An ergonomic office chair should adjust to the user and workstation, supporting the back, thighs, feet and forearms without forcing a fixed posture.
Compare seat range and depth, lumbar position, armrest movement, recline control, base stability, caster type, material and rated load before choosing.

OSHA guidance emphasises adjustability and fit rather than one ideal chair shape.
Set the chair so the feet are supported and the thighs are comfortable without pressure behind the knees. A footrest can solve a desk-height mismatch.
The pan should support most of the thighs while leaving clearance at the back of the knees. A sliding seat helps accommodate users with different leg lengths.
The backrest curve should meet the lower back at the correct height. Recline tension or locking should support movement without pushing the torso forward.
Armrests should let the shoulders relax and elbows stay near the body. They can be counterproductive if they prevent the chair moving close to the keyboard.
A stable five-point base reduces tipping risk, while castors should match hard floor or carpet. The stated user rating must cover the intended load.
Feet should rest on the floor or a stable footrest while the back remains supported.
