Ergonomic Chairs for Back Support

Sitting for prolonged periods can put strain on the back, neck, and shoulders while also restricting blood flow. That’s why OfficeMax offers a variety of ergonomic chairs designed to provide proper back support and promote healthy alignment.

Features of our ergonomic chairs include:

• Adjustable lumbar support to fit the chair to your spine’s natural curve

Our selection includes popular ergonomic brands like WorkPro, HON, and Bush Furniture. The chairs come in various styles too – from simple task chairs to executive models with headrests.

Ergonomic chairs encourage you to sit properly and maintain neutral spinal alignment. This provides major benefits like:

• Preventing back, neck, and shoulder pain
• Boosting circulation by keeping blood flow active
• Reducing fatigue from sitting for long periods
• Increasing focus, productivity, and energy levels

So if you deal with chronic back pain or want to avoid problems associated with prolonged sitting, be sure to check out the ergonomic chairs at OfficeMax. Investing in proper lumbar support now can help safeguard your long-term health.

Finding the Most Comfortable Chair for You

When trying to determine the most comfortable OfficeMax chair choice, start by thinking about the type of support your body needs:

• Added lower back support
• Adjustable armrests
• Cushioned or mesh seating
• Adjustable height and recline
• Headrest or no headrest
• Leather versus fabric upholstery

Ideally, you want a chair that allows for movement and proper spinal alignment. Look for one with easily customizable features so you can dial in the fit. This helps take pressure off your lower back. Chairs with breathable mesh also help you stay cool during long sitting sessions.

In general, OfficeMax task chairs offer comfort for basic computer work while executive chairs provide plush, luxurious comfort. Ergonomic kneeling chairs take pressure off the spine. Drafting chairs are ideal for long hours at a desk.

Don’t forget to try display floor models in OfficeMax stores to test chairs for comfort. Take them for a spin and make adjustments to find your sweet spot. Be sure to sit up straight to get an accurate feel for spinal support. This will ensure you select the most comfortable chair for your individual needs.

Gaming Chairs for Maximum Adjustability

OfficeMax understands that gamers log serious hours at the computer and need chairs designed for marathon sessions. That’s why we offer special gaming chairs engineered for comfort, flexibility, and style.

Our OP Seating Pro and Essential gaming chairs feature thickly padded seats and adjustable headrests so you can dial in the perfect sitting position. The seats tilt, recline, and swivel to accommodate your movements. Breathable mesh covering keeps you cool even during tense on-screen standoffs.

The racing-style gaming chairs also come in bold colors like red, blue, and gray with contrast stitching. This allows you to choose a look that reflects your personal style. Complete the setup with built-in speaker pockets and sleek bonded leather upholstery.

Quality Materials for Durability and Style

The materials used in an office chair impact both its comfort and durability. That’s why OfficeMax selects high-quality materials for our chairs including:

• Bonded leather – Soft, durable, and easy to clean. Provides a stylish upscale look.
• PVC leather – Vegan alternative to leather. Eco-friendly and very easy to wipe clean.
• Fabric upholstery – Breathable option available in various colors and patterns. More prone to stains than leather.
• Mesh – Flexible and breathable to keep you cool. Often used on seat backs and headrests.
• Plastic – Molded plastic used for adjustable armrests and chair bases. Scratch-resistant.
• Foam cushions – Provides padding for seat and back. Some chairs use memory foam.
• Steel – Chrome or powder-coated steel used for chair frames, legs, and bases. Provides strength.
• Casters – Rollerblade-style wheels that allow the chair to glide across flooring. Usually made of plastic or rubber.

OfficeMax also uses sustainably harvested wood, aluminum, and other metals in chair construction. Strength, support, and durability are always priorities in material selection.

Pairing the right upholstery material with ergonomic design results in chairs that look great while providing comfort and spinal support. Leather executive chairs convey professionalism while gaming chairs in bold colors and patterns add fun.

With regular care, an OfficeMax chair should provide years of reliable performance thanks to the quality materials used in manufacturing. Be sure to pick a material suitable for your workspace.

Easy Assembly with Included Instructions

Assembling office furniture can be a pain, but OfficeMax aims to make the process straightforward for our chairs. Most models arrive with easy-to-follow instructions plus tools for putting the chair together in just 10-15 minutes.

Common steps for chair assembly include:

• Attaching the base with included screws
• Connecting the gas lift cylinder for height adjustment
• Securing the backrest to the seat plate
• Adding armrests if applicable
• Optionally attaching small parts like headrests or lumbar pillows

OfficeMax instructions use clear diagrams combined with text for simple guidance. All required tools like hex keys are provided too – no need to dig through your toolbox. Simply follow each step carefully to put your new chair together quickly.

For more complex ergonomic or heavy-duty chairs, more time may be required for assembly. Powered chairs require additional steps to install electronics and controls. But clear instructions make the process easy to complete, even if you’re not handy.

Should you get stuck during assembly, don’t hesitate to contact OfficeMax customer service for troubleshooting help. We want your chair experience to be excellent from unboxing to the last seat adjustment.

Manufacturer Warranties Provide Peace of Mind

A concern when buying any furniture online is receiving a defective or damaged product. That’s why OfficeMax partners with top chair brands that back their chairs with solid warranties:

• Most OfficeMax desk chairs include 1-year limited warranties covering defects in materials and workmanship. This guarantees free replacement parts during the first year.
• Select high-end chairs offer extended 5-year or even lifetime warranties. These warranties prove the manufacturer stands behind the quality of their product.
• Gaming chairs often come with 2-year or longer warranties given their complex designs.

Always be sure to check the specific warranty information for the chair model you choose. Register your new chair with the manufacturer too to ensure warranty coverage.

OfficeMax also accepts returns within 30 days if a chair arrives damaged or proves uncomfortable. So you can buy with confidence knowing chairs are backed by warranties and return policies. Just be sure to follow assembly instructions carefully to avoid self-induced damage.

Test Chairs In-Store for Fit and Feel

Reading chair descriptions online is helpful, but nothing beats actually sitting in a chair yourself to assess the comfort and fit. That’s why we recommend visiting your local OfficeMax to test chairs firsthand.

Spend 5-10 minutes sitting in display floor models with proper upright posture. Make adjustments to the seat height, armrests, and recline to find your optimal position. Move around and even type on a laptop if permitted to get a feel for mobility and support.

This test drive allows you to narrow down your preferences and identify any chairs with deal-breaking flaws. Focus on comfort, lower back support, and ease of adjustments. Discard any chairs that feel off.

Jot down the model names of your one or two favorites chairs. Then you can purchase online with confidence knowing the chair suits your needs after taking it for a spin. Or simply purchase your floor model test chair in-store if you can’t wait to start sitting!

So don’t forget to visit OfficeMax and try office chairs in person before buying. It takes the guesswork out of finding “the one” chair that provides ideal comfort and adjustable support for your workspace needs.

Chairs for All-Day Use and Long Hours

Professionals who work long office hours need chairs engineered for all-day comfort. At OfficeMax, several chair styles are designed for prolonged sitting:

• Ergonomic chairs – Excellent lumbar support. Look for adjustable lumbar pads and mesh backs.
• Executive chairs – Plush padding and tall backs cradle your spine. Recline function changes position.
• Kneeling chairs – Takes pressure off the lower back by opening the hip angle.
• Drafting chairs – Thick cushioned seats and breathable mesh backs. Built for extended computer use.
• 24-hour chairs – Highly adjustable for personalized ergonomic positions tailored to your body.

Must-have features for all-day chairs include adjustable armrests, customizable recline, and seat angles that open the hip angle to prevent soreness. Lumbar support is essential too, preferably adjustable based on your spine’s natural curve.

Avoid basic task chairs with minimal adjustments and thin padding if sitting for 8+ hours. The lack of customization will lead to discomfort and soreness over time. Investing in an ergonomic 24-hour chair is worthwhile if you clock long hours.

No matter which chair you choose, be sure to stand and move throughout the day to boost circulation and relieve pressure on the spine. But for periods of prolonged sitting, a customizable OfficeMax chair with ergonomic adjustments will provide the support you need.

OfficeMax Chairs for Tall People

Finding a chair when you’re tall can be a challenge. But OfficeMax offers several chairs with adjustments suitable for people over 6 feet:

• Executive chairs – Typically have tall backs and more room in the seat pan to accommodate long legs.
• Big & Tall chairs – Specifically designed with taller seat heights and larger/wider proportions.
• Drafting chairs – Extended height range on pneumatic lift allows seat to be raised high.
• Adjustable armrests – Ensure armrests can raise up high enough to support your elbows.
• Seat slider – Allows extending the seat pan for extra leg room.
• Tall cylinder – Special lift cylinders provide greater minimum to maximum seat height range.
• Headrest – Provides neck support if standard chair back is too short for your height.

Ideally, look for an OfficeMax big & tall or drafting chair with a seat height that allows your feet to rest flat on the floor. Adjustable armrests should line up with your elbows too when sitting upright.

Test tall display models in-store to find a comfortable fit based on your height. Or measure your ideal dimensions and verify against chair specs when ordering online. This extra effort helps ensure OfficeMax has a chair suitable for your stature.

Enjoy Smooth Height Adjustment

The ability to adjust your chair’s height easily allows you to achieve proper positioning for your workspace. At OfficeMax, most of our office chairs use pneumatic lift cylinders that provide smooth, effortless height adjustments.

Here’s how they work:

• The cylinder attaches to the center of the chair’s base and seat plate.
• A lever under the seat releases gas into the cylinder when pulled outward.
• This gas allows the inner piston to move up and down freely within the cylinder casing.
• When you sit, the chair is locked at a set height. Pulling the lever allows you to either raise up or sit down lower on the piston.
• Releasing the lever locks the chair at the new height.

This system makes it easy to raise or lower your chair by simply pulling the lever. So you can adjust the height to keep your feet flat on the floor and elbows at the proper height for your desk.

Look for a chair with at least a 4-inch height adjustment range to accommodate multiple users. Tall cylinders provide an even greater adjustment range – up to 8 inches or more.

And if you’ll be using your chair at sit-stand desks, be sure it includes an extra tall cylinder that reaches counter height when fully extended. This allows you to maintain proper ergonomics as you transition from sitting to standing.

Keeping Your OfficeMax Chair Clean

To keep your OfficeMax chair looking its best for years to come, follow these cleaning tips:

• Vacuum chair upholstery weekly using the soft brush attachment. This removes dirt and debris before it becomes embedded.
• Spot clean spills and stains on fabric or mesh immediately using a damp cloth and mild detergent if needed. This prevents the stain from setting.
• Wipe bonded leather chairs down monthly with a leather cleaner and conditioner to maintain softness and sheen. Avoid harsh chemicals.
• Disinfect chair armrests and other high-touch areas regularly with Lysol or similar disinfecting wipes.
• Check casters for debris or lint buildup. Remove any obstructions with tweezers so the wheels roll smoothly.
• Tighten loose screws or adjustments. Fraying fabric can be mended with fabric glue. Replace damaged casters.
• Every 6 months, check the pneumatic lift rod. Clean and grease it if needed so height adjustment stays smooth.

Following this routine cleaning and maintenance will help your OfficeMax chair hold up well for many years while maintaining a like-new appearance. Be sure to check the included care instructions for your specific chair model too.

Find Sturdy Office Chairs That Support Your Weight

If you need an office chair able to support 450 pounds or more, OfficeMax has heavy duty options built for users with higher body weights.

Look for chairs meeting BIFMA level 3 or level 4 certification for heavy use. Other durability indicators include:

• Thick padded seat cushions
• Sturdy steel seat plates and arm brackets
• Heavy-duty pneumatic lift cylinders
• Reinforced bases and leg casters
• Dense foam and synthetic leather upholstery

OfficeMax big & tall chairs support up to 500 pounds or more. We also carry XXL chairs rated for 700+ pound capacities for bariatric users. Gaming chairs are typically tested for 400+ pound users as well.

An OfficeMax sales associate can point you towards chairs with higher weight capacities if needed. But most standard task and executive chairs support 300+ pounds – just check the specs to confirm.

Sitting in sturdy, supportive office chairs reduces injury risks and helps heavier users maintain energy and productivity throughout the workday. So rely on OfficeMax’s stable, rugged chairs designed for users with higher body weights.

Chairs for Standing Desk Users

Alternating between sitting and standing is great for your health. That’s why OfficeMax offers chairs engineered specifically for use with adjustable height standing desks.

Must-have features for standing desk chairs include:

• Extra tall seat height – Allows adjusting chair to proper height at desk or in seated position
• One-touch adjustment – Lets you easily raise or lower chair to preset positions
• Small footprint – Takes up minimal space when not in use under desk
• Swivel function – Rotates so you can pivot from your desk to other areas

Look for these types of OfficeMax chairs:

• Extended-height drafting chairs
• Slim adjustable stools
• Active sitting/perching chairs
• Stand-assist chairs with retractable seats

Test chairs out at your standing desk’s height and seated desk position. The chair should adjust to provide proper ergonomic support at both heights.

Investing in a chair designed for standing desks helps you transition effortlessly between sitting and standing throughout the day. Be sure to take regular breaks from both positions for optimal health benefits.
