Get Comfy in an Ergonomic Chair
By Paul Cameron on June 17, 2009
Probably just about everyone thinks that offices need to be more comfortable. Lots of office workers experience a variety of aches and pains in the back, neck, legs and head. Some people experience a burning or tingling sensation after sitting for hours. Others find that their arthritis symptoms worsen when they’re seated at a desk all day.
The problem is that you can only get so comfortable in an office and still be able to do your job efficiently. The solution for this problem is an ergonomic chair. These chairs are made to ease the stress of people who sit at a desk throughout the work day.
Standard chairs are either made for function or for comfort, but ergonomic chairs can do both. They can keep you comfortable even when you sit for extended periods of time. Here’s a look at some of the styles these chairs come in.
* Standard ergonomic chair. These chairs are designed to provide optimal support to every part of your body while you’re working. They are fully adjustable in many different directions, so you can customize them to get the perfect seating arrangement. They provide good support for your legs and your back.
* Kneeling chair. Ergonomic kneeling chairs look like they are meant for working out, not sitting on. At first glance they look like they would be uncomfortable. But because the seat tilts forward and is padded at the knees, these chairs ease the tension on the leg muscles. Because they are angled forward, they help to reduce strain on the back and better support the spine.
* Saddle seat. As its name suggests, the shape of this chair is very similar to a horse saddle. Your hips are positioned naturally so that you will lean from the pelvic area rather than the waist when you shift around. This style is ideal for improving the posture of people who have a tendency to slouch forward.
* Exercise ball chair. Although it looks like an exercise ball on wheels, these chairs aren’t meant for working out. The ball chair relieves the pressure from the spine, improves posture, and strengthens the torso. Some designs include back support.
* Recliner chair. Reclining is the most relaxing position for the back. This is especially true for people who are suffering from lumber spinal stenosis or other spine-related problems. These chairs aren’t made for use at a desk, but they often have swing away tabletops that can comfortably hold your laptop computer or paperwork.
The best ergonomic chairs are designed to keep you from experiencing the discomfort that can occur when you sit for long periods of time. The bottom line is that if you’re more comfortable, you’re more productive.
