The Best in Ergonomic Chairs It's not just a luxury--ergonomic office furniture is key to keeping you and your employees healthy and productive.

Office furniture is more than just a place to set your monitor and coffee mug. It's your home for a good chunk of the workday. Comfort isn't a luxury; it's an important contributor to your health and productivity. Ergonomic desks and chairs help you and your employees ward off repetitive-motion and other work-related injuries.

Look for adjustable-height chairs that provide support for the lower and upper back. Desks and workstations also need to accommodate monitors and keyboards at the proper height (most brand-name furnishings will).

The La-Z-Boy brand, for example, may not connote a busy workplace. But La-Z-Boy has learned something designing all those high-end recliners and over-stuffed chairs, and it now incorporates that technology into a line of business chairs. The $802 Sintas Managerial Series Mid-Back Chair not only looks distinguished, but also features a sinuous spring suspension for back comfort and lumbar support.
