Heights are a guide. What decides it is not how tall you are, but the distance from the floor to the back of your knee, and that varies between people of the same height. The test is to sit down: if your whole foot rests on the floor with your knee at a right angle, the height is right for you. We explain it in detail in how to choose an ergonomic chair.
If it is too high for you, the OSMA footrest solves most cases, and MYLA already has one built in. Gas lifts and the rest of the parts are available in spare parts.
HOW TO CHOOSE
AN ERGONOMIC CHAIR
Ergonomic has become a catalogue word. A sixty-euro chair with a lump of foam sewn to the backrest carries it, and so does a thousand-euro one. What separates one from the other is not the shape or the label, but how much it adapts to you and how long it keeps doing so.
THE LUMBAR SUPPORT
Good lumbar support is recognised by where it supports, not by how much it sticks out. It has to sit in the curve of your lower back, roughly at belt height, and stay there when you recline. If it is a fixed bulge that does not match your back, it is decoration.
There are two ways to get it right, and both are in the range. Adjustable, as on NOMA OFFICE and NOMA, where you choose between four positions until you find yours. And adaptive, as on MYLA, which adjusts itself to your weight and posture, with no controls or knobs, and also moves up and down with the backrest when you change its height.
That is the real difference between a chair with lumbar support and a chair that claims to have it: whether the support moves to your back or whether you are the one who has to sit awkwardly to find it.
MESH AND HEAT
Mesh is not a matter of office aesthetics. It is the most effective way to avoid getting hot. Upholstered foam builds up heat and moisture under you for hours, and in July you feel it. Mesh lets them out from below because air passes through it.
Not all mesh is the same, and what sets them apart is how taut it is on the frame. Loose or low-weight mesh sags in the seat after a few months and the support is no longer where it should be. That is why in the table we give the seat height measured without pressing the mesh, which is the honest measurement, and not the one you get by resting your hand on it.
MYLA uses Flextex, with more elastic travel and better recovery. If you are torn between mesh and fabric, we compare them in mesh chair or fabric chair.
THE ADJUSTMENTS YOU ACTUALLY USE
A chair with twenty adjustments you never touch is no more ergonomic than one with five that are well designed. These are the ones you will use.
Seat height. The adjustment most people skip. It is not decided by how tall you are but by the distance between the sole of your foot and the back of your knee. If the seat is higher, you end up with your feet dangling or the edge pressing into your thigh. We go into it in choosing the right chair for your height and weight.
Seat depth. The sliding seat is there so that two fingers fit between the front edge and the back of your knee. If the seat is too deep, you sit forward and lose the backrest. If it is short, your thigh is left without support. Every model has it.
Backrest height. Only MYLA adjusts it, in twelve positions over six centimetres. It is not a luxury: it is what lets you line the lumbar support up with your back instead of settling for whatever comes from the factory.
Armrests. Three dimensions (height, swivel and width) is enough to work with your elbow at ninety degrees. Four adds depth, and on MYLA they can also be fitted crossed over to move the support back and get closer to the desk.
Synchro mechanism. It is what sets an ergonomic chair apart from a normal desk chair. When you recline, the backrest and the seat move together in different proportions, so your back keeps contact and no gap opens up in the lumbar area. Every model has it.
LONG DAYS, REMOTE WORK AND STUDYING
The best posture is the next one. Eight hours fixed in the perfect position is more tiring than shifting around, which is why it matters as much that the chair moves with you as that it supports you.
In practice it comes down to three things. Free rocking with the tension set to your weight, so you can lean back without feeling the chair is getting away from you. Locking at the tilt you use for typing, which is usually a couple of degrees and not strictly upright. And feet supported, on the floor or on a footrest: MYLA has its own built-in, folding one, and for the rest there is the OSMA footrest.
Desk height is part of the equation. If the armrests do not fit under the desktop, you will not be able to pull in, and if the desk is high you will end up with hunched shoulders all day. Our SKULD desk can be assembled at three heights for that reason.
For studying it is the same equation with fewer breaks and more hours in a row, so all of the above matters more, not less.
WORKING AND PLAYING AT THE SAME DESK
If you are looking for a desk chair for gaming, the question is not which of the two families is better. It is what you spend more hours doing and in what posture, because the chair cannot tell a spreadsheet from a match. It can tell sitting upright from lying back.
When you work you sit upright. Back against the backrest, forearm supported, eyes on the monitor, for six or seven hours. That is where an ergonomic chair clearly wins: it ventilates, the lumbar support works the whole time in the same position, and the fine adjustment makes up for every centimetre of your body. And since keyboard-and-mouse gaming is that same posture, even a little further forward, the chair that works for working works for playing without changing anything.
When you play with a controller you lie back. Backrest reclined, head supported, sometimes with your feet up and a series on in the background. That is where a gaming chair responds better: the backrest is higher, it has a neck cushion and reclines up to 160 degrees, and the high-density foam copes better with the spread weight when you go from sitting to lying back.
The line is fairly clear. If your desk is mainly a work desk and your gaming is keyboard and mouse, mesh. If your gaming is controller, console or reclining all the way, the gaming family fits better. And if you are right in the middle, MYLA is the one that comes closest to both: 3D adjustable headrest, recline up to 135 degrees in five positions and an integrated footrest.
We compare them in detail, with both postures and their measurements, in gaming chairs vs office chairs.
Looking for a high backrest to recline all the way? Then another family of Valkyries is for you: FREYA ELITE, FREYA, GAIA and NYX, in gaming chairs.
For intensive use
High backrest
Fabric or faux leatherFREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the difference between an ergonomic chair and a gaming chair?
The posture they are designed for. The ergonomic one has a mesh backrest, ventilates and is made for sitting upright for many hours with fine adjustment. The gaming one is upholstered foam in fabric or faux leather, with a higher backrest, neck cushion and recline up to 160 degrees, designed for leaning back. Both can be ergonomic: it comes down to the number of adjustments, not the shape.
Is a mesh chair good for gaming?
Yes, and quite well if you play with keyboard and mouse. That posture is almost the same as working, so the chair that works for one works for the other, with the advantage that mesh ventilates better in long sessions. Where it falls short is playing with a controller and reclining a lot, because it does not have the high backrest or the foam that position calls for.
How do I know if a chair’s lumbar support is good?
By where it supports, not by how much it sticks out. It has to sit in the curve of your lower back, roughly at belt height, and stay there when you recline. If it is fixed and does not match your back, it is doing nothing. On NOMA OFFICE and NOMA it is adjustable in four positions, and on MYLA it is adaptive and moves with the backrest when you change its height.
Does mesh sag over time?
No, if it is of good weight and properly tensioned on the frame. The mesh that sags is cheap or poorly tensioned mesh: after a few months it bags and stops supporting where it should.
Are there spare parts if a part breaks?
Yes. First check your warranty: it is 3 years and the part may be covered. If not, in spare parts you will find casters, gas lifts, armrests, mechanisms and screws, original and affordable because we make them ourselves. Compatible with your chair and with many other brands on the market.
MYLA, NOMA or NOMA OFFICE, which should I choose?
MYLA if you want full adjustment: height-adjustable backrest, sliding seat, 3D headrest and integrated footrest. NOMA OFFICE and NOMA are the same chair in two finishes, with fewer adjustments and the same synchro mechanism: they share seat, backrest and measurements, and differ in colour, base and casters. OFFICE in understated grey, NOMA in black with an aqua menthe frame. All three are compared adjustment by adjustment in the table.
