What to look for in an office chair

When it comes to your workstation setup, you must be equipped with the right pieces of furniture – and that includes a high-quality ergometric office chair.

There is a wide range of places you can find suitable seating for your workspace, including online retailers such as Furniture At Work. However, with so many different models on offer, it can be tricky to know which one to go for. To help you pick out the right design, here’s what you should look for in an office chair.

Comfort

Especially if your job requires you to sit down for the majority of the working day, you must go for a comfortable model. If not, you could find that you feel achy and sore, which is bad news for your overall health.

Ideally, the design you choose should have a padded seat, as well as a plush back section. You might find that a chair which has been upholstered in thick, soft material is your best bet to provide you with a comfortable place to sit.

Support

Your body must be fully supported too, so make sure your seat is capable of providing you with the assistance you need to sit in a comfortable, upright position. When you’re shopping for a new chair, keep an eye out for designs with lumbar support. This feature refers to the shape of the back of the chair and encourages a natural, healthy sitting position.

You should also go for a model that can be adjusted in terms of back tilt. This will allow you to move easily within your seat and reposition yourself periodically.

Style

While your ergometric office chair must provide you with the comfort and support you need, there’s no reason why it can’t be stylish too.

The good news is, that there are a whole host of different designs you can choose from, from large, luxurious models that have been upholstered in premium leather to cool and contemporary mesh styles. Whether you’re keen to keep your office vibe traditional, modern or somewhere in between, you shouldn’t struggle to find a chair that suits your overall décor.
