The chairs listed below have been selected due to their adjustability, size, warranty, and price. Please read the information on this website about how to select a chair and adjust your chair, as well as our articles on seating and alternative seating. If you chair needs repairing, please refer to the Products web page under Vendors for our recommended repair person in the San Francisco Bay Area. If you live in the San Francisco Bay Area and would like help selecting a chair that fits you, please contact If the Chair Fits for assistance. Armrests are an option on all chairs and are an additional cost. Armrests must be used correctly and only when necessary. The seat in your car could also be contributing to back aches and pain. Consider using a car support or back pillow to improve the support for your low back. |

Alternative seating such as kneeling chairs, exercise balls, and bouncing chairs can be used to supplement standard office chairs. They encourage correct posture and "active sitting" as well as strengthening back muscles. However, they are usually too tiring for most people to use safely for an entire day. Please read our feature article about alternative seating!

| Theraband Pro Series fitness balls with pump (55cm, 65cm, or 75 cm diameter) $26-29 Please read our articles on active seating! The use of fitness balls is not a good idea for everyone and should not be used exclusively. Sitting on a fitness ball should be done only for short periods of time and it's important to purchase a ball that is the correct size for you, allowing your feet to rest flat on the floor and arms at the proper height for working. Use of fitness balls for long periods of time can actually lead people to roll backwards and slump worse, so be aware of posture while sitting on the ball and change back to your regular chair when you notice your posture declining.
