Before buying a new chair, you should consider the following:
- Do you have any pre-existing health (musculoskeletal) problems, specifically related to the spine? If so, an orthopedic or a kneeling chair may be the best option for you. What is the difference between an ergonomic and orthopedic chair?
- The weight rating of the chair. Chair components are designed with a specific weight rating, for example 120 or 150kg. If you are a big & tall person, do you need a heavy-duty office chair?
- The task that you must perform. This is essential as chairs are designed for specific applications. For example, chairs that are used in a 24/7 call-centre are quite different to those used in a medical laboratory or casino, so select a chair that matches the task that you perform.
- The number of hours you sit at your workstation each day. If you spend more than 6 hours a day sitting at your desk, you should consider buying an ergonomic office chair that has more features and greater adjustability. Alternatively, if you only use the chair for an hour each day, then a less expensive chair with fewer options might be a better choice. To assist you in your choice each office chair has an ergonomic rating.
