Office chair Vs executive chair – what’s the difference?

What makes an executive chair different from a standard office chair?

You may have noticed that we have several different chair categories on our website. It occurred to us recently that not everyone is as well-versed in the intricacies of chair terminology as we are, and an explanation of different chair types might be useful.

Perhaps you’re in the market for a new chair, perhaps you’re just filling in some crucial gaps in your general knowledge. Either way, you’re about to find out everything you’ll ever need to know about executive chairs – the most luxurious and exclusive category in our range – and how they differ from the standard office chair. First, let’s have a brief overview of the ever-popular and reliable office chair.

What is an office chair?

Put simply, an office chair is a seat designed for use in an office or workspace. Office chairs come in different shapes and sizes, for various needs and body types. There are high back and medium back options, in a range of styles and finishes. Here at Posturite, we specialise in ergonomic office chairs, which offer the best support to protect against aches and pains.

What is an executive chair?

An executive chair is a specific, premium type of office chair. Executive chairs are tall-backed, providing superior comfort and support for the entire upper body.

Executive chairs are an icon – their height and quality conveys authority. In other words, the ‘boss chair’. The best chair around – commanding power with a tall, elegant back, sturdy arms and premium upholstery (traditionally black leather). Short of buying a throne, sitting on an executive chair is a great way of signalling to everyone that you’re in charge.

However, executive chairs aren’t all about image. The high back and premium build quality guarantee next-level comfort, especially for tall people who can benefit from the extra space and back support that executive chairs offer.

Why buy an executive chair?

While all of the chairs we sell meet our strict quality criteria, our executive range is just that little bit fancier. You’ll want to buy one if you:

• Are looking for a stylish, high-end chair for your home office.
• Have a senior role in your company, or are buying for someone who does.
• Are particularly tall.
• Simply enjoy the finer things in life.

What are the benefits of buying an executive chair?

Apart from the obvious benefit of having an extremely slick, stylish and comfortable chair to sit in while you work, here some further executive chair benefits (bearing in mind that all of the executive chairs we sell are ergonomic):

• You can choose your own specifications to create a bespoke design, from back height and fabric colour, to the finish on your foot base.
• Plenty of adjustment options so you can tinker with your chair until it perfectly supports you in all the right places.
• Create a lasting impression – executive chairs are designed to look good, ideal for making good first impressions with visitors and clients.
• Improve posture for lower risk of aches, pains, injuries and long-term health problems.
• Reduce need for replacement – these are top quality chairs with an extremely good build quality and generous guarantees (up to 10 years).
