Experts managed to connect those pains with numerous hours, spent by many modern people, working in a sitting position. Many offices, stores and various organizations are presently open longer than before, starting earlier in the morning and staying open later in the evening. Many people sit in their chairs from early morning to the evening, which results in the development of chronic pain.

Scientists began to develop ergonomic furniture, such as mesh chairs, in order to alleviate the chronic back and neck pain many workers suffer from. Initially, much of the furniture they made worked incredibly well, but was pretty ugly from a design standpoint. Modern mesh office chairs are a great representative of the style advances of ergonomic furniture industry.
