5 Reasons Why You Need an Ergonomic Chair in Your Office

A typical 9 to 5 work day sees employees sitting at their desks for up to 7 hours, most of which go uninterrupted, and without breaks. With non-ergonomic office chairs, users are bound to be uncomfortable and have bad posture, which in turn affect work quality and morale.

Having an ergonomic chair can play a vital role in your work environment, whether it’s at the office or in your study room. Here are 5 reasons why all offices should use ergonomic chairs:

With a poorly designed office chair, you will be accustomed to slouching and sitting in awkward positions in order to get comfortable. Your legs are either dangling from the chair or they are sprawled out under your desk. Poor posture is a major contributing factor to poor health, which in turn affects your efficacy.

Ergonomic office chairs will encourage you to sit with correct posture. The POFIT is one such chair that was professionally designed with intelligent tech to notify users when their posture is bad.

The chair comes with an app that has a healthy sitting posture warning and a sitting posture evaluation feature, allowing users to correct the way they sit. POFIT also has a 5-joint support for the lumbar spine, 3-joint support for the thoracic spine, and 1-joint support for the sacrum spine, providing full support for your whole back. This means no more aches from sitting for too long!

Apart from a conducive work environment, employees seek to be comfortable and appreciated. One way employers can achieve this is by putting employees’ health as a priority. Investing in a healthy and comfortable workspace shows how much the company cares.

Comfortable ergonomic chairs are one way to win the hearts of employees as they improve overall spine health and don’t cause pains that make work unpleasant. The POFIT chair is an excellent way to show you care as it features neck, back, lumbar, arms, hips, and even thigh support.

Offices with ergonomic assistance are known to improve productivity. Good furniture design, for instance, makes the workstation a more efficient and collaborative space.

Research shows that people are 17.5% more productive when working in an ergonomic setting while various studies have proven that there is a correlation between productivity and comfortability. The POFIT chair, then, becomes an obvious choice as it is a fully adjustable chair that offers 300% more support compared to other work chairs.

Poor ergonomics leads to frustrated and fatigued employees that aren’t able to do their best at work. When merely sitting at a workstation becomes physically taxing, work is either done at a slower pace or inadequately.

Sitting in an ergonomic chair is comfortable and allows you to focus on your work when you need to, and relax when you have to. The POFIT chair comes equipped with tilt modes that you can tighten or loosen to attain relaxed or firm support. You can also fix the tilt at 4 different depths using a single lever control. The highly adjustable support system on this chair means you can lean back when you need to take a midday break.

It’s often difficult to find a chair that is suitable for all your employees as people vary in height, weight, and size. Many find themselves with chairs that aren’t adjustable, leaving them feeling uncomfortable and achy.

The POFIT is a highly adjustable chair that allows users to customise the chair to their body, making the seating experience that much more comfortable. A single lever control helps you adjust the seat height and back tilt while an intuitive pull and push feature adjusts the seat depth. As for back support, there are 7 bionic spine adjustment levels to meet a wide range of heights. Furthermore, the 5D headrest accommodates different heights, head shapes, working styles, and sitting angles.
