The right ergonomic office chair for your office or home will ensure comfort and high efficiency throughout the working day. And, most importantly, the right chair will help you avoid many of the health problems directly related to prolonged sedentary work in the long term! Here we have summarised the 7 most important aspects to consider when choosing the right office chair for you. Fit the chair to you, not you to the chair!

1. Adjustable height.

The chair must have an adjustable seat height to ensure that the feet are fully supported on the floor and the knees are at an angle of approximately 90 degrees. The height adjustment function is available on all office chairs in the LinERGO range.

2. Backrest adjustment. Reclining angle and height.

The chair shall be able to adjust the reclining angle of the backrest to allow a more comfortable sitting posture or to change sitting posture during the working day. This function shall be available on all chairs in the LinERGO range.

3. Lumbar Support Adjustment Function (Lumbar Back Curvature Support Adjustment).

The lumbar support adjustment function is very important to provide lumbar curvature support, to prevent discomfort and spinal deformity in perspective. All LinERGO ergonomic chairs are equipped with a lumbar support adjustment system that allows you to adjust the chair to your back, maintain correct posture and prevent spinal deformity. LinERGO chair Nero Ergo has a particularly wide range of lumbar support adjustment.

  • Height and angle adjustable armrests (chairs Wau Ergo SWau Ergo L).

Head support is important to provide extra comfort to the neck and head, reducing tension and preventing neck, neck and shoulder pain. The LinERGO range includes several models with headrest adjustments in several directions.

  • Head support with height adjustment (chairs Ergo mottoNero ErgoApollo Top ErgoWau Ergo SWau Ergo L)
  • Headrest with height and angle adjustments (chairs Queen ErgoOslo Ergo)

The headrest adjustment allows you to tailor the chair to your individual needs and helps you maintain the correct head position, which is especially important for long periods of work.

7. Material and Fabric Quality. 

Many people are afraid to buy a chair made of plastic. The main arguments are lack of durability and the sustainability of the chair. However, modern technology allows plastics to have physico-mechanical properties comparable to metal and, in many cases, to be a better material than metal.

  • Chairs made of plastic are much more attractive, more varied in shape and design.
  • Reinforced details allow to withstand long-lasting heavy loads.
  • The weight of the chair is reduced and so is its cost.
  • The UV resistance of the material ensures the durability of the chair.
  • The material's anti-static formulation repels dust and ensures a spotlessly clean appearance.

The quality of the seat padding and fabric is also important. The fabric must be breathable, flexible, abrasion-resistant and easy to care for. The seat padding of the chair must be sufficiently dense, elastic and durable to prevent it from collapsing with prolonged use. The seat cushion of all LinERGO chairs shall be made of cast “long life” material. The fabric of all chairs is hard-wearing and easy to care for.

By taking these seven key aspects into account when choosing an office chair, you're sure to find the right one that will provide maximum comfort, improve your efficiency and look after your health. 

The right chair, tailor-made for you, is an investment in your efficiency and health! Fit the chair to you, not you to the chair!
