Are you sitting comfortably?
Whether you work from home, the office, or you hot desk. Make sure the chair that your are sitting on is comfortable for you.
There’s a few ways to ensure this is the case.
- Order one specific to you. At Leicester office furnishers, we specialise in ergonomic chairs. A lot of people may panic that ergonomic means expensive…… it can be, but isn’t always. We purchase our chairs from various suppliers to bring you a large range to select from. With that in mind, our in house specialist can gauge whether a chair is right for you within a split second.
- If your short (like me) you may be best with a petite chair. If that isn’t an option try to lower your chair to a position that ensures your feet are flat on the floor and your knees are at a right angle. On the opposite end of the scale, if you are tall, ensure that your chair is elevated to the right position and request a high back chair to support your entire back, not just the lower half.
- If you can see a pump hanging from the side of your chair, its likely that your chair has lumbar support. A lumbar support will support the arch of your back, pumping it up on your office chair will essentially fill that arch. You also need to ensure that the lumbar support is in the correct place, on most chairs you can move the back up and down, thus changing the position which the lumbar support will be at.
- When purchasing your chair, check all of the additional options. You maybe able to add a coccyx cut out, adjustable arms, fold away arms, a headrest and seat slide. A seat slide is ideal depending on your upper leg measurement.
- Ensure that the chair you order is suitable for your weight. If you are concerned about this, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
