Office work for most office employees means
sedentary work, which also means than the office chairs in which these
employees spend most of their days need to be more than just an object that can
be sat on. The size, the construction, the cushioning are all essential factors
to consider for choosing ergonomic office chairs that are perfect not only in harmony with the
office design, but that also encourage the correct posture of the user. Here
are some of the most important features to look for:
- Lumbar support – the best office chairs feature backs the shape of which resembles the shape of the human spine and that provide extra cushioning and support for the lower back area. The lower back is the spine area that is the most affected by the compression related to sitting, therefore it needs all the support it can get to be able to stay healthy;
- Adjustability – the user of the chair needs to be able to set the height of seat, the angle of the back as well as the angle of the arm rests;
- The material of the seating surface and the back – the best chairs feature breathable materials that ensure the highest level of comfort for the chair’s user.
