Am I sitting too far back in my ergonomic chair?

Is Your Ergonomic Chair Too Deep?

An office chair that is too deep doesn't correctly support the lower back and places unnecessary stress on your lower back and legs. Try this test of your chair's depth: Can you place a clenched fist between the back of your calf and the front of the chair? If this is a tight fit, the chair is too deep; move the backrest forward or add a lumbar support or cushion.
