ERGONOMIC OFFICE CHAIR

The most useful tips for sitting properly on an office chair:

1.You need to sit ergonomically at your desk

You’ve probably first wondered what ergonomic sitting actually means in practice. Sitting at a desk is ergonomic when you can place your feet flat on the floor with an upright posture and a rectangular bend of the knees, while at the same time having the elbows of the bent arms at the height of the keyboard.When choosing an office chair, you should also make sure that the backrest offers good support for the middle and lower part of the spine.Properly ergonomically designed chair adapts to your body and movements so that the pelvis is properly supported, and the posture of the spine is natural and completely relaxed. The upholstered part of the chair, ie the seat and backrest, must be made of natural materials. This allows air to circulate and heat to be supplied. The use of a mechanism for raising, lowering and tilting the seat and backrest is extremely welcome.

2.Use swivel chairs for sitting

Swivel chairs - swivel armchairs and carousels work best and for a long time sitting at a desk. Such a piece of furniture should be as stable and strong enough as possible; it must include at least four or five rollers.The seat should have an adjustable height with the possibility of adjusting the backrest and tilting back and forth. Your forearms should rest on the work surface of the table or on the appropriate armrests. The backrests can also be used effectively for occasional relaxation, but they are definitely a welcome help when getting up. When choosing, make sure that the backrests are height-adjustable so that they do not touch the edge of the table if, for example, you want to pull the chair closer.

3.Do not keep your legs crossed while sitting

The front edge of the desk seat should have a rounded bottom edge or suitably padded. This will prevent obstruction of blood flow in the legs.With the spring-loaded spindle of the writing chair, you achieve that the shock when sitting on the chair is damped. Keep the chair safe from tipping over. Do not keep your legs crossed while sitting.

4 tips for flawless posture while sitting on a chair:

1.Adjust the height of the desk so that the angle between the forearm and upper arm is preferably 90 degrees. Keep your upper arms hanging down relaxed. The forearms should be in a horizontal line towards the work surface.

2.The seat surface of the writing chair should be designed to prevent sliding forward. The seat area should be fully occupied.

3.With your knees and legs slightly bent, keep your thighs firmly on the floor. Keep them approximately in a horizontal position.

4.The back support should serve you in such a way that when changing the posture of the upper part of the body, it always gives support in the lumbar part of the spine.
