What should an ergonomic office chair meet?

Many people ask themselves the question: 'which office chair should I use for back pain?'. The answer to this question is an ergonomic office chair. However, this ergonomic office chair must meet various criteria to be comfortable and supportive for the user. Below are some important features of a good ergonomic office chair:

Adjustable seat height

The height of the chair must be adjustable so that the feet can rest flat on the ground and the knees can be placed at the same height as the hips.

Adjustable backrest

The backrest of the chair must be adjustable so that the user can adjust the backrest to the natural curvature of the back and provide adequate support to the lower back.

Adjustable armrests

The armrests of the chair must be adjustable so that the user can comfortably support the arms while typing and keep the shoulders relaxed.

Breathable fabric

The upholstery of the chair must be breathable, so that the user does not overheat and can remain comfortable while sitting for longer periods.

Tilt mechanism

It is important that the chair has a tilt mechanism so that the user can change positions and relieve the muscles and joints while working.

Stability

The chair must be stable and not wobble or move during use, to give the user a sense of safety and support.

How do you adjust your ergonomic office chair?

Below you will find a short step-by-step plan for adjusting your ergonomic office chair:

Adjust the height of the chair

Adjust the height so that you sit comfortably. Place your feet flat on the floor and make sure your knees are bent at a 90-degree angle.

Adjust the height of the backrest

The backrest of your chair should follow the natural curve of your back. Adjust the height of the backrest so that it supports the lower back and you sit comfortably.

Adjust the depth of the seat

Make sure there is about 5 to 10 cm between the front of the seat and the back of your knee. This provides optimal support for your thighs and reduces pressure on your lower back.

Adjust the armrests

Adjust the armrests of your chair so that your arms are bent at a 90-degree angle and your shoulders are relaxed. If the armrests are too high, this can cause tension in your shoulders and neck. If they are too low, this can cause tension in your arms and wrists.

Adjust the tilt function of the chair

Some ergonomic office chairs have a tilt function. Adjust this so that your chair tilts slightly forward, this ensures a better sitting posture and reduces pressure on your lower back.

Test the chair

Sit in your chair and test if it is adjusted correctly. If you still feel tension or pain, adjust the settings until you find a comfortable posture. It may take a while to find the ideal sitting position, so take the time to adjust the settings and experiment.
