I wrote a little bit about my ideal desk set up a couple of days ago and I was thinking about what the most important part of it all is and I would definitely have to say my chair. Now with that being said, I think every little thing you put into your home office should work together like a symphony. However, I think the chair is probably the most important part of that symphony. Today I want to share with you my top 3 reasons why your chair is the most important part of your home office!

You’re going to use this thing all-day

The first reason is that you use your chair ALL DAY. Think about it, you will sit in this chair for around 5-ish hours a day minimum. For me, it’s always WAY more because I also use my office stuff to play games or work on personal projects and you might too. You will rarely use another piece of equipment or furniture in your home office as much as your chair.

Your chair is also responsible for holding up and supporting your whole body weight for that whole time as well. If it does a bad job of supporting you then you could be uncomfortable at best and have some serious back and neck pain at worst.

It can help alleviate existing back or neck pain

If you’ve had a bad chair, bad bed, bad couch, etc. and you’re already having back and neck pain getting a good chair can probably help alleviate that pain. The trick to this is to make sure you are checking your posture throughout the day and getting a chair that supports good posture.

What good posture is for you really depends on your specific needs. I need lumbar support that was adjustable and a chair I could set the tilt of the chair’s back however I wanted. I also needed a good chair head to rest my head and neck comfortably.

It can help you be more productive

If you’ve ever felt like you weren’t getting anything done or being productive enough, your chair could be to blame. Think about the first point I raised about causing back pain. If you’re in pain that takes focus away from whatever you’re trying to do, whether that be working, playing games, or watching videos.

Picking a nice chair that allows you to sit comfortably for your workday can help you be more productive when you don’t have to worry about things like back and neck pain.
