Best Ergonomic Office Chair in Singapore (2026)

Introduction: Why Choosing the Right Ergonomic Office Chair Matters More Than You Think

Why Ergonomic Chairs Matter in Singapore

If you work at a desk in Singapore — whether from a dedicated home office in your condo, a compact bedroom workstation in an HDB flat, or a corporate office in the CBD — you are likely spending between six and twelve hours a day seated. As a result, that is a staggering amount of time for your body to remain in a single posture. Consequently, the ergonomic office chair has become one of the most searched-for furniture pieces on the island.

Rising Demand for Ergo Chairs

With search terms like "ergo chair" and "ergonomic chair Singapore" generating thousands of monthly searches, it is clear that Singaporeans are increasingly aware of their seating choices. In fact, many now recognise that the chair they use daily has a direct and measurable impact on their health. Moreover, it significantly affects productivity levels and overall quality of life.

The Problem With Too Many Choices

Yet despite all that interest, many buyers still end up frustrated. For example, the market is crowded with options ranging from budget swivel stools to four-figure imported models, and the marketing jargon can be overwhelming. Every chair claims to be ergonomic, while every listing promises lumbar support and breathability. So, how do you separate genuine ergonomic design from chairs that merely look convincing?

What This Guide Will Cover

Therefore, this Best Ergonomic Office Chair in Singapore (2026) guide is designed to cut through the noise. We will explain what truly makes a chair ergonomic and outline the key features to evaluate before spending a single dollar. Additionally, we will introduce the main types available locally and help you match the right chair to your body type, work habits and budget.

Why Trust Mr Nanyang

Along the way, in this Best Ergonomic Office Chair in Singapore (2026) guide we will also share specific recommendations. From our ergonomic office chair collection at Mr Nanyang. Importantly, every model can be tested at our Toa Payoh showroom before purchase, giving you complete confidence. Furthermore, free delivery and professional assembly are included, ensuring a seamless experience from selection to setup.

Looking for a Broader Overview?

Finally, if you are seeking a wider overview of office chair categories — including mesh, leather, executive, and more — our comprehensive Office Chair Singapore guide explores the full landscape. However, this article focuses deeply on the ergonomic segment specifically, because getting this choice right can genuinely transform how your body feels at the end of each working day.

What Actually Makes a Chair "Ergonomic"? 

The Six Essential Features to Evaluate in Any Ergonomic Office Chair

Now that you understand the principles, let us translate them into practical buying criteria. When you are evaluating any desk chair ergonomic option — whether online or in a showroom — these are the six features that separate a well-designed ergo chair from a mediocre one.

Recline Mechanism and Tilt Tension

A rigid, upright backrest may appear supportive; however, research shows that a slight recline of 100 to 110 degrees reduces pressure on the intervertebral discs compared to sitting at a strict 90 degrees. Therefore, look for an ergonomic office chair with a synchro-tilt mechanism, where the seat and backrest recline together in a coordinated ratio.

As the backrest moves two to three degrees for every one degree of seat tilt, the hip angle remains open and comfortable. In contrast, a backrest that tilts independently can strain the lower body. Equally important is adjustable tilt tension, typically controlled by a dial beneath the seat, allowing users of different weights to fine-tune recline resistance.

Backrest Material: Mesh, Fabric, or Leather

In Singapore, backrest material is more than an aesthetic decision; instead, it directly affects thermal comfort. With average daily temperatures around 31 degrees Celsius and humidity often exceeding 80 percent, airflow becomes essential. Consequently, mesh-backed ergonomic chairs have grown increasingly popular in local homes and offices.

A well-constructed mesh back promotes ventilation, dispersing heat and moisture throughout long work sessions. By comparison, fabric upholstery offers a softer feel but traps warmth. Meanwhile, leather and PU leather create a polished executive look; however, they retain the most heat and may feel sticky without consistent air conditioning.

Build Quality and Weight Capacity

Build quality is difficult to judge from product photos alone. For this reason, testing a chair in person provides valuable insight. A stable five-star base, preferably reinforced nylon, aluminium, or steel, ensures durability. Likewise, a certified Class 3 or Class 4 gas lift supports safe long-term weight capacity.

Additionally, polyurethane casters roll quietly and protect flooring better than hard plastic alternatives. When seated, the frame should feel solid, without wobbling or creaking. Ideally, the chair should support at least 100 to 120 kilograms and include a minimum two-year warranty on its mechanism and structural components.

Types of Ergonomic Chairs: Finding Your Best Match

The phrase "ergonomic chair Singapore" covers a surprisingly broad category. Not all ergo chairs look the same or serve the same purpose. Understanding the main types will help you narrow your search to the style that best suits your work, your body, and your space.

Full-Mesh Ergonomic Chairs

Full-mesh ergonomic chairs use tensioned mesh fabric for both the backrest and the seat. As a result, air flows freely through the entire seating surface, making them especially suitable for Singapore’s tropical climate. In addition, they typically feature a sleek, minimalist appearance and are lighter than foam-padded alternatives.

However, the trade-off is firmness. In particular, some users find an all-mesh seat less forgiving during the first few weeks of use. Over time, the mesh gradually adapts to the body’s contours, but initial comfort may feel different from a cushioned seat.

Our Infinity Mesh Office Ergonomic Chair (SGD 275) is a popular example — it features a full mesh construction with an adjustable lumbar support system that lets you dial in exactly the right amount of lower-back pressure. It is one of the best-value full-mesh options in our range and has become a favourite among work-from-home professionals across Singapore.

Mesh-Back, Cushioned-Seat Ergonomic Chairs

By contrast, mesh-back, cushioned-seat models combine ventilation with plush support. Specifically, the mesh backrest promotes airflow, while the high-density moulded foam seat delivers a softer sitting experience. Consequently, users enjoy cooling comfort against the back and pressure relief beneath the thighs and sit bones.

For this reason, this configuration has become one of the most popular ergonomic chair choices in Singapore. It balances breathability and cushioning, making it suitable for long hours of desk work in both home and corporate environments.

The OptiSeat Max Ergonomic Office Chair in our collection exemplifies this design — it pairs a curved mesh backrest with a contoured mesh-over-foam seat cushion that has become especially popular among our female customers for its balance of support and softness. If you have tried a full-mesh chair and found the seat too firm, a mesh-back cushioned-seat model is the logical alternative.

High-Back Ergonomic Chairs

High-back ergonomic chairs extend upward to support not only the lumbar and thoracic spine but also the upper back and often the head and neck. Therefore, they are particularly beneficial for taller users or individuals who spend extended periods reading, attending video calls, or reclining while working.

In addition, many high-back models include adjustable headrests, allowing users to fine-tune neck support. This extended structure promotes full-length spinal alignment, especially during longer, reclined sitting sessions.

Our Odin Office Ergonomic Chair is a high-back mesh model that provides full-length spinal support from the lumbar all the way to the cervical region, with an adjustable headrest that accommodates a wide range of heights.

Mid-Back Ergonomic Chairs

Meanwhile, mid-back ergonomic chairs typically support the spine from the lumbar region to around the shoulder blades. As such, they are lighter, more compact, and visually less dominant than high-back designs. This makes them ideal for smaller rooms and shared spaces.

Furthermore, mid-back chairs tuck neatly under desks when not in use. For home offices integrated into bedrooms or living areas, this streamlined profile offers practical support without overwhelming the space.

If your home office doubles as a bedroom or living area — as is common in many HDB flats in Singapore — a mid-back ergo chair may be the most practical option. The CurvaTech Office Ergonomic Chair in our range features a distinctively curved mesh back that wraps around the torso, providing excellent lateral support in a mid-back frame.

Ergonomic Office Armchairs

In addition to task chairs, ergonomic office armchairs blend functional adjustability with a softer, more traditional aesthetic. While standard ergonomic chairs often emphasise visible mechanisms, office armchairs integrate lumbar contouring, tilt recline, and height adjustment into a more residential design.

Consequently, they are popular in home offices where the chair remains visible within living spaces. They provide ergonomic support while complementing domestic interiors rather than resembling corporate furniture.

Our Daebak ComfortPlus Ergonomic Office Chair captures this blend well — Korean-style cushioned comfort with the key ergonomic adjustments built in. If "armchairs office" is a phrase that resonates with your search, this is the category to explore.

Ergonomic Study Chairs

Finally, ergonomic study chairs cater to students, freelancers, and flexible desk users. Typically, they are slightly more compact, often with lower backrests, and are designed to pair well with study tables or writing desks.

As a result, they suit bedrooms and smaller work areas where space efficiency matters. Despite their size, they retain essential ergonomic features to support focused study or work sessions throughout the day.

The PosturePro Ergonomic Study Chair is our dedicated study-office crossover, and the ErgoFlex Mesh Study Chair offers breathable mesh construction in a study-friendly form factor.

How to Choose the Best Ergonomic Chair Singapore Has to Offer

With so many options on the market, finding the best ergonomic chair Singapore has to offer requires a structured approach rather than simply browsing listings and hoping for the best. Therefore, it helps to evaluate each chair systematically instead of relying on brand names or promotional claims alone.

Step One: Start With Your Body

Before you look at a single product page, take honest stock of your physical dimensions and any existing discomfort. How tall are you? What do you weigh? Do you already experience lower back pain, neck stiffness, or numbness in your legs after long periods of sitting?

The answers to these questions determine which features are non-negotiable for you. A person of 175 centimetres and 80 kilograms has very different needs from someone of 155 centimetres and 55 kilograms. If you already have lumbar pain, adjustable lumbar support is essential, not optional. If you experience neck tension, you should strongly consider a high-back chair with a headrest.

Step Two: Assess Your Workspace

Measure the space where the chair will live. Consider not only the floor area but also the height under the desk (will the armrests clear the desk edge?), the distance from the desk to the wall behind (a reclining chair needs more room than a fixed-back one), and whether you need to move the chair between rooms or tuck it away when not in use.

In many Singapore homes — particularly in HDB bedrooms repurposed as home offices — space is at a premium. A compact mid-back ergo chair with a narrower footprint will be far more practical than a sprawling high-back executive model.

Step Three: Set a Realistic Budget

The CosyPro Desk Ergonomic Chair offers a genuine ergonomic experience at a budget-friendly price, while the OptiSeat Pro Ergonomic Office Chair (SGD 340) represents our best-selling sweet spot — adjustable armrests, synchro-tilt recline, breathable mesh back, and a build quality that justifies the investment over years of daily use.

Step Four: Test Before You Buy

This is perhaps the most underrated step in the entire process of buying an ergonomic chair in Singapore. While online reviews and specification sheets provide useful comparisons, they cannot replicate how a chair feels under your specific body. The tension of the mesh, the firmness of the lumbar support, the armrest height range, and the smoothness of the recline are all tactile experiences that differ from person to person.

Therefore, testing a chair physically before purchase can prevent costly mistakes. What feels perfectly supportive for one user may feel too aggressive or too soft for another. In addition, small differences in seat depth, backrest contour, or tilt resistance often only become noticeable after sitting for several uninterrupted minutes.

For this reason, we maintain a physical showroom in Toa Payoh where you can try every ergonomic chair we carry. You can adjust each model to your body dimensions and take the time needed to evaluate its comfort properly. If you are investing in a chair for daily use over the next three to five years, spending thirty minutes testing it in person is one of the most practical decisions you can make.

Step Five: Think Long-Term

A cheap office chair that looks fine for the first six months but develops a wobbly gas lift, cracked armrest pads, or sagging mesh by the end of the first year is not a saving — it is a waste. Consequently, choosing a durable, well-built chair prevents recurring costs and the discomfort of replacing poorly made models.

When you amortise the cost of a quality ergonomic chair over its expected lifespan of five to eight years, the daily expense becomes negligible. For example, a SGD 340 chair used five days a week for five years works out to about SGD 0.26 per day — less than the cost of a cup of kopi. In this sense, your ergonomic chair should be viewed as an investment in both health and productivity, rather than just a piece of furniture.

Setting Up Your Ergonomic Office Chair Correctly: The Adjustment Guide

Why Proper Adjustment Matters

Even the best ergonomic office chair will fail to deliver its benefits if it is not set up for your body. Many people buy a quality chair, sit in it at the factory default, and wonder why their back still hurts. Proper adjustment is essential to prevent discomfort, promote healthy posture, and ensure that every ergonomic feature works as intended over extended use.

Adjusting Seat Height

Start with seat height. Sit with your feet flat on the floor, thighs roughly parallel to the ground, and knees bent at approximately 90 degrees. If your feet dangle, the seat is too high; if your knees rise above your hips, it is too low. Correct seat height ensures proper weight distribution through your legs and reduces pressure on your lower back for long-term comfort.

Adjusting Seat Depth

Next, adjust seat depth if your chair offers this feature. Slide the seat pan so there is a two- to three-finger gap between the front edge and the back of your knees. Your full thigh should rest on the seat to ensure even weight distribution. Proper seat depth prevents pressure on the back of your legs and promotes better circulation during long hours of sitting.

Setting Lumbar Support

Now set the lumbar support. The pad or mesh tension should press gently into the inward curve of your lower back, roughly at the level of your belt line. If it is too high, it pushes your thoracic spine forward awkwardly. If it is too low, it does not support the lumbar curve. Correct lumbar adjustment maintains spinal alignment and prevents chronic lower back strain.

Adjusting Armrests

Adjust the armrests so your forearms rest naturally, with shoulders relaxed and elbows at roughly 90 degrees. If your chair has 3D or 4D armrests, bring them close enough together to support your forearms while typing, and angle them slightly inward. Proper armrest adjustment reduces tension in your shoulders, neck, and upper back, preventing fatigue and promoting ergonomic posture during long work sessions.

Recline Tension and Headrest

Set the recline tension so the backrest supports you when leaning back without feeling like it is fighting or letting you fall. A slight recline of 100 to 110 degrees is ideal for most tasks. If your chair has a headrest, adjust it to cradle the back of your skull so your neck muscles can fully relax. Headrest adjustment prevents strain on the cervical spine during prolonged sitting.

Take Time to Adjust

Taking ten minutes to go through each adjustment when you first receive your chair will make a remarkable difference. Properly configured settings maximize comfort, promote spinal health, and ensure that the ergonomic features perform as intended. Over time, these small adjustments can significantly reduce fatigue, tension, and discomfort, making your investment in an ergonomic chair worthwhile.

Ergonomic Office Chairs and Singapore's Work-From-Home Reality

The Rise of Work-from-Home in Singapore

The work-from-home movement, which accelerated across Singapore from 2020 onward, shows no signs of reversing. Hybrid arrangements are now standard in many industries, and a significant number of Singaporeans work from home at least two to three days per week. This shift has permanently changed how people think about home office furniture, highlighting the importance of seating that supports long hours of desk work without causing discomfort or fatigue.

Early Challenges with Home Seating

In the early days of remote work, many people improvised with dining chairs, folding stools, or whatever seating was available. Within months, the consequences became obvious: rising reports of lower back pain, neck stiffness, wrist strain, and general fatigue among home-based workers. The link between poor seating and these symptoms created a clear need for proper ergonomic chairs, a trend reflected in the growing demand for quality office seating in Singapore.

Space Constraints in Singapore Homes

Space is a major challenge for home offices, especially in HDB flats. Many bedrooms used as offices measure only eight to ten square metres, leaving little room for large executive setups. Chairs need to fit under or beside study tables, navigate narrow doorways, and remain visually compatible with living spaces. These constraints have made compact mid-back ergonomic chairs extremely popular among Singaporean home workers seeking both functionality and aesthetic balance.

Pairing Chairs with Study Tables

This is why pairing an ergonomic chair with a well-designed study table often makes the most sense for Singaporean home offices. Compact tables allow the chair to fit seamlessly, while maintaining a functional workspace. Our range of solid wood study tables addresses these space limitations, and many customers purchase a study table and ergonomic chair as a matched set, creating a comfortable, practical, and visually cohesive home office environment.

Climate Considerations

Singapore’s hot and humid climate further impacts chair choice. Mesh chairs provide essential breathability, especially in rooms without air-conditioning or with only ceiling fans. Material selection plays a key role in comfort during long hours of sitting. In such conditions, a full-mesh ergonomic chair is not a luxury but a necessity, helping home workers stay cool, reduce sweat buildup, and maintain comfort and productivity throughout the day.

Comparing Mr Nanyang Ergonomic Office Chairs: Which One Fits You?

To help you narrow down your choice, here is a concise comparison of the most popular ergonomic office chairs in our ergonomic office chair collection. Each model addresses a slightly different set of priorities.

Infinity Mesh Office Ergonomic Chair

The Infinity Mesh Office Ergonomic Chair (SGD 275) is our best value full-mesh option. Both the backrest and seat are mesh, making it the most breathable chair in the range. It includes adjustable lumbar support and a smooth tilt mechanism. This is the ideal choice for budget-conscious buyers who prioritise cooling and simplicity.

OptiSeat Pro Ergonomic Office Chair

The OptiSeat Pro Ergonomic Office Chair (SGD 340) is our best-selling mid-range model and the one we most frequently recommend as the best ergonomic chair Singapore buyers can find in its price bracket. It offers adjustable armrests, synchro-tilt recline with tension adjustment, a mesh backrest with built-in lumbar support, and a high-density foam seat. It strikes the best balance between features, comfort, and price.

OptiSeat Max Ergonomic Office Chair

The OptiSeat Max Ergonomic Office Chair is a variation that has earned a strong following among female users and anyone who prefers a softer seating surface. Its mesh-over-foam seat cushion provides more contouring than a pure mesh seat while retaining good airflow.

CurvaTech Office Ergonomic Chair

The CurvaTech Office Ergonomic Chair features a distinctively curved mesh backrest that wraps around the sides of the torso, providing lateral support that most flat-backed chairs lack. If you tend to shift and lean to one side while working, the CurvaTech's embracing design helps keep your spine centred.

Odin Office Ergonomic Chair

The Odin Office Ergonomic Chair is our high-back flagship — full mesh, tall backrest, adjustable headrest, and a commanding visual presence. It is the right choice for taller users, for anyone who wants neck and head support, and for home offices where the chair is a centrepiece.

Daebak ComfortPlus Ergonomic Office Chair

The Daebak ComfortPlus Ergonomic Office Chair takes a different aesthetic direction, inspired by Korean ergonomic design philosophy that emphasises plush cushioning and a warmer visual feel. It is the best ergonomic chair Singapore buyers should consider if they want ergonomic functionality in a more domestic, living-room-friendly design — an office armchair, essentially, that happens to have serious back support built in.

CosyPro Desk Ergonomic Chair 

The CosyPro Desk Ergonomic Chair is our budget-friendly entry point. It delivers the core ergonomic essentials — lumbar curve, height adjustment, breathable back — at a price that makes genuine ergonomic seating accessible to students and young professionals starting out.

All of these chairs are available to test at our Toa Payoh showroom, and every purchase includes free delivery and free assembly anywhere in Singapore.

Common Mistakes When Buying an Ergonomic Office Chair (And How to Avoid Them)

Even well-intentioned buyers can make errors that reduce the benefits of their ergonomic chair investment. Understanding these pitfalls before purchase can save money, prevent discomfort, and ensure your chair performs as intended. The following are the most frequent mistakes we encounter among Singaporean buyers, along with practical advice on how to avoid them.

Mistake 1: Buying Based on Appearance Alone

A chair that looks sleek and modern in photos may have rigid lumbar support, fixed armrests, or a tilt mechanism that barely moves. Relying solely on aesthetics can lead to disappointment. Always review specifications carefully and, whenever possible, test the chair in person. Ensuring the design matches your ergonomic needs is far more important than how it looks in marketing images or showroom displays.

Mistake 2: Ignoring Adjustability

A chair with only a seat-height lever is not truly ergonomic; it is a basic office chair with a gas lift. Genuine ergonomic design requires multiple adjustment points—lumbar height, seat depth, armrest dimensions, recline tension—so the chair adapts to your body, not the other way around. Always confirm the chair offers sufficient adjustability to support long hours of sitting without compromising posture or comfort.

Mistake 3: Choosing the Wrong Size

Selecting a chair that doesn’t match your body dimensions is a common error, especially when buying online. Seat height, seat width, and backrest height must correspond to your height and build. A chair designed for someone 175 cm tall will not properly support someone 155 cm, and vice versa. Always check the specifications against your body measurements to ensure the chair provides proper lumbar support, leg clearance, and arm positioning.

Mistake 4: Neglecting Proper Adjustment

Even a well-designed ergonomic chair will cause discomfort if it isn’t set up correctly. Common adjustment mistakes include lumbar support being too high or low, armrests improperly positioned, or tilt tension unsuitable for your weight. Taking the time to configure your chair according to your body—following the adjustment guide—ensures that every feature works as intended, protecting your spine and reducing fatigue during long periods of work.

Mistake 5: Expecting the Chair to Solve Everything

A chair is only one part of a healthy workstation. Desk height, monitor position, keyboard and mouse placement, and even lighting affect posture and comfort. A perfectly adjusted chair cannot compensate for a monitor that is too low or a desk that is too high. Think of the ergonomic office chair as the foundation of your workspace, supporting good habits and complementing other ergonomic elements for optimal health and productivity.

Maintaining Your Ergonomic Office Chair: Tips for Singapore's Climate

Singapore’s heat and humidity can be tough on furniture, and office chairs are no exception. Regular maintenance ensures your ergonomic chair continues to perform well and look good for years. A few simple habits, performed consistently, can prevent common issues like sagging mesh, sticky PU leather, or squeaky casters, keeping your home office comfortable and hygienic despite the tropical climate.

Cleaning Mesh Back and Seats

For mesh-backed or mesh-seated chairs, vacuum gently every few weeks to remove dust, dead skin cells, and debris trapped in the weave. If stains appear, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow the mesh to air dry completely before use. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, which can weaken the mesh fibers and reduce their lifespan. Regular care preserves both comfort and airflow in Singapore’s humid environment.

Caring for Foam-Cushioned Seats

Foam-cushioned seats require a slightly different approach. Use a fabric-safe upholstery cleaner every few months to remove dirt and sweat buildup. Since foam can absorb moisture from Singapore’s humid air, it’s advisable to leave the chair in a well-ventilated area overnight occasionally. This prevents trapped humidity from causing mildew or odor, helping your chair remain supportive, hygienic, and comfortable over extended daily use.

Checking the Gas Lift and Tilt Mechanism

Every six months, test the gas lift and tilt mechanism by sitting in the chair and moving through all adjustment ranges. If the seat sinks gradually on its own, the gas lift cylinder may be losing pressure and should be replaced. Most quality chairs use standard-sized gas lifts, making replacements affordable and easy. Regular checks ensure your chair continues to support proper posture safely and reliably.

Maintaining Caster Wheels

Caster wheels often accumulate hair, dust, and carpet fibers, which can hinder smooth rolling. Clean them monthly with a pair of scissors or a small brush to remove trapped debris. Smooth-spinning wheels reduce strain when moving the chair and protect flooring. Consistent maintenance keeps your chair functioning quietly and efficiently, especially in smaller Singaporean home offices where frequent repositioning is common.

Caring for PU Leather Components

PU leather armrests and other components require regular wiping with a damp cloth to remove oils and sweat. In Singapore’s humid climate, this prevents cracking, peeling, and premature wear. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing too hard, which can damage the surface. With consistent care, PU leather elements retain their appearance and comfort, complementing the ergonomic features of your chair for long-term use in a tropical environment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Ergonomic Office Chairs in Singapore

What is the difference between an ergonomic chair and a regular office chair?

A regular office chair typically offers basic seat height adjustment and perhaps a fixed recline. An ergonomic office chair goes further with adjustable lumbar support, multi-dimensional armrests, synchro-tilt mechanisms, seat depth adjustment, and materials selected for sustained comfort during long sitting sessions. The design of an ergo chair is informed by research into human biomechanics and spinal health, whereas a regular office chair is designed primarily for basic function and appearance.

How much should I spend on an ergonomic chair in Singapore?

For a genuinely well-designed ergonomic office chair with mesh back, adjustable lumbar, and multi-position armrests, expect to spend between SGD 250 and SGD 500. Below SGD 200, you will generally sacrifice important adjustability features. Above SGD 500, you are paying for premium materials, brand prestige, or advanced features that may not be necessary for most users. The SGD 300 to 400 range represents the sweet spot for most Singaporean buyers.

Can an ergonomic chair help with existing back pain?

An ergonomic office chair can significantly reduce lower back pain caused by poor sitting posture, especially if your current chair lacks lumbar support. However, if you have a pre-existing spinal condition, it is important to consult a physiotherapist or orthopaedic specialist for personalised advice. An ergo chair is a powerful tool for prevention and posture correction, but it is not a substitute for medical treatment.

Is a mesh or cushioned seat better for long hours?

In Singapore's climate, a mesh backrest is almost always preferable for breathability. For the seat, it depends on personal preference. Some people find mesh seats supportive and cool; others prefer the softer, more forgiving feel of foam. If you are unsure, a mesh-back chair with a cushioned seat — like the OptiSeat Max — gives you the best of both worlds.

Do I really need to test an ergonomic chair in person?

We strongly recommend it. Online reviews and specifications can guide your shortlist, but the tactile experience of sitting in a chair — feeling the lumbar pressure, testing the armrest range, sensing the recline tension — is something no product listing can replicate. This is why we encourage all our customers to visit our Toa Payoh showroom, where every chair in our office chairs collection is available for hands-on testing.

Does Mr Nanyang offer free delivery for ergonomic chairs?

Yes. Every ergonomic office chair purchased from Mr Nanyang comes with free delivery and free assembly anywhere in Singapore. Our delivery team will set up the chair in your workspace and take away all packaging materials so you can start using it immediately.
