Office Chairs - Simple Tests to Identify the Ideal One

[officemaster]

How do you choose among the different office chairs available for sale? You can look at them and evaluate their features for as long as you want, but careful inspection will not guarantee comfort and functionality. You actually have to test any chair in real working conditions. Use the following tests to ensure that you will make the right choice.

Seat Tests

The seat height and its depth are two of the most important factors to consider when choosing between different office chairs available. When you sit down on the chair, your feet should rest comfortably on the floor while your back should rest perfectly on the backrest. The angle between your chest and your thighs should be between 95 and 105 degrees. If it is smaller, the seat may not be deep enough for you. If it is much greater, then the model is too large for you.

The other really important test for office chairs measures the distance between the back of your knees and the front edge of the seat when your feet rest on the floor while your back is against the backrest. This distance should be between 2 and 4 inches. This ensures that the seat and respectively the entire item will match your height.

When you sit down on a chair placed behind your desk, you should face the computer monitor. It should be right in front of you. If not, you should be able to adjust the height of the seat accordingly or look for another model.

Backrest Tests

Many office chairs claim to offer lumbar support, but you have to confirm that this is the case before you make a purchase. When you sit down with your feet firmly positioned on the floor and relax your body, you should feel the backrest following the contour of your spine perfectly. This is particularly important for the curve of the lower back. It should be "filled" completely. You should feel support, but no pressure. It is best if you perform this test for several hours to ensure that you will actually get what you are looking for.

For perfect support, the backrest should come to the middle of the shoulder blades at least. This will guarantee that your upper back will feel good as well. Generally, the higher the backrest is the better.

Padding Test

It is important for you to test the padding of office chairs as well. When you sit down and relax, you should feel the padding neither too firm nor too soft. You shouldn't sink into the chair. Similarly, you should not feel as if you are sitting on a hard surface. The padding should conform to the shape of your body and hug you slightly while offering reliable support.

Finally, you should know that you can test the armrests too. Their height should match the height of the desk. At the same time, when you rest your arms on them, they should allow you to relax your shoulders fully. This will guarantee you the maximum comfort when you are typing and when you decide to take a break.
