11 Sep 2018
Some people associate a soft seat with an ergonomic desk chair and for others the opposite is the case - so chosing an office chair that suits everybody can be a potential 'minefield'.
Here are some handy hints that will assist you in chosing an office chair that can be adapted to everyones needs;
- 2 lever chairs with seat height and back angle adjustability suit many situations
- 2 lever chairs that have a 3rd lever chair in the same range (means that the chairs will look the same) but adds seat angle adjustability for those with lower back pain or arthritic hips and knees
- Adjustable lumbar support will assist those with middle back or neck pain
- A sliding seat on the chair will cater for taller staff
- A larger (mega) seat is ideal for larger staff
- As is an aluminium base which add to the weight capacity of the chair
- Removable height and width adjustable arms are sometimes required by staff with shoulder pain
- Specialty saddle chairs, technician chairs and stools are also available for those working in areas that require these types of chairs
- Architectural chairs with footrings are available for sit/stand work environments
- And for those with shorter legs Footrests can add more comfort and safety to a 'day spent in your office chair'
