What’s the difference between a task chair and an ergonomic chair?

When you shop with Source, you may see some overlap between the two categories. That’s because task chairs and ergonomic chairs share a common goal of providing support and comfort throughout the workday. Ergonomic chairs usually offer more adjustment settings to support good posture during long hours of focused work at your desk, while task chairs are great for jobs that involve a bit more movement and variety, in addition to desk work.

Are task chairs good for home offices?

Yes. Task chairs are great for home offices because of the ergonomic support they provide. Many of our task chair options are also smaller and more compact in profile, which is great for smaller workspaces if you don’t have a full office at home.

What should I look for when shopping for a task chair?

Task chairs are all about comfort and support. You want to make sure your task chair provides the right amount of cushioning for comfort, and have adjustment settings for personalized ergonomics that will support you throughout the work day.

What is the weight capacity of your office task chairs?

Our ergonomic task chairs have weight capacities ranging from 250 lbs to 400 lbs. You can find this information online under product details when you select one of our task chair options.

Can I try your ergonomic office task chairs at a store?

One of the best perks of shopping with Source is getting to try our chairs in person at one of our showrooms across the country. You can test out as many task chairs as you like to find the perfect fit. Plus, our in-store specialists have years of experience and are always ready to guide you through the options.
