Adjustment of height, seat, armrests... To avoid back problems, it is important to be well installed in your office chair. We explain, step by step, all the essential adjustments you need to make to your office chair, so that you can enjoy a comfortable sitting position.
Adjusting your office chair in 4 steps!
1
ADJUST THE SEAT HEIGHT
Stand up straight, facing your office chair. Adjust the height of the seat so its highest point is just below your knees.
2
ADJUST THE SEAT DEPTH
Adjust the seat depth using the knob under the seat. The ideal setting is when you can place a hand in the space between the seat and the hollow of your knees.
3
ADJUST THE BACKREST
Most of your back should be in contact with the seat. Then place the lumbar support in the hollow of your back and place your neck against the underside of the headrest.
4
ADJUST THE ARMRESTS
Sit up straight and bend your arms at a right angle. Adjust the height of the armrests so that they just touch the lower part of your elbows.s
Still uncomfortable?!
You have made all the right adjustments and yet, you're still not sitting comfortably? Get a backrest and a footrest!
A LITTLE TRICK...
If you work continuously at a screen, take a 5-10 minute break every hour if you can. Leave your workstation, move around, stretch!
And if your office chair still doesn't feel right ... Then there is only one radical solution left: change your chair. :)
