Ergohuman

I already have my office chair but, if you need to buy one for yourself, I would suggest that you look no further than the Ergohuman chair range. I have the enjoy office chair, though my colleague swears by the Enjoy office chair model but it really depends on what you’re looking for. One of the points that should affect your decision is your body frame but the nature of your job is also important. What I mean by that second consideration is do you sit down all day long or are you always up and down, does the job involve a lot of twisting (maybe your filing cabinets are right next to you and you don’t have to actually leave your seat to put something away).

For me, the seat tilt and slide and the backrest tilt mean that I can get my back and my bottom to fit comfortably into the Nefil office chair, so that I am actually using its magnificent features to support the whole of my back. That means that I am making use of the lumbar support that the chair back gives. My girlfriend likes the Enjoy office chair, as it has autoflex zones in the lumbar support feature and this does it for her.All of the Ergohuman chair models are to die for, as a lot of thinking has gone into their design. They all have many features and adjustments and I suppose the most noticeable difference is the look of the chair. I just love the simple look and the ergohuman’s chair back from the rear reminds me of the old-style beer bottle opener.

The chair looks good and makes me feel good. With its ribbed look back support, the Enjoy appeals to my friend and that’s fine.One thing we both agreed on was the choice of fabric. Though the leather is very nice, we much preferred the airiness of the mesh. It’s easy to wipe clean and is a chair that breathes, if you know what I mean.I’m really pleased that I was guided towards the Ergohuman range of chairs. It was sound advice and that’s why I am passing the same information on. There’s an interesting range of colours to choose from as well. And as regards to that sound advice … don’t forget to pass it on.

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 and the Mirus Office Chair. 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 personalizes that five wheeled-vehicle which, as you work, will be riding with all your twists and turns.
