The 6 steps to choosing the best office chair

If you're looking for advice on how to select the best ergonomic office chairs, you've come to the right place.

But let's start with a simple question first: What makes a chair “ergonomic” and what are the essential elements you should look for in a quality office or task chair? In this article, we will explore the main characteristics of ergonomic chairs, presenting some models from the tavolisedie.com catalogue to help you make the best choice when purchasing.

Tilting and reclining

To avoid soreness and discomfort after long hours of sitting, it is essential to be able to vary your position. Ergonomic office chairs offer a reclining mechanism that follows the movements of your body when you lean back, helping to relax your muscles and improve comfort.

Maximum comfort

Contrary to the concerns of some, an ergonomic chair is designed to offer maximum comfort during long hours of use. These chairs can feature various types of seating, from padded chairs that offer instant comfort, to chairs with mesh upholstery that combine strength, elasticity and breathability.

A complete adjustment

Office chairs are highly customisable, with several adjustable parts to suit individual needs. It is possible to adjust the height from the floor, the height of the backrest and the level of the armrests to suit each user's height and work surface. Some models also offer the possibility to adjust the seat depth or backrest height for maximum comfort.

The correct posture

Ergonomic office chairs are designed to promote correct posture, ensuring proper alignment of the spinal column, from the waist to the neck, and providing adequate support for the legs and arms while working at the desk. These ergonomic chairs feature a backrest that follows the natural shape of the spine in an S-curve and often a seat contoured to fit the body. A distinctive feature of the top-of-the-range chairs is the adjustable lumbar support that provides the right support for the lower back.

The UNI EN 1335 standard

When selecting a desk chair, it is essential to ensure that it meets safety and quality standards. One of the most important certifications to look for is UNI EN 1335 (click here to read more).
This European standard sets out the requirements for ergonomic office chairs, ensuring that they are designed to promote back health and user comfort. Our certified ergonomic chairs are quality products that promote correct posture and well-being during your working hours.

Fire resistance

An important aspect to consider when choosing an office chair is its fire resistance capacity.
This is especially crucial in environments where fire hazards may be present. Fire-resistant chairs are designed to resist flames and retard their spread, helping to ensure the safety of building occupants.

Certified and safe ergonomic office chairs

In conclusion, when it comes to choosing the perfect office chair, taking ergonomic characteristics into account is essential to ensure correct posture and lasting comfort during long working hours.

Ergonomic chairs not only promote better back health but also help improve your productivity and overall well-being. With adjustable options, comfortable designs, and reclining mechanisms, these types of chairs are a smart investment for those who spend a lot of time at their desks. By choosing wisely, you will enjoy a more ergonomic and comfortable working environment that will make a difference in your working day.
