AVOID!

Use your chair to fully support your body. Distribute your weight evenly and use the entire seat and backrest to support your body. If your chair has adjustable low back support, match the contours of the chair’s backrest to the natural curve of your lower spine.

Getting comfortable

Always make sure your lower back is well-supported. Make sure it feels comfortable in the position in which you are working.

RIGHT!

Distribute your weight evenly and use the entire seat and backrest to support your body.

WRONG!

Don’t slouch forward.

HINT: ADJUST OFTEN: If your chair is adjustable, experiment with the adjustments to find numerous comfortable positions, then adjust the chair frequently.

If you get a new adjustable chair, or if you share a chair with someone else, don’t assume the settings are properly set for you.
