Why Good Office Chairs are Important?

With so many of us now spending the majority of the day sat at our desks, the market for ergonomic chairs has exploded. Ergonomic chairs are designed to provide maximum support and allow you to sit in them for prolonged periods without suffering from back pain or poor posture.

Many people wrongly assume that as long as their chair is set at the right height and they maintain good posture, they ’ ll be OK. Unfortunately this is not the case. What makes the difference with ergonomic chairs compared to standard office chairs is the back support. A good ergonomic chair will provide plenty of lumbar and pelvic support. This means that your back muscles will not be unduly stressed, even when you stay seated for long periods of time.

The Continuing Education Unit at Herman Miller put together a report that sheds a lot of light on the importance of having a good chair. The report shows that as well as increasing the risk of herniated discs and other back problems, staying seated for too long can also cause problems such as fatigue, headaches and poor concentration.

This being the case, it’s clear that an ergonomic chair could make a huge amount of difference to your health and overall mood. If you feel tired and have a headache, it ’ s unlikely that your work is going to be your best.

Therefore, investing in an ergonomic chair should not be seen as an expense or a luxury, but rather something that’s beneficial to your overall health.

Even with a good ergonomic chair, you should still get up and move around at least once an hour. This isn ’ t just for the good of your back but also to increase circulation. When working from home, this isn’t a problem, but if you run an office then you should certainly allow your employees a decent amount of time away from their desk each day.

Where to buy ergonomic chairs Since ergonomic chairs have become so popular over the last few years, you shouldn’t have any problem finding one. The big question is whether you should buy online or from a local store. There ’ s certainly advantages to buying online – it ’ s much more convenient and you ’ re able to shop for bargains much more efficiently.

The big downside to buying online though, is that you cannot test the chair out prior to purchasing it. This usually isn ’ t too big of an issue and can be overcome by doing your research. Look online for articles that cover the best ergonomic chairs on the market and you should be able to pinpoint one that ’ s right for your needs as well as being within your budget. Always make sure you read the return policy of any place you’re intending to buy from in case there are any problems.
