5 Tips for Personalizing Your Seat

A proper office chair is the foundation to a healthy ergonomic environment. Room & Board Business Interiors Retail Market Manger, Nicole Gaynor shares her top 5 tips on finding an office chair to suits your personal sitting style and how to sit well:

1) Start with an adjustable height chair that allows a 90 degree angle at your knees.

2) Consider your “sitting style”. Do you perch at the edge of your chair, sit all the way back, or a combination? Choose a seat depth that will work best for you.

3) Other considerations: lumbar support, adjustable arms, and the flexibility of a swivel chair when working in a small space.

4) Don’t forget, no matter what chair you choose, you need to be conscious of your posture. Bad posture can lead to a sore neck, shoulders, and back.

5) Last but not least, be sure to layer in regular breaks throughout your day to get up and move.
