Classification of ergonomic chairs
Combined with my own experience and understanding of more than a dozen ergonomic chairs of different grades, I think that ergonomic chairs with different prices can be divided in this way: entry-level chairs within 1,000 yuan can meet basic adjustment and support needs; calculations between 1,000-2,000 yuan The advanced class has richer and more comprehensive functions, a larger adjustment range, and a better support experience; the range of 2000-4000 RMB belongs to mid-to-high-end products, the materials and design details are comprehensively improved, the function adjustment is more delicate and precise, and the overall experience is better. If the price goes up, the overall experience will continue to rise, but it is not the mainstream range for ordinary consumers, so we won't discuss it too much. I conclude that ergonomic chairs of different grades will have obvious differences in the following aspects.
1. Workmanship and design. You get what you pay for. Although they are all ergonomic chairs, the price difference between different grades of products is quite large, so the difference in workmanship of different grades is also quite obvious. To choose a product with a lower price, you must pay attention to the details of the product. Work with an inclusive attitude. Higher-grade products will also have more comfort and humanized design.
2. Material. Materials are also one of the important manifestations of product prices, and are related to the texture, stability and durability of products. For example, common frame materials include steel, nylon, glass fiber, and aluminum alloy. Among them, the aluminum alloy material has high reliability and outstanding texture, and there is a certain positive correlation between the amount and quality; the common cushion forms include mesh and sponge, even if the same type The material and quality of different price points will also have great differences, which will directly affect the user experience and product life.
3. Security. For ergonomic chairs, the components involved in safety are mainly air pressure rods. There are four grades of air pressure rods, the higher the grade, the higher the safety. Don't try to choose a miscellaneous ergonomic chair for cheap, safety is difficult to guarantee. Big brand products will be matched with three or four air pressure rods that can guarantee safe use according to the price. Among them, the fourth grade has been heat-treated, the thickness of the pipe wall is thicker, and the overall safety is higher. In addition, as the price rises, the chassis of the ergonomic chair will also be upgraded from steel to aluminum alloy explosion-proof chassis, equipped with high-standard air pressure rods to fully guarantee the safety of use.
4. Adjustment ability. The adjustable parts of ergonomic chairs mainly include headrest, backrest, lumbar support, armrests, etc. As the price increases, the adjustment range, adjustment accuracy, and adjustment experience will all be improved. High-grade ergonomic chairs are easier to adjust. Realize the precise adaptation to the user's body shape and different sitting postures, and achieve the purpose of providing strong support in different scenarios.
Which ergonomic chair is more suitable for you? I think it still depends on the budget in your pocket, but I personally recommend choosing among the advanced and mid-to-high-end prices. Ergonomic chairs within 1,000 yuan are not recommended if the budget is not particularly tight. Under cost constraints, Material, workmanship, and functions will all have certain compromises. Low price does not necessarily mean long life and good experience. If the budget is raised to the advanced level, on the premise of ensuring safe use, it can basically cover the mainstream functions of ergonomic chairs, and the use experience is relatively reliable.
