Comparator and head to head
Pick two.
We give you the evidence.
Here you choose: any two or three products from one category, crossed instantly. Radar, bars, spec-by-spec table and a one-sentence verdict — and if you have used ErgoCheck or the measurement filters, calculated with your measurements. Below, the head-to-heads we have already published, each with its own page.

How this comparator works
Of the same type: chairs with chairs, desks with desks. Comparing a chair with a keyboard says nothing.
The manufacturer's official specs go through the same formula for everyone — the one published in how we choose.
If you have been through ErgoCheck or a category's filters, the "fit to you" axis appears and the verdict is recalculated for your body.
Frequently asked questions
Where do the comparator's scores come from?
From the specs published by the manufacturer, run through the same formula for every product in the category. The formula is published in "how we choose": no hand-picked scores and no unverified user ratings.
What does "fit to you" mean?
It is the percentage of fit between the product's specs and your measurements (height, weight, hours a day or hand size). It only appears if you have used ErgoCheck or a category's filters in this browser; your data never leaves it.
Can I compare products from different categories?
No, and it is deliberate: the criteria for a chair and for a desk are not the same, so pitting them against each other would give a meaningless number.
Why is the exact price not shown?
Because it changes daily and the Amazon agreement requires showing the live price at the store. We publish the band, which is what you really need to decide, and the link takes you to the current price.
Are the links affiliate links?
Yes, some of them. If you buy through them we earn a commission at no extra cost to you, and we say so on every page. It does not change the order or the scores.
