Questions You Should Know about Custom Office Chair

There have been many studies out there that show that the human body did not evolve to support sitting for 8 or more hours every day. It is true that sitting at work all day isn’t doing any favors to our overall health and well-being. However, office furniture manufacturers have been more sensitive to the effects of office chairs on our bodies and are starting to design them with better support systems. Is your current office chair doing more harm than good for your body? Here are some key questions you should consider.

Does Your Office Chair have Lumbar Support?

An office chair with lumbar support has features which aid the positioning of your lower back. The discs in your lower back, known as lumbosacral discs, bear three times more weight when you’re sitting than when you stand. And if you experience back pain on a regular basis, it might be your office chair which is to blame. Chairs with lumbar support have a small bump near the bottom of the back which aligns with a spine’s natural curve. This ensures that you maintain good posture by taking pressure off your spine.

Does It Have Adjustable Arms?

Great office chairs are able to adjust according to the needs of every unique user. To ensure proper posture with the rest of your body, the arms of your office chair should allow your own arms to rest comfortably at a 90-degree angle. If your office chair does not have adjustable arms which can accommodate this, it may be detrimental to your well-being.

Does It Adjust to Support Your Body?

As you might have been able to deduce, one-size-fits-all chairs simply cannot exist if we are concerned with well-being. Office chairs need to be adjustable in order to support many unique body types. Not only are body types different, but even the positions we take throughout the day shift and change. Office chairs need to be able to support any body at any position in order to maintain the overall health and well-being of the user.

We create modular chairs that can be specifically designed for you – and your needs – to provide the right ergonomic support and fit where you need it.  Being ergonomic helps you find comfort whether it’s chronic back, joint or muscle pain caused by repetitive issues or traumatic injury from accidents.  Here are some questions you need to ask.

HOW LONG DO YOU SIT?

If you sit for more than 3 hours a day, you need a chair that supports you from head to toe.  Sitting without support over time can lead to serious back injury.

DOES SIZE MATTER?

Every person is unique so a “one size fits all” option shouldn’t really be an option at all. Choose the seat that is right for you.

SCHUKRA™ LUMBAR

An internal device operated by a handle on the backrest, it’s easy to use and stays where you put it. Fits to the curvature of your spine, encouraging the healthy “S” shape which reduces pressure on disks and vertebrae.

SEAT SLIDER DEPTH ADJUSTMENT

Pulls the seat away from the back rest in “increments up to 3”. A 2-3 finger width gap between the seat and the legs is optimal.

MEMORY FOAM SEAT

Conforms to your body’s unique contours to further reduce pressure on your bones and joints, providing optimum comfort. Always combined with a high density foam core which prevents the foam from collapsing and “bottoming” out.

Dial-in the comfort based on your body type and physical demands. An essential element to providing all-day comfort. Following the anatomical shape of humans, our signature molded contoured seat designs reduce seated pressure on the sit bones and soft tissue around the thigh and buttock area which helps to distribute weight more uniformly. Pick the size that best fits your needs.

CORE-FLEX® DUAL FLEX SEAT

Encourage natural movement with technology that allows your body to move. Core-flex® stops the unnecessary load from being placed on one side of the body versus the other by activating the leg muscles and core. Sitting in motion helps promote healthy circulation.

Providing support for your head can reduce the weight your neck must support. If you have neck issues you should strongly consider using a
chair with a headrest. Headrest prevents you from hunching forward, scrunching your shoulders, and putting pressure on your back.

One of the most overlooked parts of the chair is the armrests. Armrests might not seem like much, but they actually go a long way to protect you from bad body posture. Adjustable armrests are very helpful in taking the stress away from your shoulders and neck, helping to alleviate neck pain and shoulder pain.

Adding an adjustable swivel function will allow you to maneuver the arm pad into the perfect position thus taking pressure off your wrists and forearms. For Elbow Tendonitis or Carpal Tunnel Syndrome sufferers look at adding a memory foam pad like our Ergo Arm Pad.
