Features like this are part of the new ergonomic designs in office chairs.
The need for ergonomic design in office furniture in general came about as the information technology age grew and more of us were spending greater amounts of our day seated in front of our desks. Elements of ergonomic office chair design are very simple. One needs the back rest of the chair to be providing basic lumbar support which is then reinforced through high quality foam padding. Adjustable chair height is essential, as the modern office is based upon use of the keyboard and computer monitor. Those items must be placed in easy reach and at a comfortable line of sight. For those who simply cannot bear to part with their old chair, numerous office chair accessories are available to improve ergonomic support.
