Understanding home chair ergonomics

Before you investigate chairs by style or comfort level, you need to make sure a chair is ergonomically friendly. Ergonomics is simply the science of furniture design. While the term is typically used to describe how you should use chairs in the workplace, it can also apply to anyone that works from home, sits in front of the computer for long periods of time, or has other health problems that you don’t want to exacerbate.

The basic concept behind ergonomics is to keep your body in alignment when seated to avoid pain. Most chairs allow you to adjust the height and depth in order to support all body types. In addition, most chair manufacturers will attach a short booklet underneath the chair set that addresses ergonomics and how to adjust your chair to your specifications.

Once you understand how ergonomics works, you’ll be able to purchase chairs for your home that provide support for your back, knees, legs, arms, and even your eyes. Read more about proper ergonomics for your home or office.

Home chair features

In addition to a strong frame and quality mechanics, the right chairs for your home should include certain features that allow you to sit comfortably and do the work you need to for years to come. These features include:

• Back support – Chairs should provide a supportive fit for the curvature of the user’s lower back to prevent slouching. This may include an adjustable backrest that you can set to your comfort level.
• Seat height adjustment – Different parts of the chair that you can adjust to your comfort level to improve posture and prevent back and neck pain.
• Seat depth and width – Chairs should be wide enough to support any body type and deep enough so they can settle into the backrest.
• Cushioned seats – A chair seat should be well-cushioned to evenly distribute your weight and contour to your body frame.
• Armrests – Typically an optional feature that allows you to support your forearms and elbows while typing, you can choose from standard armrests, padded armrests for additional comfort, and fold-away armrests to keep them out of the way when not in use.
• Swivel mechanism – Move side to side in the chair or easily reach across the desk with minimal effort.
• Seat tilt – Relieve pressure on the spine by letting your chair slope. You can lock the chair in a comfortable position to curve to your lower back and help prevent slouching.
• Material considerations – Chairs with extra padding can help absorb natural body heat and make the user more comfortable.

Home chair pricing
Retail superstores and online resellers are great sources for inexpensive chairs. You can get a pre-assembled or assembly required chair for $25 to $75. That price goes up as you request premium materials or additional features.

For higher-quality chairs that will last you 5, 10, or 15 years, expect to pay $200 to $500 depending on the materials and the type of chair.

Before you purchase any chair for your home, make sure to try it out first. Check that all levers work properly and that you’ll be comfortable sitting in it whether you’re paying bills, doing work, or just watching TV.

Finally, make sure the chair comes with a warranty that protects you from significant damage and defects.
