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.

NetOne (High Back)

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 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.

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.

Great quality monitor arm!
Very easy installation, and great range of movement – this has made a massive difference to my desk space.
Installed 1 x 23″ and 1 x 27″ screens on this one.

Because of sitting behind my computer for hours everyday I felt the need for a chair which improves my posture and assists me with sitting in a more healthy position.

This chair has been the answer and it is not only comfortable, it also takes up little space. My posture improved and I use my core muscles more.

Ergonomicsdirect Saddle Chair

I suffered a serious elbow injury a few years ago. Working in the IT industry, I tend to spend long periods typing/programming every day and my standard layout keyboard was causing pain and fatigue.

I switched to an Advantage2 roughly two months ago, and though I still hit the wrong key occasionally, the learning curve wasn’t as steep as originally suggested, and the pain and discomfort has lessened significantly.

ErgonimicsDirect was kind enough to offer me my money back if the keyboard didn’t work for me, but I’m happy to say that I didn’t return it.
