Criterias of choice

Of course, first of all, the need for special chairs arises for office workers, but today there are PCs in almost every home, and many continue to work at home after the office. Therefore, the choice of furniture is now relevant not only for designers who equip office space, but also for ordinary users. Consider the important criteria that you should pay attention to when choosing a chair.

Number of users

This criterion implies how many people will use one PC, respectively - one chair. So, if there are more than one users, the furniture should be able to adjust to the parameters of the seated.

Time

This refers to the time spent working on the computer:

• For users who work at the computer no more than two hours a day - there is no need for special furniture. An ordinary chair is enough. Of course, you can get tired after two hours of sitting, but this will not affect your health in any way.
• In other cases, you should look at special options. When working up to five hours a day - you can think about buying good furniture.

It will be important to look after the product with the ability to adjust:

• seat heights;
• depths;
• backrest tilt;
• the height of the back.

It is better that the back is orthopedic. It should fit well to the back, and repeat the natural curvature of the spine.

Important! When working at a computer for more than five hours, it is important to ensure maximum comfort for the user. Such models are equipped with the ability to adapt to the position of the body, may additionally have head restraints and footrests.

There are even options that allow you to work with support on your knees, in an upright position.

Kinds

Of course, in modern conditions, manufacturers are constantly striving to surprise us with something. There are a great many species today, and they differ both in design and upholstery, and in their design and additional features. Consider the most famous types to reveal the best computer chairs.

Leather armchairs

This is the type of seats designed to emphasize the status of the owner. Usually they are purchased for use in executive offices, or for home, in separate work rooms.

Important! When choosing this option, you should remember about the interior of the room. In small work areas, such a chair will look superfluous.

Orthopedic models

This is furniture with a synchronous mechanism, which adapts to any change in the body. When choosing these options, pay attention to:

• headrest that relieves cervical stress;
• foot rests;
• the ability to place PC peripherals on the armchair - mice and keyboards.

Perhaps this is the best chair for the computer, if you spend a lot of time behind it.

Design solutions

If you do not spend a large amount of time working at a computer, then there is no point in choosing an expensive orthopedic model. You can make your interior special with unusual furniture. Pay attention to bright upholstery or unusual designs. Perhaps your choice will fall on the option without the ability to move around the floor or rotate, but the design will please with a pleasant appearance.

Child seats

Of course, any parent is against the long stay of the child at the computer. But for parents of schoolchildren, a moment necessarily comes when the child begins to spend more time on the PC than usual. And of course, for the child you need to choose the best chair for working at the computer.

It is important here:

• The chair must have height adjustment - then you can change it as the child grows up.
• When working at a computer, the child’s feet should be on the floor or on a special stand.

Important! When choosing, you are guided by the opinion of the little man: it is unlikely that girls will appreciate a chair with a picture from Transformers, and the boys will not be delighted with furniture in the Barbie style.

Next, we will deal with what details should be paid special attention when choosing a chair.

Details

Choosing a chair to work at the computer, you take care of your health. Therefore, the choice must be taken carefully. Of course, the design and construction can be any, but there are some points that will allow your furniture to take care of the condition of the spine and the body as a whole. First, let's talk about the back of the chair.

Back

The state of your spine and posture will depend on how well the back of the chair is made.

Important! It should be noted right away that the cost of products supporting the back is more expensive. But you do not overpay for a chair, but only get the opportunity not to get a serious illness, because trips to orthopedists are not an expensive pleasure today.

In order to choose a chair with the correct back:

• Pay attention to whether there is a protrusion under the lower back in the form of a semicircle on the chair. It helps prevent scoliosis and other diseases of the spine.
• For home use, the height of the back to the shoulder blades is suitable, because at home you can always get up, relax and warm up.
• For long work without the possibility of rest - get a model with a headrest.

Headrests

Not every model has head restraints, but if you spend a long time at the computer, then neck support is necessary. In addition, the headrest will allow you to keep your neck straight, and will not allow the cervical spine to bend.

Height

When working at a computer with several people or for a baby chair, it is very important that it can be adjusted in height. Then a user of any height will have the opportunity to put his feet correctly.

Today, most models allow you to adjust the height without getting up from a chair.

With proper adjustment, all the bends of the legs form right angles. Feet should not hang, but should stand flat on the floor.

Oddly enough, the upholstery of the chair plays an important role.

Upholstery

The material must be wear resistant. Then you do not have to change furniture with quality assembly, but full of holes. To avoid discomfort during long work in a sitting position:

• Buy products upholstered in natural materials.
• It is important that the upholstery material absorbs moisture and is well ventilated. This will not adhere to the back and seat of the chair, even in hot weather.
• If we talk about the density of the packing - for comfortable work, options of medium softness are preferable.

Important! If you feel uncomfortable while working on a chair, do not hesitate. The chair needs to be changed.

Of course, the answer to the question which computer chair is better is very individual, but without concrete examples it is very difficult to make a choice.

Useful Tips

Of course, only you will have to decide on the purchase of comfortable furniture. But in the end, we’ll give some more tips on how to choose a chair for working at the computer:

1. You should sit on the chair, leaning on the back with the entire surface of the back. Then the load will be distributed as evenly as possible. So that the back fits perfectly, you need to pay attention to the depth of the seat, as well as whether it can be changed.
2. The model should be stable and not overturn when moving. So that the wheels do not leave scratches on the coating, choose rubberized options.
3. To reduce the load on the shoulders, it is important not only to purchase a model with armrests, but also to be able to customize them to fit your parameters.
