Computer chairs come in cheap and expensive varieties. Why should you choose the more expensive one?
We often hear people say you get what you pay for, and computer chairs are no exception. There are hundreds or thousands of them on the market. So what reasons would drive people to buy a high-priced computer chair? I believe the main reason is to invest in your own health.
Computer chair types
Although computer chairs are designed for users who sit in offices and use computers, they actually come in many different types and functions.
High Back Computer Chair
A high-back computer chair can support the user's entire back, evenly distribute weight and pressure, relax the spine and relieve fatigue. The high backrest design is more suitable for users who are tall and like to rest in computer chairs. In addition, the high-back design will have adjustable backrest height and depth functions, and will usually have a headrest to provide the best support for the user.
Mid-back computer chair
Although it is a mid-back design, the back of the chair can still fit the user's back, thereby improving posture and reducing back pressure, making it more suitable for office use.
Low Back Computer Chair
The low-back computer chair has a relatively simple design and is lighter than other computer chairs. It is suitable for home use or places with limited space, and can save work space.
Mesh Computer Chair
Mesh computer chairs use mesh materials to replace traditional cloth and leather computer chairs. They are highly ventilated and breathable, making them very suitable for Hong Kong, where the weather is hot and humid. They can reduce the stuffiness caused by leaning against the chair back, and are especially suitable for users who do not want to use the air conditioner for a long time but want to stay cool.
How to choose a computer chair?
There are many kinds of computer chairs on the market, with prices ranging from a few hundred to tens of thousands of dollars. Before buying a computer chair, in addition to considering the price, the following points should not be ignored, so that you can find the computer chair that best suits your body shape and needs.
Chair Adjustability
Every user has different heights and body shapes. If you want to find a computer chair that fits you, it is best to find one with more adjustable functions. One of the most important things to consider is the height and depth of the computer chair.
Table height
If you want to know whether a table and a stool are sandwiched, you should see whether you can lower your elbows at a 90-degree angle after sitting on them. Assuming that the user is a 160cm tall female and the table height is 75cm, the seat height of the computer chair should be at least 45-50cm.
User height
If the user is tall, we generally recommend the use of a high-back ergonomic chair, because the user can lean on a larger area, the support will be higher. If you are a more meticulous user, you can consider a low-back/mid-back computer chair, like our San Petite designed specifically for women. It has a lightweight appearance and is more suitable for women to use. You don’t have to worry about the stool being too high or the seat being too big.
Usage habits
If you like to study in the office during lunch, a computer chair with a headrest will be recommended. Because training with your head resting on the pillow is definitely more comfortable than training with your body lying on the ground, and it is especially suitable for people who often suffer from back pain and pregnant women.
Use Space
If the space is relatively spacious, you can consider a computer chair with armrests and footrests. If space is limited, you can consider computer chairs with foldable armrests, half-circle armrests, and armless designs for easy storage. You can push the computer chair under the table to save a lot of space.
Computer Chair Accessories
Do you already have a comfortable computer chair, but want to upgrade and improve your computer chair experience? Then you can add the following accessories according to the situation!
Computer chair special fixed feet
Most computer chairs have movable wheels. If you don't want the computer chair to roll around, you might want to use a fixed wheel . You can purchase fixed feet instead of movable wheels to fix the computer chair in the same position.
Adjustable footrest for computer chair
Sometimes, due to work environment constraints, you may not be able to stand up and move around at any time when you are sitting too hard. But this adjustable foot pedal can help you. It has a pebble surface design, which can stimulate the nerves in the feet and help relieve foot fatigue. Moreover, the footrest can be adjusted in height and angle, so that the calf muscles will not be tense and can be in a relaxed state.
Floor protectors
If you want to protect your floor from being scratched by computer chair wheels, you can consider this PVC floor protection mat . Or if you have carpets at home and are afraid that they will get dirty easily, you can use a stand! Even if you put it on a carpet or hard floor, you can move the computer chair very steadily and smoothly. If you accidentally spill something, you can wipe it off with a wet towel.
How to maintain a computer chair?
Once you buy a computer chair that you like and you must take good care of it. Good maintenance can extend the life of the computer chair. You may wish to refer to the following methods.
Avoid direct sunlight
Computer chairs should be placed in a dark, cool and dry place to avoid direct sunlight and long-term exposure. Otherwise, it will easily fade and deteriorate.
Avoid touching with sharp objects
To prevent scratches on the surface of the computer chair, be careful not to touch the computer chair with sharp objects, especially keys and scissors.
Avoid sitting down hard
Every time you use a computer chair, you should sit down gently instead of sitting down hard to avoid excessive pressure on the computer chair and causing damage to its parts.
Clean surfaces regularly
Computer chairs are in close contact with users for a long time, so they are easy to hide dirt, which will breed bacteria over time. So it is best to clean it regularly once a month. If it is fabric material, you can use fabric sofa cleaning foam to clean it. If you have straight skin or curly hair, you can clean it with mild soap water, and then spray some Pledge to make a wax surface.
Clean the wheels regularly
The computer chair rolls left and right on the floor for a long time, which will definitely catch a lot of hair and dust. The more dust is caught, the more likely it is that the wheels will not move smoothly. So you can use pliers or toothpicks to remove the dirt regularly.
