Are you a style conscious super villain looking for a dramatic throne/office chair?

If I were a super villian, hanging out in my skull island lair... this would be my office chair of choice. Maybe not the most ergonomic solution out there, but talk about making a statement!

On top of that - this thing functions as a "sensory deprivation chamber" - providing a calming retreat from those stressful diabolical schemes that always seem to go awry.

One blogger's search for office chair relief

Finding the Perfect Office Chair: Aeron vs. Swiss Ball vs. the FBI's Pick...

Written by Tim Ferriss of www.fourhourworkweek.com

(Total read time: 8 minutes)

In this post I'll cover how I identified the best high-end chairs in the world, which I ultimately chose, and the tangible results that followed.
In January of 2005, I found myself on a veranda in Panama after the usual afternoon rain, dreaming of the upcoming year and reflecting on lessons learned since leaving the US. Maria Elena, the matriarch of the Panamanian family that had adopted me, sipped her iced tea and pointed at my bruised feet:
"Tim, let me share some advice I was once given. Buy the most comfortable bed and pair of shoes you can afford. If you're not in one, you'll be in the other."
I followed her advice upon returning to CA and the results were sudden: Plantar Fasciitis disappeared, as did shoulder impingement after switching from coil-spring to foam-layered mattresses.
But what about chairs? On January 4th, 2009, I tweeted out the following:
"Is the Aeron chair worth it? http://tr.im/2uxd Do you have any fave chairs for extended sitting and writing?"

An ergonomic desk chair that even a student can afford!

In just a few short weeks millions of college students will be headed back to school, many for the first time. As these students get ready to invest their time, and perhaps their parents money in this important milestone, it might be worth spending just a few extra minutes and dollars setting them up with the right tools for success. At Sit4Less.comour mission is to provide ergonomic, stylish seating options at an affordable price, putting those tools for success within reach!

In the article 10 Things Every Parent Should Do to Help Their College-Bound Kid, authors Jeremy Hyman and Lynn Jacobs put comfortable seating as their number four recommendation. “Splurge on some furnishings. Your child will have a more pleasant college experience – and might study harder, too – if you get him or her some nice dorm accessories. Start with a plush chair and iPod speakers, than move on to a good desk lamp and desk chair. Think of them as ‘house warming’ gifts.” Sit4Less.com carries a huge selection of ergonomic office chairs designed and engineered to maximize productivity by reducing operator fatigue and discomfort. Ergonomic seating enables the user to sit comfortably for the day (or study session), while being supported where the user needs it most. Imagine a chair that curves and supports the shape and movement of the back. By doing so, circulation is improved and clear-minded thinking will ensue. Ergonomic chairs increase productivity and create a positive working environment. Just what a midnight cram session calls for!

These ‘house warming’ gifts don’t have to break the bank. At Sit4Less.com parents and students a like are sure to find the right chair at the right price. Consider the Sit4Less exclusive Space 5500, which offers pressure-relieving comfort in the exclusive Zero-Force Foam seat cushion. Combined with the form fitting mesh back, providing flexible and ergonomic support, it’s a task chair that is built to last at an incredibly low price point of $165. Of course, Sit4Less.com is proud to offer an entire line of name brands such as Herman Miller, Steelcase, Humanscale and Haworth in addition to their house and exclusively co-branded offerings manufactured for the company.



In addition to a huge selection of seating options, Sit4Less.com works hard to provide ergonomic office and work space accessories, so that human potential is maximized. Ergonomic principles have been brought to the one element that was just sitting there, the desk. Herman Miller’s Envelop desk is the first desk designed to help the user, the chair, the computer all work together for better health and comfort. Envelop is the first desk that moves with you! Of course the smaller features of an ergonomic workspace are not to be overlooked. Consider the M2 Monitor Arm, which allows the user to adjust and reposition the monitor quickly and easily, ensuring each user can work in ideal ergonomic conditions. Or the Switch Mouse by Humanscle; a revolutionary mousing solution. This peripheral device boosts comfort and reduces injury risks through a number of new innovations. Its V-shaped base and four-way scrolling dish complement a built-in palm support for exceptional user comfort.

In the blog Adventures in Gradland, the author describes their experience with the wrong desk chair. “I’ve been suffering from some pretty intense back pain for the past three days, and I think I know the cause – my crappy desk chair. So I thought I’d send out a warning to anyone who spends a large amount of time at a desk: do not skimp on your chair!”

As the new school year approaches, consider adding an ergonomic chair and desk accessories to the list of must haves. At Sit4Less.com we are confident of the difference a good chair can make!
