What is Lumbar Adjustability?

The ability to modify the support provided to the natural curve of the lower back.

Definition

Lumbar adjustability allows users to change the position, depth, or firmness of the chair's backrest in the lumbar region (lower back). Some chairs offer simple up/down adjustment, while others provide more granular control over the curve's intensity.

Why It Matters

Proper lumbar support maintains the natural S-curve of the spine, preventing slouching and reducing pressure on the lower back, which is crucial for comfort during long periods of sitting.

What to Look For

Chairs with multiple adjustment options (e.g., depth and height) offer superior customization.
