Which office chair is ergonomic, and how does it compare with others?
The Ergo-Score® gives you better guidance when choosing a new office chair. From now on, you can conveniently compare the ergonomics and features of a desk chair at a glance – with the Ergo-Score®.

Ergonomics is a multi-layered concept that takes various factors into account, such as posture, freedom of movement, spinal support and individual needs. This complexity can only be summarised in a metric such as the Ergo-Score® under certain conditions.

Seating comfort, and therefore the ergonomic fit of an office chair, is perceived differently by each person. What feels ideal for one person may be uncomfortable for another. When considering the Ergo-Score®, please always bear in mind that it objectively relates to the ergonomic properties, functions and mechanism of an office chair.

Unlike the Nutri-Score for food, there are no generally recognised and standardised measurement criteria for office chairs to assess quality in general. That is why hjh OFFICE has developed a scale from which the Ergo-Score® is calculated.

Depending on the features the respective office chair offers, an individual score is calculated, which then determines the Ergo-Score®.
Thanks to the well-designed scale and the individual assessment of each office chair by our ergonomics experts, you can use the Ergo-Score® as a guide.

The Ergo-Score® is a valuable tool for assessing the ergonomic quality of office chairs and other workplace products. It enables an objective comparison of different products and serves as a practical guide when making your choice.
However, please note that the Ergo-Score® should not be the only criterion in your decision, and always take your individual needs into account as well.

The Ergo-Score® is an evaluation system that assesses the ergonomic features of office chairs and other workplace products. It serves as a guide to make it easier for you to choose an ergonomically suitable product. The Ergo-Score® is based on measurable criteria such as adjustability, lumbar support and the mechanism installed, among other things. These criteria are assessed in a multi-stage process and combined into an overall score. The Ergo-Score® is generally displayed as a letter, with better letters indicating higher ergonomic quality. It is important to note that the Ergo-Score® should not be the only criterion. Your personal comfort, the type of work you do and the length of use should also be taken into account. Pay attention to which system is used and only compare products using the same system. A high Ergo-Score® is no guarantee that the chair is personally suitable for you. Ideally, try the chair yourself to make sure it meets your needs.
