Office seating
These days people spend more and more time on a chair. If you sit at a desk to work or use a computer, having a comfortable and supportive office chair is crucial.
The main requirements for good seating are that, circulation in the thighs is not restricted, the posture requires little muscular effort to maintain, the stress on your back is minimised and maintains the natural S-shape of the spine without the need for muscular tension.
The longer you’re using the chair, the more adjustable features you’ll need. All the adjustments should be within easy reach and you should be able to operate them, while seated, with minimal effort, and lumbar support is essential if you’re going to use the chair for long periods.
Features to look out for:
- Seat Height: This is the most important feature and must be adjustable. Your feet should rest flat on the floor without compressing the back of your thighs; otherwise you’ll restrict blood supply to your lower legs and feet – resulting in tired and possibly numb legs.
- Seat Depth: If the seat depth isn’t adjustable, it should at least allow you to sit right at the back of the chair without pressing the backs of your knees. You need to sit right at the back of the chair to use the backrest correctly and support your lumbar.
- Backrest/Lumbar Support: It’s essential that the chair has a backrest with an appropriate size and shape, to support the lower and middle back properly without restricting arm or shoulder movements. The backrest should help you to maintain the natural S-shape of your spine when you’re sitting.
- Backrest Tilt: Tilting the backrest allows you to adopt different postures. Opening up more of the angle between your body and thighs lets you breathe better.
- Armrests: If you’re going to spend some time in the chair, you need to support the weight of your arms, for extended use, they should adjust.
- Swivel: This is also a very important feature. When you’re working, you may need to reach other parts of the table or desk. If the chair doesn’t swivel, you may have to frequently twist to reach, not good for your back.
- Seat Surfaces: The seat, armrest and backrest should be padded firmly enough to support you, but be comfortable enough for you not to feel pressure points, or the hardness of the chair frame on the base of the two prongs of your pelvis. The upholstery should be permeable so that the seat can breathe and minimise the build up of heat on the seat.
