Easy Way to Choose a Chair

2024-07-14

Often endless questions arise when buying an item for a longer use. They range from how to choose it and ends with the characteristics of the item. No less effort should be put in and your homework should be done before buying a work chair.

We give you some tips to help you choose the most comfortable chair that you will enjoy for many years.

Durability. First of all, you should pay attention to your working conditions. One chair will be more suitable for working in the office and quite another for working in production, for more than 8 hours a day. The durability of the chair is indicated by the chair’s lifting cylinder being of the highest possible class (the maximum load of the 4th class cylinder even up to 250 kg), the strong design of the seat and backrest (heavy-duty chairs have an extremely strong steel backrest and seat design), a reinforced base (the ability to choose a six-legged one) and a wear-resistant fabric or a mesh for better air circulation.

Ergonomics. Another important feature is the possibility to fully adjust the chair. Nowadays it is no longer surprising that it is possible to adjust the height of the chair, armrests. The latest chairs allow you to adjust the heights of the seat and backrest, headrest and lumbar support. The more options there are to adjust the chair to your desired seating position, the more ergonomic the chair is.  It also provides greater seating comfort.

Fabric. It is also very important that you can choose a chair from several different upholstery options. They can be leather, mesh fabric or tapestry. The great importance is the upholstery resistance to abrasion. The upholstery resistance to abrasion is indicated by the Martindale scale. The higher the number according to this international standard the more resistant the upholstery is. This is especially important when using a chair in long shifts, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Color. Do not forget that you can choose not only the color of the seat or backrest tapestry but also the color of the frame of the chair itself. Those who like the Scandinavian design should like the bright frame of the chair. For those who like the classics the black frame will be the best choice. The color of the chair’s basis is often also matched to the frame of the chair. When buying a new chair there is an opportunity to choose not only a comfortable chair, but also color-matched to the interior of your home or office.

Which chair to choose?

Each chair has its own place of use, i.e. the kitchen chair will not be very comfortable when working at the computer.  Vice versa – if you like to spend long hours with friends enjoying food in the dining room, an office chair will not be the best choice. It’s the same with the time spent in the work chair.  The more hours we spend in it the more ergonomic features the chair should have.

When working for long hours and several shifts heavy-duty chairs with a stronger mechanism and a more friction-resistant fabric should also be chosen. Such chairs have not only an extremely strong steel backrest and seat design, but also a safer six-legged cross. As well as adjustable not only the height of the seat, but also the backrest, lumbar support and headrest, comfortable armrests.

Beauty specialists working in medical institutions should also choose such chairs that reduce the distance between the specialist and the client. Chairs – saddles are the perfect choice for those who care not only about the health of their customers, but also about their own. This type of chair makes your back straight, reduces the risk of back pain and improves well-being.
