How to buy a cheap ergonomic chair

When selecting an ergonomic chair you must sit down and try all the adjustments and functions. This is the main advice in selecting the chairs and stools. The correct choice of the ergonomic chair is the main factor in the maintaining high efficiency and health for many years.

Let’s  formulate a minimal set of requirements for cheap, but best ergonomic chairs:

  • presence of plastic armrests and five-way support with easy spinning wheels;
  • possibility of using of one hand and without getting up from the chair to change the height of the seat and reclining of back . All adjustments should be easy and pleasant so it is the only way you train yourself to adjust the chair for yours figure, and not vice versa;
  • the mechanism of the height adjusting must include the shock-absorber, softening the sharp change in the load on the spine when you are lowering on the seat;
  • ergonomic back shape (lumbar roll under bending). This can be achieved by the form of a chair frame, and thickening of upholstery;
  • thick layer of high elasticity foam with peripheral bulges (to facilitate fixing the vertical position) and a soft rounded front edge of the seat (allowing to avoid the systematic compression of blood vessels in the legs);
  • safe material upholstery on “working” surfaces of the seat and backrest (thick cloth, leather, special “breathing” type of furniture fabric), avoiding overheating and cooling in all weather and humidity. For the bottom and rear surfaces it is acceptable to use the plastic or leatherette.
