Executive chairs for office desk

Executive chairs

Executive chairs are designed more for comfort, status, and style, and typically do not have many controls. They are passive ergonomic chairs, which mean that they have low-intensity controls that help improve long-term lower-back health. Executive chair features focus on the type of work executives perform and not on intense computer work, but the more casual assignments, and phone work.

Leather executive chair and other upholstery

The most common material selected for executive chairs is leather, or mock leather, as leather provides comfort and high-end style. More often than not, the base of an executive chair is chrome, because chrome also offers that higher-end look. Some customers choose a black or aluminum base, however.

High back executive chair

There are multiple options for the height of the back of the chair: high-back, mid-back, and low-back. Mid-back or high-back executive chairs are the most common choices. Executive chairs have the option of a mesh back, but that is not a common choice. Although they are not as popular now, there are still more traditional executive chairs that can feature Queen Anne carved legs, button-tufted upholstery, and nail-head trim.

Executive chair with arm rests

As executive chairs often seat people for hours every day, they are designed to support the natural curve of the spine and provide maximum comfort. Some executive chairs can also have a head rest option, for maximum neck support and comfort.
