The Office Chair Is Uncomfortable, What Should I Do?

You can’t let the environment adapt to people, you can only adapt to the environment yourself. The easiest way is to adjust the chair to a comfortable state

You can’t buy a chair yourself, but you can buy chair accessories, such as cushions, lumbar support, and neck pillows.

How to adjust the office chair? First adjust the desk to a suitable height according to the nature of the work. Different desk heights have different requirements for the placement of the chair;

Lower back: Put the hips close to the back of the chair, or put a cushion to allow the back to bend slightly, which can minimize the burden on the back. Don’t shrink into a ball in the chair when you feel tired, it will add to the pressure on the back of the lumbar and intervertebral disc;

Sight height: If the monitor position is too high or too low, the height of the office chair needs to be adjusted accordingly to reduce neck muscle strain. Close your eyes, and then slowly open them. It is best if your sight should fall in the center of the computer monitor;

Calf: With the hips close to the back of the chair, can the fist that bend down to make the clenched fist pass through the gap between the calf and the front of the chair. If it can’t be done easily, then the chair is too deep, you need to adjust the back of the chair forward, pad a cushion or change a chair;

Thighs: Check whether the fingers can slide freely under the thighs and at the front end of the chair. If the space is too tight, you need to add an adjustable footrest to support the thigh. If there is a finger width between your thigh and the front edge of the chair, raise the height of the chair;

Elbows: On the premise of sitting comfortably, the elbows should be as close as possible to the table to ensure that the upper arms are parallel to the spine. Place your hands on the surface of the desk and adjust the height of the seat up and down to ensure that the elbows are at a right angle. At the same time, adjust the height of the armrest so that the upper arm just slightly lifted at the shoulder.
