Random other info:

a headrest is unnecessary for the purposes of sitting correctly in an office chair. Headrests tend to put your cervical spine into slight extension if you're sitting straight up.
one thing you can't see from this angle is your shoulder abduction angle. Most office chairs are quite wide, so trying to use the armrests while you type can put an unnecessary amount of strain on your wrists. Ideal positioning for your elbows is directly below your shoulders, like where they would rest if you were standing up. Better for your shoulders and wrists.
if you're looking for a good ergo chair, I always recommend a used/refurbished higher end chair rather than a cheaper new chair. The higher end chairs (Steelcase, Humanscale, Herman Miller, Autonomous, etc) typically have replaceable parts and sometimes will still have a manufacturer's warranty depending on where you buy it.

I'm a kinesiologist who has done a lot of office ergo work.

Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.
