Office Chairs, Although They May Look the Same, the Differences are Important
By Amy Pedersen
As a seller of office chairs, I am frequently asked by my customers about computer chair designs and what posture is the best for sitting and working at the computer. Some of these workers have been given a very high-end ergonomic custom-made chair at their office and are wondering if there is really any difference between it and your standard task chair.
Some people complain about the curvature of some guest side or reception lounge chairs at some office environments, finding themselves uncomfortable in minutes.
It is definitely true that some chairs can feel a lot more comfortable than others. Some chairs make it a snap to maintain a healthier upright posture, while others can stand between you and good ergonomics.
We need to remember however, that it is our body that sits in a chair, and in order to improve on our own comfort ability, our attention should be focused on improving our own functioning and what we do with our body when we sit down.
So what advice can I give regarding posture and the standard task office chair? First, I would recommend very simple, basic type designs with fairly flat and firm seatpans and with backs to not force your torso into any particular shape.
I would also recommend good back support and a good tilt mechanism for proper reclining and motion while moving throughout the tasks of your day. But, you need to remember that you cannot look to your chair as the primary solution to poor posture.
It's your posture that needs to learn how to change itself. When you have mastered the correct art of sitting ergonomically, it should lead to better body health and more productivity in the workplace. You can make almost any office chair work for you, if you only know how to sit correctly in it.
