Many people go to work each day and sit in the same chair they have sat in for years.  It may be too short or not at the right level for computer use, but it is broken and cannot be adjusted.  So you use it day after day, and what happens?  Your back is killing you, or your wrists and arms hurt from being at an awkward angle to your keyboard.

Will a better office chair make a difference?  With the right choice, definitely.  You don’t have to leave work each day stiff and tired from sitting in a chair that is totally inappropriate for the work you do.  So, what choices do you have?

Here are a few examples of the different types of office chairs:

1.  Ergonomic Office Chairs – An ergonomic chair is great for keeping the blood flowing in your legs, as well as supplying good arm and back support.  This type often has a waterfall front with contoured sides in the seat.  There are also active lumbar support features in many of these chairs, which is great for someone with back problems.

2.  Computer – If you spend hours in front of a computer every day, you need the right chair.  Depending on how your desk is designed you may need arms or you may need an armless chair if they will be in the way.  Tilt tension control, knee tilt and adjustable lumbar support are a few qualities you may find in a good computer chair.

3.  Mesh office chairs – These give a modern and sophisticated look to any office.  Great comfort, with features like adjustable seat height, lumbar support and soft touch armrests allow you to sit for hours without stress on your joints.

These are just a few varieties of the many types of office chairs you will find available these days.  Are they expensive?  Not necessarily.  You can find options that suit your needs, as well as your budget.

Think sitting at your desk has to uncomfortable and tiring?  You need to take a look around at what is offered up in stylish, comfortable and supportive office chairs.  Times have changed, and so has office furniture!

When shopping for or buying an ergonomic chair or ergonomic office chair online, finding the best ergonomic chair depends a lot on what kind of work you do whether at home or away from home. And incorrect ergonomics can cause back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, headaches, and many other medical issues. And if you spend most of your waking hours sitting at your desk, you know you need an ergonomic office chair that works with your body not against it, to spare you from needless backaches and fatigue.

The terms computer ergonomics and office ergonomics are often used interchangeably; they’re usually referring to body-adapted ergonomic chairs, office chairs, stools, desks, keyboards, mice and so on. In recent times, the word ‘ergonomics’ has become part of office terminology.

Medical chairs and dental chairs also benefit from using correct ergonomics. Clean room chairs and ESD chairs are also on the market; these chairs come with height adjustable options as well as seat pan and back option, plus they have necessary inflatable lumbar support and footrest options. Ergonomic comfort is also very important because it helps keep employees alert. Ergonomic intensive-use chairs or seating, also known as 24/7 seating, are usually used for dispatch room security monitoring areas, control rooms, and 911 emergency dispatch offices.

Ergonomic executive office chairs or seating, also called managers’ chairs, are usually found with a higher back and come with leather or stitched leather upholstery. The ergonomic intensive-use chairs are very durable and especially need to be ergonomic in design, because workers are typically sitting for many hours. And the executive chairs usually have upholstered back rests and upholstered arms.

The hydraulic seat height adjustment allows the user to adjust the chair properly so feet can rest on the floor or footrest and the upper body is properly aligned with the computer monitor, keyboard and mouse. The seat should always extend at least one inch from either side of the hips for optimum comfort because insufficient hip room can make you sit too far forward and not get enough support for the thighs. Adjustable height and width are absolutely necessary when buying a chair that has armrests. The armrests should be made of a soft material and should be at least 2″ wide to provide an adequate surface area.

Some of the ergonomic chair seat pans easily adjust for either a forward or backward tilt. You can use an ergonomic chair with casters and a 5-point base to ease movement and minimize possible tipping. A good ergonomic chair or office chair will recline and lock into several different positions.

The backrest of the chair should also have angle, in-out and height adjustments to achieve the proper spinal alignment; the angle adjustment allows the user to adjust the angle of the backrest in relation to the seat pan, as opposed to the tilt mechanism, which moves the seat pan with the backrest. The front part of the seat should slope down ever so slightly and allow a fist size gap between the back of the knees and the front edge of the seat pan to reduce pressure on the back of the thighs. The seat pan is the one component of the chair that supports the majority of the user’s weight.

Hopefully these ergonomic facts and tips about features and types of ergonomic chairs will help you when shopping for or buying an ergonomic chair online or locally from your office supply store or office furniture store. Many good deals can be found online and at local office furniture consignment and resale shops. And if you can’t afford the Cadillac of chairs, the Aeron chair, which starts at about $400, find an ergonomic chair or ergonomic office chair that is a true ergonomic chair, not the ‘ergonomically designed’ chair that is generally not totally ergonomic.

Why is it important that the chairs be ergonomic?
Think about it this way. Can you imagine having to sit in a chair all day and then getting up only to experience back pains, and neck strain? This type of condition can be avoided entirely if one uses an ergonomic executive office chair. Ergonomic chairs will help reduce back problems, pain in the shoulders and neck and give better support to someone who uses it throughout the whole day. Of course, all these benefits will come at a price. Ergonomic chairs are a little more expensive than the usual chairs after all. But as an employer who cares for the health of his or her employees, investing in these chairs couldn’t be better. Why? With healthier employees who will develop less physical problems in the long term, you can only expect the best performance and the best output as well. Ergonomic chairs will increase productivity, reduce physical injury, and at the end of the day, everyone is happy.
How do I know if a chair is ergonomic or not?
Now, there are many manufacturers and retail sellers out there who will tell you that their executive office chairs are the best and that they are ergonomic. If you don’t know what you are looking for, you might even easily believe them. First you need to know that ergonomic chairs are a lot more different in physicality than they are in price. Some of the features that you need to look at in an ergonomic chair are:
• A seat that is properly adjustable.
• Lumbar support.
• A good backrest that is high enough to support the back and the neck.
• Adequate seat width and also an adequate depth.
• Arm rests that are appropriate and long enough to support the average arm of an office worker.
• Swivel feature that will allow one to turn around in one spot.
• A manual that will show exactly how the chair can be used and adjusted and for what purpose each function serves.
If you find any of these features missing or just plain not working, then you should either return the chair in exchange for another kind of chair, or you can exchange the defective one for one that does serve its function well as an ergonomic piece of office furniture. Of course, it is difficult to have to look for different types of chairs of different sizes just to suit the many people in your office. Also, there is no such thing as the best fit for everyone. After all, people each have their own preferences for comfort. This is the reason why you should try your chairs first before actually purchasing them. If you can have some of your employees shop with you, all the better because this is one way that you can make the right purchase on executive office chairs; and your own executive office chair is important to consider in the batch as well.
So keep in mind that as long as the chair has good back and neck support for the average height of a person and as long as it is sturdy but can be swivelled around while allowing for a good length from a person’s knees to the ground, it could be a good ergonomic chair. And it could be the best chair for you to invest in for you and your workers.
