Our mothers were right, we were wrong - so we admit it! 🏆It turns out that our mothers acted before the ergonomic experts of the whole world!

Yes friends, how you sit is a digital signature of who you are. But wouldn't you rather have a happy 😊 than an emoji screaming "help!"?

Choosing a Chair: Or "Ways to Choose Your Throne Properly"
"Not Every Chair Is a Throne!" - Proceedings from the Kingdom of Ergonomics
Dear herniated disc friends, let us tell you a bitter truth: That super expensive gaming chair of yours can actually turn into a torture device! Here are some important notes from the "Choosing a Throne 101" course:
Golden Rules for Choosing a Chair:
- Lumbar Support : Don't say "I'll put a pillow and it'll be okay"!
- Good lumbar support is as important as the blue tick on WhatsApp
- Being adjustable is as valuable as Instagram filters!
- Armrest : For those who say "I have arms, that's enough!"
- 90 degree angle is required (your geometry teacher will be proud)
- Adjustable arm rests = Happy elbows
- Height Adjustment : Special note for those who say "I can put a book under it"
- Your feet should be on the ground (no more swinging legs in the air!)
- Ideal height = Knees 90 degrees + feet flat on the floor
Chair Myths and Facts:
🚫 Myth : "The most expensive chair is the best!"
✅ Fact : The most ergonomic is the best (There are budget-friendly ergonomic chairs!)
🚫 Myth : "I'll buy a gaming chair and solve it."
✅ Fact : Ergonomic features are important, not gaming (Light chair will not save your back!)

- Are the armrests adjustable? (Are your elbows happy?)
- Is the height adjustment smooth? (You're not fighting gravity, are you?)
- Are the wheels slipping? (We don't want to do office drift!)
- Does it make noise when spinning? (We don't want squeaky concerts!)
