Having an ergonomic chair is important but many of us do not spend the extra money on a good chair even though one in four US adults spends more than 8 hours a day sitting, according to a new study by the US CDC and Prevention. A good ergonomic chair provides many benefits and is essential for pain management and productivity. OSHA explains that a good chair provides the necessary support to the lower body and arms in reducing stressful positions that can affect the body. With a wide range of chairs available, while they may look nice, not all are ergonomic and offer the support you need so it is important to do a little research and test the chair out if possible. Everyone has different support needs, so it is best not to consider a one-size-fits-all approach when purchasing a chair. Many well-developed companies spent the time in research and development to help create an optimal ergonomic chair that promotes a productive workplace; such as adjustable arm pads, lumbar support, seat adjustment a good seat foundation and much more. Before purchasing any chair, consider the long term benefits you will receive from a good ergonomic chair.
