2025-05-14

Being tall can often be a problem when shopping. This applies not only to clothing stores, but also to furniture stores. Tall people have much fewer options for a comfortable chair – one that fits perfectly and is comfortable from the feet to the headrest. If you are of non-standard height you should pay attention to a few simple tips that apply when choosing a chair for working in front of the desk not only in the office, but also in your home environment.

Simple tips for comfortable sitting

First of all we recommend choosing a work chair in the specialized store. You will not only save time and effort while you figure out all the nuances of adjusting the chair yourself but you will also immediately be seated in a chair that is most suitable for your body type. After all, it is more likely that a consultant will offer you a chair that suits you faster than if you go to a place where you have to search for a consultant through several warehouses. When you go to a chair store you will not have to examine everything yourself and press the chair to obey your wishes to rise or bend in the direction you want – just ask the consultant to explain everything to you. Of course, this applies to those clients who are not bothered by personalized attention. But it would not be nice to break something while adjusting the chair yourself, trust the consultant. After all adjusting the chair has already become a routine for him, do not take away his work.

Where to buy the chairs for tall people?

Tallness is not a problem if you come to a store that has a large selection of chairs. You will definitely find a collection among the many chairs that is specifically designed for tall people. For a tall person, the chair is usually too narrow or too short, i.e. is not enough the seat depth. The front of the seat should end at the kneecap when sitting correctly. It should form a 90-degree angle with the chair. The back should be fully supported by the backrest of the chair. If the seat does not take up the entire length of the thigh, sitting may be uncomfortable. The chair becomes too small for the person sitting.

The chair should be raised enough to reach the desired sitting height. It is recommended that your feet be placed on the ground, not on the base of the chair. But there are chairs that have special supports for placing your feet, so you can choose a chair with this additional function according to your seating needs.

Adjustable height backrest

Another important feature that distinguishes a chair for tall people is an adjustable height backrest. It has a significant impact on the comfort of the chair. The more the backrest covers the back, the more comfortable the chair becomes for the person sitting. If the upper body of the person sitting is long, then the usual chair height is often not enough. You need to use the chair backrest lifting function. And for complete comfort an adjustable headrest is also highly recommended. In such a chair a tall person can adjust everything from the bottom to the headrest. In a chair for a tall person the headrest is often adjusted not only in height but also in its tilt angle and depth. And last but not least, it is important that the chair has adjustable armrests. Armrests are recommended not only as the part of the chair, but also for comfortable hand support. The armrests should be raised to the height of the tabletop and level with it. By working according to the recommendations and doing pauses, you will not only reduce the likelihood of back pain, but you will also be less tired and will not feel the discomfort caused by sedentary work.
