Sitting in an office chair for eight hours a
day can cause severe health issues, such as circulatory problems and back pain,
especially in the lower back area, therefore choosing the office chair
carefully is essential for maintaining overall health. Here are the features
available with office chairs that prevent lower back problems:
- Lumbar support – modern, ergonomic office chairs come with special cushioning for the lower spine area and with backs that follow the line of the spine up to the neck to relieve the muscles from as much tension as possible, for taller people look for big and tall office chairs that provides lumbar support;
- Adjustable features – to make sure that your office chair is comfortable, choose a chair that is height-adjustable and that also comes with adjustable arm rests and an adjustable head rest;
- Breathable materials – there is nothing more uncomfortable than having to sit on a material that does not channel away body heat and makes you sweat. Choose chairs that have breathable textile upholstery or mesh material that prevents sweating.
Choosing the right office chair is essential
for your spinal health, but it is also essential to get up every 2 hours and do
some bending and stretching to get your circulation going and to relax your
muscles.
