But you’re not always going to be in a position to stand, and that’s where the company's orthopedic chairs come in. The wider seat and higher back position is a nice additional to the Flexispot and whilst the lumbar support is very similar on both, it's nice to have the option to adjust it like on the Leap. I’m guessing they won’t be of much help, so I’ll probably send the chair back, which I'd rather not do as I love everything else about it.

The one fault I did find was that the seat handle to adjust the height of the chair feels slightly flimsy, as it took me a minute to figure out what way I needed to pull it. The chair back and lumbar support provide better comfort and support, while the oversized headrest can relieve pressure on the head. So roll on a week and as soon as I got back I was straight into the box like a kid at Christmas to see what I got!Thankfully, we’re all a lot more conscious of the perils of hours of idle sitting than we were even 15 years ago. Umi claims that its Ergonomic Office Chair has a backrest that fits ‘the natural curve of the lower back’ and ‘takes the pressure off your spine’.

The material contributes to the integrated lumbar support, allowing my lower back to comfortably sit without feeling like it's poking me to sit upright. These are real favourites with gamers and computer users because they support your arms in whatever position that you take up. I am of course referring to the numb bum syndrome and this is a real thing that those who are office bound will be more than familiar with.PROFESSIONAL ERGONOMIC S-SHAPED DESIGN- FLEXISPOT has been specializing in the field of ergonomic design for 20 years.
