Which chair is right for me?
What is the best ergonomic chair for you? Choosing an ergonomic chair that is right for you is an important decision.

You can also fill in the Questionnaire at the bottom of the page or download the Chair Assessment Form at the bottom of this page, and return it to us and we will get back to you as soon as possible to discuss your requirements. (We feel that a human factor is necessary and this is why we don't have an automatic chair selector).

Look at the MDK Activ 1, Sven G1, or Adapt 600 range of seating for examples of some of the chairs that will suit the smaller stature. Read more...
