Here’s why you should upgrade the chairs in your workplace or educational institution as soon as possible: Ergonomic chairs are no longer a luxury item, but a necessity for an employee or students overall health and wellbeing. Ideally, you should be able to sit with both feet flat on the floor, your knees and hips parallel, and minimal pressure at the back of the thighs for optimum posture support.Įrgonomic seating can help to vastly reduce the stress placed on your body by providing proper support and improved comfort. While many people believe it’s normal to complain of aches and pains after a long day sitting at their desk, having the wrong chair, or a poorly set up desk is often the culprit! Sitting down actually places a great deal of strain and pressure on the body, and can lead to a number of serious health complications including heart disease, diabetes and deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The average office worker or student can spend up to 8 hours a day sitting at their desk.
