We Got Tired of Guessing, So We Started Testing
ErgoFixes exists because “best ergonomic chair” round-ups written by people who never sat in the chair weren’t good enough. We buy every product with our own money, live with it for weeks, and tell you exactly what works — flaws included.
From One Frustrated Remote Worker to a Full Testing Team
ErgoFixes started with a simple problem: hours of back pain, a stack of “best of” articles that all recommended the same three products, and no way to tell which reviewers had actually used what they were selling.
So we started buying accessories ourselves, testing them in real work-from-home conditions, and writing down exactly what we found — good and bad. Readers noticed the difference, and the honest-flaws approach became the whole point of the site.
Today that same approach covers 15 categories and four countries, with the same rule guiding every review: if we wouldn’t buy it again with our own money, we don’t recommend it.
ErgoFixes Is Founded
Launched with a single category — footrests — and a strict rule: every product reviewed had to be purchased, never gifted.
Expanded to All 15 Categories
Grew from a single-category blog into a full ergonomic accessory library covering chairs, keyboards, monitor arms, lighting and more.
Persona-First Guides Launched
Introduced setups built for specific bodies, jobs and budgets — programmers, gamers, students, short and tall people — instead of generic “best of” lists.
Serving Readers in 4 Countries
Now publishing tailored pricing and picks for the US, UK, Canada and Australia, with a dedicated India edition on the way.
The Rules We Never Break
These aren’t marketing lines — they’re the operating rules that shape every review we publish.
Independent Testing
We buy every product ourselves. No free samples, no sponsored units — if a brand sends us something unsolicited, we don’t review it.
Honest About Flaws
Every review lists what didn’t work, even if it costs us affiliate revenue. A deal-breaking flaw gets said out loud, every time.
Persona-First Advice
Generic “best ergonomic chair” lists ignore that a 5’2″ programmer and a 6’4″ gamer need completely different setups. We write for the person, not the average.
Global Perspective
Pricing, availability and picks are localised for the US, UK, Canada and Australia — with an India edition built from the ground up, not bolted on.
Every Review Follows the Same Process
Consistency is what makes reviews comparable. Every product — whether it’s a $12 wrist rest or a $900 chair — goes through the same five steps before it earns a verdict.
We scan best-sellers, reader questions and competing reviews to identify which products are actually worth testing in a category.
Every unit is purchased at full retail price, the same way a reader would buy it. We never accept free samples or sponsored units.
Products are used in an actual home office setup for a minimum of two weeks — not unboxed and photographed for five minutes.
Comfort, durability, value and ease of setup are scored consistently across every product in a category, so ratings are comparable.
Reviews go live with honest flaws included, and are re-checked at least twice a year for pricing, availability and new competitors.
The People Behind Every Review
A small, remote team of researchers, testers and writers spread across the countries we cover.
Sets the testing criteria and reviews every published verdict before it goes live.
Runs the 14-day real-world testing protocol for every chair, desk and standing converter.
Builds the persona-based recommendations for different body types, ages and job demands.
Localises pricing, availability and picks for the US, UK, Canada, Australia and India.
How We Keep Reviews Honest
The policies that stop commissions from ever influencing a recommendation.
No Sponsored Reviews
We turn down every offer of payment for a positive review or guaranteed placement. If a brand pays, we don’t review — full stop.
Clear Affiliate Disclosure
We earn a small commission when you buy through our links, at no extra cost to you. It’s disclosed on every page, not buried in fine print.
Regularly Re-Checked
Guides are re-verified for pricing, availability and new competing products at least twice a year — outdated picks get updated, not left to rot.
