Do you know why ergonomic chairs are so expensive？
There are many reasons why ergonomic chairs are more expensive than ordinary chairs.
1. Research and development: Ordinary cheap chairs often do not need to invest too much manpower and material resources to develop and design due to their relatively single structural frame, which reduces the investment of manpower and material resources, but a high-quality ergonomic chair may go through several times. Years of design and research, these manpower and material resources will be on the final price of the product.
2. In terms of materials for workmanship: The workmanship of ergonomic chairs is very different from that of ordinary chairs. Ordinary chairs have a single frame structure. After a long time, there will basically be problems such as shaking of chair legs and noise. The workmanship of ergonomic chairs is common. It is much better than cheap and inferior chairs, the design is relatively complicated, and the frame is relatively stable and durable. The materials used for chairs at different prices are also different. Most of the cheap chairs on the market use fibers or cheap fabrics. Made of materials, and some stitches are very few, and then there is the padding of the seat cushion, and the cheap ones have almost no padding.
3. Durability: The use of cheap office chairs is greatly shortened due to the use of materials that are not strong enough. In addition, people work on the chair for about half an hour a day. Wear and tear, especially the seat cushion, may be a flat ground with no elasticity in a few months. Because the structure is too simple, the problem of shaking will soon occur. A high-quality ergonomic chair will be relatively expensive. But it is durable and has a longer service life, and it is not a problem for medium and high-end chairs to be used for 8-15 years!
4. Adjustability: The biggest essential difference between ergonomic chairs and ordinary chairs is that they can be adjusted according to the various needs of users in different scenarios. The adjustable options include: seat height, backrest, headrest, armrest, angle, etc. And so on, and then provide the body with an optimal state of comfort.
Looking back, why are some people willing to spend tens of thousands or even more to buy a high-quality ergonomic office chair, which is like the difference between a luxury car and a cheap car, the price is expensive. The truth is, the sense of use is completely different.
In fact, a good quality ergonomic chair is not expensive:
1. Good quality chairs have a relatively long service life, generally around 5-10 years. It may feel expensive in the early stage, but it is not so expensive if it is calculated on an average of 5-10 years.
2. It is also the most important point. As an object that accompanies us for about 8 hours a day, a good chair can provide a great guarantee for our health and save a lot of medical expenses in a year (because the poor quality chair plus I have been sitting for a long time, and I have been to the hospital several times), not to mention improving work efficiency, but at least it can alleviate the physical pain of sedentary office workers. I think it is not expensive to invest more in your own health.
