How does body weight affect lumbar support needs in a drafting chair?

Heavier users require firmer lumbar support and higher tilt tension resistance, otherwise the lumbar pad provides insufficient resistance and the user leans through it without benefit. Lighter users may find stiff lumbar pads uncomfortable and prefer softer, more flexible support. Some drafting chairs offer adjustable lumbar depth and height, accommodating a wider range of users. Big and tall models also typically include reinforced lumbar mechanisms. OfficeFurniture2go.com can recommend models based on user weight and height — call 1-800-460-0858.
