Fabric Office Chairs – Product Information Guide

It might seem like a simple purchase, but when you spend around 8 hours a day and the equivalent of 5 years of your life sitting at a desk, taking the time to choose the right office chairs is important for your staff and your business.

The right chair can improve mood, productivity and the general wellbeing of your employees.

How to choose the right chair?

Before you commit to buying a chair or fitting out your office there are a few things to consider.

Price

Where price shouldn't be the first and only consideration it is one that falls to the top of the list. Opting for the cheapest chairs won't always save you money, they'll need to be replaced more frequently and poor design could impact employee performance.

Spending a little more on something robust, adjustable ∓ comfortable will benefit you long term.

Ergonomics

Making sure the chairs you purchase can easily be adjusted to suit the individual is important. No two employees are the same and they will need the flexibility to adjust chairs to suit them.

Ergonomics may sound daunting to some, but in reality you don't need to purchase an extravagant chair. The main features to look for are:

Can you adjust the height, back & seat tilt
Does the chair swivel 360 degrees
Are the armrests adjustable
Is the chair on castors or fixed
Do you need additional back, head or neck support

The size and layout of your office and workspace will obviously impact the size of the chairs you can buy. Most standard office desks have a height between 712mm to 762mm which is the ideal height for most people who are between 5ft and 6ft tall who use a regular task chair.
