Lumbar support is a standard feature on most office chairs these days, even budget models. Often it's included, but you may have to pay a small fee to add it on. But is having lumbar support really worth it? Unless you have perfect posture, the lumbar spine is the area in your lower back that needs help. A standard office chair may not follow the natura
