WHAT EXACTLY IS AN EXECUTIVE CHAIR?
The term executive chair is not officially defined, but there are some features that distinguish the executive chair from a simple office chair. However, there are many differences between the products. An executive chair is the right choice if you have high demands on material and prestige. Many of our customers are always amazed at how inexpensively they can upgrade their office with the noble and prestigious appearance of these chairs.

Decide for yourself which features are important to you when you buy an executive chair:
- While simple work chairs often have fabric upholstery, the executive chair features genuine leather or imitation leather upholstery.
- In general the boss's chair offers a slightly higher backrest with a comfortably upholstered neck area to subtly emphasise the hierarchy.
- Luxury versions include numerous adjustment options that allow the chair to tilt, incline or adjust in height particularly comfortably.
- Unlike simple office chairs, the executive chair usually has armrests that can be additionally upholstered..
Depending on the design, individual versions also offer additional extras such as a separately adjustable headrest, particularly rich upholstery or even a reclining function with optional fold-out leg rest. Depending on the manufacturer, there are also models with particularly attractive decorative stitching or pocket spring upholstery.
THE THREE QUALITY CLASSES OF EXECUTIVE CHAIRS?
In the private sector or for work at home, executive chairs of the "home office" class are suitable. They are designed for sitting for up to 4 hours a day. The next class, "professional office", is already suitable for professional use with an average usage of about 6-8 hours per day without any problems. These chairs are designed for high durability and ergonomics. Finally, under "Luxury" you will find the top products, with the highest standards of quality and appearance.

WHAT FACTORS ARE IMPORTANT WHEN BUYING AN EXECUTIVE CHAIR?
Sitting time - If 4 hours per day is specified as the maximum or recommended sitting time, this means that if you sit for a longer period of time every day, back and joint pain or posture problems may creep up to you. For the sake of your health, you should therefore not only pay attention to the price, but above all to the suitable sitting duration. Chairs with a sitting duration of 4 hours a day are appropriate in terms of quality and the requirement of the sitting time and are usually also considerably cheaper than the professionally usable chairs with a higher sitting duration. For everyday office use, it is advisable to choose executive chairs with a recommended sitting time of 8 hours. These are usually equipped with high-quality and abrasion-resistant fabrics. The upholstery provides maximum comfort even during a long working day.
Freedom of movement – You want to be able to move quickly from your desk to the filing cabinet without having to get up? A modern office chair on castors makes it happen! For optimal stability, make sure that the chair has at least five castors that can be turned in all directions. Also, choose a design that matches the floor covering. This means: on a hard floor, castors with a soft rubber coating (soft floor castors) provide increased comfort, while hard rubber castors are more suitable for soft carpeted floors.
Physique - A good armchair can only fulfil its purpose if it fits its owner perfectly. Therefore, decide on a design that is suitable for your physique. In addition to the body height, the body weight is particularly important when you want to buy an executive chair. Therefore, pay attention to the information in the respective product description, which provides information about whether the model meets your needs. If you are tall and strongly built, it is advisable to narrow down the selection to suitable models using the search term "executive chair 150kg".
Ergonomics - Are you prone to back pain, do you often suffer from neck tension or regularly complain about headaches? Sitting incorrectly while working could be the reason for your problems! Therefore, choose an ergonomically designed chair that ensures an upright sitting posture and good support in the lumbar region. Also look for high-quality, dimensionally stable upholstery materials. The higher your body weight, the harder they should be. Of course, the armrests and headrest primarily have a supporting function, but they also help to make the chair look presentable. Both parts should be height-adjustable so that the executive chair is really comfortable and lets you keep your posture.
Upholstery - Particularly in prestigious areas, it is advisable to choose an executive chair in genuine leather. Whether you opt for classic black or prefer another colour depends on the style and furnishings of your office.
The advantage of a dark cover is that it gets dirty less easily than a light-coloured executive chair. On the other hand, the lighter cover heats up much less. We also offer executive chairs with mesh backrests, which keep you cool and comfortable, especially in the summer. White executive chairs are also available, which are used in elegant practice rooms, for example. Other versions have a hard-wearing polyester fabric cover that looks particularly good in a modern setting. Whether contemporary or classic, multi-coloured or plain: in our shop you will find a large selection of beautiful executive chairs at low prices and in all designs. Our tip: It's best to order the matching visitor chair at the same time. This ensures that your office furnishings are perfectly coordinated.
REAL LEATHER EXECUTIVE CHAIR OR IMITATION LEATHER EXECUTIVE CHAIR - WHICH IS BETTER?

Leather is always the preferred material for an executive chair, as it scores in many ways. On one hand, it naturally looks very noble and underlines the representative character of your office furniture. This effect is further enhanced by black leather, because the colour black (which is not actually a colour at all) is generally regarded as dignified and elegant or even luxurious. Whether you opt for real leather or imitation leather is up to you - both are easy to care for, although real leather is much higher quality, but more expensive.
Advantages of an executive chair made of genuine leather:
- pleasant surface feel, feels good to the touch
- Genuine leather is breathable and permeable to water (absorbs moisture without getting wet).
- Comfortable to sit on even in summer, you don't stick to the seat.
- Over the years, genuine leather acquires its own patina, whereas cheaper imitation leather often looks worn.
High-quality imitation leather also offers good features: it is cheaper, nowadays almost as durable and somewhat easier to care for, as it is not quite as sensitive to stains.
IN SUMMARY - THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS IN A NUTSHELL
In our shop, you can choose from a wide range of products if you want to buy an executive chair at a reasonable price. Whether you opt for a prestigious leather executive chair or prefer a modern version with polyester cover depends on the furnishing style of your office and your personal taste. To ensure that the chair suits you perfectly, you should ask yourself the following questions before you decide to order:
- Does the chosen model have enough individual adjustment options?
- Is the chair suitable for your body weight?
- Does the material of the castors match your floor surface?
- Is the price of the model within the intended budget?
The following applies to all of this: the more of your daily working time you spend in the office, the higher the quality of your chair should be. This way, you can avoid physical complaints such as back pains keeping you from concentrating on your daily tasks. Therefore, use the diverse selection in our shop to find the right design!
