How to choose the right office chair for your home office?
Whether for work at the office or life in a home office, picking the right desk chair is crucial. As such, there are a few things you will want to keep in mind when starting your search!
Our Suggestions:
- To keep your body from getting fatigued, the best office chairs promote the natural “S” curve of the spine, with your head – which is heavy – balanced at the top.
- A good office chair should be adjustable for your height and provide lumbar (lower back) support for your back.
- The chair seat should be contoured to allow even weight distribution and be at least 1 inch wider than your hips and thighs on either side.
- The seat height should be adjustable so the fronts of your knees are level or slightly below level when your feet are firmly on the ground.
- Don’t buy a really good chair and then hunch down to look at your laptop.
- If mobility Is important, the chair should have casters that glide freely over the floor. You may want a chair that swivels.
