Office Chairs

If you’re in the market for an office chair, making the right selection is important. It may be appealing to purchase a cheaper chair but you might be disappointed with the comfort and quality.

A good office chair should have these features:

Lumbar Support

The biggest drawback about sitting at a desk all day is the awkard position that it puts you. A chair with lumbar support can help put your back and your shoulders in a position that is better for your posture, spine and overall health.

Adjustable Backrest

An adjustable backrest is important so that you can tailor the chair specifically to your spine and what is comfortable to you.

Adjustable Height

Being able to adjust the hieght of the chair is extremely important for your eyes and neck. You want your head in a neutral position with your eyes looking straight forward (maybe slightly down) to your monitiors. Looking up or too far down is bad for your neck and for your eyes

Breathable Material

A material that is breathable is more comfortable and good for the disappation of heat which will help prevent in getting “swampy” at your office chair.

Arm Rest

You’ll definitely want a chair with arm rest to support your arms when you type on your keyboard. Without arm rest, the desk would be supporting your wrist which is extremely uncomfortable. Arm rest will help to put your arms at a 90 degree angle

Casters & Swivel

Being able to more around your office or to turn to open a file cabinet with ease is a critical feature in a good office chair. You should be able to move with ease.
