Since I have had the Corrigo chair, I have found that I have been able to work at the desk all day and have no back or neck ache at the end of the day.  It has been a liberation.  The chair has clearly been designed with a deep knowledge and understanding about the body, posture and ergonomics.  The advice from the company has also been invaluable in terms of knowing how to use the chair properly.

‘One of the benefits of  going freelance after leaving the BBC was being able to choose my own office chair!  The Corrigo felt right as soon as I sat in it.  For me the two things that stood out were the well cushioned seat which offers the right level of positive support and the unique backrest which fits snuggly against your spine.  The compact shape of the chair allows your body to move freely whilst being correctly supported.  Having experienced the discomfort of poorly designed chairs, I can highly recommend the fully adjustable Corrigo.’

It was Back Care Awareness week from 10th -17th October 2009.   Jamie Mitchell’s blog for World Interior Design magazine, talks about Corrigo’s participation in raising awareness for this week.

Thought for the Day:

‘My Dad worked for United Way for 38 years.  And do you know what he said when he retired?  I wish they’d given me a more comfortable chair!’

I’d been suffering from sciatica for some time and tried various chairs, stools, kneelers and cushions but with no improvement. I was seriously considering giving up desk-bound work, until a friend recommended checking out the Corrigo chair as being quite different. I read about the chair on their website, and thought I would try it, nothing to lose. The chair arrived promptly, and a delightful lady from the company came and fitted it for me. It’s incredible!!! Literally within a week or two my leg pain had gone, and I can now sit for long periods in comfort. I’m recommending it to everyone I meet, back and leg pains or not! And all I can say is a huge thanks to Corrigo for getting rid of my leg pains!

See if you can spot the Corrigo, with headrests, on BBC drama Holby City.

They can be seen in the doctors’ offices. Every now and again they make a little guest appearance so keep your eyes peeled!

Version 3 (as seen on the website):

It is our policy to let our design be guided by our clients. We are trying to create the ideal chair after all. Following requests for the arm pads to be a little longer, Version 3 has a brand new pair of arm pads. We have also made some other, more subtle changes based on our on-going user trials. This includes a sleeker base and a more intuitive backrest support. We hope you like it.

The Junior Corrigo:

Following the popularity of the “Grown Up” version, we’ve created a scaled down chair for the kids. Due to the increase in homework and back pain in children, we created a homework chair for 7 to 14 year olds. This can be adjusted to fit each child individually and will grow with them as they get older. Find out more >>
