Are you looking for an office chair? An ergonomic chair is essential for office workers and can prevent physical damage. Our guide shows you what you should definitely look out for when buying.

General information about office chairs

An office chair should prevent unpleasant complaints such as back pain. An ergonomic chair has the following advantages:

• Health is maintained
• Work is easier to do
• Prevents strained or incorrect posture

We offer you a large selection of ergonomic office chairs. An incorrectly selected office chair can cause considerable discomfort. The office chair should be tailored to your individual needs. Your preferences and your workload are decisive. In any case, the office chair should be adapted to your body. The desk height is of secondary importance.

A good office chair has good upholstery, supports your back and is swivelling, flexible and mobile thanks to its castors. Office workers spend up to eight hours just sitting. The intervertebral discs and back must not suffer as a result. To prevent damage, the chair must fulfil essential features.

How do I adjust an office chair correctly?

An ergonomic office chair should be able to be adjusted precisely to your body size. Expert consultants are on hand to help you with this. You can consider the following points yourself:

Office chair seat height is crucial

The thigh should fall slightly towards the knee. Ideally, the chair should be adjustable upwards and downwards. Seat depth suspension is also recommended. It cushions the body weight.

The backrest of your office chair

The backrest must also be adjusted to your body weight and mass. Your personal feeling is decisive here. In order to be able to stretch extensively, the backrest must not be too wide at the top. Here is a self-test: stretch your arms upwards and lean backwards. The backrest should not hinder you.

The lumbar support is also crucial for the backrest. This is an area that is curved forwards. The height of the support can usually be adjusted independently and provides comfortable support. The support is usually located in the lower part of the spine. Orthopaedists recommend a support at the level of the iliac crest.

Armrests

The armrests should be adjustable in height and width. This is the only way to adjust them individually. If you roll the chair up to the table, you should first touch the table with your stomach. Only then should the armrests touch the edge. The shoulders should be relieved by the armrests. The width of the armrests must be adapted to the width of the shoulders. In addition, the armrests must not be too long. Armrests that are too long prevent you from rolling up to the table. Particularly petite people should opt for short armrests. As you lean on the armrests when standing up, they should be sturdy enough.

Seat depth and seat surface

Anyone sitting on the chair must have secure contact with the backrest. Ideally, there should be a distance of three or four fingers between the back of the knee and the front edge of the seat. The size of the seat should be adjusted to the user's height and weight.

Neck and headrest

Whether the head or neck is supported depends on individual preference. The focus here is on comfort. It must be possible to adjust the height and depth of a headrest to the proportions of the body. If the supports are not adjustable, the office chair is not recommended.

What do I need to consider when buying?

We give you an overview of what you should definitely consider when buying a chair.

• Select castors to suit the floor
• Easy care and comfort of the seat cushions
• Easy operation and accessibility of the levers
• Removable seat cushions for easy cleaning
• Instruction manual included
• Certified office chair including quality seal (a GS test mark is mandatory in Germany)
• In the event of damage, the manufacturer should be easily accessible so that gas springs, armrests etc. can be easily replaced
• Long warranty periods and services

How expensive is an office chair?

The quality of an office chair should always be adapted to the workload. The more hours you spend on the office chair, the more exclusive the features should be. Inexpensive models with a working time of up to four hours a day are a good start. If you have a much heavier workload in the office, you should opt for high-quality materials of the best quality. A chair in this price range can require an investment of up to 1000 euros. This may sound a lot at first, but bear in mind that a professional chair can prevent damage to your health if you work for 8 hours a day. Inexpensive models for a home office are available from as little as 100 euros.

The office chair is used in many different ways today

The office chair is used in many different ways today. Whether students, the self-employed or employees working from home. These occupational groups should also make sure they have a high-quality office chair. An incorrect or poor quality office chair can cause back problems or problems with the intervertebral discs after just one hour of work.

Conclusion: Which chair you choose depends on many personal factors such as body size, body mass and workload. Depending on your working hours, the chair should be equipped accordingly. However, one thing is important: no matter how many hours you spend on your office chair, good quality is noticeable even after just one hour of work.
