What makes a good, ergonomic office chair?

Before buying a Office chair Or you should also pay attention to some basic ergonomic functionalities. The right choice significantly influences your health and well -being in everyday office life. A good office chair not only supports correct posture, but also helps to prevent symptoms and tension that can arise from sitting for a long time. It is therefore of crucial importance to find out thoroughly before buying and pay attention to specific features and properties.

The most important thing in the overview

  • Pay attention to a chair with ergonomic design to ensure healthy posture.
  • Choose a chair with good synchronous or balancing mechanics. In addition, the backrest should be tiltable and changeable in the pressure structure.
  • The lumbar area of ​​the chair should be optimally supported by a lumbar ball to relieve the back.
  • Note that the padding of the chair is not too soft. Too soft seat cushion can strain the lumbar spine when sitting for longer.
  • The seating area should be inclined to the front like a wedge and rounded off on the front to take the pressure from the thighs.
  • Place breathable materials to prevent excessive sweating.
  • A good office chair should have armrests that are adjustable in height and thus offer individual comfort.
  • Pay attention to high -quality roles to protect your floor from scratches and wear.

For your personal well-being we offer various options, from classic rotating chairs to comfortable boss chairs to XXL office chairs in oversize. It is important that the basic ergonomic properties are available so that you can make your choice based on your subjective comfort. A high quality Office chair Should support all sitting positions that you prefer. The following quality features are crucial:

What does ergonomic design mean?
An ergonomically designed office chair ensures that the seat fits the body shape and size exactly. The correct backrest height and shape are crucial to optimally support the entire back area, including the shoulders. In addition, the chair should have a lordosis support that specifically supports the lumbar area of ​​the spine to prevent a hollow back and to ensure additional comfort while sitting.

What can you pay attention to when choosing?

Special mechanical-technological features play a crucial role in both the price and the quality of an office chair. It is important to know the specific seat mechanics of your office chair, as this significantly influences your seating comfort. Various mechanics are available on the market. For example, the seesaw mechanics enables easy back, while the permanent contact mechanism always ensures contact between the back and backrest. A synchronous mechanism adapts to the individual posture and weight and thus ensures an ergonomic seating position. Balance mechanism, on the other hand, offers the peculiarity of dynamic sitting, which keeps the user moving in motion, which prevents back problems and activates the muscles. When choosing the right office chair, you should therefore not only pay attention to the price, but above all to these technical properties.

Why does a lumbar support make sense?
The lumbar of an office chair is a crucial feature of ergonomic comfort. It is specially shaped that it optimally supports the lower back area. This area is particularly susceptible to tension and pain, especially when sitting for longer. Targeted support from the lumbar has helped to maintain the natural curvature of the spine and thus effectively relieve the back and to prevent symptoms.

Pay attention to a good shape of the seat
A head -shaped seating area in an office chair is particularly advantageous for the user. This tendency promotes an upright sitting position and supports the natural S shape of the spine. In addition, the rounded front edge of the seating area prevents pressure points on the thighs. This ensures better blood circulation in the legs and prevents numbness or tingling that can arise from sitting for a long time. Overall, this design of the seating area enables more comfortable and healthier sit over longer periods.

About the choice of materials of a swivel chair
Breathable materials in office chairs are of crucial importance for comfort during the working day. They promote air circulation between the chair and the body of the user. This prevents the formation of heat and moisture congestion, which reduces excessive sweating, especially in warm environments or in the event of intensive use. A chair with breathable materials not only offers a more pleasant seating feeling, but also contributes to the preservation of hygiene and durability of the piece of furniture.

That is why an office chair needs armrests

Height -adjustable armrests are an essential feature of a high -quality office chair. They enable the user to adjust the armrests to the desired height so that the arms can rest in an ergonomic position. This promotes relaxed shoulder and neck farming and reduces the risk of tension in these areas. The possibility of adapting the armrests individually guarantees that every person, regardless of their body size or preferences, will find optimal comfort and the right support. It contributes significantly to a healthy and productive working day.

Over the chair rollers
High quality roles are an often underestimated but still essential feature of an office chair. They not only ensure a smooth movement of the chair, but also protect sensitive floor coverings from scratches and signs of wear. Special hard floor rollers are particularly recommended for hard floors such as parquet, laminate or tiles. These are designed in such a way that they protect the soil, leave no stripes and still roll smoothly. The investment in an office chair with high -quality and suitable roles pays off in the long term because they extend the lifespan of the soil and avoid expensive repairs or renovations.

What does a good office chair cost?

A high -quality office chair that meets the requirements of everyday office life is a worthwhile investment in comfort and health. At WeberBÜRO The prices for such reliable models start at CHF 300. For those who are looking for the latest technology and particularly sophisticated mechanics, our range offers high-tec chairs whose prices start at CHF 800. Of course, we also offer premium brands and exclusive designer pieces, where there are no limits to the top. With the large selection, it is important to find the right chair for individual needs. Therefore, we are available to our customers with professional advice to select the optimal model for everyone.

Which office chair for which body size?

The correct seat height of an office chair is crucial for the comfort and health of the user, especially with intensive screen work. A correctly set chair helps to relieve the body over longer work periods and prevent tension and back problems. An ideal seating angle is reached when the back is completely on the backrest, the feet are flat on the floor and an angle of approx. 90 degrees is between the thigh and lower leg. This ensures that the body remains in a stable and upright position.

In order to determine the right seat height, the body size can be shared by 3.72 - but be careful: this is only a guideline. People differ not only in their total body size, but also in the proportions of their parts of the body. There are so -called "seat giants" in which the upper body is particularly long compared to the legs. You often need a higher seating position to sit ergonomically correctly at the desk. On the other hand, there are "long legs" in which the legs are disproportionately long in relation to the upper body. You usually need a deeper seating position and benefit from a correspondingly adapted seat height and depth. It is therefore important to take into account not only the total body size, but also the individual proportions in order to find the optimal office chair.

For particularly large people, about 240 cm, an office chair should offer an adjustable seat height of up to 65 cm. Some models even offer a height of 70 cm. These are also considered high chairs and must also be equipped with a non -slip climbing aid according to the job ordinance.
