What to Look for When Buying an Office Chair

One thing that every office needs will be chairs for people to sit on. In most situations these items of office furniture will need to be especially designed for the office environment. This is because office chairs get used in a much different way than the typical home chair gets used. This may be a chair that people will be sitting in all day as they work. If this is the case then the chair needs to be designed in such a way as it is not going to cause any health problems. It is now accepted that sitting too long in the wrong chair can be very damaging. Not only does it lead to poor health but also to reduced productivity. Here are a few ideas about what to look for when buying an office chair.
You want an ergonomic chair as this offers the best protection to people who sit around all day. These chairs are especially designed to deal with the human body. A good ergonomic chair can be expensive but it will be worth the money if it protects the health of employees and increases productivity.
You want a chair that is easy to adjust. People come in all shapes and sizes and we all have our preferences for how a chair should be set up. Ideally you want an office chair that comes with pneumatic seat height adjustment.
As well as being able to adjust the height of the chair it is also important that people can adjust the back. This is to ensure that they get adequate support for their lumbar spine area.
It is also beneficial if there is the ability to adjust the arm rests and change tilt tension.
Try to avoid chairs that come with plastic bases. These don't tend to be very strong and it could mean that castors come off. If this happens somebody could easily fall out of the chair and become injured. Chairs with plastic bases don't tend to last very long so even though they may be cheap to buy they don't provide good value for money.
When it comes to choosing the fabric for your office chair you will want something that is non-slip. To increase comfort it is also a good idea to choose a material that is breathable.
