As Americans, we spend an alarming amount of hours a day in a seated position. According to a recent study published in JAMA, which analyzed health information from nearly 6,000 individuals, about 25% reported that they are seated for more than eight hours in a single day. For the nearly 65 million Americans suffering from chronic back pain, prolonged sitting can have major consequences, as it places unnecessary strain on the back as well as the arms and legs, according to studies from UCLA Health. That’s why it’s so important to make sure you’re choosing a chair that supports this area of your body—and know how to choose the right office chair.
