If you spend a lot of time sitting at a desk, you know how important it is to have a comfortable and supportive office chair. But do you know why? What makes a good office chair and how does it affect your health and productivity? In this blog post, we will explore the science behind our office chairs and how they are designed to fit your body and your needs.
Ergonomic Office Furniture
Ergonomics is the study of how people interact with their work environment and how to optimise it for their well-being and performance. Ergonomics applies to many aspects of our work, such as the layout of our desks, the lighting, the temperature, and the noise level. One of the most crucial elements of ergonomics, however, is the office chair.
A good office chair should provide adequate support for your spine, your neck, your arms, and your legs. It should also allow you to adjust its height, tilt, and lumbar support to suit your posture and preferences. A good office chair should also be comfortable, breathable, and durable.
Why is it important to select your office furniture carefully?
A bad office chair can cause a lot of problems for your health and your work. A bad office chair can lead to:
– Back pain: Sitting for long periods can put pressure on your spine and cause muscle tension, stiffness, and inflammation. A bad office chair can worsen this by forcing you into an unnatural or slouched position that strains your back muscles and discs.
– Neck pain: A bad office chair can also affect your neck by making you crane or tilt your head to look at your screen or documents. This can cause neck strain, headaches, and even nerve damage.
– Shoulder pain: A bad office chair can also make you hunch your shoulders or raise your arms too high or too low to reach your keyboard or mouse. This can cause shoulder pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion.
– Leg pain: A bad office chair can also impair your blood circulation in your legs by cutting off the blood flow or causing pressure points. This can cause leg pain, numbness, tingling, swelling, and varicose veins.
These problems can not only affect your physical health but also your mental health and your work performance. They can cause stress, fatigue, mood swings, reduced concentration, lower productivity, and lower quality of work.
