If you suffer from lower back pain, poor circulation, or just get fatigued from sitting for long hours, office chairs by Humanscale can provide the needed relief without sacrificing style. Humanscale office chairs are a unique sitting experience, in more ways that one. Not only does the Humanscale Freedom chair feature advanced technology, it is also personalized to a specific sitter, meaning that no Humanscale task chair will be exactly like any other.

Custom fit Humanscale office chairs have the following features and advantages:

1. Advanced lumbar support.
2. A headrest on the Humanscale Freedom chair that comfortably cradles your head.
3. A design that supports spontaneous movement so there is no need to release the chair to change positions.
4. Backrest support on the Humanscale task chair that adjusts based on the sitter's weight.

All of these features blend to make the office chairs Humanscale makes to be among the most comfortable and technologically advanced chairs on the market. Even more impressive is the fact that their popularity means that even a used Humanscale Freedom chair is almost impossible to find anywhere. Still, consider that if you do buy a Humanscale Freedom chair refurbished it can mean missing out on the experience of having the chair tailored specifically to your body. Most buyers, however, will not need to settle for a used Humanscale Freedom chair anyway because a new one can be found at an affordable price, especially when shopping online.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Research the ergonomic benefits of office chairs by Humanscale

The Humanscale Freedom task chair is an impressive chair for those who enjoy fine furniture, but it is also medically significant. The advanced lumbar support feature of this chair is alone more than enough to justify its price tag. If you, or someone at your office, are currently suffering with back problems, there are a number of resources on the web which describe how the Humanscale Freedom chair can help to alleviate these problems.

I recommend: Begin by researching what to look for in any ergonomic chair. Spine-Health offers a detailed checklist of the various parts of a chair and how they contribute to ergonomic health. Secondly, Staples.com offers a detailed look into what features should be considered when buying office furniture. Then to ensure that your Humanscale office chair is ergonomically correct, consult a review of the Humanscale Freedom chair by Office Chair Reviews, as well as this product description at Ergonomic Office Chairs. See all the office chairs by Humanscale at the company's site.

Find a Humanscale office chair vendor online

Given their popularity, finding a Humanscale office chair distributor on the Internet is a simple task. And, it also means that finding a reasonable Humanscale office chair price is possible because so many vendors are competing for your business.

I recommend: Use the Internet to your advantage. A Humanscale Freedom chair can be, at minimum, a $900 investment; so, do not be afraid to take a little extra time to find the best price possible. Start with McErgo and Ergo Depot to get a baseline price.

Be prepared to invest a lot of time if you are looking for used Humanscale chairs

Office chairs: Humanscale are extremely popular chairs. Trying to find the Humanscale Freedom chair used or the Humanscale Freedom chair refurbished can be difficult, given their high quality and uniquely personalized features.

I recommend: Patience. Sites such as Refurbished Office Equipment and ShopSeating both advertise that they have used office equipment and carry Humanscale office chairs, but actually finding one online is difficult. eBay can be a good source of used Humanscale chairs, but you will need to check the site periodically.
