Pro Tips to Find the Best Chair for Your Home Office
Even if you have hours devoted to finding the best chair for your home office, it’s better to know exactly what qualities to look for. So, to guide you on your search, here are some pro tips to consider:
- Check for lumbar support. Go for a model with an adjustable backrest that follows the natural shape of the spine and supports the lower back.
- When you sit in the chair, your feet should rest flat on the floor. Make the necessary adjustments to the chair height if your feet are hanging or your knees are higher than your hips.
- Make sure the arm rests are located close to the body and allow your shoulders to relax.
- To avoid straining your shoulders, choose a chair with an arm height-adjustable feature to help you match the height of the armrests to the height of the desk.
- When you are seated and looking forward, you should be seeing the centre of the computer screen to prevent both neck and eye strain.
- Ideally, the back of the chair should reach all the way up to the middle of the shoulder blades or above the shoulder to provide adequate support.
- The chair seat or base must be long enough to accommodate two or three finger lengths between it and your knees.
- Check the wheelbase or castors to ensure these are suitable for the floor surface in your workspace, whether it’s made of hard flooring material or covered with a carpet.
- To enable easy access to various office supplies or workspace equipment, make sure your chair has a swivel base. This feature will also help you prevent developing arm fatigue.
- Choose a chair made of breathable fabric or one with a mesh backrest if you’ll be using your chair for extended hours.
