HOW SHOULD WE SELECT OFFICE CHAIRS?

People should select suitable office chairs which can be used for the purposes in an office. Here are 9 tips to choose the right office chair

• You should check that the height of the chair can be adjusted or not. Chairs in which height can be adjusted are preferred more.
• Along with the height of the chair, the backrest should also be adjustable. Adjustable backrests are more comfortable. A person cannot sit in one position for the whole day.
• The chair should have lumbar support. Lumbar support is that support which is given to the lower back of the people.
• The material of the chair should be breathable. There are many chairs which come with unbreathable material. You would be thinking that how the material of a chair can trouble in breathing, but it does. There are some materials which do not let the moisture from the skin evaporate, which makes it difficult to breathe for the person.
• The chair should have sufficient padding. The padding makes the chair soft and comfortable to sit.
• The chair should have armrests. Office chairs with armrests reduce the shoulder strain.
• The controls in the chair which are used for adjusting the chair should be easy to use.
• The chair should move easily.
• The width of the chair should be enough for sitting properly on it.
