How to Choose the Best Ergonomic Chair
Choosing the right ergonomic chair can have a huge impact on comfort and work productivity while offering a stylish and modern look to your space. Many office workers sit for 40 hours every week, and their chairs affect both their health and well-being. Even if you won’t be sitting in your chair for quite as many hours, be sure to consider adjustability, support and materials when choosing an ergonomic chair.
Adjustability
Every part of an ergonomic chair should allow for custom adjustments, which makes the chair more useful for varying heights and needs. The ability to raise or lower a seat or recline a backrest allows users to modify their chairs as they wish.
Support
Ergonomic chairs will also help you keep good posture while working. Proper lumbar support follows the inward bend of the spine. It is important to have enough curve for support yet still be comfortable. Chairs with a modifiable lower back curve are the best options for spinal health. Also, a backrest that can recline as well as adjust forward and backward is ideal.
Materials
Chairs with low-quality fabric and padding may be cheaper, but materials are key in ergonomic chairs. Look for tough, easy-care fabrics that breathe. Also, make sure the seat padding won't compress with use. Flat, bunched chair pads cause painful spine and hip issues over time. Paying a bit more for strong, stable materials is the smarter choice.
Additional Features
When comparing models, consider an ergonomic chair with adjustable armrests that allow the shoulders to relax and ease upper body tension. If your office space has low-pile carpet or tile, wheels may be a good option, too.
Whether in your home office or company headquarters, poor seating can make or break a workspace. Adjustability, support and materials are critical factors when choosing an ergonomic chair.
