When searching for an office chair with spine support, many people focus on one question: Should I choose a high-back or medium-back chair? At first glance, it seems logical.

At WorkplaceAdjustments.in, we regularly see discomfort caused not by the “type” of chair, but by a mismatch between the chair and the user.
