Then someone told me that my posture wasn’t looking too great. I was slumping and my shoulders sagged and I wasn’t standing up to my normal height. He asked about where I sit and what kind of chair I use. I told him just an office chair. He said, you may want to think about getting a new one.

I started to think about it and realized that my work chair really didn’t have any back support. It was cushioned sure, but it encouraged my slump.  I looked around on the internet and found a new chair from Acisco, an office furniture company. Now I notice I don’t have to stretch as much and my posture is better. Whaddaya know?

Bean bags are a familiar site in homes or even in schools.  But in the office? It is not actually a far-fetched idea.  Maybe the boss has one inside his office where he can sit and relax if he suddenly decides not to use his thinking chair.  The bean bag then serves as his “relaxing chair”.  Yet in some offices, most especially those with modern designs, bean bags have easily found there place as it now takes the place of chairs in the setting.  It can be used as chairs in the weighting room, or even in the lounging room where employees relax and engage in a light conversation.  Though it may seem odd to have one, bean bags have evolved into different sizes and forms, why, even a whole couch can be made into a bean bag! So will a bean bag fit right into an office?  Sure it will. After all, we are living in the modern age, aren’t we?

The designs of these chairs ensure that the correct sitting posture is maintained and less weight is given to the spinal cord, and more pressure on to the seating area. There are chairs that come with mesh back, so that there is flow of air at the back and this helps preventing sweating while sitting down on the office chairs.

A person who has a desk job on a computer has to spend quite a lot of time sitting down and does not necessarily have sufficient exercise thus the stress / pressure given to the back will be quite high. Thus having an ergonomic chair will help the person relax even though having to sit in the same place for quite some time.

A company called Wilkhahn created a calorie-burning piece of office (or home office) furniture called the ON Chair. This baby offers a full range of motion, allowing you to move forwards, backwards, and side-to-side, putting your knees and hips to work while you toil at your desk. Check out the video above to watch people try the ON on for size.

The ON Chair can activate your metabolic system (so says a German health institute) and prevent pain, improve posture, cure cancer, etc. Plus, it maintains a stable center of gravity the whole time, meaning you never have to worry about falling over – which, we’ll admit, we were worried about.

The ON Chair cost $850 as of last fall – would your boss cover that?
