In excess of 9 million work days a year are said to be lost as a result of bad posture and office seating, making ergonomic seating a wise investment.
Working in an office typically involves spending a great deal of time sitting in an office chair –Think about it. How much time do we spend sitting at work? Eight hours a day and 5 days a week is the usual. Sitting down is what most of us do the entire day so – a position that adds stress to the structures of the spine. To avoid developing or compounding back problems it is important to have an office chair that supports the lower back and promotes good posture.
An ergonomic office chair is not just an item of furniture – it is a work tool allowing for flexible working whilst supporting the body and positioning the spine correctly. An increasing number of office furniture manufacturers offer highly competitive ergonomic seating solutions as standard.
These offer the following minimum requirements: seat height adjustment, seat depth adjustment, seat forward tilt, backrest height adjustment, recline and height adjustable armrests.
Our range of ergonomic office chairs includes models from RH Seating and Mesh which are our best sellers.
It is crazy to think that you can avoid injury by sitting in the right position and arranging your desk correctly but you can.
