In office furniture, office chairs are crucial. Most white-collar workers spend their working time on chairs. Don’t underestimate the role of office chairs. A comfortable office chair can completely improve work efficiency. Even if it is expensive, it is worth the money.
Sitting is the best way to choose an office chair. How to sit? Here are a few key points:
Lumbar support
This is the most important. The human body’s lumbar vertebrae curve inward. If the lumbar vertebrae are not supported for a long time, the curve will naturally become flat, resulting in the deformation of the lower spine structure. Therefore, a good office chair should have a support design for the waist. A better waist support design can adjust its height and depth, so as to support the inward bending of the lower back with different users.
Backrest height
A backrest that can provide better support, when you sit down, will reach the height of the middle of the shoulder blades, and it is better if it is higher than the shoulders.
Seat height
Although most office chairs can now adjust the seat height, it is important to ensure that the seat can be adjusted to the height that best suits you. Because this allows you to maintain a good sitting posture, thereby avoiding a lot of unnecessary back pain. The key to judging the height that suits you depends on whether the seat height can be adjusted so that your feet are placed horizontally on the ground.
Armrest height
When the feet can be placed horizontally on the ground, the height of the arms should also be consistent with the table. If the height of the armrests of the chair can be adjusted, it can be used by more people.
Seat length (front to rear)
The seat should be long enough for the user to rest comfortably on the backrest. Also, it should leave 2 to 3 fingers between the back of the knee and the seat.
Material
Because everyone needs to sit in office chairs for a long time, it is better to choose breathable materials than hard ones. In addition, the material of the seat cushion should be sufficient to ensure that people cannot feel the base when sitting on it.
Computer height
The last point is for a friend sitting at a desk. When we adjust the seat height as described above, the computer height should be in the center of our field of vision. If you need to look down at the computer because the desktop is too short, you may want to consider adding a shelf to elevate it, which can also reduce the burden on the cervical spine.
