Choosing the perfect swivel chair
When choosing the right adjustable swivel chair, imagine sitting, moving, and working from that chair for hours at a time. This is a swivel chair that will be a major part of daily life, so it is imperative to make sure it has all the features you like best and fits your needs, but none that will get in your way. Features you think you can “put up with” become major annoyances after a long period of time.
First, is the chair upholstered in vinyl, leather or cloth? Cloth upholstery, as with car seats, will tend to “breathe,” offering more body comfort, yet may not be as easy to keep clean. Seat and back height adjustment, back angle, tilt, armrests, and castors are also important features to be considered.
Height adjustable chairs are very important when switching from the computer table to a standard desk height. Is the chair easily adjustable, and can you do this “on the fly” during a busy work day?
When checking the chair’s mobility, consider the type of floor your office has. If your office has a vinyl carpet protector, ask to try the chair on a hard surface, and vice versa. Some castors work better on hard surfaces than others.
Many people with back problems need the erg anomic chair, which is also adjustable, and specially made to accommodate body contours for comfort and ease of motion. some swivel chair backs are shaped to fit the small of the back, and the tilt, and back angle should be tested for maximum comfort and proper back height adjustment.
What about armrests? They can lend great support and comfort when the forearms need to remain slightly raised during a task. Yet, they can get in the way when sliding under a desk or the user is physically active with the chair being moved about during the workday. Do the armrests lift conveniently out of the way when desired? Once you have made these decisions, you are well on your way to making a wise purchase.
