Buying Guide: Home and Office Chairs

Choosing Your Work Chair

Selecting the right work chair depends on your needs and how you'll use it. Consider:

• Activities: Computer work, drawing, bill writing?
• Time Spent Sitting: For shorter periods, a basic height-adjustable chair may suffice. For full-time work, look for more adjustable features to vary your posture.
• Ergonomic Needs: Do you require specific support for your back, arms, or shoulders?
• Style Preference: Personal aesthetic choices.

Chairs tested for office use meet high standards for ergonomics, stability, strength, and durability. They undergo rigorous testing, including heavy loads and endurance tests (up to 300,000 cycles), to ensure comfort, safety, and longevity for full-time desk work.

Good to Know: Ergonomics and Comfort

Your workspace should encourage movement. Ideally, it allows you to switch between sitting, standing, and leaning positions to maintain comfort and productivity.

Sitting Posture Guide

Achieve optimal comfort and support:

1. Leg Room: Ensure you can stretch your legs under the table and turn 90° left/right. Hips and knees should be at approximately 95-100° with feet flat. Height-adjustable seats accommodate multiple users.
2. Adjustability: Seat depth and backrest height adjustments help tailor support for your legs and back, accommodating different body types.
3. Tilt Function: Allows easy posture changes, whether the tilt is in the seat, backrest, or both.
4. Lumbar Support: Crucial for relieving pressure on the lower back, where tiredness often begins.
5. Armrests: Reduce strain on arms and shoulders. Adjustable armrests offer personalized comfort. Ensure they allow you to draw the chair close to the desk and don't restrict movement.
6. Headrest: Provides relaxation for the head and neck, especially when leaning back briefly.

Leaning and Standing

Leaning: A standing support, ideal with a height-adjustable desk, facilitates positions between sitting and standing, promoting freedom of movement, core muscle activation, and better circulation.

Standing: Alternating between sitting and standing boosts circulation and productivity. Height-adjustable desks are recommended for this.

Safety Castors
