A Guide To Executive Office Chairs

Executive office chairs make an excellent choice for offices or home studies. But with all the different shapes, styles and materials available, it’s hard to know which executive chair you should buy.

We’ve created this guide to help you find the executive office chair that’s not only stylish, but also supports your back and improves your posture. As an added bonus, our commercial chairs are also great for making sure your workplace is DSE Assessment compliant.

What Styles Of Executive Office Chair Are There?

There are many types of executive desk chair on the market, each with their own features and qualities.

First up, mesh executive chairs are an increasingly popular option. They’re lightweight, sturdy, and are fully breathable, and will fit right into a modern office. They can also be adjusted more easily than other executive office chairs, many coming with adjustable backs, arm rests, head and neck rests, and customisable back and seat positions.

Another popular option is our range of leather executive desk chairs. These have superb ergonomic features making them comfortable and suitable for heavy use. Styles are available in contemporary and classic designs, and in different price ranges to suit everyone’s budget. What they boast in classic styling, however, they lack in customised back support. For a good alternative, consider our mesh and other corporate office chairs.

According to a study by Nachemson and Elfström – ‘Intravital dynamic pressure measurements in lumbar discs. A study of common movements, maneuvers and exercises’ – the further forward you sit in your corporate office chair means the more pressure you are putting on your spinal column. A good executive chair helps alleviate this pressure by supporting your entire upper body throughout the day.

To help you choose an office chair, we’ve put together the best chairs for the top 5 most asked-for office chair needs.
