How to choose your chair

Choosing your chair

If there's one question that we get all the time, it's How do I choose a chair? While there's no right or wrong way to choose your chair, there are a few key areas that you should keep in mind. Roll over the highlighted areas to learn the important items to bear in mind.

Be sure to check out our second section on choosing a chair - the different seat mechanisms available.

Rest your back.

A contoured back rest will provide the needed comfort and support for your back. Pick a chair shaped to match the natural contour of your spine.

Adjust the height.

Adjustable backrests provide you with customized comfort and support.

Firmness.

For total comfort, seat and back foam must be dense enough to support your weight evenly and it should be sculpted to fit the human form.

Waterfall seat cushions

slope down at the front of the chair. This important ergonomic feature helps improve circulation to your lower legs.

Arm rests

help keep your arms in a comfortable position, reducing shoulder, neck and back strain. Those with adjustable height and tilt are especially good.

Pneumatic height adjustment

lets you alter your seating position throughout the day.

Reach for the controls.

All adjustment levers should be reachable from a seated position. Multi-tilt and operator mechanisms allow you to adjust your posture throughout the day.

Casters

will allow for easy mobility and are available for different surfaces from hard floors to carpets. Alternatively you can get a charmat for further flexability.
