Well, there are lots of
factors to what makes a chair comfortable or suitable. Many of these relate to
the quality of the components used, including the foam and fabric.
Whilst many chairs look the same – they can be worlds
apart where it matters. We only select chairs (even at the budget end) that we
feel will accurately reflect the price and designed use of the chair.
Below are guidelines as to what you should look for when purchasing your next
office chair.
Back support
A good office chair with proper back support will improve your posture and
therefore eliminate or reduce back pain and stiffness. This should have a good
shape to it and reflect the natural posture of your body.
Seating
The padding and design of the seat should be considered. The front of the seat
should have a shaped or waterfall front edge. A straight horizontal front will
cut off circulation to the rear of your knees. A good rule of thumb is that you
should be able to slide your fingers between the inside of legs and the front
edge of the seat.
Width of the seat and armrests
You need to fit into the chair. If you have to squeeze into the chair then it
does not fit, no matter how comfortable it may seem once you are seated. Most
chairs are made to suit most sizes of people – but for those with more generous
proportions, you should choose a chair with side adjustable arms. There should
be room between the armrests and your body. A good office chair will have
adjustable armrests. Chairs need to be easily adjustable and comfortable to
use. Quality armrests can help with tasks like reading and writing, and taking
pressure and tension off the neck and shoulders. Users with small builds often
can get closer to the desk with elbow supports, or shorter arms (on the chair
not the person!)
Height Adjustments
Some people are tall – some are not so your office chair must have a height
adjustment. The rule of thumb is to adjust your office chair and to promote
good posture are that your thighs should be horizontal to the ground while both
feet are on the ground and wrists should be straight while typing
If you cannot find an office chair height that allows both of the above (if
very tall or very short), you may want to find a way to alter the height of
your keyboard so that you can have straight wrists while typing. Your body
should then be aligned properly with the chair and the floor. We can also fit
shorter or higher gas lifts if necessary at the time of manufacturer on some
chairs.
Stability
Your chair must be stable. It may be amusing for your colleagues to see you
fall off your chair, but you could really hurt yourself.
Suitability
When choosing your chair make sure that you choose one that fits your needs.
It’s no good having a chair that looks great, but is not right for the use if
you are spending 12 hours a day in it and it ends up giving you a bad back
