20 Best Ergonomic Office Chairs Under $500 for Your Office

<p dir="ltr">We all have days where we do not get anything done. You feel bored, lazy, and unmotivated, and just can&#39;t get yourself motivated to do anything. You decide to watch some cat videos for some inspiration. Before you know it, you find yourself having spent the whole morning binge-watching Youtube videos.</p>

<p dir="ltr">At lunchtime, you decide to get something to eat, and then you tell yourself you will get back to your task, and do the work this time around.</p>

<p dir="ltr">After lunch, you swing by your desk; you feel lethargic and decide to place your head on your desk for a few minutes. A few minutes turn into a siesta. All of a sudden, it&#39;s 5 pm, you look at what you have done, well you have done nothing!</p>

<p dir="ltr">Fear not: there is nothing wrong with you, but there are things that are making you unmotivated. Here are 7 reasons why you are not motivated, and how to overcome each one of them.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr">1.&nbsp;You have zero connection to your why&nbsp;</h2>

<p dir="ltr"><img loading="lazy" alt="image relates to zero connection" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20200730/You-have-zero-connection-to-your-why--99ac649d94.jpg" /></p>

<p dir="ltr">Can you answer the question, &quot;Why do you do what you do?&quot; Unfortunately, most people cannot answer this question conclusively. They do not know why they do what they do. However, they just find themselves doing things.</p>

<p dir="ltr">For example, if you are asked why your work, what would your answer be?&nbsp;</p>

<p dir="ltr">If you do not have a <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/acquired-spontaneity/201312/why-do-we-do-what-we-do" >&quot;why&quot;</a>, chances of being motivated are minimal. However, if you do know why you work, you will be looking forward to doing your work.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr">2.&nbsp;You reward yourself for everything</h2>

<p dir="ltr"><img loading="lazy" alt="image relates to reward yourself" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20200730/You-reward-yourself-for-everythingdeb9d1fd39.jpg" /></p>

<p dir="ltr">Imagine you have finally gotten the motivation to do what you are supposed to do. So, you settle down at your desk and get started. However, you quickly realize it is too tough, and give yourself a break, and decide to check your social media.</p>

<p dir="ltr">Down the pike, you find yourself putting off your work and telling yourself you will come to it.&nbsp;</p>

<p dir="ltr">When you do come back to it, you feel the same dread and put it off again. And the cycle goes on and on.</p>

<p dir="ltr">The trouble is that <a href="https://psychcentral.com/blog/using-behavioral-psychology-to-break-bad-habits/" >your brain gets used to knowing there are no hard and fast consequences</a> for not finishing a task. In the long run, you find yourself unmotivated to put yourself to work and get anything done.</p>

<p dir="ltr">To cure yourself of this cycle, stop rewarding yourself for not doing anything. Be hard on yourself and say, for example, you will only check social media after you have completed your task. It will take some time to get used to, as you will be rewiring your reward system in your brain. However, this will quickly get you motivated to do stuff. So, in the end, you only reward your good behavior of getting things done, and not leaving them halfway done.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr">3.&nbsp;You do not know what you want</h2>

<p dir="ltr"><img loading="lazy" alt="image relates to what you want" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20200730/You-do-not-know-what-you-want9ee3c6edb5.jpg" /></p>

<p dir="ltr">Most people are indecisive about what they want. They do not have goals that they want to achieve and do not have the ambition to pursue a meaningful life.</p>

<p dir="ltr">So, if you do not know where you are headed, how are you supposed to be excited about it? It is like driving on an unknown road and hoping you will reach a dream destination. Nine out of ten, that destination will be a let-down.</p>

<p dir="ltr">So, do yourself a favor, have some goals. This will give you the motivation to get up and start pursuing things that matter in your life.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr">4.&nbsp;You are relying on willpower</h2>

<p dir="ltr">If you are sitting around and waiting around on your sheer will power to do things, guess what, you will keep on waiting, and nothing will get done.&nbsp;</p>

<p dir="ltr">Willpower is an ability to get things done when we want to get them done. However, since it is ability, you have to practice it for you to harness it.</p>

<p dir="ltr">Therefore, if you have not been exercising your willpower, and are relying on your willpower alone to get things done, you will not be very frustrated. You will soon realize willpower alone cannot get you motivated to work.</p>

<p dir="ltr">You will just have to get started on your work, whether you feel it or not. From there, motivation will find you along the way.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr">5.&nbsp;You are relying on extrinsic motivation</h2>

<p dir="ltr"><img loading="lazy" alt="image relates to extrinsic motivation" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20200730/You-are-relying-on-extrinsic-motivation-839efe8b29.jpg" /></p>

<p dir="ltr">When your boss congratulates you for a job well done, do you feel motivated to keep on working? However, when the praise words fade away, you do not feel motivated?</p>

<p dir="ltr">If you are this kind of person,<a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/creative-leadership/202004/extrinsic-vs-intrinsic-motivation-work#:~:text=Intrinsic%20motivation%2C%20on%20the%20other,the%20love%20of%20the%20work." > it is time to switch to intrinsic motivation</a>. This is the motivation that comes from inside you and stems from inner passions, beliefs, and values that you cultivate in you. If you build on them, they will motivate you for years and years to come.</p>

<p dir="ltr">So, switch from extrinsic motivations like praise, rewards, and stars to intrinsic motivation, which will keep you going no matter what.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr">6.&nbsp;You are stuck</h2>

<p dir="ltr">Are you hitting the same snug over, and over again? You feel like you are not making any progress. This can be causing you to lose your motivation.</p>

<p dir="ltr">If things are stuck, try and change your perspective. With newfound insight, you will be able to overcome the challenges and find your motivation coming back .</p>

<h2 dir="ltr">7.&nbsp;You stay in bed</h2>

<p dir="ltr">How long do you stay in bed?&nbsp; <a href="https://www.scienceabc.com/humans/why-is-it-a-bad-idea-to-stay-in-bed-for-too-long.html" >It has been shown that lying in bed for too long can ruin your mood, well being, and most of all, your motivation.&nbsp;</a></p>

<p dir="ltr">So, the next time you feel like hitting the snooze button, or lazing in bed, know you are hurting your motivation.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr">Conclusion</h2>

<p dir="ltr">Feeling bummed out when you have work to do can be very frustrating. And not knowing how to get out of it, adds salt to injury.</p>

<p dir="ltr">Fortunately, with the above tips, you can now understand why you do not feel motivated and know how to get yourself motivated.</p>

<p>Much of your ErgoChair can be changed and modified to meet you specific needs as a user. As an <a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/office-chairs">ergonomic office chair</a> with premium seating modifications, it&rsquo;s designed to make work feel good. But not all know how to adjust ErgoChair Pro to meet their need.</p>
<p>In this blog, we&rsquo;ll explain the entire range of <a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/office-chairs/ergonomic-chair">ErgoChair Pro</a>&nbsp;features&nbsp;in greater detail.</p>
<h2 id="mcetoc_1i2ga85ji3s6">1. Seat Tilt</h2>
<p>The angle of the seat should be such that you feel most comfortable in an upright posture. The ErgoChair&rsquo;s seat tilt can be adjusted to provide an angle that counterbalances good posture: feet flat, back comfortably resting on the chair&rsquo;s back. Adjust as needed to create a seating surface that gently pulls you back to the chair as you sit in a strong, upright posture.</p>
<h2 id="mcetoc_1i2ga85ji3s7">2. Back Tilt Tension</h2>
<p>The chair back allows the user to recline while keeping the chair balanced. This tension can be controlled with a hand crank on the chair. It can be increased, which increases the amount of force required to make the chair recline. Decreasing it makes the chair easier to recline.</p>
<h2 id="mcetoc_1i2ga85ji3s8">3. Tilt Angle</h2>
<p>Customers love ErgoChair Pro&nbsp;for its comfortable tilt angle. Easily lever the handle up or down to gain a more tilt angle whenever you need it. Use this ErgoChair Pro&nbsp;feature&nbsp;to deeply relax your back and spine.</p>
<p><img class="image" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20200727/Tilt_Anglebf05ab0aa1.jpg" alt="adjust lumbar support" width="1920" height="1080" loading="lazy" data-height="1080" data-image-id="1*1NopxUPiErm1d8PsqwAd4Q.jpeg" data-width="1920" /></p>
<h2 id="mcetoc_1i2ga85ji3s9">4. Back Recline</h2>
<p>The chair&rsquo;s back should be angled such that the user is neither slouched back nor leaning too far forward. The ErgoChair&rsquo;s seat back is adjustable through a handle located on the left side of the mechanisms.</p>
<p><img class="image" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20210607/How_to_Adjust_Office_Chair_Tilt_Step_by_Step_206cf32b742.jpg" alt="Back Recline" width="1920" height="1080" loading="lazy" /></p>
<h2 id="mcetoc_1i2ga85ji3sa">5. Seat Height Adjustment</h2>
<p>The seat height ought to allow users to maintain both feet placed easily on the ground and a minimal amount of weight placed on the backs of the legs. The ErgoChair allows the seat height to be adjusted to accommodate the user at their ideal seat height.</p>
<h2 id="mcetoc_1i2ga85ji3sb">6. Seat Depth</h2>
<p>The seat&rsquo;s depth can be moved forward or backward, depending on the needs of the user. It should be adjusted so that the back of the chair does not press against the calves. A handle under the seat unlocks the seat allowing the user to make the desired adjustment to ErgoChair Pro.</p>
<h2 id="mcetoc_1i2ga85ji3sc">7. Headrest Adjustment</h2>
<p>The headrest can be angled to the user&rsquo;s idea position. It can also move up and down. The headrest has a height range of 70mm allowing it to be placed in the most appropriate position to the user.</p>
<h2 id="mcetoc_1i2ga85ji3sd">8. Armrest Adjustments</h2>
<p>The armrests can be moved up and down as well as left and right. Users need simply grasp the armrests and use a tab hidden under them to move the armrests up and down. The armrests can also move freely on the chair: left and right, in and out. Adjust such that the arms are resting easily at a natural angle that does not strain the shoulders or arms. You can check the pictures below for ErgoChair Pro (ErgoChair 2) armrest adjustment instruction.</p>
<p><img class="image" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/static/upload/images/common/upload/20210820/Must-Have-Accessories-for-Your-Office-Chair_1202c67e6112.jpg" alt="Seat Height Adjustment" width="1920" height="1080" loading="lazy" /></p>

<h2 id="mcetoc_1i2ga85ji3se" dir="ltr">Creating an Ideal Sitting Posture: Adjusting Your Ergonomic Chair for Comfort and Health</h2>
<p>Adjusting an ergonomic chair for an ideal sitting posture is essential for maintaining good posture, preventing musculoskeletal discomfort, and promoting overall health and well-being. Here are step-by-step instructions for adjusting an ergonomic chair:</p>
<h3 id="mcetoc_1i2ga85ji3sf">Adjust the seat height</h3>
<p>Start by adjusting the height of the chair so that your feet are flat on the floor and your knees are at a 90-degree angle. Your thighs should be parallel to the floor. If your feet don't reach the floor comfortably, use a footrest.</p>
<h3 id="mcetoc_1i2ga85ji3sg">Adjust the seat depth</h3>
<p>The seat depth should allow you to sit with your back against the chair's backrest while leaving a small gap between the back of your knees and the seat pan. Adjust the seat depth so that you can sit with your back straight and your buttocks all the way back in the chair.</p>
<h3 id="mcetoc_1i2ga85ji3sh">Adjust the backrest</h3>
<p>The backrest should support the natural curve of your lower back (lumbar curve). Adjust the backrest height and angle so that it fits snugly against the small of your back, providing support to your lumbar spine.</p>
<h3 id="mcetoc_1i2ga85ji3si">Adjust the armrests</h3>
<p>The armrests should be adjusted so that your arms are relaxed and your shoulders are not hunched. Adjust the height of the armrests so that your forearms are parallel to the floor and your elbows are at a 90-degree angle. If the armrests are obstructing you from getting close to your workstation, consider lowering or removing them.</p>
<h3 id="mcetoc_1i2ga85ji3sj">Adjust the recline angle</h3>
<p>Many ergonomic chairs have a recline feature that allows you to tilt the backrest backward. Adjust the recline angle to a position where you can maintain a slightly reclined posture while keeping your feet flat on the floor and your back supported.</p>
<h3 id="mcetoc_1i2ga85ji3sk">Sit back and relax</h3>
<p>Once you have made all the necessary adjustments, sit back in the chair and relax your shoulders. Maintain an upright posture with your back straight, shoulders relaxed, and feet flat on the floor. Avoid crossing your legs for prolonged periods, as it can lead to poor circulation and discomfort.</p>
<h3 id="mcetoc_1i2ga85ji3sl">Take breaks</h3>
<p>Remember to take regular breaks from sitting, and incorporate movement and stretching into your day to promote circulation and reduce muscle tension.</p>
<p>It's important to note that the ideal sitting posture may vary slightly depending on your body shape, size, and personal preferences. Experiment with different adjustments until you find the most comfortable and supportive position for your body. Consulting the chair's user manual or seeking guidance from an ergonomics professional can also be helpful in achieving the ideal sitting posture.</p>
<h2 id="mcetoc_1i2ga85ji3sm" dir="ltr">FAQs</h2>
<h3 id="mcetoc_1i2ga85ji3sn" dir="ltr">What is the ErgoChair&rsquo;s seat tilt for?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">The ErgoChair&rsquo;s seat tilt can be adjusted to provide an angle that counterbalances good posture: feet flat, back comfortably resting on the chair&rsquo;s back. Adjust as needed to create a seating surface that gently pulls you back to the chair as you sit in a strong, upright posture.</p>
<h3 id="mcetoc_1i2ga85ji3so" dir="ltr">What is the back tilt tension's function?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">This tension can be controlled with a hand crank on thechair. It can be increased, which increases the amount of force required to make the chair recline. Decreasing it makes the chair easier to recline.</p>

You can adjust pretty much anything including the height, armrest, headrest, backrest and even the seat tilt. It&rsquo;s got 5 lockable recline positions and even comes with flexible lumbar support for any seated position.

This tension can be controlled with a hand crank on the chair. It can be increased, which increases the amount of force required to make the chair recline. Decreasing it makes the chair easier to recline.
