If your posture and comfort are suffering at the office, then it’s time to take a close look at ergonomic chairs. According to Forbes, a typical office worker sits for about 15 hours on any given day. This is why it’s so important to find a comfortable chair for your office. Continue reading for some tips on features to look for when choosing ergonomic chairs.

1. Height Adjustability

The types of chairs have different heights you can set your chair to. It’s important to know what height is best for you and your workday activities. When you set up your new ergonomic chair, be sure to set the height properly. Here are a few tips for doing so:

1. Make sure that your feet are resting flatly on the ground.
2. Ensure that your desk is also at the right height, so raise or lower it as needed.
3. Your knees and hips should be at an angle equal to 90 to 100 degrees.

When your chair is set at the right height, you will be able to work comfortably for hours. Of course, this doesn’t mean that you should be sedentary all day. Make sure you get up at least once an hour to stand and walk around a bit.

2. Arm Rests

There are two different schools of thought when it comes to the inclusion of armrests on ergonomic chairs. Many people find that they aren’t helpful and can make it difficult or impossible to get as close to your desk as you need to be. Other folks find that they help them to remain comfortable. It really does come down to personal preference. If you do opt for armrests with your new ergonomic chair, then be sure that they are adjustable as your forearm should be parallel with the floor.

3. Lumbar Support

Maintaining a proper posture while seated is a lot easier when you have the right lumbar support. By supporting the natural curve of your back, you’ll find it easier to maintain good posture throughout the day. Adjust the lumbar support to fit naturally in the curve. The amount of support that is right for you will likely differ from others, so go ahead and adjust the lumbar support to the spot where it feels most comfortable for you. The goal is to increase your comfort level while supporting your back.
