Why are ergonomic chairs so popular among office workers?
In recent years, ergonomic chairs have been favored by professionals. The reason is that ergonomic chairs can provide comfort and lumbar support that ordinary chairs do not have when they are working, not only can relieve the fatigue caused by long-term sitting work It can also protect the human spine to a certain extent.
Take the backrest of an ergonomic chair as an example. The special shape of the backrest (similar to the S shape) can help us reduce the pressure and discomfort of the waist, and there is a process of slowing down the damage to the lumbar spine when sitting for a long time. In addition, the back of the ergonomic chair is adjustable, and it can be tilted back up to 150°. Most professionals have the habit of taking a lunch break. If you have an ergonomic chair, you can also use it as a lunch break chair directly. Use, one chair is multi-purpose.
Let's talk about the cushion part of the ergonomic chair. Ordinary chairs are either made of solid wood or PU material, which greatly reduces the breathability and comfort. The cushions of ergonomic chairs have different materials, air permeability, shapes, and degrees of softness and hardness, which can meet the needs of different groups.
1. Protect the spine
Ergonomic chairs are called ergonomic chairs because they are designed with a lot of anthropometric data in mind.
2. Correct sitting posture
There are two reasons for incorrect sitting posture: one is bad habits, and the other is the mismatch between the proportion of desks and chairs and height. Studies have shown that when the human body sits upright, the body is perpendicular to the seat surface, and the spine maintains the best S-shape. In this posture, the Qi and blood meridians remain unobstructed, which is the best sitting posture. So how does the ergonomic chair correct the sitting posture? The first is the bionic S-shaped backrest, which can help support the back and keep the body in a normal curvature. Secondly, the height of the ergonomic seat is adjustable. When the table height and height are fixed, the height of the seat can be adjusted to match the height of the desktop and the human body. If these two conditions are met, the root cause of poor sitting posture can basically be cut off.
3. Relieve fatigue
When sitting for a long time, these parts of the body generally feel the pressure first: shoulders, neck, arms, waist, buttocks and thighs. A good ergonomic chair is designed with special consideration from the headrest to the armrests to the seat cushion. The headrest can help support the weight of the head and share the pressure on the shoulder and neck; the backrest can help support the waist and relieve the stress on the spine; the armrests are generally adjustable, and the height of the armrests can be adjusted according to the height of the desktop, so that the arms will It will be suspended in the air, but with support, it can also indirectly reduce the pressure on the shoulders. Finally, the cushion of a chair bears most of the weight of the human body. Those world-renowned ergonomic chair brands have spent a lot of thought and design on the cushion, in order to disperse the pressure between the cushion and the buttocks/thighs . The cushion designs of general ergonomic chairs are waterfall-shaped, saddle-shaped, and streamlined. These designs have obvious effects on alleviating the fatigue of sitting for a long time.
4. Rich functions
Ergonomic chairs collect a large amount of human body data at the beginning of design, and the adjustment of each function is to adapt to more people to the greatest extent. There are differences in height, weight, and body shape between people. Ordinary chairs can adapt to individual people, but they cannot adapt to thousands of people. The emergence of ergonomic chairs has broken this situation. It can adapt to the height and body shape of the public through the adjustment of various parts, achieving the effect of "tailor-made".
5. Improve work/study efficiency
The comfort of the seat is directly proportional to the work/efficiency. A good chair can make your body in the most comfortable state. In this state, your attention can be kept concentrated to the greatest extent, and the work/study efficiency is natural. will also rise. In addition, the comfortable ergonomic seat can also allow you to get a better rest and release pressure after work/study, greatly improving the task completion rate.
I hope that everyone can become a wealthy and healthy professional worker. Finally, I would like to give you a suggestion: Although young people should work hard for their dreams, they should not forget to take care of their bodies while fighting hard.
