Ergonomic Chair FAQ
DEAS (Desk Ergonomics Assessment Score) is Desk Doctor's product rating system. Each chair is scored across adjustability, postural support, and build quality, then penalized for design compromises. The composite is a 0–10 figure — higher is better. Tap any chair in the table to see the full sub-score breakdown.
Enter your height, weight, and desk height, and the filter runs them through the Desk Doctor Chair Selector Table — the same anthropometric lookup used in our full assessment. It produces a target seat height and seat depth for your body at that desk, then shows only chairs whose adjustment ranges can actually reach those numbers. If your desk height is unworkable for your height, it flags that first, since no chair can fix a desk that's the wrong height.
A headrest helps mainly if you recline often or have ongoing neck symptoms. If you sit upright and work forward, it adds cost without much benefit. Filter to "Headrest available" if it matters to you.
Higher-priced chairs tend to score better on adjustability and durability, which is why they rank near the top. But a mid-range chair that fits your body correctly will outperform a premium chair that doesn't. Fit first, price second.
Scores are refreshed as products are revised and new models are tested. The table always reflects the current DEAS data — the top pick today is the top pick now.
