5 BEST HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE AUTOMATIC ERGONOMIC OFFICE CHAIRS TO BRING SOME CALM AND COMFORT INTO YOUR OFFICE


Be careful, workaholics: You may think that you are productive, leaning over a desk for more than eight hours a day, but poor posture can make you suffer from serious long-term health problems. Small improvements in your workspace can help reduce daily stress on your back, neck and wrists - here are 25 ergonomic office accessories to get you closer to a stress-free workday.

At Humanscale, we believe that the highest level of functionality is achieved through simplicity. With our ergonomic chairs for the home and office, we replace heavy and complex mechanisms by the weight of the person and the laws of physics to encourage movement, thus offering the most comfortable chair.

Our long-standing partnership with legendary designer Niels Diffrient has produced our award-winning Freedom, Diffrient Smart, Diffrient World and Liberty chairs. We also collaborate with respected industrial designers such as Don Chadwick and Todd Bracher on new ergonomic seating products.

Described by the New York Times as "the gold standard for office seating," the Freedom Chair redefines the concept of traditional work chairs. The designer Niels Diffrient aimed to design a desk chair that automatically adapts to the user, allowing him to move freely from one posture to another. Diffrient's unique approach has eliminated the complexities inherent in other seats, such as heavy tilt levers and tension knobs for a truly ergonomic work chair. As a result, he has developed a tilting mechanism that perfectly adapts to the user, permanently reinventing the modern working seat so that it is really simple, functional and aesthetic.

With an innovative tilt offering constant support and a swiveling backrest that automatically adapts to the needs of the spine, the Freedom chair is exceptionally comfortable and promotes movement throughout the day. Its refined and sculpted cushions have been designed to mimic the natural contours of the body and reduce the occasional pressure loads for optimal comfort. Like all Humanscale chairs, the Freedom chair has been designed to look and function like new after years of constant use.

Evaluating Ergonomic Task Seating | Best Mesh Task Chairs with Arms

Evaluating Ergonomic Task Seating


For most ergonomists and health and safety officers, a well-designed work chair is considered one of the most important components of an ergonomic workstation
But, with so many types of work chairs available today, how should you make an informed decision when it comes time to make a purchase? 
What types of adjustments are essential to maintaining the health and comfort of computer users? This is one of the most frequently asked questions by the managers of today's institutions regarding the assessment of the division of labour.
17_humanscale_liberty_1.jpg

To begin, consider the functional objectives of a work chair. First, a well-designed chair should be adaptable enough to accommodate at least 90% of the workforce (the chair should be a fifth percentile woman versus a 95th percentile male). 
The adjustable height, seat depth, backrest height / lumbar support and armrest height seats make it possible to satisfy most users if they fit within the recommended adjustment ranges (see box). 
Adjustments that go beyond those mentioned often complicate the operation of the chair and have received little or no validation from the point of view of ergonomics.

Then, a chair should promote the movement of the spine. Fixed and straight postures, however optimal, will generate static muscle contractions and subsequent discomfort. 
Spinal discs do not have a direct blood supply and are fed by osmosis, a process that is best facilitated by movement. It is therefore essential that the record allows a person to move freely in a range of supported postures. 
This concept is often called "dynamic sitting". Voltage control knobs and hard-to-adjust backrest locks impede movement and can complicate ergonomic chair operation. 
Today's new seats feature self-adjusting tilt mechanisms that automatically adjust the backrest tension based on body weight. This technology greatly simplifies chair operation while maintaining the health and comfort of the user's spine.

Third, a well-designed chair must be intuitive to use. The armchairs of the '80s and' 90s became so complicated to adjust that few users could correctly identify a single setting. 
A 1995 study conducted by Martin Helander, a renowned ergonomics professor at Singapore's Nanyang Technological University, found that less than 2% of the surveyed population was able to correctly identify the purpose of the voltage adjustment knob. 
All adjustments must be possible when the user is seated in his chair. The controls should be close at hand and should never require excessive force.

The biggest mistake that facility managers typically make when evaluating the division of labour is to allow employees to make decisions based on short-term use. Decisions, in this case, are more likely to be made on the basis of the aesthetics of the chair rather than the comfort of the chair. Workers should be able to compare each chair over several days.

The New York-based Cornell University Ergonomics Assessment Form, developed by Professor Alan Hedge, Director of Cornell's Human Factors and Ergonomics Research Laboratory, is designed to help workers to make objective and informed headquarters decisions.
