Orthopedic Office Chair - Test of the Top 10 Models 2025

Orthopedic office chairs in the test - we compare the best desk chairs of 2025 and give you an overview of price, quality, and recommendations as well as plenty of valuable information about the best orthopedic office chairs. Around 15 million people in Germany work at desks. And a large portion of these individuals complain about various posture-related discomforts. Stiff necks, back pain, and disc problems are not uncommon in the office or home office. This is often due to a lack of daily movement. Integrating this into an already stressful daily routine is not easy. However, these complaints can be prevented with a change in office equipment. Neck and back pains are posture problems that can be traced back to an incorrect work environment.

Many employers strive for an ergonomic workplace for their employees - because ergonomics at work falls under the Occupational Safety and Health Act. But even in the home office, you should pay attention to a soothing and relieving work environment. Having an ergonomically optimal workplace not only ensures a pleasant work atmosphere but also leads to better work results. A healthy workplace starts with an ergonomic office chair. But how do you recognize an ergonomically optimal office chair and what are the long-term benefits of correct sitting at the workplace for you and your health?

Difference between 'orthopedic' and 'ergonomic' office chairs

It is difficult to distinguish between a chair with an ergonomic seating experience and a desk chair for orthopedic purposes, as both aim to achieve healthier sitting. An orthopedic office chair, as well as an ergonomic work chair, should help alleviate and improve complaints related to the spine, circulatory disturbances, and neck tension. At the same time, such chairs also have a preventive function, making an orthopedic or ergonomic chair worthwhile not only for those who are already suffering but also for those who want to improve their sitting posture and prevent long-term damage from incorrect sitting positions.

Pleasant and Healthy Sitting: The Benefits of Orthopedic Office Chairs

An orthopedic office chair helps you maintain the correct sitting posture even during long workdays.

If you spend a long period in an uncomfortable position, your muscles tense up and the supporting spine is subjected to one-sided stress. The overuse of certain body areas ultimately manifests in pain at the affected site. An inappropriate office chair can even lead to circulatory disturbances. Consequently, respiratory problems and even intestinal disorders can also stem from an incorrect sitting position - such is the interconnectedness and coordination of our body.

An orthopedic chair for your office can prevent and even improve pain in the neck and back. Ergonomic office chairs do their job while you can proceed with your own work carefree. Desk chairs that can easily adapt to the body's movements serve:

• to support the body, especially the spine
• to correct existing postural misalignments
• dynamic sitting with frequent changes of position
• an optimal work environment and safety

An orthopedic office chair relieves your back when sitting for an extended period and can help you sustainably alleviate chronic joint and disc ailments. With our ergonomic chairs, you can focus fully on your work and relax for the rest of the day without discomfort.

Orthopedist's Recommendations for Office Chairs - What You Should Look Out For

An office chair is not just any office chair. There is a very large market for office chairs. Many models are touted with a special construction for orthopedic purposes. Since the term 'orthopedic office chair' is not patented, manufacturers can use it freely - even on chairs that inadequately support the body. How can you distinguish a normal office chair from an optimally supportive work chair? What should you really look out for when you want to buy an orthopedic office chair?

Unhealthy sitting harms your health

Healthy and active sitting provides a balance to the sedentary office routine at the desk. An ergonomic desk chair should support your movements during work. Turning, stretching, and bending - an orthopedic office chair adapts to the movements of the sitter in every body position. Therefore, the office chair should have the following features:

Overview of the features and functions of orthopedic office chairs

Height Adjustability

An ergonomic workplace results from the coordination of the office chair, desk, and computer monitor. If the office chair is too high, you may fall into a curved posture. A too-low office chair can mean overstrain of the cervical vertebrae. Since not everyone has the same physique, a height-adjustable work chair is a fundamental requirement for an orthopedic office chair. Through individual height adjustment, the desk chair can be easily adapted to the rest of the workspace and provide optimal support for your body. Make sure your legs form an angle of at least 90 degrees and your feet are fully resting on the floor.

Adjustable Armrests

The armrests of an office chair serve to comfortably support your arms and make it easier to maintain an extended posture. The armrests should be adjustable in two directions: outward/inward and forward/backward. If your armrest is properly adjusted in height and distance to the body, it can support the upper body and thus counteract neck and shoulder tension. Make sure your arms rest on the armrest without disturbance and your elbows are bent at least at a right angle.

Backrest with Lumbar Support

An incorrect posture of the spine is responsible for painful muscle tension and misalignments of the body. To ensure sitting remains comfortable over a longer period, the backrest must be adapted to the spine's dynamic S-shape. Office chairs with lumbar support perfectly conform to the dynamic shape of the spine. The lower, forward-curved area of the backrest should be adjustable in depth and height depending on size and body shape to ensure adequate support for the spine. A backrest with a rounded end positively affects your mobility of arms and shoulders, making work comfortable again.

Note: You can test whether the chair is ergonomically tailored to your body yourself. If you move extensively while sitting, by stretching or leaning back, you can feel whether the chair restricts your movements and can ideally readjust its elements.

Suitable Chair Mechanics

There are two different groups of mechanisms that are commonly used in office chairs today:

• Permanent Mechanism with a fixed seat surface and a backrest that creates counterforce when leaning back. The backrest supports the back. However, the backrest cannot be adjusted.
• Synchronous Mechanism with a simultaneous movement of backrest and seat surface. This keeps the distance between the two office chair elements constant, allowing the chair to optimally adapt to the body's movements.

While the permanent mechanism is now considered outdated, the synchronous mechanism is gaining popularity. Particularly, it continuously supports the lower back area, keeping the back straight even when leaning forward. This ensures optimal blood circulation at all times and prevents the pinching of veins and nerve bundles. For people who need to work quietly and concentratedly for long periods, the synchronous mechanism involuntarily leads to changes in position, thus promoting movement through "active sitting" in everyday work.

Adjustable Seat Depth

With an adjustable seat depth (regardless of body type), muscle support and blood circulation can be enhanced. For a comfortable seating experience, the office chair should provide ample space to relieve the pelvis and thigh muscles. By adjusting the seat depth, the seat can be optimally set to the thigh length of the sitter. Typically, there should be space for three fingers between the back of the knee and the edge of the seat when the seat depth is optimally adjusted, always with the aspect of a comfortable seating feeling in mind.
A rounded seat that does not uncomfortably press into the back of the knees is a possible solution for sensitive thighs or venous disorders.

Optimal Seat Suspension

A robust gas or depth suspension offers significant relief to individuals suffering from chronic back pain during sitting down and standing up. It protects the spine from shocks by allowing the seat surface to sink comfortably under load and cushion the momentum of the sitting motion.

The Right Materials

If you want to enjoy your ergonomic office chair for a long time, you should also ensure that it is made of high-quality materials. A breathable padding material prevents the buildup of heat and moisture, thus not only preventing an uncomfortable seating climate. Using quality materials also extends the lifespan of the chair. For a comfortable seating feeling, cushions made of:

• soft foam,
• resilient mesh fabric, or
• viscoelastic molded foam

are suitable. The cushions are subjected to daily stresses and should therefore be covered with a durable, non-adhesive fabric that does not compromise seating comfort in the long run. The best upper materials for an ergonomically valuable chair are:

Upper materials for orthopedic office chairs

For a durable office chair, a cover made of polyester or microfiber is best as these fabrics are very durable, easy to care for, and also available for small budgets. For people who sweat heavily, a breathable mesh fabric is particularly suitable for an orthopedic desk chair. In our specialty store for seating furniture and ergonomic work equipment, you can get free, non-binding advice from our experts. With us, you have the opportunity to try out various office chair models and thus make a well-informed and thoughtful purchase decision.

Haider Bioswing 560 iQ detensor

In terms of seating comfort, the Haider Bioswing 560 iQ detensor is in no way inferior to the other models of the 560 series - on the contrary: the additionally integrated Detensor lamellae in the seat and back provide extra relief for the spine and an optimal seating climate.

With the comfortable neck support, you relieve pressure from your cervical vertebrae, and thanks to multifunction armrests, you can additionally relieve your neck and shoulder muscles.

Unlike the other models of the 5 series, this model has an upward-directed lamella profile in the backrest, which converts the leaning pressure into mild, spine and disc-relieving stretching forces.

Haider Bioswing 460 iQ - Bestseller

The Haider Bioswing 460 iQ is a suitable orthopedic chair for the office and is also particularly well suited for petite individuals due to its slim form. The unique ergonomic conception and the rhythmic functions of the integrated 3D seat mechanism of this office chair activate your nervous system, increase your performance, stabilize your back muscles, and promote the strengthening of your discs. Thanks to its numerous adjustment options, the orthopedic chair from Haider Bioswing can be precisely adapted to your body.

With the adjustable armrests, you further relieve your shoulders and neck, thus preventing muscle tension.

The integrated and infinitely adjustable seat tilt adjustment via gas spring ensures sufficient circulation and very good relief of the thigh muscles even on days with little movement in the office.

The ergonomic or orthopedic peculiarity of these models lies in the selection of different seat surfaces. One option is a recess in the seat cushion in the rear area (optionally visible or not visible) for relieving the tailbone and coccyx. This recess ensures that the tailbone is relieved and the spine is subjected to less pressure while sitting. The chair thus provides relief for sensitive sitting areas. Another option is the arthrodesis seat (no Ergo-Top mechanics possible here), where the seat surface is split, and both front halves of the seat surface can be independently adjusted in inclination and locked. This seat variant supports you in case of limited mobility of the hips or knees. The adjustable seat surface angle of up to 30° acts to relieve pressure, making sitting noticeably easier.

Various seat cushion options such as pocket spring core, viscoelastic memory foam, or the anti-decubitus seat (integrated honeycomb cushions that control heat, moisture, and pressure) offer additional comfort and support for special requirements. Pressure-sensitive body areas such as the thigh muscles, coccyx, etc., are thus additionally relieved. The kyphosis backrest also available in Löffler+ models with an invisible recess in the backrest supports people with vertical curvatures in the spine (also in case of scoliosis). The split backrest provides the sensitive spine with the necessary space and thus exerts no pressure on it. The kyphosis backrest is optionally available with cold foam or viscoelastic memory foam. The Löffler+ models stand for health and regained joy in sitting - even on long workdays. With these orthopedic office chairs, you can work undisturbed again.

SITWELL ORTHOLETIC L

The height-adjustable and tiltable headrest adequately supports your cervical vertebrae. The adjustable armrests additionally prevent unpleasant neck tension.

The SITWELL ORTHOLETIC L is distinguished by its ergonomically curved Ortho-Sacral backrest with integrated lumbar support and maximum shoulder mobility. The special disc seat provides pressure relief on the spine and thus has a protective effect on your discs. The integrated seat tilt adjustment relieves the thighs.

With the built-in synchronous mechanism, the seat surface and backrest adjust to every body posture and further reduce pressure on the spine and discs. An upright posture is promoted, giving you secure support. The SITWELL ORTHLETIC L office chair is an ergonomic enrichment for any workplace.

More Chairs for Healthy Sitting

In addition to orthopedic office chairs, there are also other chair types that support a healthy body posture and can alleviate pain from chronic spinal conditions. Those who move a lot should opt for an ergonomic office stool without annoying arms and backrest.

With a heavy-duty chair, even individuals with a higher body weight can spend the workday without back and neck pain. If you are interested in an alternative to the orthopedic office chair, we have compiled a compact overview of various ergonomic seating options for you below.

The Best Chair for Disc Herniations

A herniated disc is one of the most common spinal injuries, often due to lack of movement in daily life. Prolonged sitting places a one-sided burden on our bodies. With an increase in office jobs and more people working from home, disc-related issues among Germans are steadily increasing. Workplace ergonomics aim to counter this trend effectively.

The right office chair helps to improve your sitting posture in the long term, thus preventing herniated discs or alleviating the discomfort caused by injured discs. An orthopedic office chair for disc problems focuses especially on an adjustable lumbar support, possible seat depth and tilt adjustments, and a movable seat surface for active sitting. These features of an office chair ensure that the chair adapts to your body and relieves but also strengthens the discs. At the same time, synchronous or 3D mechanisms and a suitable seat surface prevent your spine from being compressed, bent, or otherwise damaged.

Comfortable Executive Chairs for Long Sitting

The executive chair is a higher quality and usually more expensive variant of the office chair. The term 'executive chair' comes from the fact that such a work chair is often associated with more elegant materials and higher comfort. Unlike standard office chairs, an ergonomic executive chair has a higher, wider, and continuous backrest and is usually covered with genuine leather, giving the executive chair a high-quality design. Various chrome elements on the backrest, armrests, and base are further features of an executive chair. A neck support is often also part of an executive chair's equipment. Because those who need to move a lot and show maximum performance and foresight require a reliable partner during their daily sitting routine.

With our comfortable executive chairs, e.g., from Haider Bioswing, you can add elegance to your office while benefiting from the highest ergonomic standards. These executive chairs impress with high-quality, unobtrusive design. High-quality materials and the unique Bioswing 3D seat mechanism not only optimally support your spine but also enhance your performance and concentration abilities.

Stability and Seating Comfort with Heavy-Duty Office Chairs

We spend an average of up to 11 hours a day sitting. Therefore, office chairs must be very durable so they do not wear out quickly or break. Many office chairs can only carry up to 120 kg. For people who weigh more, a standard office chair is often associated with uncomfortable sitting. Heavy-duty office chairs can provide a solution here. These chairs have a stable base with a durable gas spring and offer you high stability. For high seating comfort, the robust office chairs have more seating surfaces and a larger backrest. The synchronous mechanism ensures sufficient movement, even when sitting for long periods.

Note: Heavy-duty office chairs often have limited functions because the load on the mechanics is significantly higher in the long run than with standard office chairs. Heavy-duty chairs that still offer active sitting are rare.

For heavier individuals, we offer a heavy-duty chair for the office in our online shop that combines elegant design with a comfortable seating climate. The heavy-duty chair Panamero from Löffler can carry a weight of up to 175 kg. Thanks to the Ergo-Top technology, the seat surface moves in all directions, so even this group of people does not have to sit rigidly. The generous or extra-wide seat of the office chair is equipped with a comfortable and sturdy spring core. The backrest has a lumbar support for optimal support of the spine. The built-in synchronous mechanism ensures sufficient freedom of movement - and thus active and healthy sitting.

The Most Affordable Alternative: Office Stools

Unlike orthopedic office chairs, office stools do not have armrests or a backrest. Sitting on an office stool quickly becomes a balancing act. However, by focusing the weight on the body's center, an ergonomic office stool automatically requires a straight back posture. The lack of arm and backrest simultaneously means free movement of the upper body. Look for adjustable seat height and the right material so you can use your orthopedic stool for as long as possible in the office or at home. It is important that the stool offers movement while sitting, e.g., through a curved base plate, a movable seat surface, or movement through rockers.

There are various types of stools, each with its own advantages and disadvantages:

• Pendulum stools
• 3D stools / Active stools
• Rolling stools / Swivel stools with wheels
• Saddle stools
• Kneeling stools
• Standing stools / Office supports and
• Desk stools for children

It is not possible to generalize which (orthopedic) office stool is the best. Each variant has its own advantages and is intended for a different target group. If you decide on a seat stool as a more affordable alternative to a conventional office chair, then your individual needs should be the main focus. In specialty stores, you can get adequate information about the office stool models that might be suitable for you.

We at Profi-Line look forward to your visit - whether in the shop or on our website. Through a personal consultation, we find out which orthopedic chair for work fits your needs. In our specialty store, you can easily try out sitting and convince yourself of the advantages of an orthopedic work chair on-site.

FAQ:

1. What is an orthopedic office chair?

   Unlike conventional office chairs, orthopedic office chairs can be easily adapted to one's own body. This prevents adopting a slumped sitting posture and prevents or alleviates back pain. For an office chair to be called orthopedic or ergonomic, it must have adjustable features, such as height adjustability, seat depth and tilt adjustment, adjustable armrests, and an adjustable backrest with adjustable lumbar support. Also, an appropriate mechanism should be considered that ensures active sitting at the workplace.

2. Which office chair do orthopedists recommend for disc herniations?

   Ergonomic office chairs for disc problems should have adjustable features for the seat surface, seat height, arms, and backrest. An innovative synchronous mechanism supports you in every position and reduces the pressure on your discs. A depth suspension facilitates sitting down and getting up by supporting and softly cushioning the body.

3. What makes a good office chair?

   A good office chair should be able to completely adapt to your body proportions and provide you with enough movement even while sitting. Through a movable seat surface, adjustable armrests, and a height-adjustable backrest, you can protect your neck and back muscles and prevent serious back diseases. A lumbar support adjusts to the S-shape of your spine and relieves important areas of your back. Through a rounded seat or an effective seat tilt adjustment, you prevent circulatory disorders and circulation problems. The right office chair helps you to spend the daily sitting marathon at work without complaints and ensures that you can also enjoy the time after work in peace and without pain.

4. How much does an orthopedic office chair cost?

   An orthopedic office chair is characterized by many individually adjustable elements that can be easily aligned with your body and its movements. The upholstery material and the cover also make a high-quality orthopedic office chair. These special office chairs are more expensive than conventional desk chairs due to their equipment. However, there are orthopedic office chairs in various price segments, and you are ultimately investing in the most valuable asset - your health. In our online shop, you can find various models. With our help, you can ease the strenuous work at the desk and sustainably improve your health.
