OFFICE CHAIRS NEWS : Ugliest Chair Contest by Relax The Back. That ugly chair in your office may be worth something. Relax The Back, the nation's largest specialty retailer of ergonomic products to relieve and prevent back and neck pain, is holding an Ugliest Office Chair Contest, in which contestants submit photos of the ugliest chair in their office to win a Lifeform Ultimate Mid-Back Executive Office Chair, a $2495 value. The contest's goal is to promote the benefits of good office ergonomics, which include increased productivity and greater comfort. "Poor resting posture and inadequate office chair design contribute heavily to the epidemic-like back ailments people face every day," said Leanne Mattes, vice president of marketing for Relax The Back. "In an ergonomic office chair like the Lifeform Ultimate Chair, your arms, posterior, and lower back are supported, so it's easier to work longer, more-productive hours." Besides feeling better, ergonomically friendly chairs can provide tangible financial benefits. Back pain is the number one cause of disability for persons under age 45 and a leading contributor to missed work.
