Finding the right ergonomic chair is a challenge. There are many "ergonomic" chairs available in the market. However, it is a commom mistake people make to purchase office chairs simply because they are labelled "ergonomic". Ergonomic chairs might be designed to suit the most range of people; however, there is no guarantee that they will suit any one person in particular.
Why is finding the right chair so important?
People sit for most of the time during the awaking hours. We sit while having breakfast. We drive or ride while going to work in cars or buses. Students sit in school classrooms most of their compus life. Adults sit in the conference room in meetings or they sit in front of their computers in offices. Families sit during dinner and at home while watching television. Many of us also sit at work operating machines which we give years of thanks to new technology that allows to replace manual work. Although it is true that sitting requires less physical effort than standing or walking, it does put a lot of stress on our lumbar area.
Combined effects of a sedentary lifestyle and a job that requires prolonged sitting can lead to many health issues.
What do you need to know about "ergonomic" chair?
In preventing health problems involved with prolonged sitting, the selection of a suitable chair is critical. Several basic concepts should be considered:
One chair does not fit everyone.
It is possible that the office chairs fit one part of the body but strain another. The users' body proportions must be considered when selecting a chair.
No one chair is suitable for every activity.
Generally speaking, dentists require a different chair than do industrial workers or computer operators.
What are the features you are to look for?
Some features are mandatory for a good chair regardless of how you intend to use it:
Seat height needs to be adjustable
Backrest - Check to see that the backrest is adjustable both vertically and in the frontward and backward direction.
Seat depth - Select the seats that suit the tallest and the shortest users
Other features to consider
Check if the selected office chairs have features that will enhance someone's job performance. For example, arm rests with adjustable heights are good for computer operators. Check if the selected office chairs have features that will make doing a job more difficult. For example, someone may be using a chair with casters or wheels when a stable and stationary work position would be better for his or her particular task. If chairs with casters are needed, the type of flooring will need to be put into evalutaion for the purchase process.
Who should pick out the chair?
Allow the person who will use the chair most to try out the chair in a real work situation. Make sure that the chair meets the needs of the workers and their jobs before any final purchase is made. Buying quality ergonomic chairs is just a good beginning. It does not necessary bring the benefits expected. The user has to learn and practice how to sit properly. Remember that the office chairs are only one of the components to be considered in work place settings. All the elements such as the chair, footrest (if needed), work surface, document holders, task lighting etc. need to have flexibility and adjustability to be "designed in." And one needs to take frequent breaks for allowing the body to stretch.
