As society develops and people work longer hours, sitting for long periods of time is becoming more and more common. We spend close to 8-10 hours a day at our desks. Sitting for long periods of time puts stress on the spine, which in the long run will cause irreversible damage to our health. Ergonomic seating has adjustable elements that adapt to your natural body position, thus reducing the harmful effects of prolonged sitting.

Ergonomics is a science that studies the interaction between human and machine as well as the environment, and how to consider work efficiency and human health, safety and comfort in work and life.

Ergonomic seating conditions: fully adjustable mechanism

1.     The mechanism of ergonomic seating controls the height and depth of the seat

According to different human height, ergonomic seating can adjust the height of the seat by driving the gas through the mechanism. The user’s feet are naturally lowered vertically so that they are parallel to the floor, avoiding crossing their legs, which allows for more smooth blood circulation.

2.     Ergonomic seating can adjust the angle of reclining

The mechanism of ergonomic seating has a function that makes the backrest drive the seat to recline. Not only the leisure function can be used in relax time, but also the backward tilt angle can be fixed. This feature allows work and rest without delay.

3.   Lumbar support can be adjusted according to the shape of human spine

The spine of human body is in the shape of “S”. Even if the overall shape of the ergonomic seating is designed in accordance with the “S” type, some tiny support points of the waist still fail to be supported completely. The adjustable waist support allows the user to align the curve of ergonomic seating with curve of the spine for optimal support.

4.     Ergonomic seating has an adjustable headrest that supports neck

In the case of siting for a long time, the part of human body above the shoulder will be in a suspended state. The adjustable headrest could support neck according to different height of human body, so that the shoulder and neck pain caused because of sitting for a long time can be avoided.

An adjustable headrest reminds users to keep an arm’s length from the screen at all times.

5.     Ergonomic seating has comfortable surface

In addition to the adjustable mechanism of ergonomic seating, the tactile sensation of the seating surface is also the key factor that makes people feel comfortable after a day’s work. The interior of the cushion is made of highly resilient sponge and the back of mesh is made of breathable material that reduces heat which makes ergonomic seating become a perfect tool for working space.

6.     It will have adjustable handrails

In order to make the user’s hands parallel to the floor which is the most comfortable position in the natural state, the armrests of ergonomic seatingcan be adjusted in different positions.

To sum up, ergonomic seating has adjustable mechanisms to adapt to different body types of users. The longer the user uses the chair for work and life, the more adjustable options for ergonomic seating will be considered. If you buy ergonomic seating for family members or for yourself, you should consider whether the size of your body is appropriate.
