Which sponge is better for office chair filling？
Office workers spend 8 hours a day in the office, and nearly one-third of the time sits on office chairs, including the rest of their lives. Buying a comfortable office chair can not only improve employee productivity, but also reduce fatigue at work and stress. So what makes an office chair comfortable?
Whether the office chair cushion is comfortable or not has a lot to do with its cushion, and the cushion lining is the key part to determine the comfort. At present, in the office furniture market, there are three types of sponges filled with office chair cushions: ordinary sponges (our common yellow sponges), recycled cotton, and shaped cotton.
These three types of sponges have different properties and feel, so the prices are also different. If we evaluate their quality from the three aspects of comfort, durability and environmental protection, the styling sponge must be above the ordinary sponge. The following will take you to understand the specific material descriptions of these three sponges.
In medicine, people are usually advised not to sleep on a bed that is too soft. Why? Isn't it more comfortable when it's soft? A soft bed can provide temporary comfort, but it is not conducive to relieving fatigue, and the more you sleep, the more tired you feel. I believe many people have experienced this. This is because the body is too soft to find a reliable focus, so the lack of effective gravity evacuation will cause fatigue. In addition to affecting the spine and lumbar intervertebral discs, people who sleep softly all year round are more likely to suffer from diseases such as lumbar disc herniation.
The cushion of the office chair is the same as the cushion of the bed. The seat cushion is too soft and you will feel tired after sitting for a long time. The hip area reduces the stress transmitted to the upper body. On the contrary, they are all concentrated in the waist, which will make people involuntarily form the habit of bending over, and lumbar disc herniation is induced in this case. Then some people will think that since this is the case, it is good to sit on a hard stool. Hard stools are good for short periods of sitting. If you have to sit in the office all day, that’s not good, because the hard board is not conducive to the blood circulation of the buttocks, and sitting for a long time will affect the curve of the body, especially for women. From this we can know that the healthiest office chair cushion should be the kind with moderate hardness.
Shaped cotton
The sponge is made of polyurethane and processed through multiple processes. The biggest feature of the sponge is that its density can be adjusted as needed. If it is used on the cushion, then the office furniture manufacturer can choose according to the healthiest density to ensure that the seat is comfortable and does not affect health.
recycled cotton
What is recycled cotton? It means recycling. Regenerated cotton is a sponge made from waste generated during the production of sponge cotton. It can save a lot of production costs for enterprises. Of course, this kind of recycled cotton also has the characteristics of elasticity and resilience of sponge, but the industrial waste selected for recycled cotton has strict requirements, and the processing requirements are also very strict. They rarely meet the normal standards in the market, and the instability is too high.
Ordinary sponge
Ordinary sponges are the kind of light yellow sponges we often see. They can be found in various places. Seats, office sofas, tablecloths, mattresses, etc. It can be said that they have the lowest threshold for use, and are very soft and generally elastic. If you use them as office chairs, the price must be very cheap. If you don’t pursue health and comfort, you can choose them.
On the whole, shaped cotton is the most stable, healthy and comfortable sponge, and it is also the best choice as the filling of office chairs. Of course, its price will be much higher than other office chairs filled with sponges.
