Working long hours at the computer or in your workstation can overload your back and cause pain. This pain is preventable and that is why the importance of lumbar support in choosing an office swivel chair cannot be underestimated.
Lumbar support is an essential accessory for a good ergonomic chair. In fact, it provides the necessary support for the lower back, that is, the one that includes the 5 vertebrae between the sacrum and the diaphragm.
In the absence of lumbar support, there is usually a tendency to curve the back abnormally, altering the natural “S” curve and transforming it into a “C” curve. This device, on the other hand, helps to maintain the curve of the spine inwards, allowing you to adopt a healthy posture.
Lumbar support: the different types
There are various types of lumbar support, which vary a lot according to price and type.
The basic and most economical solution is a movable cushion, manually adjustable by means of a strap. This is usually the less ideal choice, as such products struggle to stay in place, losing the function for which they were purchased.
There are also fixed supports, which are integrated into the back of the chair. These devices are stable, but have the drawback of not being adaptable to different body types.
And then there are the adjustable lumbar supports, in height and depth, which will adapt perfectly to anyone, supporting the back throughout the day. Many of the task chairs of our production allow this type of adjustment.
Ergonomics, now also at home
In recent times, the swivel chairs equipped with this type of adjustment are also highly sought after for home furnishings. This, of course, is a direct consequence of COVID-19 and the related growth of working from home, or remote-working.
Many people found themselves having to work on the kitchen table or sofa. This is convenient, you may say, but in reality, over time, the negative results have been felt on the health of the back, causing continuous pain.
It is clear to everyone that these chairs cost more than normal home chairs, but the health benefits will be felt; and as we all know, our health is priceless.
To preserve the health of your back, Grendene recommends two types of ergonomic swivel chairs. One is the ergonomic chair mod. Like 700, with a breathable mesh backrest and integrated adjustable lumbar support.
If, on the other hand, you want a chair with a padded backrest, which is still equipped with this device, we recommend our ergonomic chair mod. Juke 50, which allows the adjustment of the support through the backrest elevation.
