Choosing the Right Office Chair for your Body and Lifestyle

Choosing the right office chair is important for your comfort, productivity and overall well-being, especially if you spend long hours at your desk. At Lakeland Furniture, we understand the importance of finding a chair to suit both your body and lifestyle. 

Understand Your Body’s Needs

Everyone's body is unique and your office chair should accommodate your specific requirements. You should consider the following: 

• Lumbar Support: Proper lumbar support is essential for maintaining the natural curve of your spine. A chair with built-in or adjustable lumbar support will help reduce strain on your lower back. This can prevent discomfort during long work sessions. 

• Seat Height and Depth: Your feet should rest flat on the floor, with your knees at a 90-degree angle. Choose a chair with adjustable seat height to ensure your legs are comfortably supported without pressure on the backs of your thighs. 

• Backrest: A high, contoured backrest provides support for your upper back and shoulders. Look for chairs with a backrest which suits your height and posture, offering a firm yet comfortable support. 

• Armrests: Adjustable armrests can help alleviate tension in your shoulders and neck. They should be at a height which allows your arms to rest comfortably. This helps keep your shoulders relaxed and your posture upright. 

Match the Office Chair to Your Lifestyle 

Your office chairs should not only fit your body but also complement your work style and personal taste. The material of your office chair plays a role in both comfort and aesthetics.

• Faux Leather Office Chairs: Faux leather office chairs offer a sleek and professional appearance. This makes them a great choice for workspaces where style matters. They are easy to maintain , which is ideal if you want a chair which is sophisticated whilst still being practical. 

• Velvet Office Chairs: If you are looking to add a touch of luxury and comfort to your space, a velvet office chair is a great option. Velvet chairs are soft to the touch, offering a cosy and elegant seating experience. They are perfect for home offices or creative spaces where comfort and style are both priorities. 

• Fabric Office Chairs: For a versatile option, fabric office chairs are an excellent choice. They tend to be more breathable than faux leather. This makes them a great choice if you’re looking for a chair which stays cool during long hours of use. 

Invest in a Quality Chair 

Whilst it might be tempting to choose a cheaper option, investing in a high quality office chair is an investment in your health and productivity. A well constructed chair will last longer, provide better support and help you avoid discomfort. 

At Lakeland furniture, we offer a wide range of office chairs which combine style, comfort and functionality. Whether you need a faux leather chair for a professional look, a velvet chair for a touch of luxury or a fabric chair for breathable comfort, we have options for everyone.
