Buying an Office Chair - Part 1
BUYING A GOOD OFFICE CHAIR
"You spend more time in your chair at work than your couch
at home. Why pay less for your chair?" |
|
There are several critical aspects to using a good office chair. It is important to realize that the proper use of a good chair is not something everyone knows, because not everyone has a good office chair at present. Furthermore, it is important to realize that unless you use a good office chair correctly, then the effectiveness of the chair in reducing discomforts and increasing productivity will be reduced. |  |

Upon receiving your chair, you should review the following tips. First, it is important to understand the proper sitting posture while using a computer. This is shown at the right. It is important to realize that this position is not something that should be maintained 8 hours per day. It is important to change postures and get up out of the chair periodically and move around. Additional tips to using a good office chair are listed below. |
- Take a break and get out of the chair at least every hour.
- Be sure you know what each control does and how it works.
- Be sure to repair any defects immediately.
- Be sure to have someone help you to be sure the chair is adjusted properly.
- Follow the manufacturers instructions for care and use.
- Ensure proper arrangement of other equipment and activities around your chair.
- Be sure the backrest is properly positioned in the small of your back and provides sufficient tension.
- Be sure your chair is adjusted so that your upper legs and lower arms are parallel to the floor while typing. If your feet do not touch the floor, then a footrest needs to be provided.
- Adjust the arms to support your lower arms without your shoulders shrugging, your torso leaning to one side, or your elbows extended from your side.

| Following these simple rules and purchasing a good office chair will help promote a happy healthy back and keep you comfortable and productive. |
