How to Choose the Right Desk Chairs for Your Workplace

March 12, 2018 by Lauren Palmer

If you have an office job or work in a white collar environment, then it’s likely you’ll be very familiar with office desk chairs. In fact, most people spend around 8 hours a day sitting in an office chair. Multiply that by 5 and you have 40 hours – and that’s just one week. As you can see, the hours can quickly add up, so making sure that you’re sitting in the right type of chair is important. This article will look at the different types of office desk chairs and provide helpful information that will make it easy to choose the right chair for your needs.

Executive Chairs

Designed for those in high positions, executive desk chairs feature high back rests and arm rests, are lined with a luxurious polyurethane foam filling, and are usually made out of high-quality vinyl or leather. Due to the number of features they boast, executive desk chairs are the most expensive type of office chair on the market. They usually include adjustable arm rests, fully adjustable back rests, and height adjustment features.

Executive desk chairs also come in a wide variety of colours, so no matter what your office decor is, there’s sure to be an executive chair to match. Although they’re made with executives in mind, these chairs are a good choice for anyone who has to sit for long periods of time and wants to do so in comfort.

Ergonomic Chairs

Ergonomic desk chairs are similar to executive chairs, but they don’t come with quite the same price tag – although they also aren’t the cheapest type of desk chair on the market. This is again due to the number of features that they offer, including adjustable height controls, head rests, arm rests and comfortable padding. These features are a must for any worker who suffers from back pain or spine problems, as they’re excellent at combating these ailments and providing support for the user.

 

Conference Room Chairs

Conference room chairs are made specifically for use in conference rooms and meeting rooms. These chairs don’t usually come with wheels and only offer minimal adjustment capabilities. They’re ideal for conference rooms as they take up less room and cost less than executive and ergonomic chairs.

Arms or No Arms?

While there are a number of different chair types available, there’s another choice that you’ll have to make when it comes to desk chairs – arms or no arms. This will really come down to personal preference, but many workers who do spend a lot of time at their desk tend to prefer having arm rests, as they offer good support. The only downside to desk chairs with arms is the extra cost. Arms on desk chairs mean more materials are needed for manufacture, and so the cost goes up accordingly. Some workers also prefer armless chairs. However, many chairs come with arms that are removable, so this can be a good option if you want to cover all bases.
