How do I choose the right office chair?

Many people don't realise how important it is to choose the right office chair. As a result, employees often spend their working hours on a chair that isn't suitable for them, which has a negative effect on their health. So invest in a new, ergonomic model and choose the right office chair with our help. We're happy to help you find the right model that offers comfort and support where it's needed.

 

Why choose an ergonomic office chair?

An ergonomic office chair encourages a correct sitting posture and so helps prevent physical complaints. Ergonomic chairs can be adjusted in height and seat, and have adjustable armrests and backrests. This way, the chair can be personally set up for everyone and adapted to their body and preferences. Ergonomic office chairs are healthier for your body and also reduce stress. When choosing an ergonomic office chair, it's important to take several aspects into account:

- Sitting time: the longer you have to sit, the more important the comfort of the chair. Thanks to their settings, ergonomic office chairs should keep providing support throughout the day.

- The type of job: when choosing an office chair, also check whether it can be adjusted when you switch tasks. Do you work at a sit-stand desk, for example? Then the height setting matters too.

- Your build: make sure the office chair can be adjusted to your height and weight. That way, your body will feel completely at home.

What to look for when choosing an ergonomic office chair

Besides sitting time, the type of job and your build, a few other factors also matter, such as the material. Strike the right balance between comfort, ease of maintenance and protection. Choose an office chair made from quality materials that is sturdy enough to withstand prolonged use. The ideal office chair also has a breathable fabric and is easy to maintain.

A reclining backrest is also essential. It lets you adjust the lumbar support (the support for your lower back). Sit up straight, as far back in your office chair as possible. Then make sure your lower back is well supported by the backrest. This puts your lower back in a comfortable, neutral position without you slumping.
