Which office chair is right for you?

seating is another vital element of the right office furniture, not only because most office workers spend so much time seated but also because poor seating can cause serious back problems and repetitive strain injuries. When it comes to office chairs, take the time to consider which of the many styles are right for you so that you find the most suitable - and comfortable - option.

Let’s take a look at the different types of office seating available. First there’s the standard Typist Chair which has no arms and a small back rest. These are great when you’re on a budget as they’re some of the cheapest chairs around and they’re also good for mobility as there are no arms to bash into things. The so-called Operator Chair is very similar but has a longer chair back and therefore a little more support for the back and there’s also the option of having arms for those people who like somewhere to lean their elbows.

Stepping up a rung of the ladder, there are Executive Chairs or Managers Chairs. As you may expect, these tend to be a bit more expensive and a bit more impressive! These often come with full backs which offer more support so are not just for managers! You’ll find leather chairs and padded options for these higher spec Executive Chairs too.

If you’ve already suffered a back injury or perhaps just want to improve your posture, then there is office seating especially designed to protect your spine and your posture. And don’t forget the importance of quality chairs for your meeting rooms, reception areas, clients and guests.
