The safety castors are a nice touch, and have a pressure-sensitive brake mechanism, which keeps the chair in place when you stand up, and releases automatically when you sit down. The Markus chair can help, thanks to its supportive mesh back and built-in lumbar support. Despite this, many tall people love this chair, which suggests the headrest and other features are set in the most ergonomic positions.Įffective lumbar support is considered essential for good back health and correct posture is known to help alleviate back tension. The armrests are padded but do not adjust, and although there’s a built-in headrest, it’s not adjustable, which might be a problem for some people. Though the Markus chair doesn’t have as many adjustable features as some other chairs, its height and tilt can be easily adjusted and the back can be locked in place to provide a comfortable upright seating position or a more relaxed reclined one. The breathable mesh backing - which is generally a feature of more expensive chairs - ensures that you can stay cool and supported, which is important during the hours of Zoom calls and long working sessions. The ‘Glose Back’ version has a comfortable, padded leather seat, which not only looks the part, but with its protective coating, is durable and easy to keep clean too. It is undeniably Ikea with the simple, modern look so typical of the Swedish manufacturer. What sets this chair apart is its design.
