How to choose a computer chair for your home. Instructions: How to choose a comfortable office chair

CPU Special Executive Director Martela office interior design company Elena Aralova compiled a list of things to consider when choosing an office chair.

Which piece of office interior "eats up" almost half of the entire budget for furniture for a new office? Work chair. And this is also a suitable excuse for mass manipulation and shamanism: "Here's a synchro-extra-super-mechanism for you, so 1099 euros is the most suitable price for it ..."

Jens Kapelmann, head of sales for Dauphin, one of Germany's largest seat manufacturers, gave us advice on how to sort through a million seats and a billion options, how to recognize the good office chair and most importantly - how to choose the most worthy option for the least money.

The algorithm is as follows (all questions are arranged in order of importance, in descending order):

• Does the chair have a synchro mechanism? This is when the seat and back synchronously and automatically repeat the movements of the person sitting: forward, backward, sideways. Thus, without losing the contact of the spine with the back of the chair, the person is in active movement, the spine is relaxed, there is no unnecessary tension on the muscles. This is the main thing. Without a synchro-mechanism, a chair is not a chair, but a stool with a back.
• Is there a backrest adjustment? Each person has a different weight, so the different forces that we put on the back of the chair must be proportionally compensated by its resistance. Otherwise, fragile little girls will sit like soldiers, unable to overcome their backs. And large men are always in a relaxed reclining position, which is not very well received by the authorities. It's good when you find a balance: the back should deviate relatively easily - but not so much as to "fly away". Adjustment can be mechanical or automatic.
• Seat depth adjustment. She definitely should be. According to the rules of ergonomics, there should be a distance from the edge of the seat to the inner bend of the knee with the width of your palm. If it is less - you "slide" from the chair. If it is more, you drown in it, forcing the leg muscles to strain unnecessarily.
• Is there a negative seat angle. And, at the same time, backrests, less than 90 degrees - this is when the backrest, following the seated one, sort of descends to the table. The negative tilt of the seat is needed in order to get rid of excess pressure on the inner thigh, due to which the blood flow in this place is pinched and the muscles do not receive proper nutrition and oxygen. This happens when you are forced to work for a long time in a position tilted to the table (writing with a pen, peering at the data on the monitor). Claim a negative slope!
• Where are my armrests? When you want to save money, the first thing you get rid of in a chair is the armrests. And this is a mistake. The armrests are aligned with the tabletop, so the wrist, forearm and hand on the keyboard (or with a pen) are always at the same level. The arm (including the shoulders) is always relaxed. And that's great. There are no armrests - and all day long your muscles do nothing but support your arms, forcing your shoulders to rise higher and higher, leading to slouching and increased tension in the shoulder girdle. In the armrests, the ability to adjust their height and width is important. All sorts of 3D and other mechanisms - from the evil one.
• Is the back height adjustable? More precisely, the height of the lumbar support. Well, if yes. The lumbar support provides the closest contact between the back of the chair and the point of greatest curvature of the spine. It is bad when the lumbar support rests on the buttocks or, on the contrary, almost on the shoulder blades. The tighter the contact, the more relaxed the sitting posture. But, in fact, the height of the backrest does not play an ergonomic role. This is purely a symbol of the status and importance of the seated person, nothing more.

Everything. The "minimum" program has been completed. The remaining options are a matter of subjective wishes and available budgets.

And finally, a few comments:

• The mesh back is not inferior in ergonomics to a regular back upholstered in fabric. The grid is more convenient in the summer - it passes air well and is ventilated.
• The headrest is a completely empty fixture. It has no ergonomic role. The headrest is needed in order to demonstrate the status of the seated person, to emphasize his high position.
• The plastic base of the chair is not inferior in its characteristics to the metal one. Modern plastic in chairs is special, high-strength. Serves quietly for 10 years or more, is not particularly susceptible to any serious damage.
• When choosing an office chair, it would be good to pay attention to the fabric with which it is upholstered. Main characteristic fabrics - an index of its abrasion, wear resistance. It is expressed in martindales. For an office chair, this index must be at least 80,000.
• It is worth specifying the type of wheels. They are for hard floors (with soft felt nozzles so as not to damage the floor) and, on the contrary, for soft floors (with plastic nozzles to glide better on the carpet).
• The normal warranty for the office chair is 5 years. If they give less - a reason to think.
• A real work chair cannot be cheaper than 400 euros (price in Russia, including customs duties, delivery). If you need to save money: choose cheaper fabric, a plastic chair base, mechanical rather than automatic adjustments, a lower back. It is impossible to save on mechanisms and armrests. Then it's wiser to go to IKEA and buy a nice, pretty stool. Same result, and also very cheap.

Time is changing rapidly. Information Technology are becoming more and more part of our lives. If earlier the word “work” often meant physical labor, now there are more and more people who are constantly working and earning money while sitting at a desk. Many of us daily, throughout the whole day, work at the computer, and it is very important that the working conditions are as comfortable as possible, and the work itself does not harm health. Therefore, the question comes to the fore right choice computer chair. This question has its own nuances, and the breadth of the range of computer chairs today makes its solution even more difficult.

We sit very often and a lot. We sit at the table at work when we read, write, ride the bus and car. Most of us sit in a static position, but doctors say that this should never be done. This posture is fraught with circulatory disorders, back pain, varicose veins and an uneven load on the muscles, damage to the intervertebral discs and headaches. Static sitting causes fatigue, a weakening of concentration, and as a result, you can lose your ability to work altogether. Incorrect posture increases the load on the back by about 40%, while the efficiency of work, on the contrary, decreases by 10%.
The question arises: can this be avoided in sedentary work? The answer is obvious: of course, you can, only for this you need to properly equip workplace, giving, at the same time, Special attention chair.

You can choose a very expensive computer chair made from the most advanced materials using the most sophisticated mechanisms, but the pleasure is not the cheapest, and the benefits of such a chair are dubious. A much better option would be to purchase an inexpensive, but at the same time comfortable and comfortable chair. The choice of chairs on the market, as already mentioned, is now very wide. Most of us form an opinion about the chair, first of all, based on its softness. According to this parameter, hard, semi-soft and soft chairs are distinguished. Armchairs are considered rigid if their backs are made without the use of elastic materials, such as metal. If the thickness of the foam rubber on the chair is 3–5 cm or more, then this is an easy chair. If the chair has a foam padding 2-4 cm thick, then this is a semi-soft chair.

Choose a chair with a not too embossed surface. The seat should have a rounded edge to avoid undue pressure on your hips, and the backrest should help distribute pressure evenly over the entire surface of contact with your back. It is better if the upholstery of the chair is water and vapor proof. Most computer chairs have armrests. Their height should be such that the hands can rest freely on them. The elbows should not rest against the armrests, as in this case, the raised shoulders will deform the spine. If you don't have enough space in your office, you can buy chairs without armrests, or not screw them on, but this is not a desirable option. The chair should have a five-beam support and easily rotating wheels so that you feel stable on it and can move in any direction. If the floor in your room is hard, then the rollers on the chair should be soft, if, on the contrary, the floor is soft, the rollers should be hard. If you buy a chair with hard casters and install it on a new parquet floor, it will deteriorate quickly, and if you put a chair with soft casters on the carpet, it will be almost impossible to move it.

How to choose computer chair by figure.
It is very important that the seat of the chair is adjustable. You must set the height of the backrest and its inclination that you need. The mechanism should be equipped with fixed shock absorbers, they will soften the sharp load on the spine. Mechanism adjustments should be simple and convenient. The chair should fully adapt to your figure, and not the figure under the chair, as often happens. The height of the chair should be such that the forearms lie horizontally on its surface, the angle between the shoulder and forearm must be straight. The thigh should also lie horizontally, the angle at the knee should also be straight. If in this case your feet do not touch the floor, then purchase and use a special stand for them. The protruding part of the back should comfortably support the body at waist level.

When buying a computer chair, be sure to ask the seller to present a quality certificate, hygiene certificates and a certificate of compliance with GOST. You need to buy a computer chair only in a special store, since when buying on the market "from hand", you most likely will not be able to get these documents. As for the manufacturer, imported chairs, as a rule, are very beautiful, comfortable and at the same time expensive. Domestic copies are somewhat inferior to them in quality, but they are much cheaper. The cheapest, according to tradition, is Chinese products. Outwardly, such computer chairs differ little from expensive branded chairs, however, upon closer examination, all their shortcomings become clearly visible. If you have the opportunity to buy a computer chair more expensive, but better, then it is better to skip the Chinese version.

When choosing a computer chair, the focus should not be on price, but on stability and durability. Be sure to select a chair for a specific person who will sit on it, and then it will last a very long time.

Good luck with your choice and a comfortable fit!

A computer chair should be used not only by those who work at home. Avid fans of surfing the Internet or computer games will also definitely need a model specially designed for this. Not only are these designs much more comfortable than ordinary chairs, they also help maintain back health.

Peculiarities

Choosing a good computer chair is extremely important. It is on how correctly this piece of furniture is selected that your performance, health of the back and eyes depend. A properly selected computer chair can reduce fatigue, reduce the load on the spine and muscles of the back and neck, and ensure a comfortable position for the legs.

For the home, it is especially important to choose the most convenient model, since most people spend time after work in front of the computer: they watch TV shows, read, play computer games. Ordinary chairs are not comfortable and lead to the fact that the back and neck become numb very soon. In the long run, this can turn into serious problems. If you do not have the opportunity to regularly attend massage sessions, it is strongly recommended to choose a chair that is comfortable for working in the office at the computer, as well as a suitable model for home.

It should be remembered that the chair is selected for the table, according to its parameters and features. For example, a model that is too tall can result in your feet constantly touching the countertop. Such a prospect cannot be called seductive, so thoroughly prepare before buying: check the parameters computer desk, its height, width.

It is necessary to take into account the anatomical features of your body. If you have any problems with the musculoskeletal system or muscles, for example, you are tormented cervical osteochondrosis, you will have to select a model of a computer chair taking into account this trouble.

Typically, computer chairs are equipped with many additional options: wheels, rocking mechanism and the like. All this helps to make your stay in the chair as comfortable as possible. Carefully figure out which features you need and which you can do without.

In the computer chair market, the correlation between price and quality is the most noticeable. To learn about the improved characteristics of a particular model, you can often just look at the price tag. Usually a computer chair is not a matter of prestige, so status or brand rarely plays a role in determining the final price.

It is logical that the cost of a chair is directly proportional to the time you spend behind it. Your health and well-being depend on it, and you can’t save on health. What's more, the orthopedically designed braces help keep the posture in the correct position, therefore, no clamps interfere with the free flow of blood to the brain, and it functions much better and faster.

Varieties

The most common type of computer chair is an upholstered chair on a five-beam base equipped with wheels. It freely rotates around its axis. Usually the chair is equipped with adjustable seat height and back angle. Armrests are welcome.

Recently, however, more narrowly focused products have become more common, for example, office chair. According to the description, it looks like a computer one: fabric soft seat and back, the presence of a five-beam base on wheels. However, there is one significant difference: the office chair is made without armrests. Initially, it was conceived as universal, suitable for work both at a written and at a computer desk, but now less and less work is being done not at a computer. When choosing a chair, stay away from models without armrests - they are not suitable for working at a computer.

The so-called director's or VIP-chairs are made to last. They are made of high quality leather, equipped with an orthopedic back with lumbar support and high-quality armrests. Armrests are usually made of high-quality durable plastic, less often they are covered with leather to better match the body of the chair itself. This type much more comfortable than conventional office chairs, so in the absence of alternatives, it is recommended to choose this option.

The round computer chair is not suitable for long-term work. It is equipped with a low back with a non-adjustable angle of inclination, as well as not orthopedic seat. On top of that, the height of the chair is usually not adjustable either, which puts such options even lower in the ranking than office models.

Despite the great inconvenience in work, this chair is the most stylish of all, so it still holds the lead.

Unusual designer models The so-called client chairs have firmly established themselves among the classics of computer chairs. Mesh hard backs are hallmark of this variety. Remarkably, these models are made without wheels. The chairs owe this innovation to psychologists: they have proven that, statistically, a person in a static position takes everything more seriously than if he sits in a swivel chair.

The Sports Gaming Bucket Chair was designed specifically to sit in front of a computer for long periods of time. All these models are made with a high back, the angle of which can be adjusted. The back has an orthopedically correct shape and special coating, which allows you to combine sitting in a chair with acupuncture massage due to the anatomically correct location of the backrest.

Bucket chairs are often made with a footrest and headrest. The footrest allows you to place your legs at the most comfortable angle to the body, and the headrest helps to relax the neck while keeping the head in the best position. With relaxed neck muscles and the correct position of the head, the eyes also strain less, following the monitor from top to bottom.

Popular colors

Currently, the use of both models of noble colors and perky cheerful colors is encouraged. By noble shades are meant classic tones: black, gray, brown, cream and the like. Such shades never go out of fashion and always remain in trend.

Color models are gaining more and more popularity due to the frequent placement of a computer in the living room. It is necessary that the computer chair blends well with the surroundings. For this purpose, the selection of color models is carried out. The most relevant are the following tones.

Pink

This chair fits well in the living room or nursery. The truly girly color looks fresh and unusual, especially in contrast with the light shade of the base and armrests. A pink armchair will be a great addition to a bright computer desk.

Orange

The orange armchair looks dynamic and sporty. Often, these models are complemented by black inserts, designed to add even more sporty gloss to the model. There are not only textile orange models, but also made of leather.

Beige

Mostly in this coloring there are VIP models. The beige armchair looks respectable. In addition to the above psychological effect, the beige color has a relaxing and calming effect, allowing the person sitting in it to feel as comfortable as possible.

Blue

To date, the blue computer chair can be found most often. The whole gamut of shades is widespread: dark blue, aquamarine and even blue are found everywhere. Like orange, deep blue has a sporty feel to it, which has made it popular in gaming bucket chairs.

Green

It is almost impossible to meet a green chair, but in vain. It is possible to choose a warm or cold shade, light or dark tone. Often, an emerald computer chair can be made an accent piece of a living room or office, while it will not look trivial or defiant.

Red

A red computer chair can most often be found made of leather in a modern modern office. It looks bold and is more suitable for a manager than for an ordinary employee.

Violet

The purple environment sets you up for work, and for this reason alone it is worth considering purchasing such a computer chair. Upholstery purple hue looks spectacular in a duet with chrome-colored fittings.

White

The classic white director's chair is a timeless classic. White models are made of leather. Remarkably, in this color you can find not only ultra-modern models, but also Empire style armchairs.

Thus, it is always possible to choose the option that best suits your needs and wishes. Pay attention to the texture and material of manufacture. If there are small children in the apartment, it is not recommended to choose light models of computer chairs, since any trace of a pen, felt-tip pen, plasticine on the chair will be very noticeable.

Manufacturer rating

When choosing a chair for a computer, they often pay attention to the manufacturer. It is a special success when a supplier company manages to combine in its products excellent quality, affordable price, and a wide range of models. Unfortunately, very few companies offer products that meet these three criteria.

Chairman

This company appeared in 1999. It is located in the Moscow region. To date this company offers the widest range of models of computer chairs. In addition, the model range is constantly replenished, old options are replaced by new ones.

Search chairs for permanent job behind the computer, however, does not follow here.

"Proton"

The company supplies both Russian products and models straight from China. Of all the listed companies, it is Proton that offers best price. The company provides a good selection of types of models and their colors. The quality depends on the price of the model: as a rule, it is a reflection of how well the chair is made.

"Good chairs"

This company specializes in the supply of furniture that can withstand heavy weight. For example, almost all computer chairs are designed for a maximum weight of 200 kg. Despite the fact that the company is engaged in deliveries from China, they offer quite acceptable quality, however, due to the specific niche occupied by Good Armchairs, the range offered is extremely scarce.

"Isit"

Korean furniture supplied by this company is of high quality and the same high price. In defense of the company, it is worth saying that it is engaged in specialized computer ergonomic models that fully meet all requirements. These chairs are the most comfortable to use due to the fact that they have been specially designed for working at a computer. The quality of the components is top notch.

How to choose?

When choosing the most suitable model for you, pay attention to the following parameters of a computer chair:

• The smallest chair height. If the chair is a priori high, you may encounter a number of difficulties while working at the computer desk. standard height table - 65 cm, so you need to make sure that the height of the chair allows you to calmly place your legs and not rest against the tabletop.
• The softness of the seat. Pay attention to how the seat of the chair is made: it is impossible for the material to roll down, because you simply cannot sit in the chair due to the clearly felt bolts and other fastening fittings. It is advisable to choose chairs with two-layer foam rubber on the seat.
• Seat depth. If you choose a chair that is too deep, you may experience discomfort in your legs. Ideally, if the distance between the edge of the computer chair and the popliteal crease is 5 cm. The same applies to models equipped with a footrest. Do not neglect this model selection rule, since your performance largely depends on it.

• Seat width. This refers to the width between the handles. It should be such that you can safely sit in a chair, as comfortably as possible, bend your legs under you. Insufficient width will fix the legs in an unnatural position, leading to general fatigue.
• Chair height adjustable. In addition to minimum height It should be possible to adjust the chair height to suit you. During operation, the legs should be on the floor with a full foot, and it is from this that you should build off when adjusting the height. It's good when the seat turns easily: as a rule, it simply adjusts to the sitting posture, gently adjusting the angle of its landing in relation to the computer.
• Adjustment of the angle between backrest and seat. According to user reviews, it is best to choose chairs without such an opportunity, that is, so that the angle is rigidly fixed. It is these options that will “unload” the back as much as possible, while maintaining its anatomically correct position.

• The shape and the possibility of adjusting the handles. Sometimes handles are placed too high or too low. It is good when it is possible to adjust their position in order to take the load off the arms and shoulders. It is better to choose a chair with handles made of rubberized plastic or coated under the body of the chair to avoid slipping hands.
• Rocking mechanism. You should not choose models in which, with a fixed base, only the back swings. It is best if the base and backrest swing together, while the backrest maintains a rigidly fixed angle in relation to the seat.
• Materials. Mesh textile models are recognized as the best. Leather options make the body sweat, which makes a person often feel uncomfortable. In addition, textiles are not very susceptible to rubbing: modern materials are quite wear-resistant.
