Office chairs have been both the bane of my life and the saviour of my spine. In my office work days, in a criminally underfunded NHS department, the geriatric office chair I was assigned left me with frequent backache and tight muscles in my shoulders from hunching. The Boulies EP400, however, would have been a joy to use; it’s heavy on the ergonomics with almost every element being adjustable.
I got the EP400 in for testing over several weeks, and shared use of it with my partner over the testing period to see how it functions with different-height users (I’m 5’4 and he is 6’3), and whether it can compete with the best office chairs for back pain out there.
