How to choose the best office chair?

Jan 02, 2019

Now, we have been sitting in the chair of the office for a long time. Once we use an unreasonably designed hungry office chair, it may directly affect our health and safety. Therefore, choosing an office chair is especially important. How should we choose the best office chair?


1. Can we adjust the sitting position?

The first criterion for an office chair is whether it can help the user adjust to the best sitting position, because only a good sitting posture can minimize the long-term sitting posture damage. It is recommended to choose a chair with a slightly backrest. It is best to choose a chair with adjustable height, backrest height and tilt. Suitable for height, the lower limbs are naturally drooping, the feet are flat on the ground, the knee joints are slightly higher than the hip joints, the hips are backwards, the body is slightly backwards, and gently leans against the back of the chair, so that the angle of the upper body and the legs is maintained at about 135 degrees. This sitting posture is similar to the "S" shape that naturally forms when standing.


2, choose the cushion

Choosing a seat cushion, the cost of a good office chair cushion is still very high. A good seat cushion not only needs to be elastic and not soft and hard, but also has a concave curve and a good sitting feeling. Moreover, some high-end office chair cushions have a "memory" function, which automatically adjusts according to the user's sitting posture and the structure of the body's skeletal muscles, and stores the adjusted condition. This office chair becomes your special purpose. The office chair is gone.


3, look at the back

Looking at the backrest, the backrest of the office chair emphasizes the comfort and safety of the backrest. The backrest is not as big as possible, and it is not a double backrest. The angle of inclination of the backrest should be able to protect the stress points and force surfaces of the neck, waist, shoulders, ankles, etc. Many office chairs in the market began to use mesh to make the backrest, because the mesh has good air permeability and flexibility. But the premise of all this is that the quality of the mesh is passing.


4, adjustability

The office chair should be adjustable. Each person's height, weight, leg length and waist length are different, and each person's skeletal muscles are unique. In order to make the office chair reach the most comfortable posture, you need to work. The chair has better adjustability. These adjustments are reflected in the adjustment of the headrest, backrest, armrests, cushions, etc., and not only the height of the adjustment, but also the inclination.


5, the stability of the chassis

The stability of the chassis or not, the choice of materials is extremely important, as we all know, the sinking the chassis, the more stable the office chair sits, even the semi-lying is no problem. The chassis of a good office chair is generally made of stainless steel or aluminum alloy, while the poorer ones are made of ordinary engineering plastics. Affected by the Chinese people's over-respected concept of aluminum alloy chassis, some inferior office chairs will be inferiorly filled with inferior aluminum alloy materials, which are safety hazards.


6, the chair feet

The chair legs and the four-claw chair legs have a poor stability due to their small footprint. The landing area of the five claws is much larger than the four claws, ensuring the stability of the office chair. Although the six-claw is the safest, its disadvantage is that the activity under the foot is inconvenient and it is easy to hit the foot. So almost all office chairs on the market are five-jawed. The legs can be either pulley or fixed. Regardless of the pulley type or the fixed type, the material is also very important, otherwise it is easy to lose weight and the safety is not guaranteed.
