Ergonomic chairs are ideal alternatives to those traditional chairs we see in office area or even home. The ergonomic office chairs are designed with the goal of offering good support and maximum comfort. The new styles of chairs cater to the need of maintaining proper posture for prolonged sitting. The earlier we switch to the ergonomic chairs, the more benefits we can get.

There are a lot of ergonomic chairs that come with different styles. Whatever type of ergonomic chairs, they are typically chairs for relief to our backache, neck pain, shoulder pain or other body problems caused by sitting in the chairs. But still, even though we choose to use ergonomic chairs, we still need to take short breaks throughout the day to improve circulation. Then follow me here to see the different styles of chairs in workplace.


Kneeling Ergonomic Chair

The ergonomic kneeling chair is an office chair with no back. The chair name implies that it can place the user in a modified kneeling position. The design of kneeling chair seem a bit unusual. It can actually help us maintain a right posture, allowing us to slide the hips forward so as to keep our shoulders, back and neck aligned. In this way, our weight will be better distributed among the knees and pelvis. We can get necessary support from the seat and shins of the ergonomic chair. Compared with traditional chairs, the kneeling chair conforms much to the concept of ergonomics, or making the surroundings better fit us people. We will feel less stress in the leg or lower back after a day sitting in the kneeling chair.

Exercise Ball Chair

Another chair with ergonomic as the design concept is exercise ball chair. Just as its name says, it is a chair with a ball. The large ball on the chair is actually used for offering us support and encouraging us to do some movement constantly if we want to sit safely on the chair. The ball chair, different from normal ergonomic chair, is much about active sitting, keeping our legs moving. Active sitting actually does good to our circulation and reducing pressure to our body parts after long time sitting. Seated in the ball chair, we can hardly have chance to slouch our back.

Saddle Ergonomic Chair

The saddle chair comes in shape of a horse’s saddle. What is the feeling of sitting on the horse saddle? Maybe the designers have once considered such question when they designed the ergonomic saddle chair. When we ride a horse, we are actually not completely sitting. Or we are in a position between standing and sitting. If you like such position, you will love this chair. Seated on the chair, our legs will naturally drop. The long term use of saddle chair will do good to lower back issues. That is why a lot of patients suffering from back problems are suggested to use the saddle chair.


Recliner Chair

Do you love to sit in a reclined position after you are seated on the chairs for a rather long time? Yes, sitting in such posture seems give us comfort to the back. We can rest our feet naturally on the footrest. The recliner chairs are very ideal chairs for those with degenerative disc disease. It is also chairs now used in the office, especially when the recliner chair has swivel, with which the office staff can move freely.

Tips on Choosing Proper Office Chair

Chairs are so common furniture at home, in the library, at coffee shop or in the office. They are usually underrated. Few people realize its important role in our fitness. Chairs can actually make a difference. The chairs offer us comfort, but they also bring us harm, especially if we choose to sit on the chairs all the day long.

Nowadays, to reduce the harm chairs caused to us, chair designers have come up with the design concept of ergonomics. A lot of office chairs cater to the need of ergonomics. They are not only the tools for us to sit on, but allow for more mobility. We can sit in the chair while moving it around. We can rotate the chair 360 degrees. Office chairs come in various types. When we want to update the old chairs used in our home, here are some tips we need to consider.
ergonomic chair

The chairs come in different shapes and sizes. This requires us to figure out our need. Shall we need to get a typist chair, a mid back chair or high back chair? They are different. The first model usually come with some basic features such as height adjustment. But it does not offer back support. For comfort, we need to prepare a cushion or pillow to support our back. The mid back chair have a larger backrest as well as a wider base. In addition to the height adjustment, it has other features such as controlling whether the chair is in a fixed position. The disadvantage is the lack of headrest. As for the high back chair, besides the features of the former two models, it has more. The backrest can be adjusted to support our head or neck. Usually, the latter two chairs are right choice. Still, we need to take consideration other factors below.
office chair

Chairs are made of different materials such as leather, fabric, etc. Leather chairs are often nice chairs and easy to clean. But if the leather chair does not have good breath-ability, it will suck if we use it in summer. Besides, when there is something wrong with the chair, the repair cost is a bit higher. Sometimes the leather chair will produces embarrassing noises if we shift around in them. Though leather chairs have so many deficits, I still recommend them, especially when you prioritize the ergonomics. Most of the ergonomic office chairs are made of leather.

When you try to get a home office chair, pay attention to its arm rest. I prefer the armrest since it will give the chair a sense of wholeness. I can rest my arms while working by the computer desk. If you don’t want the arm rest, you can choose the chairs with removable arm rest. Check out whether the chair has such a feature that allows you to lock it in a forward position, and unlock the chair so that it is free to recline. Is there a height adjustment lever? Lower the chair when you are seated so that the feet can just reach the ground.

If you are more concerned about the fitness, try to get a quality ergonomic office chairs, and that is worth the money in the long run. The quality ergonomic chair offers you proper back support and good health in years to come.

How to Choose Most Effective Office Chair

It is inevitable to sit for a rather long time as long as we have to work. Some people may think those sitting in the office all the time have very decent job. They will know things are not always so if they know the great loss caused to the office staff by prolonged sitting in an office chair. It is widely known that continuous sitting in the office chairs will lead to neck pain, backache, problematic legs or even headaches. Even worse, prolonged sitting in a fixed position may cause problems such as weight increase, blood pressure or heart problems.

Ergonomic experts have given us much advice to deal with the problems caused by long time sitting. For those who suffer from backache, it is advised to keep the spinal cord in S shape so as to avoid the spine injury in the long term. We have to keep our back firmly positioned to the rear of a chair. If the chair has a flexible back, proper arm-rests and high backs where we can place our head for a comfortable rest, that would be better.

Consequently, now there are many executive office chairs manufactured that can be adjusted to the shape of the spine. The ergonomic executive office chairs have good backs tilt-able to a certain degree to offer relaxation. We can find a lot of ergonomic chairs with arm rests at an appropriate height to keep arms at desk height that enables office staff to comfortably do the typing work on keyboard. If you are still using those chairs without the ergonomic design, you will miss a lot.

These chairs out of ergonomic design concept are made with swivel movement. People seated in such chairs will hardly strain the spine when they want to turn around. With the front tilt lock of the chair, there is no need to lean too far towards the keyboard. Usually, the ergonomic office chairs can be adjusted to fit the height and physique of different people who use the chair.

The ergonomic chairs usually come in artificial leather, bonded leather, real leather or even meshwork. They differ in price and sometimes in functions. The ergonomic chairs are not limited to black ones. There are a lot of colored office chairs available in the market for complimenting the office. However different the ergonomic chairs are, they are mainly chairs designed with the purpose of offering office staff a comfortable sitting while doing the routine duties, boosting the moral, solving pain dilemma and still improving the efficiency.

Before choosing a design of ergonomic office chair, it is better to try the chairs first.
