Ergonomics, Office Chairs

The Ergonomic Office

If you know anything about office furniture, you’ll know that we’re now in the world of ergonomics. In a nutshell, this means making the office environment fit you. It means looking at your personal working space, your job responsibilities and also your body frame measurements and weight, to get the ‘best for you’ as regards to working conditions.

‘Getting it right’ will cover space, light, noise and overall sitting comfort:-

Space. A good ergonomic layout will mean that your work system is organised in such a way that you don’t have to carry heavy weights over long distances, you don’t have to overly stretch and you’re not working in cramped conditions etc..

Light. Good daylight is important and, where this isn’t possible, good simulated daylight is the next best thing. Knowing what type of lighting to buy for your office space is essential. Also bear in mind that a lot of light comes from your computer screen and this is going directly towards your eyes, which isn’t a good thing, as good light should always come from over your shoulder. I would always advise getting a filter screen for your computer, to reduce that ‘sunlight’ effect which really is too bright.

Noise. We now often hear of noise pollution and, in a busy office, pollution is often the case. For example, how often have you had to speak with call centre staff and can’t hear what your contact is saying as clearly as you can hear her colleagues? In that modern-day office, false walls in the form of screens are often used, to give that feeling of private space and to somewhat reduce the effect of the overall noise.

Overall Sitting Comfort. When it comes to seating, always look at ergonomic office chairs, as these are designed to offer many adjustments, making the chair of your choice match your overall needs. The Ergohuman range has several models, like the Ergohuman, the Ergohuman Plus, the Mirus, Enjoy and the Nefil. Spend some time finding out what these chairs offer. The features include seat tilt and glide, seat height, adjustable armrests, a lumbar support region and many other useful features and there are also additional extras, such as a headrest, a leg rest and a note table. Knowing what your job responsibilities ask of you will help you decide which of these additional extras are necessary.

Overall. An ergonomically-friendly environment makes work a pleasure and the day less stressful. It’s like any job, a bad workman always blames his tools, so getting the environment right for you means success all round.

It’s simply ergonomics.

Ergohuman Mesh Office Chairs and the Psychological Effects of Colour

Mesh. We know it to be a breathable fabric and we’ve had experience of it in the lining in some of our outdoor coats and jackets. Creating a second layer in the garment, the mesh allows the air to circulate and we feel more comfortable within ourselves.
So what about a mesh office chair? Well, Ergohuman have embraced this fabric in their range of stunning ergonomic office seating and they haven’t just stuck to one colour either. Ergohuman has many different models of ergonomic office chair and, while you might be tempted to say “it’s only a chair”, you’d be wrong on this occasion. These chairs offer so many adjustments that, when your chair arrives, you can tailor it to your specific needs. Maybe you are short or you are tall. Maybe you have a slight frame, or you have a larger one. Maybe you already have a bad back and you want to know that your chair is working with you, (add your own name here), in mind.

So pick the chair for you.
Now let’s go for mesh and spend some valuable time deciding which colour works for you.

So, why mesh?
Well, we’ve already talked about its breathability in clothing but what about in office chair format? Remember that you will be sitting there for several hours up to lunch time, several more afterwards and that sitting for prolonged periods can make you fidgety. The flexibility of the mesh, as opposed to leather or any synthetic fabric, makes movement more accommodating, allowing you to find your best sitting position and to feel ready for commitment to the job in hand.

And colour?
Colour really does have an effect on one’s emotions and wellbeing. Think no further than the ancient Chinese, and still thriving, practice of feng shui, where the right colour in the right place can affect your health, welfare and fortune. Give me yellow or green and I will feel so positive and energetic. Maybe blue or red are the colours which do it for you. Colour really is important to your psychological comfort, so there are lot of advantages in introducing colours into the workplace.

Colour can help with so many areas of working life:-
• If a company has a corporate colour, furnishing their environment with that colour states togetherness
• If the company wishes to show its eco-friendly interests, green will go a long way to displaying that commitment
• Modern office environments do now display colour (feng shui in operation, or maybe simply personal preference) and the eye focuses on a brilliance of light, rather than a dirge of indifference.
If the individual chooses their own favourite colour, not only does it have the psychological effects already mentioned but, once the chair adjustments have been personalised (seat height, armrest adjustments etc.), it will be easier for the chair owner / user to be sure that they are sitting in their own chair. To explain this, imagine a group meeting, where every employee pushes their ‘same colour’ chair into a circle for a get-together or a team build and then, after lunch, they can’t identify the one that was adjusted to their personal needs. Colour does have importance. Imagine a packet of smarties all in one colour …. .
When the ergonomic office chair meets the needs of the employee, the employer also benefits. Going for the Ergohuman office chair range, a mesh upholstery and the right colour for the ‘sitter’, you’re already ahead of the crowd.

Ergonomic Office Chairs

We live in a designer world, where a dress is no longer a dress but a Stella McCartney number, a suit is a Versace and a car is referred to as the Porsche or some other ‘to die for’ brand name on four wheels.

So, why shouldn’t you refer to your own ergonomic office chair as a Nefil, a Mirus or a Ergohuman?

Why not?

Okay, it’ll be ‘out of the norm’ but think of the good advice you’ll be imparting to your family, friends and colleagues.

What I’m saying is – there’s an office chair but then there’s an ergonomic office chair and, unlike the designer ‘must haves’ mentioned earlier, a good ergonomic office chair doesn’t cost the earth.

When talking about cars, a firefighter friend told me that there are certain cars which stand up better to accident damage (e.g. the Alexis) and the same can be said for your office chair. Some will simply be office chairs, while others will give you additional support and improve your posture.

So, if you are shopping for your own ergonomic office chair, start (and, might I add, finish) with the Ergohuman range. Of the three I have already mentioned, all have those important adjustments, like seat height, seat tilt and that all-important lumbar support section, meaning the design isn’t ‘off the peg’ but made to measure, for you, whoever you are.

You can also go for additional extras, like a headrest and a leg rest, so think the whole picture when you are deciding what’s right for you. What does your job entail?

The duties of your job might make certain features more important to you. For example, that seat tilt. If your job means you are up and down all day long, a forward tilt will actually aid you in standing up, taking some of that pressure of your legs which normally comes from getting up from a more horizontal position.

Once you’ve chosen the right model for you, you can move on to choosing the right colour and the Ergohuman range do much more than black and blue. I’d go for a subtle autumn shade and I’d choose a mesh upholstery, as it’s durable, comfortable and easy to care for.

Are you starting to get the picture? You know, shopping for an ergonomic office chair online in the UK can be more fun than shopping for something to wear. With the right advice and professional support from Simply Ergonomic or Ergohuman, you won’t be thinking of taking it back the next day.

I already have my office chair but, if you need to buy one for yourself, I would suggest that you look no further than the Ergohuman range. I have the Nefil office chair, though my colleague swears by the Enjoy office chair model but it really depends on what you’re looking for. One of the points that should affect your decision is your body frame but the nature of your job is also important. What I mean by that second consideration is do you sit down all day long or are you always up and down, does the job involve a lot of twisting (maybe your filing cabinets are right next to you and you don’t have to actually leave your seat to put something away).

For me, the seat tilt and slide and the backrest tilt mean that I can get my back and my bottom to fit comfortably into the Nefil chair, so that I am actually using its magnificent features to support the whole of my back. That means that I am making use of the lumbar support that the chair back gives. My friend likes the Enjoy chair, as it has autoflex zones in the lumbar support feature and this does it for her.

All of the Ergohuman chair models are to die for, as a lot of thinking has gone into their design. They all have many features and adjustments and I suppose the most noticeable difference is the look of the chair. I just love the simple look and the Nefil’s chair back from the rear reminds me of the old-style beer bottle opener. The chair looks good and makes me feel good. With its ribbed look back support, the Enjoy appeals to my friend and that’s fine.

One thing we both agreed on was the choice of fabric. Though the leather is very nice, we much preferred the airiness of the mesh. It’s easy to wipe clean and is a chair that breathes, if you know what I mean.

I’m really pleased that I was guided towards the Ergohuman range of chairs. It was sound advice and that’s why I am passing the same information on. There’s an interesting range of colours to choose from as well. And as regards to that sound advice … don’t forget to pass it on.
