Frequently asked questions

Which chair is best for people who sit all day?

Choose a task chair with lumbar support, height-adjustable armrests and a synchronised tilt. Test a sample if the order is large.

How do I pick a chair for a cabin and for staff?

Use high-back chairs for cabins and medium-back task chairs for staff, so that cost goes where comfort and appearance matter most.

Does a mesh chair last longer than a cushioned one?

Quality of the mesh and frame matters more than the type. Common brands include Godrej, Featherlite, Nilkamal and Wipro.
