WHAT ARE ERGONOMICS & HOW DO ERGONOMIC CHAIRS AFFECT YOUR OFFICE LIFE?
Ergonomics is most likely a term that has piqued the interest of many people in the past, with technology accessories such as an ergonomic mouse, keyboard, ergonomic palm rest, and ergonomic chairs. What is it about ergonomics, ergonomic tables, and so on that manufacturers are interested in and incorporate these designs into their technology products? Ergonomic desks and chairs are undoubtedly the top priority today if you want to improve your health and have a comfortable and efficient working environment while working from home.
I. What is ergonomics?
Ergonomics is the study of the relationship between people and their working environment, particularly in terms of "use". Designers must ensure that products offer optimal user comfort for them to achieve the best fit for the user. In other words, how a product is used greatly influences its size and shape. That is an ergonomic decision. Ergonomics improves the usability, comfort, and functionality of a product.
II. Ergonomic chair - an excellent chair for improving your health
Ergonomic chairs are those that are designed to provide the best possible sitting posture for the user's spine, neck, and back. Ergonomic chairs were created after hundreds of years of research into human sitting and working posture. With a design that focuses on major body structures that are prone to stress during work, such as the seat cushion, headrest, 3D/4D armrest, and so on, these key structures are designed to carry maximum comfort for the user for an extended period.
There are many different types of ergonomic chairs available today, including Kneeling chairs, Ball chairs, Bubble chairs, Ergonomic office chairs, and so on. This Adorn Museum will concentrate on office ergonomic chair models, which are the most commonly used today.
III. What are the most notable benefits of ergonomic chairs?
1. Improve your long-term health protection (spine, waist, neck,....)
Ergonomic chairs have a long history of research and development to achieve the best and most standard designs for the user's physique. They can help protect the spine in particular because the back is always in an upright position regardless of how you sit. Ergonomic chairs also have a custom seat cushion that supports the spine and stays close to the back of the chair for hours of solid support.
2. Highly customizable
Almost all of the key components of an ergonomic chair are adjustable to accommodate each individual's situation, physique, and recreational working environment. Specifically:
- To keep the spine close to the back of the chair, the seat cushion slides in and out.
- The headrest adjusts up and down to provide a precise neck support.
- Foot numbness can be avoided by adjusting the seat height.
- All shoulder sizes can use the 3D/4D armrest.
3. Material of superior quality
The ergonomic chairs are works of art in terms of design and material choice. Unlike office chairs and gaming chairs, ergonomic chairs do not prioritize sophisticated materials. The highest priority is still high-quality, convenient, lightweight, airy, and durable material, but it also ensures users' stability when sitting and moving. The back and seat cushions are usually made of delicate mesh material that is breathable, firm, with limited perspiration, dustproof, and anti-adhesion.
4. Beautiful design that focuses on sitting posture
The curves are chosen to be subtle and harmonious, serving the body/sitting posture well while also providing the ideal aesthetic highlight. A standard ergonomic chair balances sitting up straight, lowering your head to think, leaning back to relax, and even leaning back to nap. In all cases, the back, headrest, and spine are fully and properly supported, allowing the user to turn freely without fear of the body becoming unsupported. As shown below, it can recline with varying degrees of flexibility.
With those excellent points, it is clear that ergonomic chairs are an excellent choice for office workers, who frequently suffer from spine and joint problems and have little time to exercise. So why don't we get ourselves a good ergonomic chair?
