An OL’s best friend is a comfy chair 🛋️

Being a student, especially a communications one, I’m basically glued to my desk 24/7. Back pain and spin issues are a real concerns for me so I finally decided to invest in a proper chair and I’m so glad I did! Here are some tips to find your perfect chair 🪑

1. What are your needs 🧐

Decide on what is the main issue you are trying to address. Is it back pain? Posture? Comfort? For me, I wanted to address posture and comfort the most

2. Test the chair 🧪

Test the chair you are going to buy. With the ease of online shopping now, it’s super tempting to just go on Shopee or Taobao to purchase a chair. However, testing a chair IRL will allow you to see if the chair fits your needs and if it’s durable.

3. Don’t cut corners ❌

As a student, price definitely mattered to me. While I was trying to find the best deals, I had to learn that the best deals need not provide me with the best features. While budgets are important, for essentials such as this chair, splurging slightly more will do you will in the long run!

My recommendation 🌟 : Ikea Millberget Swivel Chair $169 (on 5% discount right now in lieu of Ikea’s 45 year anniversary)

This chair is an all-in-one for me, helping me address all my issues. The chair is made out of a plush soft leather with a very wide seat. The wide seat helps accommodate to my habit of crossing my legs will working. The long spine of the chair helps correct posture and the presence of arm rests helps improve overall posture.
