Let’s look at the most popular configuration of the Terra series, the medium back and medium seat version. This model will fit the vast majority of people. In order to use the chair properly the first thing we need to do is adjust it to our body type. First, you want to adjust the height of the chair so that your feet are flat on the floor and your thighs are parallel to the ground. You also want to make sure that the front of the chair does not press against the back of your knees. This is a sensitive area of your body that can affect the comfort of your lower legs.

In terms of back movement the Terra allows a wide range of motion with an adjustable tension control. Tightening or loosening the tension control knob will allow the chair to recline with more or less resistance. A general rule of him is that you want to be naturally buoyant. You don’t want to work hard to push it back but you also don’t want to feel forced forward. Once you find a comfortable actress position you can easily lock it into place. You can also adjust the lumbar cushion of the chair. The seat back height is easily adjusted up or down with minimal effort. These basic chair adjustments are what via refers to as their active back control.

One excellent feature of the active back control is the free-floating seat. This means that you can adjust the tilt angle of the seat cushion itself independently of the backrest. You can even adjust the chair so that there is a space between the seat and backrest to promote active sitting. This is when you do not lean on a back support rather you keep your posture upright using your body’s core muscles.

Adjustable arm rests are also standard on the Terra. You can easily adjust the height of each armrest with the push of a button. If another source of our support is available in your workstation the arms could also be removed from the chair.

Overall the Terra chair is a fantastic option for those who want the feel and quality of a premium chair without paying a premium price. The basic Terra model starts at about $300 and can run up to $500 fully loaded.

Ok, well now that we know ergonomic task chairs provide the most benefit for our bodies, let’s take a closer look at what our options are. The most-searched-for variation is an office task chair, mostly looked for in leather, followed by mesh and then fabric in terms of popularity.

Those familiar with computer ergonomics know that how you position your body and limbs during long hours of work can affect how you feel long after work is over.

Having armrests on a chair is personal preference but if you do choose to get them it helps to make sure they are adjustable.

Other types of popular task chairs include those used by a student at a college or university, and the executive who needs aggressive support in their seat but does not generally use the computer for most of their day.
