If you spend most of your work and even your free time in a sitting position, you are in good company. Many people work in the office and spend an average of 7.5 hours at a desk, and then again at home. Understanding the importance of ergonomic chairs for home is very essential.

Place the monitor a little more than an arm’s length from your seat.

The height of the monitor should be chosen so that your view is slightly lowered when working on the computer.

The mouse and keyboard must be placed so that they are level with the elbows.

Use supports for your hands to relieve the muscles when using the mouse and keyboard.

The pelvis should be slightly tilted or at a 90 ° angle while sitting. If you want to sit ergonomically, you should use an ergonomic swivel chair with a suitably shaped seat cushion.

The feet must be placed parallel and firmly on the floor.

Correct sitting at the workplace is encouraged if the swivel chair can be adjusted to your own body size. Pay attention to the  optimal seat height of  the chair.

Ergonomic sitting at the PC is not enough to relieve the body sufficiently during a sedentary activity. It is also important to incorporate regular exercise into everyday life.

The sitting position should not be underestimated if you want to sit better. The seating position should be dynamic. While it used to be advised to keep the sitting position as rigid as possible and always stay upright, today it is advised to constantly change the sitting position. Wiggling the chair, leaning back, stretching your arms and legs – all of this is absolutely allowed when sitting ergonomically.

Sitting correctly in the office can help prevent or alleviate back pain and other ailments that can result from sitting incorrectly. Sitting ergonomically at work can help prevent back pain. Ergonomic office chairs relieve the body in crucial areas. With the support of the chair, the spine is relieved and the intervertebral discs can be better supplied with blood. The muscles in the shoulders, arms, hands and neck are also relieved. The result is less tension and pain. Thanks to the numerous adjustment options, it is easier to adapt the chair to your own body and to sit healthily. The optimal desk  height also plays a role if sitting is to be ergonomic.
