Seating furniture

Everything that a good office chair should be able to do

The five-arm base provided with so-called slides or, more frequently, travel wheels whose materials correspond to the floor type, best ensures the required chair stability. The central spring damps the downward motion and other vertical motions of the body, so that it is considerate to the back and spinal disk. The seat corresponds to the anatomy of the human body - it should be sufficiently wide and deep and height-adjustable. More expensive chairs sometimes allow for variable depth setting, i.e. a more perfect adaptation to the individual constitution.

The seat back corresponds to the curve of the backbone. The height adjustment of the entire seat back or of the backbone area should make it possible to adapt the seat to the individual bodily constitution. The possibility of an adjustment in the forward-backward direction, which ensures good support of the body, is also important. The mount of the so-called synchronous mechanism is a great advantage; it enables automatic adaptation of the seat back to the bodily motion. The corresponding strength of the permanent counter-pressure on the back can be adjusted or the seat back can be locked in a certain position. The armrests should be height-adjustable. The possibility of their side deflection is also significant; you will appreciate this option after working for a long time with a computer mouse.

When deciding what chair to buy, we should also take into account the environment in which the chair will be used and how frequently it will be used. Generally, the chair upholstering and cover must have the corresponding physical properties, which means that they must be permeable, have the ability to remove moisture and heat, should be durable and washable.
