What to consider when buying a New Office Chair

Working in an Office generally means spending a great deal of time sitting on an Office Chair which also means the Desk Chair you choose affects not only your Productivity but also your Health. However, with countless options available in the market, selecting the right chair to provide lower back support and promote good posture can be a difficult task. No single office chair is necessarily the best; but in the end, there are some features that are very important to look for in a good ergonomic chair. Here is a guide to help you along the way as you make the best selection.
Height Adjustment
For optimal flexibility, the height range of an office chair should be easily adjustable to offer both a slightly lower and a slightly higher height than your ideal setting. The height setting should allow you to have your feet flat on the floor; if the height is too high, there will be too much pressure on your knees and limited blood circulation.  If too low, your knees will be higher than your hips, causing your body weight to shift back and put pressure on your sitting muscles. An ideal ergonomic chair should allow you to move from about 16 to 21 inches off the floor, allowing you to have your feet flat on the floor.
Lumbar Support
Lower back pain is a major ailment for most office workers making lumbar support an essential feature on a good ergonomic office chair. Having the proper back support would make a world of difference to anyone who spends long hours seated at the office. The lower portion of the spine, just above the buttocks, naturally curves inward toward the. A lumbar back support helps promote good posture by simply filling in the gap between the lumbar spine and the seat, supporting the natural inward curve of the lower back. Without lumbar support, it becomes more difficult to maintain the correct posture, putting a strain on your lower back. An ergonomic chair should have a lumbar adjustment (both height and depth) so each user can get the proper fit to support the inward curve of the lower back.
Backrest
The backrest of an ergonomic chair should be adjustable in height and angle so as to support the natural curve of the spine, with proper attention paid to the lumbar area. In addition to this, the surface area of the backrest should also be large enough to provide proper mid-back and upper-back support to the shoulder-blade level. The back of the chair should interfere with the movement of your elbows behind the torso.
Adjustable Armrests
Arms support the upper torso and reduce the strain tension in the neck and shoulder regions when working. For ultimate functionality, the arms should be height and angle adjustable so that they ca be positioned to offer customized support for the user. Armrests that are not adjustable may expose the user to awkward postural positions and/or fail to provide adequate support.  For instance, if positioned too low, the user may be forced to lean over to the side to rest one forearm resulting in uneven and awkward postural position and avoidable fatigue. The perfect armrest structure should be able to support the weight of your arms, removing muscle work for shoulders and upper arms.
Recline Tilt Motion
A good ergonomic chair should allow users of different weights to sit back and relax without having the free-fall feeling by adjusting the tension and reclining relative to the floor. This means that the chair will use your body weight as a counterbalance when leaning forward or reclining without compromising the ideal vision and arm-reach zone.
Working in an office makes sitting down on an office chair for long hours inevitable – a position that stresses the body exacerbating health problems especially associated with the neck, shoulder, back, and joints. Therefore to avoid such health problems, it is important to have an ergonomic office chair that promotes good posture and movement.
