How Ergonomic Office Chairs Promote Good Posture

If you don’t look after our own body, you will indeed suffer. Unfortunately, it could be that you haven’t been looking after your body for quite some time before the signs of your misdeeds show up. In today’s heavily computerised world, workers spend a lot of time sitting down, bending over desks, clicking at keyboards and slouching. It’s now time to think of putting the situation right! Let’s look at a few of the ‘unhealthy’ conditions that could build up after a while. If you know what could happen, maybe you’ll realise that prevention is better than cure.

There’s a bad back, a painful neck and shoulders and there’s RSI, that repetitive strain injury that comes from making the same hand movements regularly and over a long period of time. I’m going to call these the ‘more obvious’ problems.

But then there are other conditions that you might not realise can come from slouching or any other shape of bad posture. There’s vertigo, which can come from you not holding your head at an eye-to-monitor horizontal angle. Looking high or looking low can cause problems with the neck which, unlike ordinary neck ache, can bring on a lack of balance, a drunken-like disorientation and extreme sickness.

There’s also a chance of stomach problems and organ disorders, as slouching means that your stomach and organs are fighting for space in your reduced torso and crushing your life equipment for several hours a day isn’t going to extend your years, is it?

Need I go on?

Okay, so supporting your body, getting your shoulders up there where they should be, giving your lower back a comfortable hug with the support elements of a good ergonomic office chair, adjusting the chair height and also adjusting the tilt of both the seat pad and chair back to make sure your thighs are fully supported and your feet happily touch the floor, now all makes sense, doesn’t it?

But let’s not forget your arms and hands. A good ergonomic office chair will offer all-singing and all-dancing armrests which, with three way adjustments (back and forward, up and down and also in and out), will make sure there is no pressure on your shoulder or upper arm and that your lower arm and hand glide towards that all-important keyboard, ready to tap away the day.

If it was up to you to go and find the right ergonomic office chair, you might flounder, as you haven’t built up any experience in finding the right chair. Hopefully, if you first chair is the right one, you won’t be building up any of that aforementioned experience either, as your chair should last a very long time!

The chairs to look at are the Ergohuman, the Ergohuman Plus, Nefil, Enjoy and the Mirus. Each comes in the ever popular mesh upholstery and in a range of off-the-beaten track colours. If you’re going to sit in a chair for eight hours a day, taking into consideration of course that you should give your eyes a rest from that computer screen several times during your working hours, the breathable mesh fabric will help you stay fresh and cool and the colour, well, the colour makes you feel good and personalises that five wheeled-vehicle which, as you work, will be riding with all your twists and turns.

Ergohuman – from Manufacture to Delivery

References are so important, aren’t they? Okay, they’re essential when applying for a job but they’re also important for many other needs.
In this moment, I’m talking chairs. Not just any chair but ergonomic office chairs. Technology in tandem with ergonomics have now produced many wonders in the office chair market but this doesn’t mean that every one of those chairs is going to be suitable for you. After all, we’re different shapes and sizes, different jobs demand different things from our personal frame and build and then there’s the other point of attraction. Yes, the ergonomic office chairs of today can be ‘very becoming (mine’s the Ergohuman Mirus)’ and so that ‘eye candy’ which normally applies to spotting good lookers might also apply to other items too. If the chair gives you that personal buzz, joining forces with it every day gives you a personal satisfaction and getting your head round the complexities of work feel naturally comfortable.

If I was ready to buy another ergonomic office chair, I would look for a supplier who could provide me with genuine references from purchasers of the models in which I was registering a personal interest. ‘Great’ may do little for me but to hear that a chair is a great piece of kit, that the user’s back clicked into place when using the chair correctly, or maybe even that someone is now feeling all-round benefits in both work and home life would make me look more into that particular office chair. I’d also be interested in feedback on the supplier and subsequent delivery time, a bit like those yellow stars you see against the details of well-seasoned Ebay sellers, telling you that they regularly come up with the goods and services expected when buying from strangers.
Me? I’d probably choose another Ergohuman Mirus, once again with mesh upholstery. Now that I know this chair and its adjustments can meet my personal needs, I might look at other chairs in the Ergohuman range e.g. the Nefil and the Ergohuman Plus, as this company, the supplier service and the delivery time, have already been proven to me. If I change anything, it would be the colour, as there’s a fantastic range to choose from.

I don’t need a new Mirus chair yet, as the Ergohuman range of chairs are very sustainable but I am going to treat myself to a footrest or a Office Chair with an intergrated Leg Rest, wow. Serving also as a leg rest when my chair is in a reclined position, this little added extra is going to heighten my pleasure during those laid back hours.
That’s me sorted … .

Mirus Office Chair

The Ergohuman range of office chairs are stunning and, although they are similar but different, you’ll be hard-pushed to choose the one for you. The Mirus is the latest addition and, like many of the other designs, it also boasts the single-lever control, which allows you to adjust the three popular features of seat height, seat depth and back tilt.

The seat height makes the seat available to short, medium and tall users, getting the seat pad in position to allow your feet to touch the floor comfortably. The seat depth complements the seat back’s purpose of addressing height, in that it allows you to make sure that your thighs are fully supported and your knees fold comfortably at the seat pad end. Like in a car, the seat tilt is about feeling right and getting your arms and hands to meet the working area (keyboard or desk as opposed to the steering wheel) at the most effective distance.

The multi-directional neck-roll gets the support just where you need it, as is the case with the 3D lumbar support facility. The seat slide manoeuvre adds the finishing touches.

The Mirus Office Chair is one of the Ergohuman range of office chairs that offer a zero-pressure seat cushion, with the purpose of distributing weight evenly and making sitting feel like a luxurious experience, rather than being simply to take the weight off your feet.

When choosing the frame, you can opt for either black or white with aluminium, or all-black, complemented by the all-aluminium base and five black castors.

Three of the nine models come with a 3D headrest and, in a choice of either fabric or mesh which both come in a range of colours, you really will be hard-pushed for choice.

The Mirus Office Chair is 98 percent recyclable and really does deserve your attention, before making your mind up about which Ergohuman ergonomic chair should be the one to serve your personal needs.
