Advice on healthy sitting in your office chair
1. Use the full depth of the office chair, down to the backrest. This effectively protects the spine.
2. The upper and lower arms should be at right angles to the seat. The armrests on your office chair can optimally support this posture.
3. Your feet should be completely on the floor and level on the seat. Also, make sure you have plenty of leg room.
4. Move! Changing your posture can prevent you from sitting stiffly for long periods of time. Sit back, stand upright and bend forward slightly. Many office chairs have backrests that follow these movements.
Which casters are best for your office chair?
The hardness of the casters of individual office chairs is different. This should be chosen to match your office's floor covering, on which your chair will later stand or roll.
If your workplace has soft surfaces, such as carpet, hard casters on office chairs, it makes more sense.
If your floors are covered with laminate or similar, it is recommended to use soft brake castors for tables and chairs to protect your floor covering and ensure freedom of movement.
What extra features are useful for an office chair?
For people with sensitive neck muscles, a headrest can also help relieve cervical spine problems.
During this time, you should stand up, stretch, do small exercises, and change your posture.
