Have you ever wondered why purchase an ergonomic office swivel chair? Or why there are more and more people opting for this type of choice? Or again, is it really necessary?
We at Grendene are here to explain why to purchase an office swivel chair and what benefits can be gained from this type of choice.
Office chairs are work tools
Let’s start by making clear a very important thing that, unfortunately, most people still ignore: office swivel chairs are real work tools, just like computers, management softwares or production machinery are.
In fact, they have the fundamental function of supporting the operator during the entire time of use, in order to prevent annoying back pains from arising and to prevent drops in concentration and productivity.
The characteristiscs of a good office chair
There are many types of office chairs. They differ in the materials used, in the degree of adaptability to the user’s needs and also in the price range.
In general, a good office chair, to be defined as such, must be sturdy, adjustable and ergonomic.
The sturdiness is mainly given by the materials used for the various components. A good chair can support its user throughout the working day for several years of constant use. This applies to all its components, from the mechanisms to the padding, up to the fabrics used for the upholstery.
Another important factor is the degree of adaptability to user needs. Each person is different from another; there are those who are a little shorter and those taller, those who weigh little and those who weigh a little more. The possibility of adjustment allows the ergonomic chairs to adapt to everyone’s measurements so that they are like a tailored suit.
Chairs can in fact be adjusted in height, but also in the inclination of the backrest. Armrests, lumbar support and headrest can also be adjustable. An example is our ergonomic armchair with mesh back mod. Like 700.
This model, then, can be even more adjustable if you go to mount the seat slider. This particular mechanism allows the advancement of the seat, creating more space for the seat, very useful for tall people.
The last, but not least, feature is that of ergonomics. An ergonomic chair helps the user to remain in the correct position so that pain does not arise, ensuring the maintenance of the natural “S” shape of the spine even when seated.
Useful advice
We remind you that the chair is a work tool and that, as such, it should also be known how to use. The right height for the chair to be adjusted to is the one that allows you to see the computer without tilting your head too much.
The feet must rest well on the floor and the position of the legs must allow for proper blood circulation, usually at an angle of about 90 degrees.
Don’t wait for back pain before buying your office chair, your physical well-being must come first. You will find that by working comfortably, you will also be better mentally.
