Ergonomic Office Chair

[khall64au]

Can anyone recommend a good ergonomic office chair that supports the lower back? Where to find on Phuket?

Seems that whenever I buy a new chair the lower back area on the chair always seems to collapse quite quickly and am now back to square one after just a few months with the current chair.

My back hurts... again!

I have the same problem with back support. I use one of those driving cushions they sell in the supermarkets.

Bought mine in the motoring section of BigC IIRC

Hey Khall64au, I just noticed that we joined TV on the same day and have consecutive membership numbers

*BUT* I've made 23 posts and you've made 615 wow!

I need to learn to type quicker

I bought this chair about 14 months ago and still working fine for my oversize 200 pounds. It is first chair that I can sit in all day without back trouble or getting sticky from sweat (open weave material).

It can be found at Makro Office Center and is listed on this web site

I got one of the 3'500 baht (Executive Chair "Office Centre") synthetic leather ones from there 1 year ago, the surface of the material on the arms is already cracking, half of the screws holding the arm rests to the chair have fallen out, and I had to get the underside welded back to the chair twice as that broke aswell..

Going to treat myself to one of the 24k leather ones next week I think, you get what you pay for I suppose..

[khall64au]

It was one of those 24K leather models that I was referring to in the OP. The back support blew out after a few months.....

I got a bustin' chair for 7.7K last week for my office, have no photos but it's bloody lovvvly!!!!

I'm quite short 5'1" my new leather chair offers no back support. I'm having to resort to having a folded over cushion supporting my lower back.

[khall64au]

Me too... it sucks!

The most important thing when buying any office is that it is a Ergonomic office chair, the importance of correct posture and good back care is more important than price and looks.

[khall64au]

Somebody has been playing in the basement ... I eventually found a chair but still not enough lower back support.

Thankyou ellis200200 for showing us that nice range of hi-tech ergo chairs - but I doubt I'd ever buy a chair via mail order.

Perhaps now, since the OP is 2 yrs old, there may be other stores on Phuket with a decent range of chairs. Anybody know?

Hi, I was looking around for one of those chairs too, but then I realized that the recliners/LazyBoys were even better for my stiff knee. Check them out. Imitations, local made stuff are very cheap 5-7000, and are pretty good quality. Lazyboys are somewhere from 25k and up.

Have you considered one of the large Fitballs? I have been using it and feel i have much less back pain then when I was in a chair. I can still slouch so it is not fool proof for bad posture but I do have less stiffness in my back. Some people swear by them. I am not there yet but I have not gone back to my chair now and its been about 3 weeks. They are about 500 baht at sports stores in Jungceylone and Central.
