Computers have become indispensable office and entertainment tools for modern people, who sit in front of computers for more than 8 hours a day. The use of improperly designed, uncomfortable and poor quality office chairs will do great harm to people's health.
Health is priceless, so it's important to buy a comfortable ergonomic office chair. Simply put, the so-called ergonomics is the use of "people-oriented" scientific concept to design products.
GDHERO recommends that you focus on the following 7 aspects when choosing an ergonomic office chair:
1.The height of the seat cushion determines the comfort of the legs. Keep your feet flat on the ground with your ankles at a 90-degree Angle. The Angle between the thigh and the calf, that is, the Angle at the knee is also about a right Angle. In this way, the height of the seat cushion is the most appropriate; In short, It is the ankle, knee at two natural right angles.
2.The depth of the seat cushion determines lower limb pressure and lumbar health. The knee does not fit with the seat front edge, leaving a little gap, and the thigh as far as possible to sit on the cushion. Increasing the area of contact between the body and the seat is the best way to reduce the pressure on the lower extremities. The lower pressure will make the user feeling comfortable and sitting for a longer time.
3.The height of the lumbar pillow determines the health of the lumbar spine. The proper lumbar pillow height is the position of the spine bones in the 2-4 segments of the human spine from the bottom up. Only in this position can the normal S-shaped curve of the human spine be fixed. The waist is pushed forward, the upper body is naturally straight, the chest is opened, the breathing is smooth, the work efficiency is improved, and the damage to the upper part of the spine is avoided.
4.Reclining function determines the efficiency of office and rest. There are two benefits to reclining your chair: First, ergonomic studies have shown that when you lie back at 135 degrees, the back is able to share some of the pressure on your body, so you feel more comfortable and work more efficiently. Second, when the user needs to rest, just recline the chair back, with the leg support device such as footrest, the user will get a more comfortable rest experience, and quickly recover energy.
5.The height and Angle of the headrest determine the comfort of the cervical spine. The headrest of the ergonomic office chair can be generally adjusted in the height and Angle, so that the headrest supports in the 3th -7th sections of the cervical spine, which can effectively alleviate the fatigue of the cervical spine and prevent bone spurs or chronic cervical spine degradation.
6.The height and Angle of the armrest determine the comfort of the shoulder and arm. The most appropriate height of the armrest is that hand ribs naturally present 90 degrees Angle, if too high the shoulder will shrug, too low it will hang which cause shoulder pain.
7.The material of the back and seat determines the comfort of the sitting position. With the development of science and technology, ergonomic office chair has abandoned the airtight leather or other traditional materials, seat cushion, back cushion, headrest are generally used more fashionable, more scientific and technological mesh fabric material.
As long as you judge and buy office chair from the above 7 aspects, I believe you can have a good office chair. In addition, GDHERO reminds you of 3 other things you need to pay attention to for a healthy office:
First, set the time, every hour to stand up, then move the lower cervical and lumbar vertebrae;
Second, choose lifting desk products to realize alternating office sitting and standing, keep healthy and improve work efficiency;
Third, configure the display support, adjust the screen to the right height and Angle, fundamentally liberate the cervical spine, avoid cervical spine diseases.
