The United States Department of Labor warns that poor ergonomics, which includes how you sit, can cause a variety of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) including carpal tunnel syndrome, muscle strains and low back injuries.

An ergonomic chair can better position your body at your desk, table or countertop. It prevents poor posture. One review of studies suggests that height-adjustable ergonomic chairs may reduce musculoskeletal pain or discomfort associated with prolonged sitting. (More evidence is needed to make stronger conclusions, the review notes.)

Per the Mayo Clinic, the right office chair should support your spinal curves, with the seat height adjusted so that your feet rest flat on the floor, thighs are parallel to the floor, and knees are level with your hips. Armrests should be adjusted so that wrists are straight and hands are at or below elbow level.
