The Gregory Legacy: Pioneering Ergonomic Design

Four Million Australians Live with Chronic Pain

According to the Australian Physiotherapy Association, one in six Australians experience chronic back pain daily. 

Physiotherapist Peter Gregory founded a company to tackle the biggest cause of back pain in Australian office workers – poorly designed chairs. Driven by a physiotherapy-informed approach, Gregory's design philosophy focuses on comfort and support. 

This dedication led to the development of their patented Dual Density Posture Support System that features: 

✅ Two foam densities in the seat: firmer foam in the front and softer in the back.
✅ Softer rear section allows the pelvis to sink into the correct position.
✅ Firmer front section prevents forward sliding and slumping.
✅ Helps maintain the spine's natural "S" curve.
✅ Reduces pressure on the lower back by up to 44 pounds compared to traditional chairs.

Ergonomic Excellence: The Gregory Chairs Advantage

What sets Gregory Chairs apart is their unwavering focus on ergonomic design principles. Each task chair provides optimal support for the body's natural curves, promoting proper posture and reducing the risk of musculoskeletal issues associated with prolonged sitting.

Key Ergonomic features:

  • Dual Density Posture Support System: This innovative seat design features firmer foam in the front and softer foam in the back, encouraging correct pelvic positioning and discouraging slouching.
  • Multi-lever mechanisms: Independent seat height adjustment, seat tilt, and back angle allow for a customised fit.
  • Breathable materials: High-quality fabrics and mesh options promote air circulation, enhancing comfort during long sitting periods.

Investing in a Gregory chair is an investment in your health and productivity. Here's why:

Finding the Right Fit for Your Body

Before you make the best decision for your back, consider these things: 

  • Height and seat depth: Choose adjustable seat depth for shorter users. Taller individuals need higher backrests. Ensure proper fit for your height.
  • Weight capacity: Standard configuration supports up to 160 kg. With options such as seat slide or arms the weight rating is currently 110kg.
  • Width: Broader individuals should opt for wider seats to ensure comfort throughout the workday.
  • Lumbar support: For lower back pain, select models with adjustable lumbar support. 
  • Ergonomic features: Look for multiple adjustment points (seat height, tilt, armrests) to create an ideal setup for your body.
  • Cushioning: For extended desk time, prioritise Dual-Density foam. A firmer front discourages slouching, while a softer back enhances comfort.
  • Breathability: Tend to overheat? Consider models with mesh backrests for improved airflow during long work sessions.
