Quality Office Chairs for Elders

 

 

Life expectancies are rising in many countries around the world, meaning people are working until later in life to supplement their income as well as to stay busy, and feel useful, valuable, and appreciated.

 

Many employers are encouraging these older and more experienced employees to continue working and want them to feel comfortable in the office. The only concession to age that some of these employees require is better office seating. Older people are more prone to muscle stiffness, arthritis, and circulation issues. These issues can affect productivity in the workplace. Providing high-quality office chairs enables certain adjustment capabilities that can help relieve these issues and provide healthier, ergonomic designs that are missing from mass-produced alternatives. Having quality office chairs benefits all employees and makes life a bit easier for the seniors in the office.

 

Important Features of a Quality Office Chair

Here are some of the features of a high-quality office chair that can make a difference for every employee, especially the senior members of your office.

 

Adjustability

People come in all shapes and sizes. A chair should accommodate everyone’s needs and preferences. No one should have to struggle to get and remain comfortable in their chair over a long workday.

 

Armrests

Armrests can provide needed support and stability, especially for those who may struggle to get in and out of a chair. They can also make it easier to hold the arms at an angle throughout the workday, which benefits proper blood circulation.

 

Backrest

A chair’s backrest should be adjustable and provide proper lumbar support to prevent lower back pain. The lumbar support should also be adjustable to account for different heights of the users.

 

Cushioning

The seat and backrest should be covered in an easily cleaned, breathable material and be cushioned for comfort and to prevent pressure sores on the back and upper legs.

 

Durability

All office furniture must withstand years of use and abuse, remain presentable, and offer a positive image for the company. All parts of office chairs should be made from high-quality, durable materials that can be easily cleaned and withstand heavy, regular use.

 

Reclining

Some employees may prefer a chair that reclines, which can help to relieve pressure on the back at the end of a busy workday and provide a more varied and comfortable working experience.

 

Safety Features

The chair should have non-slip feet or wide casters to prevent slipping and sliding. The majority of its weight should also be in the lower half of the chair to ensure stability and prevent tipping, particularly if it’s a reclining chair.

 

Seat Depth

Each chair should be deep enough to allow everyone to sit back and have their back against the backrest without the backs of the knees contacting the front edge of the chair seat and impeding circulation in the legs.

 

Seat Height

The seat height should be adjustable, allowing every employee to work with their feet flat on the floor and their knees level with their hips.

 

Seat Width

An office chair should be wide and roomy enough to accommodate hips and thighs comfortably and be easy to get in and out of.
