How much do employers and employees truly value their office chair? From the set purchasing budget, office desks generally take priority, with office chair selection dictated by funds remaining after the desks have been chosen.
An average office worker works 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, 48 weeks a year. If the worker sat at the desk approximately 5 hours per day in the course of a year, the worker actually spend 1200 hours sat in the office chair. 1200 hours is the same as 50 days and nights solid sitting down.
Budget task chairs are available from as little as $29.99. Whilst these are of solid construction and in a lot of cases guaranteed for up to 5 years, they are simply not ergonomically suitable for prolonged use as heavy duty office chairs.
It is worth knowing that the official prevalence of back pain in the US is 31million sufferers.
It is wrong to suggest that more quality ergonomic office chairs will completely alleviate these back pain problems. It must however surely help whilst improving overall motivation from staff whilst they are at work. Orthopaedic seating is readily available through most good office furniture suppliers, however when office furniture quotes and tenders are created in a price driven market, no one seems to have analysed the true cost implications of inappropriate seating.
We feel fatigued. Our backs are sore. The good news is there is a solution to this problem – and ergonomic office chair. This type of chair is intended to support the spine and provide comfort for those who are attached to their desk at the hip. You can find several different types of ergonomic chairs in the market. However, it’s tough to say if there is one ergonomic office chair that stands above the rest because each of us enjoys a different kind of comfort.
There is no one chair that suits everybody because people simply have different individual proportions. There are a few things that you should look for in any ergonomic chair that are going to ultimately aid in your comfort, and reduce the amount of pain your spine and lower back are in when you have to sit all day long.
• Lumbar support –
The lumbar region of your back is the lower back area. Your lower back has a natural inward curve to it. Good office chairs will support that curve in the spine.
• Seat depth –
Your lower back and hips have to support the weight of your legs. You don't want your back support too much of the weight of your leg. Check if the front of the seat come within 2 to 4 inches of the back of your knee when you sit in the seat.
• Height of the chair –
Most chairs have a pneumatic adjustment on them. Not everyone has the same size legs. Your legs should be able to sit comfortably at a near right or larger angle with your feet flat on the floor.
• Adjustable armrest –
If your arms and shoulders can be relaxed on the armrest, then you are going to prevent strain in your neck and between your shoulder blades. For most people it relates to how they position their hands on a computer keyboard.
• Swivel and casters –
The casters are optional. It is recommanded at least to have a swivel so you can maneuver around your desk with ease. Without a swivel, you may have to strain one way or another to reach things on your desk. This might create some discomfort if you have to do it all day long. Casters will also give you added mobility.
Finding the ergonomic office chair that is right for you might take a some experimentation and testing at your local office supply store. It is well worthy the efforts. Any potential for back pain caused by sitting at your desk all day long will proven to be more costly in both of your check book and your health.
