6 Things You Should Look For When Buying an Office Chair

Do you feel tired throughout the day at the office without any reason? If so, you don't need to get in touch with a doctor. The first thing that you need to do is check your office chair. Nowadays, most people spend their day sitting in a chair. Is your chair comfortable enough? If you think your chair is not comfortable enough, we suggest that you keep a few things in mind prior to buying a new office chair. This article sheds light on some important features that you should look for in your desired office chair. Read on.
Adjustable Height
Based on your office desk, the height of the chair should be determined. It's a good idea to opt for a chair that allows you to adjust its height. For most people, the height of the chair should be between 16 inches and 21 inches from the ground. Make sure you can put your feet on the ground while sitting in the chair. Your eyes and the computer screen should be on the same level. This is really important if you sit at your computer throughout the day.
The Seat Back
You are not in a grade school. So, you no longer need to sit in the class. If you want to put minimum stress on your back, make sure you sit at an angle of 135 degrees. Moreover, you need to make sure that the chair has enough room so you can slouch back without any problem.
Armrests
If you don't want to put too much strain on your armrests, we suggest that you keep the upper part of your arms in the vertical position and the forearms near the horizontal plane. Therefore, you should purchase a chair that has armrests. This type of chair allows you to rest your arms on the arms of the chair.
Seat Depth
If you want to maintain the shape of your knees, make sure the chair has the right depth. In simple words, if you sit with your back against the back of the chair, the seat depth should be 2 to 4 inches.
Proper Wheels
Rolling chairs are of different types. If your desk stands on a solid surface, you may want to look for a chair that has rubber wheels. On the other hand, if your desk stands on a rug, you may want to look for a chair with wheels, as this type of chair can be easy to move around.
Lumbar Support
If you sit for a prolonged period of time without support for your lower back, you will end up straining your spine. As a result, you will have to slouch a lot. Therefore, we suggest that you look for a chair that offers lumbar support. Aside from this, the lumbar support should be adjustable as far as height or depth goes.
