So you’ve set out on the hunt for an ideal home office chair, but one question has lingered for quite some time now: mid-back vs. high-back chairs: What’s the difference, and which will fit best with your lifestyle?
These CONTEMPRA mid-back and high-back leather chairs are two stylish, professional chairs. However, before making your choice, we will explore what each offers us.
Mid-Back vs. High-Back: What’s the Difference?
The main distinction between these chairs is how much of your back they support.
Mid-Back Chairs:
- Are as high as your shoulder blades
- Provides lumbar support but leaves your upper back free
- Compact, sleek, and space-saving
- Allows more movement
High-Back Chairs:
- Extends all the way up to your neck and sometimes your head
- Offers full spinal support, reducing strain on your back and neck
- Great for long work hours or people with posture issues
- Gives a luxurious, executive feel
