If your chair includes removable lumbar pads or else headrests, keeping of them clean truly helps. You extend overall use also when they are in good condition.
With reasonable care, your ergonomic chair becomes a long-term part of your daily routine not something that breaks down after a year or two. Yes, you can expect for a quality ergonomic chair to deliver on consistent comfort all the time and to last for several years.
