An adjustible, high-quality chair allows you to customize your seated position, to meet you unique comfort needs, thus enabling you to sustain focus on the task at hand. Proper lumbar support has a positive impact on both physical comfort and cognitive performance. A supportive chair promotes good seated posture, reducing back pain and neck strain. When you are comfortable and pain-free, seated with your spine properly aligned, blood flow to the brain improves, maintaining mental alertness, problem-solving abilities, and better decision making.
