Improving the workplace at home or in the office, buying a premium executive chair, or a batch of staff chairs are different tasks. But you no longer have to consult a specialist to help you in this matter. In case you don’t know where to start, we invite you to study our article, in which we tried to describe what to pay attention to in the first place when choosing proper office chairs.
What to Look for in a Premium Chair
Whatever you buy, the first thing you pay attention to is the product’s appearance as you should like the look of the item and feel that it matches your aesthetics. After you have decided on the external characteristics, it is where all the fun begins.
Choosing the Shape of the Back and Seat
First of all, premium office chairs should be comfortable and the level of ergonomics you receive is determined by the shape and size of their elements. Pay attention to the back's shape that should follow the curves of the user's body and have the maximum number of contact points to be considered ergonomic.
An essential element is the bend in the lumbar region, not lower or higher, as this supporting element will relieve you of back fatigue and prevent aches. The presence of protrusions on the sides of the backrest is advisable because they help maintain proper posture. The more precisely the chair follows your spine curves and supports your back in various regions, the easier you will feel at the end of the day.
The next thing to pay attention to is the seat. The optimal chair seat depth is the one that allows for a palm-width distance between the bend of the knee and the end of the seat. Such a position is essential because excess pressure a knee bend creates will lead to squeezing blood vessels, leg swelling, and general fatigue. Choose premium computer chairs with the seat shape that you feel the most comfortable (round, oval, square, or any other). A small indentation in the center will allow you to sit fixed and not slide. Because the seat size is the aspect you cannot change afterward, people of non-standard proportions may ask for a custom-made furniture piece.
Choosing a Headrest and Armrests
Are armrests and headrests that important in the chair? It all depends on your personal preference, the amount of time spent in the chair, and what you are choosing the chair for. Armrests and a headrest are needed in the premium class chairs as they increase the ergonomics and functionality that you pay for. Putting your head on the headrest or putting your hands in a relaxed position to give yourself some rest for a few minutes are useful opportunities you get by investing in the luxurious furniture.
However, if your workplace has a minimum of space, do not choose the models with these extensions — such premium chairs can be massive. When your hands are in motion all the time, you don't need armrests. If you are looking for the waiting room chairs, headrests aren’t necessary either. There should be a wise balance in everything, even equipping your office with the latest technological advancements.
Choosing Mechanisms and Optional Adjustments
In Kulik System, we create chairs suitable for everyone because we offer a personalized approach. Therefore, it is crucial to adjust the chair to your needs and decide the image of your dream model. Considering that all people are of different heights, weights, and body types, we provide the ability to adjust all premium leather chairs in height and tilt angle. For these purposes, we provide customers with a whole range of mechanisms.
The minimum set of adjustments should include regulating the height and tilt angle of the backrest. The only exception is child seats. According to the recommendations of orthopedic surgeons, the child should get used to sitting straight. When choosing an adult chair for a home office or a company's workspace, you can rely on Kulik System. Every one of our chairs is adjustable in the height of the headrest, armrests, and backrest as well as is equipped with a swing mechanism — a very convenient option for people whose life is closely connected with working at a table.
Choosing Rollers to Protect the Floor Surface
Almost all chairs by default are equipped with plastic casters suitable for soft floor coverings (carpet or linoleum). If your workspace floor is covered with ceramic tiles or laminate, buy an ergonomic premium chair with rubberized casters. These rollers run quieter and damage the floor surface much less.
The appearance of the rollers — the presence of a supportive skirt or a chrome lining of the stem — is a matter of taste. These details will not affect the performance in any way but add presentability to the luxurious furniture. A universal solution to protect the floor and silence of your office is to use a plastic mat. Such rugs are suitable for all types of hard surfaces.
For instance, some customers, for example, those who use the chair in front of the musical instrument, prefer the chair to be stable. In this case, you should buy a premium chair on non-moving legs or casters that you can block from rolling.
Color and Design
As you delve into ergonomics, do not forget about design. The appearance of your new piece of furniture is crucial for both the executive office and the home workspace. A safe bet is neutral shades. Black, brown, possibly dark blue are versatile colors that will match many designs and do not get dirty for a long time.
When you buy a premium leather chair, you get access to various choices as the higher price segment offers incredible models to every taste. A bright color will be a bold solution and add contrast to a light interior. Or you can follow the general look of the office and not risk it. Whatever you choose, we will help you implement the wish into life.
Ergonomic Chairs From Kulik System
It is better to test the chair before buying it, especially since the premium chairprice is higher than regular items. You can visit the offline store to get the touch and feel of the chair models presented by Kuli System. Evaluate the level of comfort and ease of adjustment — all levers should be located intuitively so that you can easily reach them without getting up from the chair. When you go up, a good chair shouldn't squeak or wobble.
Our premium chairs are designed for maximum comfort and will make your work life more pleasant. Ergonomic chairs are the most versatile solution suitable for a wide range of users. Hopefully, our tips for choosing a premium office chair will help you find The One.
