Frequently Asked Questions

How does the PTYM compare to the PT78 and PT74 in the Paramount series?

All three are part of the Paramount Value Series with similar ergonomic adjustment platforms. The PTYM is the mid-back model designed for standard-height users. The PT78 is the tall-back version for users who need additional upper back coverage, and the PT74 is the low-back model for users who prefer minimal back contact or have specific postural needs. Our specialists can help you identify which is right for your body.

What armrest options are available?

The PTYM is available with no armrests or with KR-200 height-adjustable armrests for proper shoulder and elbow positioning.

Is this chair suitable for users with lower back pain?

The PTYM's adjustable lumbar support allows you to position lower back support at your spinal curve, which is the primary factor in reducing lower back pain from prolonged sitting. For existing medical conditions, consult your healthcare provider. We offer ergonomic consulting services to help configure the chair correctly for your needs. Learn more here.
