For instance, there is this saddle chair that can be used as a desk chair or computer chair. Ergonomic chairs in the shape of a horse's saddle and puts the user in a position somewhere between sitting and standing which allows the legs to drop naturally, creating a healthy and stable position. Or there is the exercise ball chair.

For the more conventional ergonomic chair types there is the recliner chair that allows the user to be sitting in a reclined position.

Most ergonomic chairs have adjustable height to be appropriate for different users. It is intended to eliminate some of the typical health problems experienced with a traditional office chair.
