Explore our recommendations for the best Office Chairs for bad backs by using the links below.
Living with back pain is a daily struggle so it’s important to make sure we look after our back. As a society, we are sitting more than ever before. Sitting has been classed as “the new smoking”, but for many of us sitting less isn’t an option.
Many of us have office jobs where we are required to sit at a desk to complete our work. It isn’t all doom and gloom though. Where there’s a problem, there’s a solution.
You would agree that sitting on a wooden dining chair for 8 hours a day would be bad for your health, right? So having the right office chair (as well as sitting correctly) can do wonders for our overall health and help mitigate the effects of prolonged sitting.
Ergonomics is a science-based discipline that combines knowledge from subjects such as anatomy and physiology, psychology, engineering and statistics to produce a product that is specifically designed to cater to the person using it.
That’s where Ergonomic Office Chairs come in to play. They have been designed specifically for prolonged sitting in such places as business offices, and aim to provide comfort and support throughout the entire day.
Our goal at ChairOffice is to provide you with the very best office furniture, and we have personally tested all of our chairs to make sure they meet the very high standards we set ourselves.
