How to Choose an Office Chair

Welcome to our blog column, and today we're going to find out how to choose the best office chair for your home.

As the epidemic grows and many of us need to work from home occasionally or full time these days, the importance of creating a productive and comfortable workspace where we live is becoming more and more important.Many people are not realizing how important it is to choose an office chair that fits their needs. Instead of getting a great, ergonomic chair, they just go for the cheapest option. The problem with this approach is not just that lower quality products will need to be replaced sooner, but that bad chairs can lead to all sorts of health complaints and lost productivity.

We all spend quite a bit of time at work, so it's important to buy the best office chair for your home; this will make your work experience infinitely better. Now let's take a look at how to pick a proper office chair:

Adjustable height

This is quite understandable, the more adjustable points an office chair has, the more you can personalize it. And you get the benefits of ergonomics. It is best to find a chair that can adjust your backrest, and armrests. The seat height of the office chair should be easy to adjust. A pneumatic adjustment lever is the easiest and most convenient way. The general recommended seat height from the floor is 16 to 21 inches, which is the right distance for most people. This allows the user's feet to rest flat on the floor and the arms to be level with the height of the table.

Lumbar support

An ideal office chair is to have good lumbar support. The lumbar spine supports and stabilizes the upper part of your body, including the neck and head. Plus the concave curve of the chair helps to evenly distribute weight, thus reducing the pressure concentration will cause discomfort. If the use of no lumbar support means on, the lines of this chair are generally flat and straight, and prolonged sitting can lead to lower back pain. So an ergonomic chair needs to have lumbar adjustment so that it can match each user to support the inward curve of the lumbar region.

Sufficient seat depth and width

It goes without saying that the seat should have sufficient width and depth, as this will comfortably support users of different body types. Generally speaking, the standard width should be in the range of 17-20 inches. This will provide a large enough space to support the thighs. And the user's hips need at least 1 inch on both sides, but not too wide, or the user's arms need to stretch to reach the armrests.

The depth of the seat, from the front of the seat to the back of the size also needs to be large enough to allow the user's back to rest on the backrest, leaving a fist of space between the end of the chair and the user's knees. 

Backrest

The backrest width of an ergonomic office chair should be 12-19 inches. If the backrest and seat are separate, it should be able to adjust the height and angle. It can also support the natural curve of the spine. If you like the type of seat and backrest is one, then the backrest can be adjusted forward or backward angle is your first choice.

Material

Office chair seat and seat back material is also a place to pay attention to in order to feel comfortable when sitting on it again for a long time. In general, the more common materials on the market are breathable cloth fabric and leather.

Not only should you pay attention to the surface material of the office chair, you also need to ensure that the seat pan padding is made of high-quality foam. In most ergonomic chairs, insufficient padding and low-quality foam can lead to back pain, fatigue and discomfort.

Finding the right office chair is very important for a you who needs to be healthy and productive. This ensures that the chair in the office or at home (while working from home) is comfortable and makes the most of its role in increasing productivity.
