Why Standard Chairs Fail Tall People
Most office chairs are designed for average heights (165-180cm). If you're 185cm or taller, you likely experience: backrest too low (no upper back support), seat depth too shallow (pressure behind knees), and gas lift that doesn't go high enough.
The solution isn't just "buy a bigger chair" — it's finding chairs with the right combination of seat height range (50cm+), backrest height (65cm+), and adjustable seat depth (48-52cm).
Key Specs for Tall Users

Backrest Height: 65cm+
Provides proper upper back and optional headrest support.
Seat Depth: 48-52cm
Adjustable depth prevents pressure behind knees for long legs.
