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.
