfortable ergonomic office chairs, "kills back pain" is likely the first box that gets checked at the manufacturer before the chairs are shipped out since back pain is such a widespread problem. In fact, one of the chairs heralded as the most comfortable chair of all time is the
RFM Verte Ergonomic Chair, adjusting to any movement made by the back. The good news about
office chairs for sale is that nowadays there is usually an "ergonomic" version of any chair type so you can have a comfortable chair for just about any situation. In fact, all the chairs listed below are from the ergonomic subsection of their listed chair type.
Executive Chairs
Executive chairs have long been identified as the creme de la creme of the office chair industry. Not only are they incredibly stylish, but they are always insanely comfortable. If back pain is an issue for you, just about any subset of
stylish executive chairs is sure to do the job getting rid of it. However, there is an extra special category of
ergonomic executive chairs that is already predesigned to send back pain packing! Some fabulous chairs for this category are the

Mesh Chairs
What could be worse than back pain? Well, anyone who's been stuck in an office environment where it always feels like the sun is hiding in one of the
storage cabinets until everyone in the room melts knows what a pain a hot office can be. In the dog days of summer, AC bills can get pretty high, causing business owners everywhere to cut back on the cool air. Sweaty backs and back pain do not go together, no matter what the season. We believe you should never have to suffer through both, which is why we suggest
breathable mesh back chairs to keep you cool! Mesh chairs are great for breathability, which is one of the reasons people sensitive to heat enjoy them so much. The holes in the fabric allow air to pass through more easily while the fabric's stretchy quality remains super supportive of the chair's occupant. A few examples of
great ergonomic mesh chairs include the
Concept 2.0 Modern Mesh Back Chair and the
Wau High Back Mesh Office Chair by Eurotech for pleasant seating solutions.
Big and Tall Chairs
Big and tall chairs are some of the best chairs for back pain relief because of their amazing support. These chairs shape themselves very easily to the body so that their occupants feel as if they fit wonderfully in the chairs. Not only do they bear weight supremely, but
big and tall chairs also look incredibly stylish and regal in much the same way as executive chairs do. Ergonomic big and tall chairs are some of the best ergonomic chairs on the market, both superb in reducing back pain and remarkably comfortable. They are welcome in almost every business capacity, doubling easily as both
conference chairs or even
high quality computer chairs for employees or home business owners. If you are thinking about adding one of these eye-popping beauties to your office space, the
