Selecting the Perfect Office Chair

Being an inevitable part of a good workstation, chair offers essential support to the back, legs, buttocks, and arms, along with reducing exposures to awkward postures, contact stress, and forceful exertions. Look for a chair with increased adjustability to ensure a better fit for the user, providing sufficient support in a variety of sitting postures, and allowing variety of convenient sitting positions throughout the workday. If more than one person is using the chair per day, these points have more relevance. Before selecting a particular chair, try out different ones and finalize on the one that gives the best support. To ensure that the chair will provide adequate support, it is important that you try out different chairs before purchasing one. Check out the backrest, seat, armrest, and base for build quality, durability, and as well comfort. All of these aspects should come in to play during your selection. The chair should be adjusted while placing the monitor, keyboard and desk in your workstation to see how it fits in the context of your office layout. As a basis for selection, here are some chair guidelines to refer back to before your purchase ** Ensure that the backrest of your chair corresponds to the natural curvature of your spine providing enough support to the lumbar region. ** Ensure that the seats of your chair are comfortable enough to allow your feet to rest flat on the floor or footrest. ** Ensure that the armrests of your chair are soft allowing your shoulders to relax and elbows to stay close to your body. ** Ensure that your chair has a five-leg base with rollers that allow it to move easily on the floor.
