Helping people work and live better since 2002.
Our story
Ergochair was founded in 2002 to help people sit, work, and live better.
We began by making chairs for people with complex clinical needs. Every chair was unique, and every project was personal – changing someone’s life for the better. Over two decades, we’ve helped millions of people rediscover their potential and get back to work.
Today we’re still driven by the same goals, but now we’re thinking bigger – because most people still work in a chair that doesn’t fit them. Workplace ergonomics needs a reset. We’re bringing our clinical standards of adaptability and personalisation to every workplace, every home office, every seat where performance matters.
It’s time ergonomics got personal.

People and community
We want Ergochair to be a place where people can build a career. That means backing our team with practical support, training and development, and working patterns that leave space for real life.
Our Individual Personal Development Fund helps support wellbeing and further education for our younger workforce. We invest in role training and ongoing development to help people grow their skills over time.
Ergochair as a force for good
From keeping chairs out of landfill to cutting waste in how we make and ship, to investing in our people, here’s how we’re working to be a business our families can be proud of.
We work alongside charities to drive local change – employee volunteering and community fundraising are a regular part of life at Ergochair.
Our values
We redefine ergonomics
Ergonomics has always been about support. We make it personal.
We start with the individual
We create seating for real humans, not generic standards. Personalisation and adaptability are built in.
We innovate
We’re never finished. Human needs are diverse, so we push boundaries, rethink the rules, and keep innovating.
We listen
True insight starts with empathy. Our innovations come from understanding how people move, work, and feel. We don’t assume, we ask.
We do what’s right
Our ethics guide our decisions. From sustainability initiatives to investing in our people, we want to be a business our families can be proud of.
We build with love
The right Ergochair can change a life. Every innovation is an opportunity to make a genuine difference. That’s why we do it.
