It is lovely when you get something right, and it prompts this type of response.  One of our customers is so happy with her new RH Logic 400 Office Chair that she took the time to right this.

Dear Posture People Team,

Thank you so much, especially David, for your expert advice, time and patience helping me on my way to seat-based happiness.

I have only had my RH Logic 400 for four days but I can already say that it has been a life changing experience.

It has made me realize that for years I have assumed that lower back pain and tense shoulders are a fact of life after 30 and an inevitable occupational hazard of my desk based profession, and had accepted them as something I have to live with.

Not so.

Even after one day my partner commented on my upright (standing) posture. I find myself smiling, alert, skipping along the road and around the flat like a puppy and, amazingly, pain free for the first time in years. My spine is loose and bendy, no cramped up back muscles, even my perpetually stuck iliosacral joint seems to have uttered a sigh of relief and unclenched itself.

I expected to be a bit more comfortable working on a decent chair, but I didn’t expect how huge an effect it would have on my free time! I even sleep better, probably because my muscles aren’t cramped up from the days work.

There are a few points obvious to me now as to how this chair achieves such wondrous results, with me ay least.

Firstly, it adjusts so well and in all necessary directions that I can make it fit my shape exactly. That means all contact points with the chair have about even pressure, I feel like I’m floating, and the chair holds me in a good posture without me having to think about it. It’s actually quite hard to sit badly in this… Fit makes a lot of difference to comfort. Imagine you had to walk eight hours in shoes that only came in Small or Large when you, say, happen to have shoe size 6 and a half. Ouch.

Also, I feel really mobile on the chair, meaning I can move around naturally, but am always supported and guided into a good posture. I feel like I am actively “driving” the chair through the day, in control of it so to say. I adjust it all the time now depending on what I’m doing on the computer. I don’t even have to look any more, everything I want to change I can reach while sitting. More rocking for sketching, so I can lean back and forth scrutinizing, less rocking for delicate detail stuff, backrest further up for drawing, further back for watching tests, put the tilt brake on in any position, take the tilt break off and so on.

I spend more hours a day sitting in my chair than lying in my bed. That amounts to about 60% of my waking life, and I don’t regret investing in that part of my life being a relaxed and enjoyable time.

Have to also thank my brilliant bosses for paying for most of it even though I work from home. But I think it was a good investment for them too, because I have already noticed that I can concentrate a lot better and get a lot more done in a day than before.

Thanks guys,

Happy as a clam,
