I visited the Ergonomics showroom and was able to test out the various chairs – this one supported me the best and was good value for money, compared to some of the other high end office chairs out there.
A fantastic product – I use it when standing at my sit-stand desk; it’s extremely supportive and encourages you to move and increase the circulation in your legs.
In my job as a tour operator, I spend most of the day sitting in front of a computer. While I’ve long been aware of the possible negative effects on health, I put off doing something about it until my back and shoulders started giving me major problems. Massages and chiropractic treatment helped to an extent, but can only do so much when the core issues (sitting the whole day in a chair that doesn’t offer the correct support for your body type, peering at a badly positioned screen) are not resolved.
I then tried out the F3B sit-stand desk “on appro”, not expecting to like it at all, but was very surprised. In conjunction with the monitor arm and chair (and guidance from Sean), I was finally able to get into the correct position when seated at my computer. In addition, the ability to move the desk into a standing position definitely encourages you to take regular breaks from “over-sitting”; I actually now spend more of my day standing than sitting.
It’s not an inexpensive purchase but is well made and will last decades; more importantly it’s saving me a small fortune in medical bills.

I first tried out the F7 monitor arm (https://www.ergonomicsdirect.co.za/laptop-and-monitor-stands/monitor-stands-and-monitor-arms/flexispot-f7-single-monitor-mount) and the Net1 chair https://www.ergonomicsdirect.co.za/ergonomic-chairs/chairs/netone-high-back) both of which which helped me get into a better position at my desk.
