Ergonomic office chair
Looking for an office chair that promotes good posture and provides comfortable seating? Then an ergonomic office chair is a great choice. Ergo2Work offers a wide range of ergonomic office chairs for home or office use. In this page, we will discuss the benefits of ergonomic office chairs and provide some tips on what to consider when choosing the right chair.
What is an ergonomic office chair?
An ergonomic office chair is a chair designed to provide proper support to the user's body. The goal of this chair is to reduce pressure on the back, neck, shoulders, and arms while sitting. It is important for a office chair to be ergonomic in order to prevent health issues such as RSI and back pain. Ergonomic office chairs often have adjustable features such as chair height, backrest, and armrests, allowing the user to customize the chair to their own body.
What should an ergonomic office chair meet?
Many people ask themselves the question: 'which office chair should I use for back pain?'. The answer to this question is an ergonomic office chair. However, this ergonomic office chair must meet various criteria to be comfortable and supportive for the user. Below are some important features of a good ergonomic office chair:
Adjustable seat height
The height of the chair must be adjustable so that the feet can rest flat on the ground and the knees can be placed at the same height as the hips.
Adjustable backrest
The backrest of the chair must be adjustable so that the user can adjust the backrest to the natural curvature of the back and provide adequate support to the lower back.
Adjustable armrests
The armrests of the chair must be adjustable so that the user can comfortably support the arms while typing and keep the shoulders relaxed.
Breathable fabric
The upholstery of the chair must be breathable, so that the user does not overheat and can remain comfortable while sitting for longer periods.
Tilt mechanism
It is important that the chair has a tilt mechanism so that the user can change positions and relieve the muscles and joints while working.
Stability
The chair must be stable and not wobble or move during use, to give the user a sense of safety and support.
How do you adjust your ergonomic office chair?
Below you will find a short step-by-step plan for adjusting your ergonomic office chair:
-
Adjust the height of the chair
Adjust the height so that you sit comfortably. Place your feet flat on the floor and make sure your knees are bent at a 90-degree angle.
-
Adjust the height of the backrest
The backrest of your chair should follow the natural curve of your back. Adjust the height of the backrest so that it supports the lower back and you sit comfortably.
-
Adjust the depth of the seat
Make sure there is about 5 to 10 cm between the front of the seat and the back of your knee. This provides optimal support for your thighs and reduces pressure on your lower back.
-
Adjust the armrests
Adjust the armrests of your chair so that your arms are bent at a 90-degree angle and your shoulders are relaxed. If the armrests are too high, this can cause tension in your shoulders and neck. If they are too low, this can cause tension in your arms and wrists.
-
Adjust the tilt function of the chair
Some ergonomic office chairs have a tilt function. Adjust this so that your chair tilts slightly forward, this ensures a better sitting posture and reduces pressure on your lower back.
-
Test the chair
Sit in your chair and test if it is adjusted correctly. If you still feel tension or pain, adjust the settings until you find a comfortable posture. It may take a while to find the ideal sitting position, so take the time to adjust the settings and experiment.
