Ergohuman Environmental Product Declarations (EPD)

Mon, 21 Jul 2025 11:56:05 GMT

Comfort recognises that demonstrating the environmental impact of products is essential, and that Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are a necessity. This transparent, standardised data about our chairs' environmental footprint enables us to showcase our commitment to sustainability and meet growing regulatory demands.

That's why our Ergohuman Elite , Project Mirus , and Project Ergohuman office chairs now have Product Carbon Footprint Verification Statements under the internationally recognised ISO 14067:2018 standard.

This independent verification, conducted by global certification body SGS , confirms that the production processes for each chair meet strict environmental criteria, with all data assessed to ensure accuracy, transparency, and accountability. This cradle-to-gate certification encompasses the manufacturing journey from raw materials to finished product, underscoring our commitment to responsible sourcing and sustainable practices.

ISO 14067:2018 is the global standard for measuring the carbon footprint of products. It outlines how greenhouse gas emissions should be calculated throughout a product’s life cycle, ensuring that the results are consistent, credible, and meaningful. The environmental data behind our chairs has been verified to the highest standard.

As sustainability becomes more important, we recognise that our customers are seeking solutions that deliver high performance and environmental integrity. These certifications affirm our dedication to providing office furniture that supports healthier workplaces and a healthier planet.

Additional models in our range are currently undergoing the same testing, and we look forward to expanding our list of verified products in the months ahead. This is a significant milestone in our sustainability journey and just one of many steps we’re taking to lead the way in eco-conscious commercial interiors.

This environmental data will be added to our downloadable spec sheets for each model as they become available, and the SGS documents are available on request from your account manager.

How to adjust your ergonomic office chair

Thu, 03 Jul 2025 15:39:07 GMT

Comfort’s ergonomic office chairs offer exceptional adjustability for users with a diverse range of body types. With over a dozen adjustable features, the chairs – including Ergohuman , Mirus , and Enjoy – are suitable for home offices, or hot desking when people need to change the chair setup to accommodate different users.

Our chairs have been designed with straightforward controls and a wide range of positional settings to accommodate people of most anthropometric measurements. Setting the chair up correctly is crucial for reducing tension, pain, and pressure on the back, shoulders, neck, and thighs.

How to adjust our ergonomic office chairs

Comfort’s office chair range features over a dozen adjustable settings each. If your chair has a headrest, legrest, and coat hanger, you’ll find a total of 16 adjustments. Setting up the chair correctly ensures healthy posture and incredible comfort.

Adjusting the seat

Start by adjusting the seat height until your feet are flat on the floor, your thighs are parallel to the floor, and your knees form a 90-degree angle. To change the height, remain seated and lift the lever on the right of the chair to lower the seat. To raise it, take your weight off the chair and lift the lever.

Next, adjust the seat depth to fit the length of your thighs, leaving a 3 cm (or two-finger width) gap between the seat front and the back of your knees. Push the lever on the right of the chair forward while you're seated to slide the seat into position.

The seat tilt feature allows you to synchronise a forward seat tilt with the back of the chair, providing additional support to the thighs, lower back, and abdominal area when leaning into the desk. Push the lever on the left down at the front and lean back to release the forward seat tilt. Please note that this feature only works when the chair is in free-float mode. To lock the seat angle and back, return the right lever to the neutral position.

Adjusting the backREST and lumbar SUPPORT TENSION

To adjust the backrest, push the lever located on the right side backwards and lean back into a comfortable position. If you prefer to use the free-float mode, leave the lever in this position. Alternatively, return it to the centre to lock the backrest. We recommend using free-float mode to encourage dynamic movement during work. This mode facilitates micro-movements, which can help prevent prolonged stationary positions and reduce the risk of back discomfort.

Set the backrest recline resistance to your weight when using free-float mode. Rotate the long spindle on the right forward to increase the resistance and rotate backwards to reduce it. You should be able to sit in an upright position with support from the backrest, while also being able to recline by gently pressing back. This gives you balanced support.

Next, adjust the backrest height to ensure it aligns with the natural curvature of your spine and lumbar. The seat's curved lumbar should fit snugly against your lower back. Reach behind the chair and lift using the back bar. To lower the backrest, lift it to its highest point and then lower it to the bottom setting. You can slowly lift it to your desired position.

Finally, adjust the lumbar tension to fine-tune its pressure. Use the dial on the backrest (Ergohuman) or the knobs on the lower backrest (Mirus and Enjoy) to increase or reduce lumbar resistance.

Adjusting the 5D armrests

All our mesh office chairs feature 5D adjustable armrests. You can adjust their height, width, angle, depth, and tilt for your comfort. For the best posture, keep your elbows close to your body and your shoulders relaxed.

To adjust arm height, lift the armrests to your preferred position. To lower them, lift them to the top and lower before lifting them to your desired height.

To adjust the depth, slide the arm pads forward or backwards for customised support. Adjust the arm pads to change the width, ensuring your shoulders and arms sit naturally by your sides with your elbows close to your body.

Pivot the arm pads inwards or outwards to help position your shoulders, neck, forearms, and hands for mouse and keyboard work.

Tilt the armpads up for comfortable wrist support when using handheld devices or reading a book. Lift to the top angle to release, then return to its neutral position.

Adjusting the headrest

The angle and height of the headrests can be adjusted. To adjust the angle, pivot the headrest to support your neck and head, particularly as you recline. Lift or lower the headrest to comfortably fit into the curve of your lower neck.

Adjusting the legrest

Turn the wheels on either side of the legrest to release it. Lift the frame and unfold the mesh legrest. Elevating your legs is especially comfortable when reclining, as it helps maintain a healthy posture.

Using the coat hanger

The final customisable feature is the pop-up coat hanger. The coat hanger provides a safe and convenient place to hang your coat, ensuring it doesn’t compromise the chair's comfort or create a trip hazard. Lift the arms to pop the coat hanger up and press the button under the centre to drop them.

The simple levers on the Ergohuman office chairs

The Ergohuman office chairs are easily adjustable via a few simple controls. With an ingeniously straightforward design, the single lever control operates the three most frequently used chair functions: seat height, seat depth, and back tilt.

On the right, an extended tension lever rotates to set the backrest recline resistance. A separate dial on the backrest adjusts lumbar tension. On the left side of the chair, a simple tilt control operates the forward seat tilt.

There are four levers, dials, or controls in total, making it easy to remember. Everything else can be adjusted directly; for example, you can raise or lower the armrests to adjust their height.

The importance of ergonomic office chairs

An ergonomic office chair is a crucial investment for anyone who spends a few hours at a desk. Even if you don’t suffer back pain, ergonomic seating will reduce the chances of future aches and pain while ensuring you practice healthy posture.

From a business perspective, ergonomics improves workplace safety, increases employee happiness, and decreases worker compensation costs.

When investing in an ergonomic office chair like the Ergohuman Elite G2 , you must customise the settings to suit your anthropometric measurements. Otherwise, you may not experience the full benefits of its ergonomic design. Whether you’re setting up your chair for the first time or need to recalibrate it (in the event of hot-desking) regularly, it only takes a minute to achieve an entire day of sustained comfort and support.

Remote working for photographers with Ergohuman chairs

Thu, 03 Apr 2025 16:08:18 GMT

Every desk worker should have access to an adjustable and ergonomic chair — including professional photographers who may often be out and about on photoshoots, but also need desk time while processing their images.

We recently collaborated with the talented London-based photographer Octavian Lupu , who put an Ergohuman Elite G2 to the test. With advanced lumbar support, 5D adjustable armrests, free-float recline and a fold-out legrest, he found comfort at any angle for any task.

Being in a creative job, such as photography, involves a lot of time on your feet, on photoshoots, wandering around, looking for your next location, and experimenting with equipment. Outside of taking photos, much time is spent sitting at a desk, editing, emailing clients, and on phone calls.

Octavian Lupu wrote of Ergohuman : ‘Good gear makes all the difference’ and that the chair lets time flow effortlessly in complete comfort.

"Good gear makes all the difference."

The demands of desk work

Back pain is a risk of sitting at a desk for prolonged periods of time, even if it’s just for an hour or two per day. Remote workers, including photographers, are most prone to back, neck, and shoulder pain. A survey carried out in 2024 by market research company, Censuswide, of over 2000 people found that more than 20 per cent of remote workers suffer from pain daily.

It’s not the desk or the act of sitting down that’s the enemy; it’s how people use their equipment and break up their day. The two main issues with prolonged desk work are that people don’t take breaks often enough and that they aren’t using ergonomic office chairs, or they have one but don’t use it properly.

How Ergohuman chairs are designed for photographers

When designing Ergohuman chairs , especially the remastered Elite Generation 2 range, we crafted for comfort, no matter your job. One priority was ensuring the chair was suitable for people in creative jobs, such as photography.

Like photographer Octavian Lupu, our creative customers enjoy the chair’s aesthetic, reclining backrest, healthy posture support, and ease of use. Users can put the chair into free-float mode and lean back effortlessly when the task requires it. The optional legrest adds more comfort, especially when reclined.

Let’s look at the other features of the Ergohuman office chairs, including the Enjoy Elite and Mirus Elite , and how they are helpful for photographers and other creatives.

Automatic lumbar support system

All our ergonomic office chairs feature an advanced lumbar support system with bespoke comfort depending on the user’s height, weight, and preferences. Though this might feel intense initially, after a week or so, it should feel familiar and significantly more comfortable than other chairs you’ve tried.

The lumbar support system is also adjustable, so you can customise it to suit your needs and posture. Photographers will appreciate its flexibility, which ensures proper support even if you move around to reach for something, lean back, or turn to snap a quick photo.

Free-float recline mode

Ergohuman office chairs feature free-float recline mode, so you can lean back to around 50 degrees. The recline tension is adjustable so that it’s not too difficult or too easy to lean back, depending on your strength and weight. The lumbar support system will continue supporting you as you recline so your posture isn’t compromised. There are four lockable recline positions if you want to keep the backrest in one spot.

10-year warranty

Our office chairs are designed for heavy use. Each Elite G2 chair is certified for 24-hour use and warranted for 10 years, so you can use it every hour under the sun without worrying about anything going wrong. If you require a repair or replacement in the decade ahead, don’t hesitate to contact us .

Breathable mesh upholstery

Our office chairs are upholstered in a unique, sustainable mesh that adapts to the user’s body type and movements. With ten autoflex zones, you’ll experience perfect weight distribution and exceptional back support. The mesh is non-slip and non-abrasive, providing a soft and secure seating solution. On warm days, you’ll be grateful for the breathable mesh , which keeps you nice and cool. Available in six different colours, there’s something in our range for every style.

5D adjustable armrests

Photographers perform many different tasks throughout the working day. Our 5D adjustable armrests provide forearm, wrist, and shoulder support for every task at any angle. Users can adjust the height, width, depth, angle, and tilt to suit their work and preferences.

Optional headrest and legrest

A headrest and legrest can provide an extra layer of support, especially when reclining, offering full-body comfort. When taking a break from the screen or leaning back to call a client, the headrest and legrest make the seating experience even more comfortable.

Protecting your back, neck, and shoulders as a photographer

Being a photographer is an intense job that can involve a lot of strain on the body – it often requires a lot of physical activity, from adopting awkward postures to getting the best photograph and carrying heavy equipment. Photographers can do a few things to ease the strain: use a proper camera strap that evenly distributes weight; practice good posture; wear supportive shoes; use a tripod; hold the camera with both hands; take breaks; use a holster system.

When editing or working at a desk, here’s a complete guide of measures a photographer or creative person can take to avoid back, neck, and shoulder pain:

> Ergonomic chairs
A quality ergonomic chair with adjustable features offers personalised comfort.

> Correct set-up
Set your ergonomic chair up correctly to suit your anthropometric measurements.

> Take frequent breaks
Take a break from your desk every 30 or 40 minutes. Walk around, get a glass of water, or stretch for a minute.

> Adjust your monitor
To avoid neck strain, keep your monitor at eye level or about arm’s length away from you.

> Keep your feet flat
When working at your desk, keep your feet flat on the ground and your knees at a 90-degree angle to ensure healthy posture.

> Mouse and keyboard

Use an ergonomic mouse or pen tablet and a separate keyboard (don't hunch over a laptop).

> Standing desk
Consider a standing desk to break up long periods of sitting.

Ergohuman:
Made for photographers

Having the best camera equipment prepares you for a huge aspect of your photography career, but an ergonomic desk set-up keeps you comfortable and productive for the hours you spend sitting. Our office chairs are designed with creative people in mind, packed with features that make your daily work easier and more comfortable. From the advanced lumbar system to the 5D adjustable armrests, we’re here to keep you supported, happy, and healthy while you focus on what you love the most.

NEW: Project Enjoy G2 – The smart seating choice for your ergonomic office

beth@kwxholdings.com (Beth McCallum) — Wed, 19 Feb 2025 13:46:20 GMT

Simplicity, ergonomics, and affordability – the remastered Project Enjoy Gen 2 office chair is the ideal operator chair for large or small-scale office fit-outs. This ergonomic mesh chair offers a cost-effective option for installation projects and is the perfect seating solution for corporate offices and shift work environments because it’s quick and easy to adjust the chair to the next employee’s measurements.

ergonomic CHAIRS MAKE GOOD BUSIneSS SEnSE

Employee wellbeing refers to the overall health and happiness of an employee, including their physical, mental, emotional, and financial health. Comfortable desk working is a crucial factor in employee retention and productivity. The data reinforces just how important it is to provide employees with healthy seating and to ensure your organisation has a reputation for how it prioritises the wellbeing of its most valuable asset — its people.

Research on the impact of musculoskeletal issues makes for sober reading:

The Health and Safety Executive found that musculoskeletal disorders accounted for around one-third of all cases of self-reported work-related ill health to workers in Great Britain in 2023/24, making them the third-highest reason for lost days.
Research from the charity Versus Arthritis suggests that over 20 million people — around one-third of the UK population — live with an MSK condition.
The latest data from the Office of National Statistics (ONS) found that over 262,000 people in the UK reported having back and neck pain that forced them to leave work, and showed that 2.9 million people had problems linked to their back or neck, up from 2.6 million in 2019.
A comfortable, ergonomic set-up is a key factor in workplace satisfaction. According to Forbes , 93 per cent of tech industry workers state that they would stay at a job longer if the workspace has health benefits, which includes ergonomic workstations.
The Chartered Institute of Ergonomics & Human Factors reported that ergonomic interventions reduce lost workdays by 88 per cent and reduce staff turnover by 87 per cent. The Cost:Benefit ratio is about 1:1.78, with the money invested being earned back in less than five months.

Comfort Seating's ergonomic office chairs are specially designed and backed by science to alleviate discomfort and pain. Studies have found that ergonomic workstations are beneficial investments for businesses, fostering a more productive team, better staff retention, and higher outputs.

If you’re transitioning from remote to hybrid or in-office work, Project Enjoy G2 can help create a workspace that employees want to return to. Recommended by workplace assessors and ergonomists, this chair is designed to support productivity and well-being.

reMASTeReD FOR IMproVED PeRFOMANCE

Comfort Seating's Project Enjoy Generation 2 chair has been remastered to deliver even higher-performance ergonomics at an accessible price point. Our R&D team listened to customer feedback — although the previous model's auto weight mechanism provided convenience in multi-shift environments, users wanted more recline resistance control when using free-float mode. The new controls offer customised recline tension adjustment and fine-tuning of the lumbar tension for users who favour more aggressive lumbar support.

The newly introduced forward seat tilt feature offers an exceptional level of ergonomic functionality that is seldom seen in mid-budget office chairs. We have also reworked the pressure points along the seat's edge to improve blood-flow, simplified the chair's controls for intuitive use, and modernised the frame design for a more streamlined aesthetic.

Project Enjoy G2 is upholstered in our durable W-mesh , with multiple autoflex zones providing balanced support for the user's back, lumbar region, and posterior. A single lever easily operates seat height, seat slide, and backrest recline release and lock. A separate lever is provided for the new forward seat tilt feature, and the backrest height is easily set using a ratchet to lift and lower.

The Gen 2 model features enhanced armrest adjustment, now incorporating width adjustment along with height, depth, and angle adjustability. An optional height and angle-adjustable headrest is also available on request.

Choosing Project Enjoy G2

We recognise that durability and sustainability are important factors when deciding the best office chair for your organisation. Whether you’re a business owner, a facility manager, an interior designer, or an architect, when you choose Project Enjoy, you are investing in a 10-year warranty with replacement parts available at any time for years to come.

The Project Enjoy G2 is rigorously tested for 8-hour daily use for users up to 110 kg and meets BS EN 1335 .We offer continuity of supply, so you can quickly upgrade or repair your chair if necessary to ensure that your chair's life cycle is extended for as long as possible. And eventually, when your chair is at the end of its usable life, over 92% of its components can be recycled.

Stocked in black mesh, and available to order in blue, white, or grey, Project Enjoy is GREENGUARD Gold-certified , making it a stylish and sustainable choice for modern workspaces.

Office posture: practising healthy posture at your desk

Wed, 12 Feb 2025 17:55:05 GMT

You can have the most ergonomic desk set-up possible and still default to poor posture. Practising poor posture for long periods can result in serious health issues, including weakened muscles, pain, fatigue, incontinence, slowed digestion, headaches, and low mood, according to chiropractic physician Dr Murphy at Brown University ⁽¹⁾ .

The best investment you can make for your posture when you sit at a desk all day is a chair that allows you to sit upright but also enables you to recline with full back support. This type of ergonomic chair ensures you can practice dynamic seating and healthy posture without additional strain.

What is good posture, and why does it matter?

The position you hold yourself in while sitting, standing, or even lying down is important. Practising good posture allows you to move with little to no strain or pain. You might hear good posture described as having a straight back, with your shoulders pulled back and your tummy in. However, good posture goes beyond being upright all the time, as you will need to adopt different postures throughout your day, depending on your task.

Instead, a good posture is one that is safe, well-balanced, allows you to do your work easily, and does not cause damage or strain to your body. You’ll notice a posture is poor when it’s hard to hold it for a long time, it requires effort to remain upright, or it causes you to feel stiff.

Good posture is healthy posture. Without it, you may experience misalignment, a painful spine that is more prone to injury, neck and shoulder pain, poor balance, poor digestion, and it can even make it harder to breathe, as reported by MedlinePlus ⁽²⁾ .

There are two types of posture: static and dynamic. When you are seated, standing still or lying down, you are practising static posture. Dynamic posture is implemented when you’re moving: exercising, stretching, or just wandering around. However, in a good ergonomic office chair, you will be able to adopt both dynamic and static posture.

Practicing healthy posture in an office chair

When seated at a desk for part or all of your day, practising healthy posture is crucial. Not only will it reduce pain and strain, but it will free up your mind to focus on your work rather than the discomfort of sitting all day. The following practices will ensure a healthy and comfortable posture while you’re at your desk.

t he next posture is the best posture.

If you need to take a break from a static posture, using free-float recline mode, switching your desk to standing mode, or taking a short walk around the office is a great way to keep your body moving.

Common posture mistakes

Adopting bad posture is easy, but practising correct posture is so worthwhile. Below are some common posture mistakes that we see often:

Being sedentary

Our bodies want to move. Even though you work at a desk, it doesn’t mean you need a sedentary lifestyle. Remain active outside working hours and aim to move around every 20-30 minutes during your working day.

Hunching your shoulders

Once you hunch your shoulders, everything else follows easily. This posture curves the upper spine and pulls your head and neck forward and down. Instead, lengthen your spine and relax your shoulders.

Tilted pelvis

Often, people sit with their hips and pelvis tilted forward, misaligning them with the spine. This overexaggerates the curve of the lower back, which can tighten the back muscles and lead to musculoskeletal pain and issues.

Looking downwards

Looking down as you type, read or use a mobile device can quickly lead to bad posture and extra strain. Ensure that the top of your monitor is at eye-level height, and if you need to read something in a book or on your phone, lean back in your chair and position the armrests so that your forearms and spine are supported.

Poking chin

If your chair is too low and you need to lean in to see your screen, the chin pokes forward, which can put pressure on the spine.

Sitting oddly

When sitting for long periods, it’s instinctive to want to sometimes tuck your feet underneath your chair or even cross your legs. These positions put extra pressure on your back and hips. Try maintaining a 90-degree angle in the knees and arms for the best posture.

Sitting too straight

Adopting a military-style posture with your spine vertical and your chest forward also puts pressure on the spine. Aim to be ever so slightly reclined with proper lumbar support so gravity is on your side and your back feels gently supported.

Ignoring the core

Engaging your core muscles when sitting can support the spine, making it easier to maintain healthy posture. Outside of work, exercise the core muscles regularly to strengthen your body; this will make it easier to practice good posture.

Getting too comfortable

We know working from the bed or the couch is tempting if you’re a remote employee, but this is not good for your spine. Invest in an ergonomic office chair and sturdy desk, and you will experience transformative comfort.

The benefits of proper posture

We don’t recommend good posture because it looks good or professional. We recommend it because it’s the best thing for your back. Practising healthy posture has many health benefits that will make the time spent at your desk much more comfortable.

The most significant benefit is that it reduces back pain, especially lower back pain. A supported back and frequent breaks will take the pressure off your spine, including the intervertebral discs, ligaments, muscles, and facet points, according to Healthline ⁽³⁾ . It also reduces stress on the bones and joints, decreasing the risk of osteoarthritis, says Rush University Medical Centre ⁽⁴⁾ .

Practising good posture may also lead to fewer headaches due to decreased muscle tension. Maintaining good posture and incorporating stretches into your daily routine can have a positive effect on tension headaches and migraines.

Good posture can also improve energy levels, strengthen core muscles, help respiratory function, improve circulation and digestion, and boost your mood.

How Ergohuman office chairs can help your posture

Our mesh office chairs are designed to help you achieve and maintain a healthy posture. You must first set the chair up correctly according to your anthropometric measurements. Once done, ensure that you make subtle changes, like reclining when possible, to adopt a dynamic sitting position.

Incorporate frequent breaks into your routine. After a week or two, you should notice a significant difference in your comfort and your overall spine health.

The role of ergonomic office chairs in remote work success

Tue, 07 Jan 2025 09:42:49 GMT

Almost half of UK workers reported remote or hybrid working in the lead-up to January 2023 ⁽¹⁾ . This trend was brought on by the Covid pandemic, but for many workers, it is still the norm almost five years on.

With 44 per cent of workers operating on a hybrid working schedule and 16 per cent working only from home, a proper ergonomic set-up is crucial. A productive and healthy home office environment can lead to happier working, less discomfort, and even better results at work.

Ergonomic chairs, especially our mesh office chairs , are designed to suit remote workers and ensure more productivity. With ergonomic features and a design backed by science, explore how Ergohuman can transform the home working experience.

The science behind ergonomics and workplace health

According to the Collins Dictionary , the definition of ergonomics is 'the study of how equipment and furniture can be arranged in order that people can do work or other activities more efficiently and comfortably’. It's sometimes referred to as biotechnology or human engineering.

Researchers from The University of Indonesia reported that 70.5 per cent of respondents in a study on posture complained of musculoskeletal discomfort ⁽²⁾ . 86.4 per cent experienced neck pain, 75.9 per cent had lower back pain, and 76.2 per cent had shoulder pain. The main catalyst for this pain was poor posture, including sitting at a table, reclining on a sofa or bed, or sitting on the floor.

Research conducted by the Croatian Institute of Public Health also suggests that people who work remotely can aggravate musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) compared to those who work in an office ⁽³⁾ . Remote workers have increased pain in every area of the body as well as increased pain severity. This is due to many factors, including longer working hours, fewer breaks, increased working demands, prolonged computer exposure, and poor ergonomic solutions.

This is why it's essential to prioritise an ergonomic set-up when working from home.

The design of an ergonomic office chair

Comfort Seating's ergonomic office chairs' adjustable features make them excellent for remote working comfort, health, and success.

> Adjustable lumbar support

The adjustable lumbar support on our chairs is designed for healthy spinal alignment. The lumbar support system maintains the natural S shape of the lordotic curve. This allows you to sit in the best alignment position, which reduces stress on the spine and encourages good posture.

Once you fit the lumbar support to your spine's curve, you can then adjust the lumbar tension pressure to suit your weight and preference. The built-in flex also adapts to your movements, ensuring optimal comfort while at your desk.

> Adjustable seat height and depth

Ergohuman office chairs feature adjustable seat height and depth to ensure proper knee and thigh positioning. When adjusting seat height, ensure your feet are flat on the ground and adjust the seat until your knees are at a 90-degree angle.

When adjusting the seat depth, position the lumbar system first and sit back properly. Then, adjust the seat depth until there is a 2 cm gap between the back of your knees and the front of the chair seat. These adjustments ensure proper posture and healthy blood flow during long working days.

> 5D adjustable armrests

Our mesh office chairs feature 5D adjustable armrests. The flexibility is designed to reduce shoulder, neck, and arm strain. You can adjust the height, depth, width, angle, and tilt of the armrests, which makes them perfect for all kinds of tasks, including writing, typing, gaming, relaxing, or reading.

> Swivel and mobility

The office chairs feature a 5-star swivel base and free-float recline for excellent mobility throughout your working day. You can easily move throughout your home office, whether it's carpet or hard floor, to reach items nearby or take a break from your desk.

The free-float recline allows you to lean back effortlessly in your chair when you need to stretch, use a handheld device, or watch a video. The structure of the backrest means that even when you are reclining, you still experience complete posture support, especially if you use a headrest.

> Mesh fabric

Comfort's ergonomic chairs feature a unique, innovative mesh , made from 100% polyester for maximum strength and support. It's also comfortable, soft, and secure without being abrasive or slippery.

The breathable nature of the mesh means that it promotes good airflow, which reduces discomfort and excess heat build-up during prolonged sittings. If you work long hours and require support and comfort, a mesh office chair is an excellent solution.

How ergonomic chairs improve remote work productivity

UCAS reported that comfort while working or studying is vital ⁽⁴⁾ . Lecture hall seating specialists stated that when a person is comfortable, they will stay focused and motivated for longer. Seating that improves posture can also encourage movement and reduce the risk of injury.

When you're comfortable, you're less likely to be distracted by aches and pains, leading to better productivity and the absorption of information.

We believe that comfort is a necessity for remote working. Not only is it the healthy choice – as an executive chair can encourage good posture, blood flow, digestion, and minimise strain – but it can improve your approach to work. Those who sit in proper ergonomic chairs will experience enhanced focus, productivity, stamina, and energy.

Whether for a large or small home office, a high-quality office chair is a wise investment.

Recommendations for remote workers' home offices

Beyond having an ergonomic office chair, your work-from-home set-up should feature other ergonomic accessories. Ensure your desk is at elbow height while you are seated. Your forearms should rest comfortably parallel to the ground when typing. A height-adjustable desk is excellent for this.

Ensure your monitor is placed directly in front of you, about an arm's length away. The top of the screen should be just at or below eye level to avoid neck strain. If you're using two monitors, place them side by side at the same height to prevent frequent twisting of your neck. As for your mouse, position it close to the keyboard. Make sure it fits your hand comfortably to avoid wrist strain.

Consider natural light in your home office. Keep your desk near a window, but avoid glare on the monitor. Task lighting, such as an adjustable desk lamp, is helpful for keeping your area well-lit.

Other useful accessories include a laptop stand, a document holder, cable management, and good airflow to prevent fatigue from stale air.

Working FROM home in comfort

Ergonomic mesh office chairs are pivotal for remote work success. If you work at home for even one or two days a week, the Ergohuman Elite, Enjoy Elite, or Mirus Elite can make all the difference to your experience. Not only will you experience transformed comfort, but you may also experience improved focus and productivity.

Ergonomic chairs are designed to contribute to good health and productivity while maintaining a healthy posture and minimising strain. Invest in the right office chair to thrive in your remote work environment.

New study reveals how much sitting is too much

Mon, 18 Nov 2024 09:00:00 GMT

A new study published in the National Library of Medicine has revealed the risks of prolonged periods of sitting as well as standing ⁽ ¹ ⁾ . While the phrase ‘sitting is the new smoking’ has been trending for the past few years, it’s important to note that prolonged episodes of standing are also dangerous.

The key to good health is balance, varied activities, and switching up your posture. As experts in ergonomic furniture, we’ll reveal how our office chairs are designed to improve your health during the hours that you need to sit.

Key findings on sitting and standing time

The study, led by researchers at the University of Sydney and Amsterdam University Medical Center, used movement data from over 83,000 adults and found:

Sitting for more than 10 hours per day increased the risk of heart disease and circulation issues.

Standing for more than 2 hours per day raised the risk of circulation issues like varicose veins, but it wasn’t linked to heart disease.

Being stationary for over 12 hours daily (sitting and standing combined) also raised these health risks, especially due to prolonged sitting.

In summary, simply increasing standing time alone may not lower the risk of heart disease, but it could increase circulation problems. On the other hand, sitting too long is linked to higher risks for both heart and circulation issues.

What this means for office workers is that a standing desk may not solve all your health issues or dispel health concerns. Instead, regular movement and avoiding static positions are best. Switch between sitting and standing, but also incorporate stretching, exercising, and walks into your day to interrupt periods of stationary behaviour.

Why your office chair choice matters

Your choice of office chair matters now more than ever. With concrete evidence that remaining stationary for long periods is unhealthy, choosing an office chair that supports health is essential. A well-designed office chair, like the Ergohuman Elite , can reduce the health risks of prolonged sitting through its science-backed features.

Our Elite office chairs support natural posture to prevent slouching and improve circulation. When properly calibrated, the adjustable backrest and built-in lumbar support encourage healthy posture and reduce back pain, making it easy to remain in a neutral, upright position all day. This is also known as the neutral lordotic lumbar position.

Our chairs also feature a forward synchro seat tilt that allows you to align the seat tilt with the back of your chair while in free-float recline mode. This reduces pressure on the lower back and abdominal area. You can customise the chair to your needs, promoting a healthier posture and improving blood flow to the legs, back, and feet.

Our ergonomic mesh office chairs also encourage active sitting. The seat tilt feature and the free-float recline mode contribute to this. When your chair is in recline mode, you can easily lean back and forward as needed. Even this slight movement means that you aren’t completely stationary while at your desk.

The elastomeric mesh with ten autoflex zones also ensures healthy sitting as it responds to your micro-movements. If you are reaching for something nearby or turning around to chat with a colleague, the Elite office chair’s mesh will continue to support your body as you manoeuvre.

Our chairs also encourage healthy blood flow. The design of the chair and the release zones on the mesh encourage good blood circulation and reduce numbness and tingling, especially in the thigh and leg areas.

How to structure your workday for optimal health

Although our mesh office chairs are designed for healthy seating, it’s crucial to remain active throughout your working day.

Use a timer to break up sitting and standing intervals, aiming for 10-minute breaks every hour. If you use an Apple Watch, for example, it will notify you to stand in the last 10 minutes of every hour. This is a perfect time to walk around the office, fill your water bottle, or switch to standing mode at your desk.

On the topic of standing desks, even though they won’t cancel out your periods of sitting if you are to remain stationary, they are still a wise investment. Alternating between sitting and standing throughout the day is still a wise decision for your health. Incorporating an under-desk treadmill or moving a bit while standing is most beneficial as it prevents further stationary positioning.

Just be sure to take breaks from standing, too, as too much standing can lead to circulation issues and muscle fatigue.

As well as small, active changes throughout your working day, make sure you are leading a healthy lifestyle in general. Go on a walk during your lunch break, hit the gym after work, and remain active on the weekends.

Choose the right chair for healthy seating

Comfort’s range of comfortable office chairs , including the Ergohuman, Enjoy, and Mirus Elite, is designed to reduce the risks of prolonged sitting. Their ergonomic design, customisable support, and elastomeric mesh are excellent for those who spend hours at a desk each day.

Remember to break up periods of sitting with small bouts of movement. Even moving for 20 seconds here and there is useful.

The science behind an active lumbar support system

Thu, 14 Nov 2024 11:58:20 GMT

If you spend hours sitting in an office chair, quality lumbar support is critical. Lumbar support is a system or contraption that supports the lumbar region – or lower back – while you are seated in order to help you maintain a neutral spine and healthy posture. A good lumbar support system will reduce muscle pain, strain, and fatigue.

In the UK, 27 per cent of employees experience back pain, according to Simplyhealth ⁽¹⁾ . Nearly 19 million working days are lost due to physical health issues, with 8 million of these days attributed to back pain. With back pain leading to significant instances of absenteeism, back support is essential.

Choosing an ergonomic office chair with an advanced lumbar support system is recommended, as they are designed to alleviate back pain and musculoskeletal issues when used correctly and in conjunction with an active lifestyle.

the science of lumbar support

Let’s take a closer look at how a lumbar support system works for the human body.

> The anatomy of the lumbar spine

The lumbar spine comprises five large vertebrae in the lower back, which support the body's weight, protect the spinal cord, and contribute to a wide range of motion. The lumbar vertebrae are also the centre of your balancing, walking, running, and lifting abilities.

However, there are many things that can go wrong with this part of your body, including generic lower back pain, which can be caused by serious health conditions or, in many cases, back strain, which is often caused by poor posture ⁽²⁾ .

The lumbar spine naturally curves slightly inward, forming what’s known as the lordotic curve. This healthy curvature is vital for evenly distributing your body weight across the spine and maintaining healthy posture.

> How lumbar support works

Supporting the natural curvature of the spine is essential for back health. When seated for long periods of time, an effective lumbar support system helps to maintain the natural S shape of the lordotic curve, allowing the lower back to rest in the best alignment position. This reduces stress on the spine and promotes good posture.

Have you ever sat in a dining table for a while? Perhaps you’ve spent a few hours working there, especially when working from home became the norm. You’ll have noticed that it was hard to maintain an S shape in the spine, resorting to either an awkwardly upright position or, instead, slouching.

Our ergonomic office chairs , on the other hand, are built to support the back in a healthy position. Even if you begin to slouch, the lumbar support makes it easy to correct yourself.

The Ergohuman’s automatic lumbar support system is located within the height-adjustable backrest. Lift or lower the backrest height to align the lumbar bar with your spine's curve. Once set, you can adjust the lumbar tension pressure to suit your weight and preferences. The built-in flex also adapts to your movements, reducing discomfort while you work.

When the lumbar support system is correctly positioned, it aligns with the natural curve of the lower back, preventing the spine from flattening or slumping. Without this support, the spine can curve outwards, leading to a slouched posture. Slouching increases strain on the lower back and places extra pressure on the muscles, discs and nerves.

Our lumbar support also alleviates pressure on the spinal discs, which act as cushions between each vertebra. It also relieves pressure on the nerves in the lower back, which can otherwise become irritated or pinched, causing leg pain.

Lumbar support on Ergohuman office chairs

Our ergonomic office chairs feature automatic lumbar support systems to support the lumbar spine. The adjustable backrest height, seat depth, and lumbar tension all work together to provide optimal comfort for each individual’s weight, height, and preferences. If you’ve never experienced proper lumbar support before, it may feel unfamiliar to begin with, but hold steady – after a week or two, you should get used to the feeling, and you will experience sustained support and comfort.

The benefit of an active lumbar support system is that it is customisable to the individual. You can adjust it to suit your comfort and posture needs, which makes it ideal for those with specific lumbar support requirements. It’s also more flexible and adaptable, making it great for those who move frequently while seated.

Our lumbar support system is also designed to remain supportive and comfortable in our various recline positions. Keep the chair in free-float recline mode and experience easy rocking back and forth while the lumbar bar remains in a supportive position for your lower back. You can also lock the recline in any of four positions if you have a preferred spot.

For additional comfort while reclining, you may consider adding a legrest and headrest to your Elite office chair , as this helps maintain a neutral spine and reduces pressure on the lower back.

The Ergohuman, Enjoy, and Mirus Elite are all certified for BS 5459 , meaning they are suitable for up to 24-hour daily use. This certification marks our commitment to providing high-quality and ergonomically advanced seating solutions across our entire range. You can rest assured that our chairs have met the highest durability, safety, and performance standards. We back this with a 10-year warranty and free repairs or replacements if your chair is subject to any faults or defects that may affect your comfort and back support.

What is ergonomics? Its impact on comfort and productivity

Thu, 10 Oct 2024 10:11:18 GMT

Ergonomics, comfort, and productivity are all closely connected, with each one being essential in the modern workplace. With October being 'Ergonomics Month', it's a perfect time to bring attention to the importance of ergonomics. What is it? What types of ergonomics are there? Why are they important?

At Comfort Seating, nothing matters more to us than providing comfortable and supportive seating solutions to our customers. Designing ergonomic and adjustable office chairs is the foundation of our business, but it's essential that once the chair is in your space, you set it up correctly so that you can experience its ergonomic benefits.

Defining 'ergonomics': what does it mean?

In simpler terms, it's the study of the fit between people and their work, ensuring the users are put first, fitting the workstation to the person and not vice-versa. In a thorough ergonomic assessment , many things are considered, such as the furniture, but also the environment, the tasks, work arrangements, and the individual – including their anthropometric variations, health conditions, age, any disabilities, attitudes, mental health, and preferences.

The individual person is at the centre of an ergonomic assessment, making the set-up bespoke to them. People are at the core of the systems and technology used, so they must cater to their needs and tasks.

When assessing for ergonomics, the three main factors to consider include the force required to complete the task, awkward or static postures adopted, and repetitiveness of the task. These factors put somebody at higher risk of discomfort. The aim is to eliminate this risk with efficient, easy-to-use, and safe equipment.

The three main types of ergonomics

There are three types of ergonomics, all of which affect how people interact with their environment and how productive they are.

Physical ergonomics

Physical ergonomics is what likely comes to mind when you think of the term 'ergonomics'. The goal of physical ergonomics is to prevent injuries, strain, pain, and improve productivity. Physical ergonomics focuses on the relationship between a person's workspace and their body. A good ergonomic setup will reduce overexertion, repetitive movements, and poor posture.

This can be achieved with ergonomic furniture, such as office chairs , height-adjustable desks, footrests, efficient organisational setups, and monitor stands. Beyond desk jobs, this would include any tools and equipment used to do daily tasks.

Physical ergonomics must take into consideration the individual. For instance, the same office chair might not be suitable for someone who is 4'9" and someone who is 6'6". Therefore, the individual must be at the centre of the design to ensure they are safe, comfortable, and supported.

Cognitive ergonomics

Cognitive ergonomics aims to create a workspace that relieves mental load. A higher cognitive load negatively affects how someone does their job, perceives data, remembers things, reasons, and responds to their workload.

One example would be giving somebody instructions with visual steps rather than written so that they have an easier experience completing a task. User-friendly guidelines, brochures, and equipment all contribute to quality cognitive ergonomics.

Organisational ergonomics

Organisational ergonomics combines both physical and cognitive ergonomics to augment safety and efficiency across the entire organisation. How well is the structure of the company organised? This includes teamwork, communication, and output.

Good organisational ergonomics can be achieved through quality training, cloud-based storage, designated working times, team-building events, hybrid working, and enhanced manufacturing techniques.

The impact of ergonomics on comfort and productivity

The question of whether ergonomics can truly boost comfort and productivity is multi-faceted, but the answer is when done correctly, it should. Of course, there are many factors regarding whether employees are comfortable and productive, but ergonomics is essential.

Poor ergonomics is detrimental. It can lead to various health issues , including musculoskeletal (MSK) disorders, such as back pain, neck pain, tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, shoulder pain, and more.

From 2022 to 2023, the Health and Safety Executive found that 35.2 million days were lost due to work-related illness in the UK ⁽¹⁾ . 6.6 million of these were attributed to MSK disorders, making them the second-highest reason for lost days. Ten per cent of current UK employees live with an MSK condition.

Causes for work-related MSK conditions include lifting heavy items, long-distance driving, working with DSE (display screen equipment), and repetitive movement. The industries with the most cases of MSK disorders are agriculture, construction, health and social care, and transport and logistics. However, those who work stationary jobs are still very much at risk.

Quality ergonomic furniture – such as Ergohuman office chairs – is designed to provide comfort to the user, minimising the risk of MSK disorders. For example, Ergohuman office chairs are highly adjustable, ensuring each individual can tailor the chair to their anthropometric measurements. With an adjustable backrest height, seat depth, chair height, and lumbar tension, users can experience a significant comfort boost.

The main benefit of this comfort boost is, of course, the instantaneous relief on the body. However, from a company perspective, better comfort results in improved productivity. The Washington State Department of Labor & Industries reported, in a study of 4,000 users, that ergonomics reduced absenteeism by 75 per cent, error rates by 56 per cent, and improved time spent on tasks by 40 per cent ⁽²⁾ .

The Chartered Institute of Ergonomics & Human Factors reported that ergonomic interventions reduce lost workdays by 88 per cent and reduce staff turnover by 87 per cent ⁽³⁾ . The Cost:Benefit ratio is, on average, 1:1.78, with the money being earned back in just under five months.

Ergonomic workstations are designed for efficiency, meaning they’re an investment into a more productive team, better staff retention, and higher output.

The long-term effect of ergonomic office chairs

The importance of ergonomic office chairs goes beyond ticking a box for ergonomic assessments. For National Ergonomics Month, we want to focus on the benefits of ergonomic office chairs on the human body, the risk of work-related injuries, and workplace culture.

At Comfort, we have spent over two decades studying work environments and designing a chair that suits all kinds of spaces and tasks. Not only are our Elite office chairs perfect for commercial and home offices, but they are suitable for all types and modes of working, including creative jobs, surveillance jobs, healthcare roles, and much more.

The Ergohuman office chairs, including Enjoy Elite and Mirus Elite , are designed to support the human body in its most natural and comfortable positions. With over a dozen adjustable features, the chairs suit most anthropometric measurements and weights up to 150 kg. Individuals can adjust the backrest height, lumbar tension, armrests, seat depth, seat height, and much more to fit their preferences and daily tasks.

With proper posture, back, neck, and leg support, our mesh office chairs are designed to reduce the risk of musculoskeletal problems. We want you to be comfortable at work so that you can think less about pain and strain and more about your projects.

Finally, we wanted to provide an office chair that benefits workplace cultures, specifically how employees feel at work. According to the SHP, 40 per cent of workers don't feel mentally or physically supported by their employers ⁽⁴⁾ . However, the International Journal of Environment Research and Public Health reported that the more ergonomic a workspace is, the more satisfied workers are ⁽⁵⁾ .

Providing comfortable and supportive environments for employees is crucial for their happiness. Ergonomic furniture is one way to ensure employees feel appreciated. Long-term, ergonomic furniture is an investment in both employees' happiness, retention rate, and productivity. The International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health reported that the more ergonomic a workspace is, the more satisfied workers are ⁽⁶⁾ . Therefore, it is crucial to incorporate ergonomic furniture into the workplace design.

Enjoy and Mirus office chairs now BS 5459-certified

Thu, 03 Oct 2024 11:08:18 GMT

Enjoy and Mirus Elite office chairs have joined Ergohuman in being BS 5459-certified, marking a significant milestone for Comfort Seating. This certification proves our commitment to providing high-quality, ergonomically advanced seating solutions.

The Ergohuman Elite chair has previously carried this prestigious certification, and we continue to ensure that our chairs meet the highest standards for durability, safety, and performance.

BS 5459 is an important benchmark for office furniture as it proves the strength, stability, and durability of our chairs for extended use. This certification is relevant, especially for chairs that will be used in 24/7 environments, such as control rooms, surveillance stations, and hospitals. All three Elite models now meet the rigorous criteria that ensure comfort and safety in any workspace.

Why BS 5459 certification matterS

The BS 5459 standard involves stringent testing procedures to ensure our office chairs can withstand the stresses of continuous use over long periods. The chairs are subjected to fatigue tests, stability checks, and dynamic strength evaluations to ensure they maintain performance even after years of heavy use.

Extending the certification to our Enjoy and Mirus Elite chairs is a natural progression, especially as these chairs have been developed with the same focus on ergonomics, adjustability, and longevity. Whether you’re looking for 24-hour or general office use, the BS 5459 certification provides peace of mind that these chairs can meet the most demanding environments.

By expanding our range of BS 5459-certified chairs, we now offer a wider selection of seating solutions that meet the highest standards of durability and safety, catering to customers with specific needs for high-performance seating.

BS 5459-2 specifies performance requirements and test methods for the structural safety and stability of office pedestal seating when used by persons weighing up to 150 kg, or when used for up to 24 hours a day, including chairs for use with tables and desks higher than those specified in BS EN 527-1.

Creating productive offices and optimising workspaces

Wed, 11 Sep 2024 17:34:08 GMT

Cultivating a productive team should be one of the primary goals of any business. A dynamic team that is committed to yielding good results is essential for a business's growth. Creating a productive workspace for employees is an excellent way to ensure high performance.

Whether a business' employees work from the office, from home, or follow a hybrid schedule, there are many ways to design a workspace that ensures efficacy. Part of Comfort Seating's ethos is to monitor the effect a workspace has on employee performance, especially through the use of our comfortable office chairs. Compiled below are seven proven methods employers can implement to encourage productive offices and how to optimise workspaces effectively.

Ergonomic office chairs

Who knew that a chair could have such a huge impact on productivity? Ergonomic furniture, especially office chairs, is essential for comfort during long hours at a desk. Especially as people age, proper back support is key to comfortable sitting.

The Ergohuman range of office chairs is designed for home and corporate offices. With adjustable seat height, 5D armrests, lumbar support, free-float recline mode, and adjustable backrest height, the chairs support the user from top to tail.

Ergonomic office furniture is important because it reduces stress on the body. When an employee is comfortable and less distracted by pain, they can focus more on their work. A study by the Washington State Department of Labour and Industries discovered that ergonomic workspaces reduced lost workdays by 75 per cent ⁽¹⁾ .

A truly ergonomic chair should include, at minimum, an adjustable height, backrest, tilt, 5-star feet with castors and gliders, and a footrest if required. It should be in good condition, support the natural S-shape of the spine, and be appropriate for the task and environment.

Explore the Ergohuman Elite , Mirus Elite , and Enjoy Elite office chairs to explore what would work best in your environment.

Natural light

Natural light is important when designing workspaces, whether for the home office or corporate. A study conducted by Alan Hedge, a Cornell professor, found that offices with daylight reported 84 percent fewer symptoms of eyestrain, headache, and blurred vision, all of which decrease productivity ⁽²⁾ .

Natural light also keeps employees more alert, with reports stating a 10 per cent decrease in drowsiness. Those who sat near a window with access to daylight reported a two per cent increase in productivity. This may sound small, but this is a £1.5 million company increase for the lifetime of the window.

Tune into the ultradian rhythm

Focusing for eight hours straight does not contribute to good productivity, nor is it humanly possible. The best thing we can do to foster a productive workspace is to encourage employees to take regular breaks. Researchers have noted something called the 'ultradian rhythm', which is the body's ability to follow a 90-minute rhythm during the day ⁽³⁾ . During this time, humans shift from high alertness to low every 90 minutes. It's clear when the 90 minutes is up because the body will start to become hungry, drowsy, unfocused, or restless.

Flexible working hours are key to productivity, as the body isn't designed to focus for eight hours straight. Instead, employers should concentrate on how much work your employees achieve, rather than how many hours they work. Encourage them to take regular mental breaks, such as setting a timer every 90 minutes for a 15-minute break. This is achievable when employees are in the office or when working from home, ensuring flexible workspaces no matter their location.

Writing to-do lists

You can invest in fancy desks or expensive lighting to increase productivity in the office, but a simple to-do list will also work wonders. The National Library of Medicine published a report stating that planning tasks with a to-do list reduces the 'executive burden on the brain by freeing [it] from having to worry about unfinished tasks' ⁽⁴⁾ .

Employees are more productive when they have a to-do list and are able to tick things off early in the day so they can confidently move on to the next tasks. Another beneficial method is to split the to-do list into tasks that are urgent or not urgent or breaking tasks down into smaller ones.

Limit distractions

Research from RescueTime, a productivity software provider, reported that the average digital worker is distracted every six minutes ⁽⁵⁾ . They will typically check their email or texts every six minutes, which interrupts their workflow and focus. They also reported that 40 per cent of knowledge workers never get 30 minutes of consecutive focus time during their working day.

One of the most important actions for creating a productive workspace is limiting distractions. Distractions in the workspace can be anything from a nuisance to dangerous, depending on the line of work. It's crucial for employers to contribute to a working culture that limits the number of distractions. Encourage staff to focus on single tasks at a time and enter a workflow that allows them to complete jobs without being interrupted.

Collaborative meetings

The Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM) reported that people with a hybrid working routine were the most productive ⁽⁶⁾ . One such reason for this is that going into the office and collaborating with colleagues can contribute to productivity long-term.

Michaela Schippers, a professor of behaviour and performance management, found that teams who met regularly were more productive and more likely to find solutions to problems compared to groups who did not prioritise check-ins ⁽⁷⁾ . The purpose of these check-ins should be to brainstorm how the team can improve and find innovative resolutions for ongoing challenges.

Declutter the workspace

Princeton University Neuroscience Institute found that visual clutter can decrease productivity ⁽⁸⁾ . It is essential to maintain a clean, tidy, and organised office space to ensure your employee's productivity. Visual clutter competes with your brain and fights for your intention, exhausting cognitive functions.

The study found that the brain isn't good at 'blocking clutter'; the brain will push towards desired objects and pull from objects that compete for attention. The more clutter there is, the harder it is for the brain to focus on work, leading to decreased productivity and performance.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS about productive workspaces

Designing workspaces for quality work

A productive workspace does not mean that employees fly through their tasks and complete projects at lightning speed. It means that they can enter a healthy workflow without additional distractions or stress while producing high-quality projects and yielding good results. It's essential for employers to prioritise designing a productive workspace, whether that be through ergonomic furniture, minimal distractions, encouraging meetings, or an organised space.

Dynamic and active working: what is it and why does it matter?

Wed, 11 Sep 2024 12:30:51 GMT

Dynamic and active working are buzzwords within the ergonomic industry. They represent an important shift to healthier and more flexible working. Supported by decades of scientific research, ergonomists are passionate about dynamic and active working due to the benefits it brings to employees, including increased productivity, improved well-being, and reduced absenteeism.

What is dynamic and active working?

The term ‘dynamic working’ encompasses multiple working arrangements, including the flexibility of working location, working pattern, and movement while working. A flexible working location in a dynamic business allows employees to alternate where they work, whether from the office, home, coffee shops or within different areas of the corporate office.

Dynamic working hours enable employees to adjust the times they work within an agreed scope to accommodate their personal and business needs while ensuring that the total hours worked align with their contract. This flexibility allows them to attend appointments, manage family commitments, and work during their most productive hours.

Dynamic movement while working – or active working – involves integrating physical activity into one’s working day. This is especially important in industries where employees spend most of their time at a desk. Employers should promote an environment where staff members are not confined to a static for extended periods. Instead, employees should have the freedom to move around, adjust their posture regularly, and take frequent breaks.

This doesn’t have to mean that employees are idle during working hours. There are many ways to incorporate dynamic movement into the working day, including the following:

Dynamic office chairs

Dynamic seating is crucial as it prevents static posture during desk work. A dynamic office chair, such as the Ergohuman Elite , allows users to achieve a comfortable position and incorporate movement during long periods of sitting, which can prevent stiffness and pain.

Ergohuman office chairs are designed with elastomeric mesh featuring ten autoflex zones that respond to the user’s micro-movements. When reaching for an item across the desk or turning to chat with a colleague, the chair’s unique mesh will continue to support the user as they manoeuvre. The chairs also feature a 5-star base with gliding castors suitable for hard flooring and carpet, ensuring easy movement around the office space.

A quality ergonomic office chair should also encourage a neutral spine. The neutral lordotic lumbar position – easily achieved when standing – is the healthiest position to be in, but standing for too long can quickly lead to muscle fatigue and it’s not possible to remain standing all day if you have a desk job.

It’s important to alternate between sitting and standing, but it’s also important to choose an office chair that supports the neutral lordotic lumbar position. The Ergohuman office chairs all support a neutral spine when the backrest height and lumbar tension are correctly calibrated.

Sit-stand desks

Sit-stand desks are also excellent for encouraging dynamic working. The best posture is the next posture, meaning a balance between sitting, standing, and moving is the healthiest approach.

The British Heart Foundation recommends sitting for no longer than 30 minutes at a time ⁽¹⁾ . It’s important to set a reminder to walk around or stand for five minutes every half an hour.

To remain in a workflow and avoid unproductivity, a sit-stand desk is ideal. Users can raise the desk to a standing position and work from here for their desired length of time before resuming a sitting position. This prevents a static posture and ensures long-term comfort for employees.

Avoiding long periods of sitting also lowers the risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and death from all causes, even if you do not have pre-existing health conditions.

Dynamic meetings

An easy way to incorporate active working into a busy schedule or tighter budget is to keep moving during the day. Without compromising workflow, employees can take phone calls while walking around the office, organise walking meetings, or cycle or run to and from work.

Another great hack for incorporating more movement into the working day is to fill up a small cup with water rather than a large water bottle, as this forces employees to get up more frequently to refill it. Also, consider having a communal bin for rubbish rather than an under-desk bin to encourage employees to walk around sporadically during the day.

Why active working is critical in business

Ergonomists assert that active working is critical and encourage businesses and employers to have policies on active working to ensure their staff can move throughout their working day.

When a company undergoes an ergonomic assessment, the opportunity for active working is one of the most important things they will consider. They will analyse the workstation to assess risks, determine if employees are encouraged to take breaks and if they actually take them, assess whether employees switch up their work activities to avoid static seating and ensure employees have appropriate desks and office chairs that encourage active working.

Beyond the mentioned benefits, active working also ensures employees' health, which is required under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 . The law requires that employers must ensure, so far as reasonably practicable, the health, safety, and welfare of all employees. Since sedentary working has many health risks, ensuring active and dynamic working is a reasonable goal for all businesses.

Humans are designed for activity. That’s how our skeletons are built. Our bodies are not made for long periods of sitting or leaning forward, which is how many people sit in their chairs.

We’re not designed to stand for long periods either; we’re designed to move around and switch up our positioning while maintaining a neutral posture. Static postures constitute a significant risk factor when working with display screen equipment. Therefore, employers must encourage movement, healthy posture, and active working.

How Ergohuman office chairs encourage active working

Ergohuman office chairs are engineered to promote healthy seating and active working. Many details have been considered in creating these office chairs to ensure that they encourage a neutral posture as well as allow for dynamic movement during long hours of desk work.

While the team at Ergohuman still advises taking short breaks every 30 to 60 minutes or utilising a sit-stand desk, choosing an Elite office chair offers additional benefits by encouraging good health while you’re seated. The features that encourage active working include:

> Free-float recline mode

The backrest on the Elite chairs tilts back over 40 degrees with a synchronised mechanism and tilt tension control. This encourages active working by allowing the user to lean back and forward easily while maintaining a neutral spine and reducing static sitting.

> Elastomeric mesh

The flexible elastomeric mesh dynamically adjusts with the user’s movements. With ten individual flex zones – six in the backrest and four in the seat – the chair encourages continuous movement and support, so the user is never fully static while seated.

> 5-star base

A 5-star swivel base allows users to move freely and reach different areas of their workspace without unnecessary strain or stiffness.

> Adjustable seat height and depth

The adjustable seat height and depth should be adjusted once to suit the user’s anthropometric measurements. When adjusted correctly, the user can shift their posture easily and practice comfortable movement while remaining supported. For instance, when these two features are correctly calibrated, if the user finds themselves adopting poor posture, they can easily resume a neutral posture since the lumbar support system is in the correct position.

> Lumbar support

Ergohuman chairs feature an automatic lumbar support system with adjustable tension. This feature encourages comfort while making it easy to switch postures or incorporate micro-movements without experiencing strain.

> Multi-directional armrests

The 5D armrests have adjustable height, width, depth, angle and tilt to encourage active use of the arms and shoulders, reducing strain and promoting movement in the upper body areas.

> Forward seat tilt

Forward seat tilt encourages adaptable sitting as it is supportive of various working postures. This is useful for tasks that require leaning forward, such as typing or reading.

Professional ergonomic assessments: an office perk

Tue, 30 Jul 2024 09:01:22 GMT

Remote work became a necessity and, for some, a delight during the pandemic. It offered a better work-life balance, saved people time commuting and, for many people, enhanced productivity. However, the statistics around whether working from home is beneficial are muddy. Many factors are at play, including the home office set-up, whether the employee enjoys the job, and the distractions at home.

The Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM) found that those with a hybrid working routine experience the best productivity ⁽¹⁾ . There's no doubt that remote working is an excellent option to offer employees, but many employers are seeking to encourage a return to the office.

One way to encourage more people to come into the office is to offer a unique advantage: professional ergonomic assessments. These assessments, conducted by trained specialists, ensure optimal comfort and efficiency in the workplace that employees wouldn't otherwise experience at home.

By investing in ergonomic solutions, employees demonstrate their commitment to their employee's well-being while developing a more appealing office environment. Discover how offering professional ergonomic assessments can improve productivity, prevent workplace injuries, and motivate employees to make their office return.

UNDERSTANDING ERGONOMIC ASSESSMENTS

An ergonomic assessment of a workplace, sometimes referred to as an ergonomic risk assessment, is a process in which a specialist evaluates a workplace to calculate the risk of musculoskeletal disorders and physical injuries. The ultimate goal is to ensure an employee's workstation contributes to well-being, productivity, and comfort. The evaluation focuses on the physical setup and how it interacts with an individual's work habits and physical needs. The key elements considered include:

Workstation setup

This includes the arrangement of desks, office chairs , monitors, keyboards, and other office equipment to ensure each piece is positioned to promote a natural posture.

Posture analysis

Specialists observe and correct the employee's posture while sitting and working. Healthy posture is crucial for preventing musculoskeletal disorders and improving overall comfort.

Equipment recommendations

Ergonomic assessors may recommend specific adjustments or new equipment to create a more user-friendly and health-conscious work environment.

Behavioural adjustments

Beyond physical changes, ergonomic assessors often give advice about healthy work habits and behaviours, including the suggestion of taking regular breaks, stretching exercises, and proper techniques for repetitive tasks.

By undergoing an ergonomic assessment, the specialists help to create a workspace that minimises physical strain and maximises efficiency. The benefits include reduced risk of injury, improved posture, enhanced comfort, and greater productivity.

For employers, providing professional ergonomic assessments demonstrates a commitment to employee health and safety. Not only does this help retain top talent, but it encourages remote workers to return, knowing their work environment is tailored to their needs.

Benefits of a workplace assessment

Ergonomic assessments go beyond a cursory glance at the workstation. Specialists conduct thorough evaluations and consider various elements, including desk height, chair support, monitor placement, and lighting. They ensure that every aspect of the work environment supports proper ergonomics.

Healthy Work, a provider of ergonomic assessments, finds that by addressing ergonomic issues proactively, specialists can help prevent common workplace injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, back pain, and eye strain ⁽²⁾ . This benefits employee's health while reducing absenteeism and healthcare costs for employers.

When a workstation is ergonomically optimal, employees experience enhanced comfort, reduced fatigue, and better focus on tasks. When an employer shows commitment to their employees' job satisfaction, employee morale and retention rates improve.

According to the SHP, a shocking 40 per cent of workers don't feel that their employer supports their physical and mental well-being ⁽³⁾ . Improving this is crucial, as the International Journal of Environment Research and Public Health published findings that the more ergonomic a workspace is, the more satisfied workers are ⁽⁴⁾ .

THE HOME OFFICE CHALLENGE

Many offices and employers have partnerships with ergonomic specialists or in-house experts who can evaluate a workspace periodically, ensuring ongoing comfort. When people work from home, they cannot access these same high-quality and important assessments. Instead, they might rely on generic advice or self-assessment. They could hire an ergonomic consultant privately, but the high cost may be off-putting.

Beyond that, investing in ergonomic furniture and equipment – such as ergonomic chairs, adjustable desks, and proper lighting – is expensive. Without employer support or reimbursement, many remote workers find themselves in an uncomfortable and unsupportive workspace.

According to The Home Office Life, only 28 per cent of remote workers work from their studies ⁽⁵⁾ . The other 72 per cent work from their living room, bedroom, dining room, hallway, and bathroom, where a truly ergonomic set-up is nearly impossible.

Findings by Justine M. Y. Chim – a Certified Professional Ergonomist – and Dr Tien-Li Chen – a professor at the National Taipei University of Technology in Taipei – report statistics on home workstation setups:

32.8 % work in the living area ⁽⁶⁾ .
40.9 % work at a dining table.
34.1 % use a dining chair.
20 % do not use a proper chair; instead, they use a bench with no back support, a folding chair, a sofa, an armchair, or a child-sized chair.
4.3 % work on the floor or their bed.
Only 12.9 % of remote workers use desktop monitors as display screens.
61.2 % of remote workers reported musculoskeletal discomfort.
Remote workers who used a chair without a backrest or sofa were 2.8 times more likely to suffer from musculoskeletal discomfort.

Poor ergonomics can have serious long-term consequences. Without an adequate ergonomic chair, a desk that is correctly suited to the worker, and proper monitor positioning, workers can experience a range of health issues. This includes musculoskeletal disorders, chronic back pain, and repetitive strain injuries. Not only can this affect well-being, but it can also lead to decreased productivity and increased absenteeism.

HOME OFFICE Vs. OFFICE: COMPARISONS

Forbes reports that flexible and hybrid working is the key to optimal productivity. Workers with full-schedule flexibility are 29 per cent more productive and 53 per cent more focused than people who cannot adjust their schedule ⁽⁷⁾ . A two-year survey conducted by Great Place to Work found that remote working during the pandemic boosted productivity by 6 per cent on average. On the other hand, remote working isn't suitable for everyone. For instance, a University of Chicago research paper found that 14 per cent of respondents were less productive when working from home ⁽⁸⁾ .

A hybrid working schedule is best, as it offers different benefits to individuals. For instance, those who work in call centres take fewer sick days because they can still complete their job at home while feeling under the weather. However, going into the office is greatly beneficial for some people due to the following reasons: it prevents loneliness and isolation; it encourages networking; it helps employees understand the brand they work for; employees have access to the right equipment; it can improve work-life balance; and it's easier to schedule meetings.

A Nature editorial reports that hybrid workers have the best job satisfaction, lowest resignation rates, and best productivity rates ⁽⁹⁾ . With so many people wanting to work from home, though, how do you encourage more people to return to the office? One key component is comfort.

Encouraging office return with comfort and ergonomics

Ergonomic office setups play a crucial role in employee retention, with 93 per cent of tech industry workers reporting that they would stay longer in a job if a healthy workspace is provided ⁽¹⁰⁾ . This includes various options, including sit-stand desks, ergonomic seating, and wellness rooms. A Gallop poll found that 61 per cent of job candidates look for a workplace that cares about their well-being ⁽¹¹⁾ .

With a heightened sense that an employee cares for their staff's well-being, satisfied employees are likely to remain with their employees for longer. Moreover, ergonomic interventions reduce the chance of musculoskeletal disorders, a common cause of workplace absenteeism. Fewer sick days result in more consistent staffing, better turnover, and overall organisational stability.

Creating an ergo nomic office can encourage employees to return to the office. The setup should include:

Adjustable desks

Sit-stand desks allow employees to switch between sitting and standing, which can reduce discomfort, improve posture, and encourage better blood flow.

Ergonomic office chairs

Chairs with adjustable height, lumbar support, and armrests – such as Ergohuman Elite – make working from the office much more comfortable. Such chairs support proper posture and reduce back strain.

Keyboard trays

Adjustable keyboard trays ensure the keyboard and mouse are positioned comfortably, reducing strain on the wrists and shoulders.

Monitor stands

Adjustable monitor stands or arms allow employees to position screens at eye level, reducing neck and eye strain.

Footrests

Adjustable footrests support proper leg positioning and encourage good posture, especially when employees are seated for long periods during the working day.

Task lighting

Proper lighting, including adjustable desk lamps with glare-free features, can reduce eye strain and improve visibility.

Ergonomic mouse

An ergonomic mouse designed to fit the hand comfortably can reduce strain and prevent repetitive stress injuries.

Noise-cancelling headphones

High-quality headphones can help employees focus by reducing ambient noise and enhancing concentration and productivity, especially in busy, high-traffic offices.

Break areas with comfortable seating

Providing lounge furniture in break areas allows employees to recharge and relax in a comfortable place.

By investing in these ergonomic features and furniture, companies strive to create a more comfortable and supportive work environment. As a result, this can motivate employees to commute into the office and it can improve overall job satisfaction.

Discover an ergonomic office chair designed for long work hours

Wed, 10 Jul 2024 17:41:10 GMT

If you have a job that keeps you at your desk all day, you're likely familiar with the pain and strain associated with sitting for long hours.

If you have a job that ties you to your desk, you might experience tension in your back, neck, shoulders, and eyes as you focus on your screen. According to the NHS, most adults in the United Kingdom spend around nine hours each day sitting ⁽¹⁾ . This includes doing desk work, sitting in the car, or watching television.

Sitting can lead to a slower metabolism, weaker muscles and bones, increase the chance of type 2 diabetes, some types of cancer, and early death.With this in mind, we now know that it is crucial to minimise the amount of time spent sitting. If you have a desk-based job, this can look like incorporating exercise into your daily routine, using a standing desk, and taking breaks from your office chair.

Research published in the National Library of Medicine proves t hat desk workers greatly benefit from a proper ergonomic office chair. An ergonomic chair, backed by science, is adjustable and designed to offer the healthiest seating solution for interacting with a task. It's about adjustability, shape, and movement.

Chairs that alleviate strain on the neuromuscular sy stem can help prevent pain an d discomfort ⁽²⁾ . The best type of office chair has an adjustable seat height and seat pan depth so that users can match the chair's dimensions to their anthropometric measurements. Ergohuman office chairs go far beyond that.

If a chair is improperly adjusted or not ergonomic, its dimensions will not allow each user to practice healthy posture. This lack of support can quickly lead to abnormal strain, pain and discomfort.

For businesses, investing in ergonomic office chairs, like the Ergohuman Elite, has many long-term benefits. In fact, musculoskeletal issues are responsible for about one-third of the injuries that lead to absenteeism. Ensuring that each employee has access to a supportive and comfortable office chair can reduce absenteeism in the workplace and cut costs.

The importance of an ergonomic office chair

While it's important to incorporate movement into your daily routine, many jobs are primarily done from a desk. To reduce the concerns about the negative impacts of prolonged sitting, Comfort has engineered ergonomic office chairs that deliver a healthy seating experience.

A properly adjusted chair will fit your anthropometric needs perfectly, minimising strain, protecting your joints, and ensuring comfort while you work ⁽³⁾ .

With a genuinely ergonomic chair, such as the Elite range of mesh office chairs , each user is able to customise the adjustments to suit their specific body, height, and weight requirements. These changes will promote healthy posture, improve comfort, and enhance well-being while at work. In turn, they will reduce neck strain, back pain, muscular issues, and eye strain. You may also find that without the distraction of discomfort, employees are less tired, happier, and more productive.

Whether in a corporate environment or working from home, an ergonomic office chair is essential for working long hours.

Features of the Ergohuman office chair that help with WORKING long hours

When you spend prolonged hours seated, your health and well-being should be a priority. The Elite range of mesh office chairs boasts many features that help users maintain physical comfort.

Adjustable seat height

Research from Sjan-Mari van Nieker, professor of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Sciences, fou nd that adjustable seat height is one of the most important features of a desk chair for those who sit all day. Making this basic adjustment allows users of varying heights to find the most comfortable position.

Once the seat height is adjusted correctly so that the user's feet are comfortably flat on the ground, users can practice proper posture, ensure their hips and pelvis are aligned, improve circulation, and reduce fatigue over extended periods of time. The seat height on the Elite office chairs is adjustable from 500 to 600 mm.

HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE BACKREST WITH BUILT-IN LUMBAR SUPPORT

Comfort's ergonomic office chairs feature an adjustable lumbar system which supports the natural curve of the lower back, preventing slouching and reducing strain on the spine. You can adjust the back height of the chair to align the lumbar curvature perfectly with your spine's natural shape.

The chairs also feature adjustable lumbar tension so you can fine-tune the amount of support provided to the lumbar region. Good lumbar support is necessary for those who spend a lot of time in their office chairs, as it helps maintain the natural spinal curvature, reduces lower back pain, and encourages dynamic sitting.

Adjustable seat depth

A chair with adjustable seat depth ensures even weight distributio n and healthy blood flow for different thigh lengths. The seat depth range on the Elite office chairs is 490 mm with a 50 mm adjustment option.

Each seat has four unique autoflex zones, including a thigh soft zone, a thigh support zone, and two pressure release zones to prevent leg numbness. Adjusting the seat depth ensures that everyone can prevent pressure from the backrest on the coccyx area, reduce compression of the gluteus maximi, and align the different pressure zones with the correct part of their legs.

Forward seat tilt

Forward seat tilt supports the user in adopting an optimal, neutral posture. When seated with feet flat on the floor, the pelvis slightly tilted forward, and thighs angling gently downward from the hips to the knees, the spine aligns directly over the pelvis. This posture reduces strain on the lower back joints and keeps the spinal discs in their natural, centred position, promoting back health and minimising the risk of injury.

Reclining backrest with tilt tension

The reclining high back on the Ergohuman Elite allows you to lean back, reducing pressure on your spine while keeping proper posture. Our mesh office chairs all feature free-float recline mode so you can experience the best ergonomic comfort. The more you move, the less stiff you feel at the end of the day. The chair's supportive backrest mitigates spinal pressure usually associated with reclining on a chair without proper support.

However, you can lock the chair in any of the four positions if you have a preferred position. The chairs also feature tilt tension, so you can calibrate the resistance of the backrest recline to your weight. When set up correctly, you should feel your back is supported in an neutral upright position without the chair pushing your forward, and require a little pressure as you lean back to trigger the recline motion.

Adjustable armrests

Adjustable armrests reduce strain on the shoulders and neck by supporting your arms in a comfortable position. Our armrests go beyond the standard adjustments. With five adjustable options, you can control the armrest height, and armpad angle, depth, width, and tilt. This multi-dimensional flexibility ensures adequate wrist and arm support whether you're typing, writing, reading, gaming, or holding a handheld device.

Mesh upholstery

Our ergonomic office chairs are upholstered in a unique, eco-friendly mesh designed to adapt to any body type. With elastomeric and breathable qualities, the chair features ten mesh autoflex zones for strategic weight distribution to reduce or remove pressure on the thighs, pelvis, coccyx, lower back, upper back, shoulders and neck.

This innovative feature delivers a comfortable, supportive, and secure seating experience, which is essential for reducing pressure on your back and posterior.

Optional headrest and legrest

Finally, the office chairs all come with the option of an integrated headrest and legrest. These offer additional comfort to the neck, head, and leg regions. They're especially useful if you spend a lot of time reclined in your office chair as they provide full-body support and help maintain a neutral spine in any position.

How to stay healthy while working a desk job

If you work a desk job, the health implications associated can be overwhelming, but there are many things you can do to stay healthy. One thing you can do is counteract the amount of time seated with exerc ise. Dr. Edward Laskowski reports that 60 to 75 minutes per day of moderate to intense physical activity can counter the effects of prolonged periods of sitting ⁽⁴⁾ . For instance, you could head to the gym before work and take a 30-minute walk on your lunch break.

Our chairs are so comfortable that you forget you're sitting. However, we, alongside PhysioMed, do re commend taking a break from your chair every 20 to 30 minutes ⁽⁵⁾ . Go on a five-minute stroll or do some stretches, whether you're in the office or working from home. Other things to try include:

Standing while talking on the phone.
Utilising a sit-stand desk.
Walking through the office with colleagues rather than meeting at a conference table.
Using a walking pad beneath your standing desk.
Practicing good posture.
Taking a break from screen for 20 seconds every 20 minutes by looking at something 20 feet away.
Adjusting your desk and office chair to fit your measurements.
Taking the stairs instead of a lift or escalator.

How long should you sit in an ergonomic office chair?

There's an art to healthy sitting. The optimal sitting position requires a neutral spine with feet flat on the floor, knees hip-width apart, and proper arm posture. While seated in your office chair, adjust the seat height while your feet are flat on the floor and find your leg's 90-degree angle.

You should also adjust the seat depth. Slide the seat forward and backward until there is a 2 cm gap between the back of your knees and the front of the seat.

Next, set up the lumbar support. Sitting on the chair, put your hands on your hips and rotate them as far forward as possible. Then, rotate the pelvis as far backwards as possible. The middle point is your neutral position, and it's best to be slightly more forward than in the neutral spot. Holding this slightly forward position, adjust the lumbar support to align with your lower back.

It has often been claimed that an upright 90-degree sitting position is best ⁽⁶⁾ . However, when you sit upright and your work is in front of you, you inevitably end up leaning forward into what is coined by Dr. Alan Hedge — an ergonomics professor at Cornell University – the 'turtle position'. When leaning forward, you double the compressive forces on your lower back and increase neck strain. Instead, you should be in the most relaxed position while you are working. This usually means sitting back in the chair, even by 10 or 20 degrees. Instantly, this reduces pressure on your lower back and minimises muscle activity in the torso, as the chair is responsible for holding your weight. The position you should sit in your office chair is not dissimilar to how you sit when driving a car.

Overall, this allows you to work comfortably at your desk for a longer period of time as long as you adjust the position of your computer, keyboard, and mouse accordingly.

If you work a desk job, then it is imperative to choose an ergonomic and adjustable chair that supports your body, promotes healthy posture, aids blood circulation, and minimises the risk of pain. Comfort's Elite range of office chairs is crafted for your comfort, so you can work without the distraction of pain.

Ergohuman Gaming is sponsoring Lombard Rally Festival Craufurdland Castle

Tue, 09 Jul 2024 13:50:29 GMT

Always part of the action, Ergohuman Gaming - part of the Comfort Seating Group – is an official sponsor of the Lombard Rally Festival, which will take place at Craufurdland Castle on 31 August to 1 September, 2024.

This event will be a first as the festival makes its Scotland debut after beginning in Bath. Scheduled for late summer, the event will showcase over 50 historic rally cars in an environment designed to look like an authentic 1970s and 80s rally. These are not just static displays, but actual racing rally cars. Former champions will be participating: behind the wheel and sharing anecdotes from their time as rally drivers. This event gives fans a unique chance to witness these cars, which are now out of action for competitive rallying.

The Lombard Rally Festival transforms a once exclusive event into an accessible experience. Competitive rallies were traditionally held in forests, which was difficult for the public to attend. In the late seventies, this transitioned to spectator stages. Lombard Rally Festival recreates this atmosphere, tapping into what used to be the largest-attended sporting event in the United Kingdom. Now situated at Craufurdland Castle, it's easier than ever for you to be part of this historic occasion.

How ergonomic gaming chairs suit handheld gamers

Tue, 02 Jul 2024 15:46:01 GMT

Handheld gaming is a staple of gaming culture, and it continues to rise in popularity. Captivating the attention of casual players to dedicated enthusiasts, there's a device and a game for everyone. Whether you're diving into the vast world of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom on your Nintendo Switch or exploring new realms in Genshin Impact on your mobile device, handheld gaming allows portability and flexibility.

However, the comfort and health implications of long handheld gaming sessions should not be ignored. Even if you're gaming from the sofa or your bed, discomfort can quickly become an issue. The right ergonomic gaming chair can make all the difference in delivering sustained comfort and support when playing games on handheld devices.

The evolution of handheld gaming and gaming chairs

Handheld gaming has come a long way since the release of the first-ever handheld electronic game in 1976. Mattel Electronics Auto Race debuted as the first of its kind, using only solid-state electronics. This paved the way for the first console with interchangeable cartridges in 1979: Milton Bradley Microvision. In 1989, Nintendo released the famous Game Boy, which holds its legendary reputation to this very day.

Now, we have a range of sophisticated portable gaming devices: the Nintendo Switch, Valve Steam Deck, PlayStation Portal, and, of course, the smartphone. These devices provide stunning graphics, expansive gameplay, and a portable gaming experience.

As handheld games and devices have evolved, so have the seating solutions designed for gamers. Initially, gaming chairs were repurposed office chairs. Often, people play on their handheld devices from the comfort of their sofa, public transport, or their bed.

However, comfort and support during long gaming sessions are of utmost importance, which has spurred the demand for innovative gaming chairs. The Ergohuman range of ergonomic gaming chairs offers advanced features that cater specifically to gamers' needs, with many details designed for handheld gamers in mind.

Ergonomics and handheld gaming: why it matters

Gaming on a handheld device, such as the Nintendo Switch Lite or the Asus ROG Ally, offers the freedom to game from anywhere. However, when gaming for long periods, lounging in bed or on the sofa can bring unpleasant health issues and discomfort.

Common discomforts when handheld gaming

When you're handheld or mobile gaming, you're likely enjoying the portability aspect. However, this comes with its own set of challenges. Players often adopt poor postures, leading to wrist and arm fatigue, neck strain, a sore back, and numb legs.

In fact, of 2000 students involved in a study, 44.05% reported musculoskeletal pain associated with using their smartphones for tasks, including gaming ⁽¹⁾ . The pain ranged from neck, thumb, and lower back to even elbow pain.

Another report states that using handheld devices without proper back support increases the chance of wrist, hand, shoulder, back and neck strain ⁽²⁾ . It's recommended to maintain a neutral posture and use a handheld device with user-friendly dimensions to reduce the risk of pain and strain.

Limitations of non-gaming seating

Traditional chairs, couches, or even lying in bed may be a convenient option for using handheld game consoles. However, they often lack the ergonomic support necessary for prolonged use. For instance, beds don't offer proper lumbar or neck support, while regular chairs don't provide the adjustability needed to maintain a comfortable posture. The absence of tailored support can worsen the physical strain associated with handheld gaming.

How Ergohuman gaming chairs address these issues

Comfort offers four ranges of gaming chairs across three colourways, so you can find the right chair for your set-up, budget, and gaming style. They all offer adjustable and ergonomic features that ensure your handheld gaming experience is comfortable.

Adjustable lumbar support

An ergonomic gaming chair with adjustable lumbar support maintains the natural curve of your spine, contributing to good posture and reducing back strain. Unlike non-gaming chairs or couches that don't offer proper back support, ergonomic seating ensures that your spine is properly aligned, minimising the risk of long-term issues.

5D adjustable armrests

If you're a handheld gamer, you'll understand the struggle of wrist and arm fatigue. Comfort gaming chairs have 5D adjustable armrests with customisable height, width, depth, angle, and tilt, so you can find extreme support no matter the game. These armrests are great for games that require extended hand use, such as RPGs or action-adventure games on devices like the Nintendo Switch or Valve Steam Deck.

Free-float recline mode

The free-float recline mode on Comfort gaming chairs allows you to find the perfect angle for your gaming sessions. If you have a preferred spot, you can also lock it in any of four positions. With the integrated headrest and legrest, you'll experience full-body support, no matter the position.

Whether you're intensely focused on a battle or relaxing during a cutscene, the ability to adjust your seat's angle provides next-level comfort. Traditional chairs lack this flexibility, forcing you into a single position, which can lead to discomfort quickly.

Integrated headrest and legrest

For marathon gaming sessions, an ergonomic gaming chair with an integrated headrest and legrest can make a world of difference. These chairs offer additional neck and cranial support, reducing the risk of strain while promoting good circulation in your legs. Compared to lying in a bed or sitting on a couch for hours, our ergonomic gaming chairs offer more support and reduce the risk of strain.

Comfort's effect on the handheld gaming experience

Ergonomic gaming chairs are more than just comfortable seating. They enhance your overall gaming experience and performance. With superior support and adjustability, Ergohuman gaming chairs allow you to focus entirely on your game, improving your performance and enjoyment ⁽³⁾ . When the mind is free from distractions, the gamer can relax and adopt a neutral position, which allows gamers to have a better gaming experience and achieve better results.

The importance of buying an ergonomic gaming chair

Fri, 14 Jun 2024 13:23:43 GMT

Ergohuman gaming chairs combine comfort, support, adjustability, and sleek aesthetics to deliver the ultimate gaming throne. The result is a seating solution that ensures extreme comfort for marathon gaming sessions, whether you're a pro, a novice, or somewhere between.

Proper ergonomic support is crucial for long-term gaming comfort. The chair you use while playing your favourite games significantly impacts how your body feels. While a budget gaming chair may seem comfortable at first, it often leads to discomfort after a few weeks of use.

Comfort Seating has spent decades researching ergonomic sciences and designing globally acclaimed office chairs engineered to prevent discomfort and musculoskeletal issues and have now incorporated this expertise to the Ultra gaming collection.

The evolution of gaming chairs

In the early days of gaming, players often relied on basic office chairs, which provided minimal support. These chairs were not designed with gamers' specific needs in mind, which led to discomfort and even long-term health issues. Alternatively, people would sit on the floor, in armchairs, or on sofas to play gaming consoles.

As gaming became more popular and demanding, the need for specialised seating became apparent. The increasing importance of ergonomics in gaming has driven significant advancements in chair design. Ergonomics - the science of designing products for maximum comfort - has become crucial for gamers who spend long hours in front of their screens.

Poor posture and improper support can lead to chronic back pain, poor circulation, and muscle fatigue. While gaming chairs have evolved to address these concerns, there is no other gaming chair like the Ultras, designed by Comfort Seating. Our gaming chairs offer over a dozen adjustable features, including 5D armrests, automatic lumbar support, customisable seat depth and height, and forward seat tilt so that each user can achieve the perfect fit.

Comfort's breathable mesh further improves comfort, allowing gamers to keep cool and focused. Our chairs reflect our commitment to both gaming performance and user well-being while demonstrating how far gaming chairs have come in meeting the demands of the gaming community.

Key benefits of Ergohuman gaming chairs

Ergohuman gaming chairs are designed to last, both in terms of durability but also in the realm of fleeting trends. With a sleek, timeless, classic visual, they have been created to suit almost any gaming set-up. Beyond how they look, let’s explore the key benefits of these quality gaming chairs from Comfort.

Enhanced ergonomics for prolonged comfort

What is true ergonomic design? An ergonomic gaming chair is one that supports individual bodies effectively and comfortably, especially during long periods. The chair should have enough adjustable features for users to personalise the set-up to suit their body, shape, and size.

The chair should also support healthy posture, comfort, and well-being. Key features to look for in an ergonomic chair include a height-adjustable seat, adjustable seat depth, lumbar support, armrests, and tension controls. Your experience sitting in an ergonomic gaming chair should result in better posture, less strain, and prevention of musculoskeletal issues.

The Ergohuman gaming chairs are designed to address this issue. During extended gaming sessions, it's common to assume a sitting position that can lead to long-term strain. You may find yourself slouching too much or feeling too tense. Our chairs can be adjusted so each user can find the most optimal support, allowing them to experience proper posture and sustained comfort, even during long gaming sessions.

Superior adjustability for personal comfort

Comfort is personal. There is no one-chair-fits-all, but the Ergohuman gaming chairs come pretty close. With superior adjustability, users can adapt a vast range of features to ensure the chair works for all kinds of gaming. Let's take a closer look at some of the chair's adjustable details.

> 5D armrests

The 5D armrests on our comfortable gaming chairs allow for five different adjustment options. You can change the armrest's height, width, depth, angle, and even tilt, making them more adjustable than popular 4D armrests. The customisable positions allow you to experience maximum support for various modes of gaming. For instance, tilt the armrests up for handheld gaming to minimise strain and stress on the forearms and wrists.

> Adjustable lumbar support

The built-in lumbar support system provides lower back support to reduce pain and promote proper posture. This prevents discomfort while gaming. You can adjust the lumbar support position by lifting or lowering the backrest. Additionally, you can increase or decrease the lumbar tension to suit your preference.

> Adjustable lumbar tension

Adjust the lumbar support pressure by turning the tension dial on the chair. This provides a firmer or softer lumbar support feel to the lower back, depending on your personal preferences and weight.

> Recline tension – free-float recline

Set the recline tension to the correct resistance for your body weight and leave the backrest in free-float mode to promote micro-movements while gaming. This extra flexibility allows for important dynamic movements, so you're not too stiff and stationary.

> Adjustable back and seat

Customise the chair to your individual needs with the generous adjustments available in the chair's backrest and seat. Adjust the backrest height, backrest recline, seat height, seat depth, and seat tilt, to ensure the chair is calibrated to your exact height and comfort needs.

> Adjustable headrest and legrest

The chair includes a headrest and legrest as standard. The headrest has adjustable height and pivot so you can experience next-level cranial, neck, and shoulder support in any position. The legrest folds up and out when you want to elevate your legs when reclining. These two adjustable features work together to provide full-body support.

Breathable materials for ultimate comfort

All of our gaming and ergonomic office chairs utilise a unique breathable mesh. This eco-friendly upholstery is designed to adapt to any body type, ensuring maximum comfort for over 10 years. Due to its ventilation properties, it's excellent for keeping you cool when things heat up.

The mesh on Ergohuman gaming chairs features 10 unique autoflex zones, allowing for proper weight distribution and back support. Ergohuman's mesh has four pressure release zones to prevent numbness, tingling, and discomfort that can be associated on other manufacturers' chairs with weight pressing on the edges of the backrest and seat.

Our chairs also have individual upper and lower back support zones with varying tension to ensure optimal comfort for different body parts. The autoflex zones work together to deliver incredible support while promoting dynamic movement, which is necessary for sustained comfort while gaming.

How Ergohuman gaming chairs are different

A key ambition for Comfort Seating was to ensure the chairs' comfort and value, providing a reliable seating solution for active gamers. The case for designing the Ergohuman gaming chairs was simple: create sustainable chairs while protecting gamers from back pain and muscle strain. Let's take a closer look at the details that make our chairs stand out.

Innovative design and technology

Our Ultra chairs and the Ergohuman Carbon do not resemble traditional gaming chairs. They don't have the usual racing-car aesthetic or come in synthetic leather upholstery that makes sitters sweat. Instead, we made sure our chairs would stand the test of time and the hurricane of ever-changing trends.

On the topic of upholstery, we have created the perfect mesh for gaming chairs. Our goal was to address common issues associated with faux leather, memory foam, and fabric seats, including poor posture, heat build-up, and a lack of support. Our innovative mesh has a unique fabric weave with 10 autoflex zones to provide secure support, even during intense gaming sessions.

Our gaming chairs also boast innovative technology that isn't found in many other seats. From automatic lumbar support to 5D adjustable armrests to free-float recline mode, our chairs provide excellent ergonomics, backed by a 10-year warranty.

Quality and durability

Build quality and durability are crucial when investing in a luxury gaming chair. Our products are crafted to exceed industry standards, promising the best possible performance. The 100% polyester mesh is abrasion-resistant past 50,000 cycles, boasts anti-pilling and anti-slip properties, is easy to clean, and non-flammable.

We support this claim with a 10-year warranty so you can rest assured in your purchase. Your can also be confident in continuity of supply in all our products. We own our chair blueprints and all the tooling used in manufacturing; we are not reliant on a supply chain. If you require any replacement components or wish to purchase an older model of our chairs to match others, you can be confident that we will supply them promptly, even 10 years down the line.

If you test our gaming chairs for a few weeks and are unhappy with their performance, we offer 30-day returns, no questions asked.

Health benefits

One of the most important details about our chairs, including our ergonomic office chairs, is that they are designed to support your health and well-being. The chairs have been BS5459 and BS EN1335 certified, which proves that they are suitable for 24-hour and 8-hour daily use respectively.

Prolonged sitting in standard chairs is linked to musculoskeletal issues ⁽¹⁾ . However, ergonomic chairs are proven to alleviate strain, which, in turn, can prevent pain and discomfort. The most important adjustments are adjustable seat height and depth, but our gaming chairs go beyond that with adjustable backrest height and angle, lumbar tension, armrests, and more.

Ergonomic seating offers a myriad of health benefits, including but not limited to better blood flow, reduced lower back issues, and good posture.

INVESTING IN A GAMING CHAIR IS A LONG-TERM BENEFIT

When considering buying a gaming chair , it's important to view it as an investment in both health and long-term comfort. While the upfront cost is significant, breaking it down reveals the true value.

Considering the chair is built to last beyond a decade, this equates to just over 20 pence per day.

This investment can reduce the need for medical treatments and therapies associated with poor posture, back pain, and prolonged sitting. Expenses on pain medications, chiropractor visits, and massages can quickly add up, often surpassing the initial cost of the chair.

Prioritising ergonomic seating prevents these issues before they arise, prompting overall well-being and reducing healthcare costs.

The investment is akin to purchasing a high-quality mattress. Just as you spend about one-third of your life sleeping, many people spend a similar amount of time in their gaming or office chairs. Proper support and comfort cannot be overstated in either scenario. A good gaming chair, like a good mattress, ensures that your body is well-supported, reducing strain and enhancing productivity.

How Ergohuman gaming chairs support your well-being

Tue, 21 May 2024 13:24:35 GMT

When searching for a supportive gaming chair, you may come across forums where pro gamers recommend avoiding gaming chairs altogether. Instead, they recommend getting an office chair. Traditional gaming chairs that claim to be ergonomic with good lumbar support are often over-firm, low-quality, unreliable, and do not feature the functions necessary to tailor the chair to your body.

Ergonomic office chairs, especially ones from high-quality brands, usually feature generous ergonomic functions. In most cases, you can adjust the seat, backrest, armrests, and lumbar support system, making them much more comfortable than standard gaming chairs.

The issue is that most office chairs don’t suit traditional gaming set-ups. That’s why we, the creators of the globally acclaimed Ergohuman office chair, wanted to make something new: gaming chairs that looked like gaming chairs but provide support and comfort like premium office chairs.

Not only are the Ergohuman gaming chairs stylish and comfortable, but they are built to support your well-being. Let's explore the health benefits of these chairs and how they can sustain your comfort for up to 24 hours a day.

The Ultra models are certified for 8-hour use, which is perfect for hobby gamers or those who stick to a more rigid gaming schedule.

Ergohuman G1 Vs G2: Remastering the comfortable office chair

Mon, 13 May 2024 21:08:10 GMT

The Ergohuman office chair is Comfort Seating’s flagship chair. With over two million units sold worldwide, it’s a highly esteemed comfortable office chair endorsed by experts —occupational therapists and workplace assessors — as well as users.

Comfort has conducted extensive research and development to fine-tune the Elite range of office chairs, thus launching the second generation. This range features the Ergohuman Elite G2 , Enjoy Elite G2, and Mirus Elite G2: three remastered ergonomic office chairs.

The evolution of the comfortable office chair

The original line of Elite chairs was ergonomically incredible. It altered the world of task seating by providing a solution that delivered comfort, productivity, and style. However, throughout the years, we identified areas for improvement based on user feedback, ergonomic research, and workplace trends.

That’s where the Generation 2 collection was born. With fundamental design changes and enhancements aimed at maximising comfort and support, the Ergohuman office chair is more than a seat. It combines ultimate comfort, dynamic movement, and exceptional build quality. Featuring a sleek design and integrated lumbar support, this chair ensures ergonomic perfection for your back and spine.

What is the difference between Ergohuman G1 and G2?

Comfort has made subtle but significant changes to the Ergohuman Elite G2. From aesthetic refinements, including a sleek mechanism and polished aluminium headrest support bar, to mesh changes and design upgrades, the Ergohuman G2 is vastly improved.

The upgraded mesh is a considerable change. The Ergohuman previously featured KMD mesh, but it now boasts our anti-pilling T168 mesh for better durability. The new mesh ensures the right level of stretch for evenly distributed support across 10 zones: six in the backrest and four in the seat. T168 mesh involves a higher yarn count with improved weave for supportive tension and elasticity. This prevents sagging while ensuring a more comfortable experience along the entire chair.

Another significant improvement is the comfort of the backrest. The lumbar support now features adjustable tension, so users can fine tune it to suit their weight and preferences. The upper backrest also features two new height options, totalling six height adjustment settings. Additionally, the headrest is more functional in all positions and has been moved slightly forward for enhanced comfort, aligning it better with the upper backrest.

The generation two Elite chairs also feature a new forward tilt function, allowing the user to tilt the front edge of the seat downwards while keeping the backrest upright. This feature lets the user adjust their posture by tilting their pelvis slightly forward. The tilt function promotes a more active sitting position to reduce pressure on the lower back and thighs, which is ideal for tasks that require leaning forward, including drawing, writing, and intense computer work.

The chair now features 5D armrests with adjustable width, tilt, and more generous pivot adjustments. These armrests provide better support for handheld devices, typing, and reading.

Lastly, the seat comfort has been refined. The four individual zones on the seat ensure a comfortable experience for up to 24 hours, depending on your model. With a sleeker, more contoured design, the seat frame is now engineered to reduce pressure on the back of the legs so users can experience better weight distribution, which alleviates discomfort.

Refining comfort in the workplace

Creating a comfortable office chair has been our main mission since the start. People spend as much time in their office chairs as they do on their mattresses, and workplace comfort cannot be overstated. The significant changes to the Ergohuman Elite G2 deliver upgraded support while staying true to the original design of the first-generation collection. From a new anti-pilling mesh to refined seat comfort, the G2 range promises unparalleled support. To view the chairs and experience the ergonomic support, contact us, and we will connect you with your nearest dealer for personalised customer service.

How the Enjoy Elite takes a stand against musculoskeletal pain

Sun, 12 May 2024 20:49:37 GMT

Ergonomic seating is specially designed to prevent musculoskeletal discomfort and pain. When employers are responsible for ensuring a safe and healthy workplace for their staff, the significance of ergonomics cannot be overstated.

Novel dynamic ergonomic chairs ⁽¹⁾ are engineered to enhance both immediate and long-term comfort for workers ⁽²⁾ . These chairs support a range of movements and postures throughout the work day to lessen muscle fatigue, prevent stiffness, and encourage circulation.

The Enjoy Elite G2 is a prime example of a novel dynamic ergonomic chair, offering an excellent and cost-effective solution for large corporates, SMEs, and home offices. Certified for 8-hour daily use, it's ideal for regular shift patterns, ensuring back and spinal comfort throughout the entire working day.

Understanding musculoskeletal pain

What is musculoskeletal pain? In simple terms, it's pain that affects bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons and nerves ⁽³⁾ . This acute or chronic pain is often localised to the lower back. Up to 33 per cent of people experience a form of musculoskeletal pain.

The leading causes include sprain, strain, degenerate disc disease, spinal stenosis, scoliosis, poor posture ⁽⁴⁾ .

While there are many other causes of back pain, a poor office chair can cause strain and poor posture. Sitting incorrectly or sitting in an unsupportive chair can increase stress on the back, neck, arms, legs, muscles, and spinal discs⁽ ⁵⁾ . When a person slouches in a chair, they can stretch the spinal ligaments and strain the spinal discs. Overall, poorly built chairs and bad posture can contribute to the ongoing issue of back pain.

Investing in an ergonomic office chair , like the Enjoy Elite, is often the first step to comfort. Over time, this can prevent damage to the spinal structure and relieve neck and back pain.

The science behind the Enjoy Elite chair

Comfort Seating is passionate about workplace well-being and healthy posture. With decades of research & development behind us, we understand the importance of preventing workplace injuries and musculoskeletal pain. The Enjoy Elite office chair is just one in our vast collection of ergonomic seating solutions that can transform your workplace and increase employee well-being. Ergonomically designed to offer 8-hour comfort, the key features include:

Lumbar Support

The Enjoy office chair is equipped with an advanced lumbar support system that can be adjusted automatically. You can adjust the back height to align the lumbar support with your lower back's curvature, providing continuous spinal support as you work. You can also customise the tension of the lumbar support to match your weight and strength.

Adjustable armrests

The multi-axis armrests move in multiple directions. You can adjust the height, width, depth, angle, and tilt, allowing you to find the most comfortable arm position depending on the task. This versatility reduces strain on the shoulders and neck, whether you're reading, writing, relaxing, gaming, or typing.

Seat depth adjustment

The Enjoy office chair features an adjustable seat depth. This ensures support for the thighs and reduces pressure on the lower back. Adjusting the seat depth to the length of your thighs also better distributes your body weight across the chair for longer-lasting comfort.

Tilt mechanism

When you activate the free-float mode and the tilt mechanism on the Enjoy Elite G2, the seat synchronises with the back of the chair. This allows you to maintain proper spine support as you recline. As a novel dynamic ergonomic chair, this feature is crucial for preventing stiffness.

Material and construction

The exceptional build quality and clever combination of materials ensure the Enjoy office chair is a durable seating solution. Featuring flexible T-mesh and sturdy metals, each component is meticulously chosen to deliver peak performance. Unlike lower-cost products, Comfort exclusively uses premium materials to craft a lightweight yet high-performance task chair, backed by a 10-year warranty for added assurance.

Benefits of choosing the Enjoy Elite chair

Almost 25 per cent of office workers believe that experiencing physical pain is just part of the office job culture ⁽⁶⁾ . Pain can affect a person's daily life, leading to a myriad of issues, including an impacted social life, poor mental health, and, of course, unproductivity at work.

Investing in a truly ergonomic office chair can enhance the workplace environment. A comfortable office chair can alleviate back pain and strain, providing employees with full-body support and allowing them to focus on important tasks. Consequently, this leads to a more productive staff, who can concentrate more on their work and less on discomfort.

The Enjoy Elite also improves employee well-being, minimising the risk of long-term back problems. In the United Kingdom, workers who experience back pain take 12 sick days annually ⁽⁷⁾ . Thirty-three per cent of UK workers have taken at least one day off work because of back or neck pain. While ergonomic chairs may not be the cure for those with other back disorders, the Enjoy office chair is designed to support healthy seating for those who don't have pre-existing conditions.

The Enjoy Elite G2 offers a cost-effective solution for businesses looking to invest in preventative measures against absenteeism and healthcare costs. Choosing our product can help you save money in the long run. If you need more information on pricing and our bespoke services, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Tips for proper ergonomic setup

To ensure a comfortable experience, it is essential to adjust the Enjoy Elite office chair to meet individual preferences. The chair offers more than a dozen adjustable features that must be adapted to provide proper support to the current user. An instruction manual is included with the chair to help set up the seat. Additionally, you can watch our how-to guide through the link provided below.

It's also crucial to maintain good posture while seated. The lumbar support system makes it easy to remain upright in the Enjoy Elite G2, but you should avoid slouching to maintain back health.

The Enjoy offers various recline positions to switch things up if you are feeling stiff. You should also incorporate regular breaks into your routine. Every 30 minutes, get up, walk around, and stretch your legs, arms and back to prevent stiffness. Combining a dynamic seating solution with breaks can revolutionise workplace comfort.

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE ENJOY ELITE FOR BACK PAIN

The Enjoy Elite is a ground-breaking chair for back pain . This comfortable office chair offers a range of adjustable features to prevent back pain while at work.

How ergonomic gaming chairs boost the PC gaming experience

Thu, 04 Apr 2024 16:39:44 GMT

Since 1962, when the first PC game, Space World, was released, PC gaming has been a mainstay in the world of video games. The popularity of PC gaming can be attributed to the crisp graphics, immersive gaming style, and vast selection of available games.

When every click and keystroke counts, the experience goes beyond entertainment. It's a journey into digital realms that involve strategy and skill. As gamers navigate virtual landscapes, comfort and focus become pivotal. This is where ergonomic gaming chairs step in.

Ergonomic gaming chairs , such as the Ergohuman range, combine the thrill of gaming with long-lasting comfort. Delving into the relationship between PC gaming and ergonomic chairs, understanding the fusion of technology and design highlights how seating can create an environment for gamers to dominate.

The essence of PC gaming

PC gaming is known to be thrilling and immersive. It's a combination of being in close proximity to the monitor and the manual interaction with players’ mouse and keyboard that makes gamers feel ‘in the game’ when playing on PC. But with immersion typically comes long gaming hours. During this time, it's essential that players prioritise comfort and in return, focus.

The most critical element for comfort while gaming is the chair you sit on. As a leader in the ergonomic seating market, with over five million office chairs sold, Comfort Seating spent years perfecting the Ergohuman gaming chair range. The chairs are designed to improve your PC gaming experience by providing proper support during long gaming sessions

Understanding ergonomic gaming chairs

Ergonomic gaming chairs are a step above regular gaming chairs. A truly ergonomic chair is one that adjusts to fit almost all users. Players can adjust a range of features, including seat height, back height, seat depth, recline mode, lumbar tension, the 5D armrests, and much more. With over a dozen adjustable features, Ergohuman gaming chairs take a one-chair-fits-all approach, catering to players of any shape, size, and gaming style.

In designing Comfort's new range of gaming chairs, we took inspiration from our globally acclaimed office chairs. Noticing that pro gamers were beginning to prefer ergonomic office chairs over traditional gaming chairs anyway, we designed a product that combined the best of both worlds. Ergohuman gaming chairs feature the same intelligence and support as ergonomic office chairs, while delivering sleek aesthetics.

The key beneficial features of Ergohuman gaming chairs include:

Automatic lumbar support

This helps with sustained posture support and mitigates back pain during long gaming sessions

Free-float recline

The chairs have four lockable positions, but you can utilise free-float mode for dynamic reclining. The chair will respond to you, depending on the recline position you prefer, whether that's upright or leaned back.

Headrest and legrest

Comfort is key when gaming at your PC. The included headrests and legrests achieve unparalleled cranial support, and you can elevate your legs underneath your desk if you have space.

Elastomeric mesh

Unlike traditional gaming chairs, which feature fabric, leather, or memory foam, our chairs feature elastomeric mesh. With individual flex zones, the chair has intelligent weight distribution to relieve pressure on your back and thighs. The mesh is also breathable, so you can keep cool while the pressure is on.

Forward seat tilt

A forward seat tilt allows you to lean into your game and enjoy the most immersive experience. The seat and backrest tilt together, delivering coordinated movements with a natural drift feel.

The ergonomic features increase endurance and focus while you game. With a chair that responds to your micro-movements and delivers a dynamic response, you can focus more on the game and less on discomfort. It's a chair that's part of the action in a way you've never experienced before.

Boosting performance with Ergohuman gaming chairs

Elden Ring takes immersion to the next level. The Golden Order has been broken - the Elden Ring shattered. With each demigod possessing a piece of the ring and, with that, evil power, players must navigate the world to repair the ring and henceforth become the Elden Lord. Beautiful and packed with quests, this is the kind of game that you'll never want to stop playing.

Subnautica

If you're a fan of survival games, then Subnautica might be one to try. Set in an open world and played from a first-person perspective, gamers will land in an alien ocean world, and the only direction they can go is down. Explore coral reefs and deep-sea trenches while managing your oxygen supply and avoiding harmful sea life.

Disco Elysium - The Final Cut

Begin exploring as a character who has lost his memory. Learn about the unique world of Elysium through the eyes of a forgetful detective who must solve a series of crimes in the world. While there is much to do, players could spend hours alone exploring the world's lore.

Red Dead Redemption 2

Relive the past by heading back to 1899 America with Arthur Morgan, who is fleeing town after a failed robbery attempt. Arthur and his gang must fight and steal their way across the country as they battle to survive. Being extremely immersive, it's impossible not to spend hours at a time playing this game, making a truly ergonomic chair a necessary companion.

Baldur's Gate 3

The recently released Baldur's Gate 3 comes with a warning from players that it might swallow your life. Riveting and enchanting, this game will pull you in for hours. Gather your party and head to the Forgotten Realms, where your powers await you. You get the choice to use the powers to turn from evil or embrace it.

Choosing ergonomic seating for PC video games

The Ergohuman range of ergonomic chairs provides optimal comfort for PC gaming. When committing to an immersive game that reels you in for hours at a time, comfort and posture support are important - not just for your gaming experience but also for your health.

Ergonomic gaming chairs with lumbar support, 5D armrests, and adjustable features allow individuals to tailor the chair to their needs and preferences. The chairs mitigate pain and strain, reducing the chances of musculoskeletal problems. Ergohuman gaming chairs provide unmatched support from top to tail so that you can focus on your game, not your discomfort.

Ergonomic mesh office chairs: the science behind comfort

Thu, 28 Mar 2024 15:35:59 GMT

Ergonomic furniture offers a multitude of benefits beyond comfort. It is designed to enhance health, quality of life, and performance ⁽¹⁾ . Designers of hardware ergonomics, including seating and chairs, study the human body to provide a product for sustained, healthy comfort. Comfort's ergonomic mesh office chairs are inspired by this movement towards healthier and safer seating.

When you spend around 40 hours per week in your office chair, and for many of us, we use task chairs for much longer, it is essential to choose an ergonomic chair that will sustain or improve your health. The benefits of Ergohuman chairs, mesh upholstery, and posture support, prove that an ergonomic mesh office chair is a wise investment.

The Importance of Office Chairs for Health and Well-Being

Sitting is the new smoking, or so they say. Looking at the science behind this alarming phrase, it's true that being active is better for your health. Moving around during the day decreases your risk of early death compared to prolonged sitting ⁽²⁾ .

Extended periods of sitting, particularly in an office setting, can result in significant health hazards, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and depression. Alternating between sitting and standing positions at regular intervals can enhance cardiovascular and respiratory function, thereby promoting a healthier lifestyle.

Physical inactivity is the second leading cause of cancer in many countries, following closely after smoking. Forty-nine per cent of working people spend most of their days sitting. While an ergonomic office chair cannot solve these issues, it can alleviate some of the effects. For instance, an ergonomic mesh office chair, like the Ergohuman Elite G2 , has advanced lumbar support and a contoured back, which promotes proper posture. In turn, this can prevent degeneration and musculoskeletal issues.

However, you should still aim to be active every 30 minutes. You can alternate between sitting and standing positions by utilising a standing desk or taking a five-minute break to walk around and stretch your legs.

Compared to Comfort's office chairs, poorly designed chairs can contribute to back pain and injuries, resulting in employees taking extended leave. It's important to choose ergonomic and adjustable seating for both professional and home offices. With a fully adjustable chair, each employee can tailor the seat to their unique shaping, height, and strength.

The Benefits of Mesh Office Chairs

Mesh office chairs use mesh upholstery rather than fabric or leather. Mesh is a lightweight material with a net-like or open-weave structure. This creates a breathable, flexible textile that supports the body, responds to movement, and encourages healthy posture.

Compared to traditional fabric or leather chairs, mesh office chairs provide better:

Breathability: Mesh has excellent air circulation, keeping you cool and comfortable.

Flexibility: Mesh responds to the body's contours, supporting the user evenly.

Posture support: Premium mesh desk chairs support the back and spine, encouraging healthy posture and minimising pain.

Anti-slip properties: Ergonomic mesh office chairs prevent users from sliding forward or down.

Durability: Mesh is durable and more resistant to wear, tear, and sagging.

Modern aesthetics: Mesh is timeless, contemporary, and sleek, often available in a range of colour options.

Cleanability: Mesh is easy to clean and maintain , making them ideal for busy offices.

The Science of Comfort

Comfort is a fundamental human need. From birth, we possess an innate desire to experience comfort and avoid physical discomfort. Humans don't like being too hot, too cold, or in pain. Being comfortable can soothe a human, both babies and adults, enabling us to relax in our surroundings and concentrate on the task at hand.

The human brain's comfort response is located in the amygdala. This part of the brain processes many emotions, including comfort. When the human brain stores a memory in the amygdala, it can return to it, and the mind and body will respond. For instance, when we enter our comfort zone—so to speak—our brain reduces stress-related physiological responses.

That's where Ergohuman comes in. The Ergohuman mesh office chairs have been designed to provide ultimate comfort, allowing your brain and body to feel happy. When your posture is good, your blood is flowing, you can breathe easily, and there is less pressure on digestive organs, you will focus less on your bodily sensations. This will allow you to concentrate better on your work and important tasks, such as writing, researching, strategising, planning, or leadership.

Ergohuman Office Chairs: A Solution for Better Health

Ergohuman mesh office chairs are thoughtfully designed to promote and maintain good health. With an array of adjustable features, each chair can be tailored to the user's unique body shape, allowing for personalised comfort. This is particularly advantageous in a workplace setting where multiple individuals may utilise the same chair.

The chairs' ergonomic features include adjustable seat height, back height, seat depth, 5D armrests, back recline, and much more. All are easily customisable with a simple single lever control; it takes only seconds to alter the seat to your style.

The features of the Comfort chairs on all models, including Mirus Elite and Enjoy Elite, are as follows:

Improving Focus and Stamina With Ergohuman Chairs

As mentioned, comfort is a basic human need. In a 2015 survey, the three most important features of an effective office environment were related to physical comfort ⁽³⁾ . This included office temperature, the desk, and, not surprisingly, the office chair.

In another study of more than 10,000 office workers, it was discovered that distractions cost each employee 86 minutes per day of lost working time. When the issue of comfort is addressed through quality office furniture, employees are able to concentrate better and increase focus.

The ergonomic features of Comfort's chairs, including both the office chairs and gaming chairs, can reduce fatigue and discomfort. In turn, this leads to better concentration and productivity. Certified for up to 24-hour use , Comfort's chairs are built to last, built to sustain, and built to support. Regardless of height, weight, or seating preferences, the chairs are truly ergonomic in that they can be tailored to a diverse range of users.

Not only does this provide immediate comfort and relief, but it helps with long-term challenges. Comfort's range of mesh office chairs can reduce musculoskeletal issues over a long period of time, respond to the user's micro-movements, and keep the workplace free of unnecessary distractions, such as pain and strain.

Ergohuman Office Chairs:
A Solution for Better Health

It's not a case of setting the chair up and getting on with it. Take a few moments to properly configure your chair to your height, size, strength, and preferences. Read the user manual to familiarise yourself with the technology, the ingeniously simple single lever, and how to make adjustments.

If you are using the chairs in an office, consider running a brief tutorial to educate your employees on making adjustments. It's important that everybody knows how to tailor the chair to their needs, especially if you are sharing the chair among a few people.

Lastly, remember to take frequent breaks. Aim to leave your office chair every 30 minutes for about two to five minutes of movement. Although this may seem like a lot of time away from your work, it will benefit you in the long run. Constant movement reduces pain and strain, ensuring you are more comfortable and focused when you are working. It also gives your mind a chance to rest, refuelling you for your next working session.

When in free-float mode, you experience the most upright posture with the ability to lean back between rounds, when you need a break, or as you defeat (or get defeated by) opponents.

Seat depth

Ergohuman gaming chairs boast an adjustable seat depth, a feature often overlooked in the gaming chair market. This thoughtful addition allows users to customise the chair according to their body size and preferences.

Adjustable seat depth ensures comfort during marathon gaming sessions. It provides the best support to the upper thighs and helps maintain a healthy posture, which can minimise fatigue while gaming. In the 2024 world of gaming chairs, this attention to detail places Ergohuman chairs in a league of their own.

Build quality

When considering a gaming chair, it is important to assess its longevity. This is a key factor in determining its value. Ergohuman gaming chairs, renowned for their superior build quality, are a testament to lasting excellence.

Gaming chair yoga: stretching and relaxation tips for gamers

Wed, 28 Feb 2024 13:16:10 GMT

It is crucial to prioritise wellness practices in daily life, particularly for individuals who remain seated for extended periods. Doing so can have a significant positive impact on their overall well-being.

When creating the Ergohuman gaming chairs , full-body support was key. While our chairs are certified for up to 24-hour use, it's essential that users take regular breaks to stretch and relax the body.

For gamers seeking a holistic approach to their gaming experience, we introduce gaming chair yoga. This blend of stretches, relaxation techniques, and yoga moves tailored for moments of repose will help you maintain both physical and mental well-being during gaming marathons.

Importance of Stretches for Gamers

It's an increasing issue that we are all spending too much time in our chairs. When gaming worlds are so immersive and high stakes, breaking away from the realms can be challenging. It's important that you take a break from your chair every 30 to 60 minutes, even if it's just for five minutes ⁽¹⁾ .

Get up. Move the body. Take a quick walk around the block or march up and down your stairs. Spending too much time sitting down can lead to a stiff neck, shoulders, back pain, and even carpal tunnel syndrome.

A study found that sedentary habits are linked to a higher risk of early death ⁽²⁾ . But there are ways to combat this, including regular movements. People who don't take breaks are more likely to be at risk of an early death, even if they exercise regularly outside of work hours. It's crucial that you set a timer for every 30 to 60 minutes, reminding yourself to get up and move.

Stretches Outside the Chair

Step out of your gaming chair from time to time and do a five-minute stretching routine to remain active and prevent stiffness.

Stretches Inside the Chair

Between your 30 or 60-minute breaks, you can incorporate yoga moves and stretches while remaining seated.

Yoga Moves During Breaks

Yoga has many advantages, including improving back pain, flexibility and even sleep. It only takes a few minutes to do these beneficial yoga moves.

The Gaming Chair Yoga Lifestyle

Adopting Gaming Chair Yoga isn't just a one-time routine; it's a lifestyle. Invest in an ergonomic gaming chair - like the Ergohuman - that supports your body during extended sessions. Consider chairs with adjustable lumbar support, 5D armrests, and reclining options for the ultimate gaming sanctuary.

Prioritise wellness as an integral part of your gaming routine. Schedule regular breaks to incorporate these stretches and yoga moves, ensuring a balance between intense gameplay and self-care. Your well-being is as crucial as your gaming skills, and the synergy of both will elevate your gaming experience to unprecedented heights. Shop the Ergohuman gaming chairs now.

Ergohuman: elevating sustainability in modern office design

Sat, 24 Feb 2024 17:34:56 GMT

Sustainability has become a cornerstone of responsible corporate practices, especially when designing or furnishing offices. Sustainable office design not only aligns with environmental conservation but also enhances employee well-being and productivity.

The Ergohuman plays an integral role in creating sustainable office environments. As a cutting-edge office chair crafted from recycled and recyclable materials, the Ergohuman upholds both sustainability and office functionality.

The Rise of Sustainable Offices

Sustainable offices are more than a trend; they represent a transition towards environmentally conscious workspaces. These offices prioritise reducing their carbon footprint, promoting energy efficiency, and embracing eco-friendly materials in their design and furnishings. A well-designed, sustainable office features a harmonious blend of functionality, aesthetics, and environmental responsibility.

By 2030, all commercial rented buildings must achieve an EPC rating of at least 'B' ⁽¹⁾ . Currently, 87 per cent of office stock in the UK is below 'C'. If you're furnishing an office, it's important to keep in mind that sustainability regulations will be changing by 2030.

To comply with these future regulations, it's essential to plan ahead. Thanks to manufacturers such as Comfort producing eco-friendly products, designing a green space is now easier.

Key Components of Sustainable Office Design

Whether taking big leaps or making small changes, there are many ways to prioritise your commitment to sustainability. Whether looking for long-term sustainable solutions or high-quality furniture recommendations, all it takes is one change at a time.

Ergohuman: eco-friendly office seating

At the heart of sustainable office design is choosing a sustainable desk chair. Not just one made from renewable energy sources but one built to sustain your comfort. The Ergohuman Elite G2 is meticulously crafted with a commitment to environmental responsibility.

The office chair incorporates recycled components, mitigating the impact on our planet. While it includes virgin parts for durability, the overall design significantly reduces its carbon footprint. The Ergohuman office chair provides comfort and support, creating a sustainable and employee-friendly workspace. Its ergonomic design makes it an excellent choice for those who value the well-being of their employees.

Eco-conscious desks

A growing number of office buildings are adopting sustainable practices to facilitate the overall green initiative. One of the ways to achieve this is by opting for desks made from recycled or reclaimed materials. By doing so, it not only minimises the demand for new resources but also reduces the carbon footprint.

Bamboo desks, for instance, are a great example of an eco-friendly alternative. They are not only beautiful but also made from a rapidly renewable resource. Therefore, they are an excellent choice for sustainable office design.

Greenery and plants

Introducing greenery into the office space is a hallmark of sustainability. Plants act as natural air purifiers, improving indoor air quality and aiding a healthier work environment. Consider incorporating potted plants or vertical gardens to add a touch of nature to your office.

Enhance the overall well-being of employees with snake plants, spider plants, and philodendrons. Snake plants have air-purifying qualities and thrive in low-light conditions. Spider plants can remove airborne toxins and are easy to care for. Philodendrons can improve indoor air quality and are adaptable to different light conditions.

Always consider the office's light conditions and humidity when selecting plants. Choosing plants is one task, but keeping them alive is another challenge.

Reusable materials and sustainable stationery

Reducing waste is a fundamental aspect of sustainability. Opt for reusable materials such as glass or stainless steel for office supplies and utensils. Implement a comprehensive recycling program and encourage the use of recycled paper for printed materials. Sustainable stationery choices minimise the environmental impact of everyday office operations.

Energy-efficient lighting

Sustainable offices shine a light on energy efficiency, employing advanced lighting systems to foster a greener workspace. The integration of LED lighting and motion sensors ensures optimal energy consumption. Additionally, harnessing natural light through thoughtful design promotes a well-lit and dynamic ambience, significantly influencing employee mood and productivity.

Sustainable offices can reduce their ecological footprint by embracing these innovative lighting solutions. Companies can also illuminate a path toward a brighter, more efficient, and employee-centric work environment.

Benefits of Sustainable Office Design

As creators of the Ergohuman office chair , we are dedicated to productivity, well-being, and total body support. But the chair must also contribute towards a more sustainable future. When fusing sustainability into your office design, the benefits should feel immediate but also long-lasting.

Enhanced employee well-being

A sustainable office design goes beyond the aesthetic appeal, placing a premium on the well-being of employees. The ergonomic features showcased in the Ergohuman chair prioritise comfort but also proper posture, significantly mitigating the risk of musculoskeletal issues.

Beyond the furniture, plants and natural lighting create a more positive work environment. This strategic integration uplifts mental health, creating a workspace where employees thrive and feel energised. When employees experience heightened productivity, the relationship between a sustainable office and the workforce's well-being is clear.

Businesses that neglect sustainability and well-being will eventually cease to exist due to regulations. So, future-proofing your company by focusing on sustainability and employee happiness is essential.

Increased productivity and engagement

Sustainable offices can significantly boost employee morale and engagement. Thoughtfully designed spaces go beyond aesthetics, creating a sense of pride among employees by aligning with the company's values.

Comfortable and environmentally conscious furnishings, like the Ergohuman office chair, enhance focus and productivity. Well-designed furniture ensures physical comfort while helping employees to feel valued and motivated.

Reduced environmental impact

The most significant advantage of sustainable office design is its environmental impact. The UK has set a target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 100% of the levels measured in 1990. The Climate Change Act mandates reaching this target by 2050 ⁽²⁾ .

Businesses that choose eco-friendly materials and smart energy practices play a part in global conservation efforts. This isn't just about ticking a corporate social responsibility box - it's about being a responsible custodian of our planet. Businesses who partake are leading the charge toward a greener, more environmentally friendly future.

FAQs About the Ergohuman

Incorporating the Ergohuman Into Offices

As businesses evolve, integrating sustainable office design has emerged as a strategic imperative. The Ergohuman chair exemplifies how corporate environments can seamlessly combine comfort, functionality, and eco-consciousness. From ergonomic seating to eco-friendly desks and energy-efficient lighting, sustainable offices embody the ethos of responsible corporate citizenship. By embracing sustainability goals, businesses can create workplaces that attract top talent while promoting a healthier planet.

How do you sit ergonomically in a gaming chair?

Although our chairs are ergonomic, you have to play your part to ensure maximum comfort. Sitting at an angle, folding your legs or twisting your body will work against the ergonomic design of our chairs which have been shaped and crafted to promote healthy posture.

Sit back in the chair and adjust the lumbar support to mould to the small of your back. Adjust the armrest to align with your elbows, allowing your arms to rest comfortably without strain.

Position your monitor or screen at eye level to prevent neck strain. Take regular breaks and stretch often to incorporate movement and avoid stiffness.

What is the warranty on Ergohuman gaming chairs?

Comfort gaming chairs are backed by a 10-year warranty, ensuring a reliable companion as you compete. Contact us if your chair is faulty or requires replacement parts - including armrests, mesh, or castors - and we will provide genuine replacement parts.

How long can I sit in Ergohuman gaming chairs?

The Ergohuman Carbon chair is certified BS 5459 for 24-hour gameplay. The Ultra range of gaming chairs – including the Ergohuman, Enjoy, and Mirus – are certified BS 1335 for 8-hour gameplay.

Are gaming chairs good for your back?

Many traditional gaming chairs are not designed for supporting your back for long hours. Many gamers are left with back pain, stress, tension and musculoskeletal issues. Over the years, many pro gamers have found that an ergonomic office chair will support the body better than a cheap gaming chair.

That’s why we have created the Ergohuman gaming chair collection. Built on the foundation of our globally acclaimed Ergohuman Elite chair, our gaming chairs provide essential ergonomic support to keep you comfortable and sitting healthily for up to 24 hours of gameplay. With adjustable lumbar support and elastomeric mesh, it’s time to discover unbeatable comfort.

Can I purchase replacement parts for the Ergohuman?

If you have any issues with your Ergohuman gaming chairs, contact us, and we will provide you with replacement parts as long as your chair is covered by the 10-year warranty. Parts may be purchased for any damage that falls outwith the warranty.

What is the weight capacity of the Ergohuman Carbon?

The weight capacity for the Ergohuman Carbon is for persons weighing up to 150 kg. The Ultra range of gaming chairs supports users weighing up to 110 kg.

What’s the difference between gaming and office chairs?

Some gaming and office chairs are similar, but many cater to different needs. Gaming chairs tend to focus on bold aesthetics, racing-inspired designs and a few ergonomic features. They may have lumbar support, adjustable armrests, and limited reclining capabilities.

Office chairs often prioritise a more professional aesthetic, more subdued design, and more practicality. Many office chairs don’t come in a wide range of colours, but they may provide ergonomic features, including adjustable height, lumbar support, and swivel bases.

Comfort have created office chairs and gaming chairs that provide both ergonomic excellence and aesthetic magnetism. Comfort’s gaming chairs enjoy a distinctive style avoiding the racing-style design favoured by teenagers, ensuring that the chairs blend in with even the most professional environments. They feature adjustable seat, back, headrest, legrest, lumbar support and 5D armrests to cater to all gamers.

Our office chairs also come with a huge array of adjustable features, and in a range of bold colours, including blue, green and pink.

What ergonomic features does the Ergohuman gaming chair have?

The Ergohuman gaming chairs feature a range of incredible features, including:

A synchronised 2:1 tilt mechanism

Why gaming chairs matter: increase your performance

Tue, 13 Feb 2024 15:19:42 GMT

Are gaming chairs necessary? Do pro gamers even use gaming chairs? What's the difference between gaming chairs and office chairs? These are important questions for gaming professionals and enthusiasts when setting up a gaming haven.

Choosing the right chair is crucial. We'll explore the intricacies of both types of chairs, highlighting their designs and features and explaining why it matters which one you choose. As the creators of the Ergohuman Carbon, the focus will be on our new line of ergonomic gaming chairs .

Understanding the Difference Between Gaming Chairs and Office Chairs

Traditionally, gaming chairs and office chairs are very different. Commercial gaming chairs are aesthetically bolder, more colourful, and often resemble sports car seats. Office chairs are typically sleeker and more corporate in order to seamlessly blend in with commercial workspaces. Below are a few more key differences between the two seating options.

Ergohuman gaming and office chairs are a bit different from the norm, though. Our gaming chairs stray from the traditional racing style and, instead, we have created a classic design that's more versatile (that won't make you sweat under pressure).

Suitable for any gaming setup, we have three Ultra models available in black, white or red and a super-sleek black carbon model. As for our ergonomic office chairs , the various models are available in a variety of bold and neutral colours, including grey, black, red and even pink.

Both ranges of chairs feature fully adjustable ergonomic features to ensure it suits a diverse range of body types. Users can adjust the seat height, depth, backrest recline, 5D armrests, recline tension and more.

All Comfort Seating's chairs are made with breathable elastomeric mesh to keep you cool, even when the heat is on. Finally, our chairs offer the utmost versatility. Not only can an Ergohuman gaming chair be used for office work, but it's one of the only gaming chairs designed for all gamers. Whether you're a PC, mobile, or console gamer, or transition between modes, this chair is built for you.

Ergonomics in the Ergohuman Gaming Chair

The Ergohuman stands out with incredible ergonomic features specifically crafted for intense gaming sessions. These include 5D armrests, adjustable lumbar support, and a reclining back. Take a look at the features in more detail.

Are Gaming Chairs Good for Your Back?

Many gaming chairs don't prioritise proper posture support, especially in the way office chairs do. But the Ergohuman gaming series prioritises posture and back support. The Ergohuman Carbon chair incorporates lumbar support, promoting the spine's natural curvature.

This crucial design feature ensures a healthy posture, even during prolonged gaming sessions. That equates to less back pain and discomfort.

Dual Purpose - Gaming and Office Use

Once reserved solely for gaming enthusiasts, gaming chairs are now gaining popularity as dual-purpose furniture suitable for office work. Their versatility is evident in their ability to transition between intense gaming sessions and professional tasks seamlessly.

Our chairs are built in the same way. The Ergohuman Ultra gaming chairs provide comfort and functionality, making them a viable option for people who want an ergonomic chair for both work and play. Shop our chairs at the Ergohuman Store .

Adding an optional headrest to your Ergohuman: is it worth it?

Thu, 25 Jan 2024 10:20:07 GMT

The Ergohuman Elite chair is a beacon of ergonomic design, transforming how we approach workplace comfort. Among its many ergonomic features, is the option to include a headrest. Is it worth adding?

An ergonomic headrest can help you achieve optimal support, especially during long hours at your desk. In this comprehensive guide, we delve into the importance of an office chair with a headrest, exploring the benefits. Learn whether you require a headrest in your workspace, its potential drawbacks, and how to adjust it for your needs.

WHAT IS THE ERGOHUMAN CHAIR?

The Ergohuman Elite by Comfort is an ergonomic masterpiece crafted to address unique challenges posed by long periods of desk work. Boasting a design that prioritises comfort and health, the Ergohuman is a favourite among professionals.

This ergonomic office chair goes beyond the conventional with entirely customisable features, including adjustable lumbar support, seat height, armrests, seat slide, and more. One of the standout features is the optional headrest, allowing users to tailor their seating experience even more.

DOES THE ERGOHUMAN CHAIR COME WITH A HEADREST?

The Ergohuman Chair offers the option of including a headrest. But please note that the headrest is not a default feature. It's an optional addition that you can choose based on your preferences and requirements. The flexibility underscores the chair's commitment to customisation, recognising that every individual's needs are unique.

BENEFITS OF AN ERGONOMIC OFFICE CHAIR WITH A HEADRESTs

When investing in a piece of premium office furniture, like the Ergohuman , Mirus Elite or Enjoy Elite , it's important to ensure you prioritise a comfortable working day. A headrest can help with that, but in what way? Below are some of the key benefits of an ergonomic headrest.

DO YOU NEED A HEADREST FOR YOUR OFFICE CHAIR?

While the benefits of an ergonomic headrest are undeniable, it all depends on your preferences and the nature of your work. A headrest can alleviate eye strain at your computer, support proper posture, provide more comfort for your neck and shoulders and improve blood flow. If you are looking for enhanced comfort and require extra support for your well-being, a mesh office chair with a headrest will be a valuable addition to your ergonomic setup.

ARE THERE ANY DISADVANTAGES TO A HEADREST?

While a headrest provides optimal cranium support, some find it interferes with certain tasks or movements. When a person wants to move their head freely, a headrest can become disruptive. A headrest may also not fit everyone's unique head shape or height, making the chair less comfortable. It comes down to personal preference and whether a headrest suits your unique tasks during your working day.

HOW TO ADJUST THE HEADREST ON ERGOHUMAN

Prior to adjusting the headrest, make sure to properly set the chair's seat and back height to accommodate your body. Take a seat in the chair and reach behind your head with both hands. Lift or lower the headrest so that it conforms to the curve of your neck and provides support to the back of your head. Then tilt the headrest on its pivot to maximise its positioning. The headrest should comfortably cradle the lower portion of the back of your head.

Innovative seating: the ergonomic mesh office chair solution

Wed, 24 Jan 2024 20:47:12 GMT

In the landscape of office design, businesses are increasingly prioritising employee well-being. Through office furniture, the environment can become one that easily fosters productivity and good health. One of the standout trends shaping modern spaces is the widespread adoption of ergonomic mesh office chairs. Let's delve into why businesses are opting for these chairs and how innovative seating can transform the workspace.

Understanding the Shift to Ergonomic Solutions

Looking back at how office furniture has changed, we can see a clear shift. Businesses are moving away from traditional seating to embrace ergonomic solutions. This change highlights the growing recognition that employee well-being is crucial to overall business success.

In the past, office furniture focused more on practicality than ensuring employees' comfort. Nowadays, the rise of ergonomic solutions shows a move away from this approach. It signifies a better understanding of the connection between a comfortable work environment and better performance.

This change isn't just a passing trend; it's a strategic decision. It reflects a commitment to creating workplaces that support employee health and productivity. Businesses recognise that caring for their employees is crucial for long-term success in today's professional world.

The Advantages of Ergonomic Mesh Office Chairs

Ergonomic mesh chairs offer stand-out advantages that set them apart from traditional seating options. The elastomeric mesh featured on Ergohuman office chairs provides optimal comfort and support, ensuring a productive work experience.

Mesh is also very breathable, enhancing airflow in order to minimise heat and discomfort during long working days. Furthermore, users can adjust these chairs to cater to individual preferences. The 5D armrests and recline options create a comfortable workspace that meets the needs of each employee.

Looking for advanced comfort? We also offer mesh office chairs with headrests, so additional cranial support. The headrest improves neck and shoulder support, reducing tension while you work. It's also height-adjustable and pivoting to provide the best support for long periods.

Health and Wellness Considerations

The ultimate guide to an ergonomic office setup

Wed, 10 Jan 2024 09:47:26 GMT

An ergonomic office is central to efficient work, comfort, and well-being for individuals who work long hours. Proper ergonomic details can shape a productive experience, allowing you to ease into a focused workflow.

In this ultimate guide to an ergonomic office setup, we will unravel the key details of transforming your workspace. With remote work and flexible hours becoming the norm, we cannot overstate the importance of ergonomics. From the perfect ergonomic office chair to a height-adjustable or standing desk, we will dive into the essentials.

Join us as we explore the Ergohuman Elite chair, Enjoy Elite, and the Mirus: allies in achieving a workspace that meets your professional and health-based needs.

The Key Components of an Ergonomic Office Setup

Creating an ergonomic office can look like taking one baby step at a time. There are many vital elements to the ideal ergonomic office. We'll walk through the most important details that are worth investing in.

Ergonomic desks

An ergonomic desk is one of the centrepieces of any office. When choosing an ergonomic desk, look for one that promotes comfort, efficiency, and well-being over long hours. It should be adjustable and user-friendly while supporting proper posture. Key features include adjustable height settings, a standing option, ample legroom, and customisable configurations.

Desk converters

A desk converter is a device that can be placed on top of your existing desk and allows you to switch between sitting and standing while working. You don’t need to purchase a separate standing desk to enjoy the benefits of a sit-stand desk.

Desk converters typically include a surface for your keyboard and a single or dual monitor arm. You can adjust the monitor's height manually or with the press of a button, making it easy for you to transition smoothly between sitting and standing positions.

Laptop and monitor stands

Laptop stands elevate and support laptops. The main benefit is allowing you a more natural viewing angle, so you aren't tilting your head up or down. This reduces strain on your neck while promoting proper posture. Laptop stands also facilitate improved airflow around the device to prevent overheating.

Top Tip: If you have a standing desk, invest in an anti-fatigue mat which provides cushioning beneath your feet to reduce fatigue. An activation board is also excellent for encouraging dynamic standing: it improves your posture, boosts metabolism, and reduces joint pain while using a standing desk.

Ergonomic mouse and keyboard

Ergonomic mice and keyboards enhance user comfort and reduce the risk of repetitive strain injuries. The ergonomic mice have a contoured shape to support the natural hand position. Some even have a vertical or tilted angle to reduce wrist strain. You may also find strategically placed buttons and a scroll wheel, which improve comfort over long days.

An ergonomic keyboard is often split into two halves to promote a more natural hand and wrist position. The negative slope also encourages a natural wrist alignment. They may also feature a cushioned palm rest, customisable keys and low activation force, so you don't need to press the buttons as hard.

Ergonomic office chairs

An ergonomic desk chair is one of the most important investments when it comes to sitting comfortably. There are many 'ergonomic' chairs on the market, but a true ergonomic chair has technical details that many manufacturers ignore. Comfort Seating is a champion of ergonomic seating. Keep reading to hear all about our three best-selling ergonomic office chairs.

Behind Comfort's Ergonomic Mesh Office Chairs

Comfort Seating is the brain behind the trifecta of ergonomically brilliant chairs: the Ergohuman Elite, Enjoy Elite, and Mirus Generation 2. All three chairs are excellent choices for your ergonomic office setup.

Ergohuman Elite G2

The Ergohuman Elite G2 is the flagship mesh office chair from Comfort. The future of workplace seating, this chair harmonises comfort and style, fostering a productive workplace.

With a sleek design and an integrated lumbar support, this chair is designed for productive working. You can adjust every feature of this chair to ensure it suits your unique shape and build.

Designed for marathon working sessions, the Ergohuman Elite has met the standards of BS 5459. It can support users up to 150 kg (23.5 st) for up to 24 hours per day, making it the ultimate solution for businesses with shift workers. (Or it's just a great choice for workaholics and entrepreneurs).

Enjoy Elite G2

Comfort has reworked the Enjoy Elite Generation 2 into a freshly functional masterpiece. It provides certified comfort for 8-hour sessions, with adjustable armrests and a generously sized backrest. The elastomeric mesh provides ultimate comfort with flex zones that support you even when you make micro-movements.

The careful design targets issues that can cause musculoskeletal issues, such as neck pain and backache. The Enjoy Elite office chair is designed to prevent strain and pain, even during longer working sessions.

It has a unique, intuitive single lever that allows you to adjust the most frequently used chair functions. Adjust the seat height, depth, and back tilt to ensure good posture. Use the separate lever to try Comfort's new forward seat tilt function, which allows you to get closer to your desk, reduce eye strain, and improve blood flow in your legs.

Mirus Elite G2

The final instalment in the trifecta of ergonomic excellence is the Mirus Elite G2 . With exceptional back support and a unique design, this chair provides unparalleled support during your working day. Whether you're a social media manager, a teacher, or a mortgage advisor, a proper ergonomic chair is a must-have.

Let the Mirus be the next addition to your office furniture, whether you have a home office or you're designing an office for your workforce. It features an advanced lumbar system that supports the lower back without interruptions. The curved top section of the split back supports the upper spine so that you can practice healthy posture all day long.

Additional Tips for an Ergonomic Office Setup

When setting up your ergonomic office, consider these eight tips for improving your space:

Keep your feet flat on the floor when adjusting your office chair to ensure a healthy posture. Your knees should be at a 90-degree angle for the best blood circulation.
Set a timer to remind you to take regular breaks to stand, stretch and move around.
Use anti-glare screens to reduce eye strain.
Keep your office organised with the items you use most often within arm's reach.
Use ergonomic wrist rests or pads to support your wrists while typing.
Use an eye-level document holder to reduce head movement and neck strain.
Maintain a neutral spine position while sitting and avoid slouching.
Use a headset for phone calls if you take frequent calls. This minimises the need to cradle your phone between your neck and shoulder.
Choose an office chair with adjustable armrests to reduce strain on your shoulders and forearms.
Invest in a sit-stand solution — desk converters allow you to effortlessly switch from seated working to standing.

The power of an ergonomic office chair in creative thinking

Wed, 10 Jan 2024 09:35:35 GMT

Conventional wisdom encourages us to step out of our comfort zone, but we know there's equal importance in stepping back inside, or at least taking a seat.

Research suggests that alleviating stress can significantly enhance creativity. A high-quality ergonomic office chair is a supportive haven, particularly in creative professions ⁽¹⁾ . Those who are comfortable at work not only enjoy better health but also exhibit heightened productivity ⁽²⁾ .

The Ergohuman chair emerges as a powerful ally for creative thinkers. See how it contributes to the physical and mental well-being of those in creative workspaces.

Are premium ergonomic office chairs worth it?

Thu, 28 Dec 2023 18:02:52 GMT

While the upfront cost of a high-end office chair may raise eyebrows, the long-term benefits often outweigh the initial investment. Most office workers spent 67 sedentary days per year at their desks ⁽¹⁾ . When spending up to nine hours per day in your office chair, it's crucial that you choose one with proper ergonomic support.

A quality ergonomic office chair will bear a higher price tag. You might be wondering, 'Are expensive office chairs worth it?' Concerning insights reveal that prolonged sitting in office chairs leads to injury, illness, and pain. The cost of an office chair may not be as much of a strain when considering its benefits.

We're going to delve into the reasons why expensive ergonomic office chairs are worth considering for a professional workspace.

The Ergonomic Edge

If you sit at your desk for hours each day, your task chair becomes a tool. A skilled electrician uses quality tools, just as a renowned neurosurgeon uses top-notch equipment. So why should those with long work hours sacrifice comfort, support and true ergonomics when choosing an office chair?

A high-quality ergonomic seat, such as the Ergohuman chair , offers an ergonomic edge like no other. With tailored support, expensive office chairs are designed with precision to provide comprehensive support to your body.

With adjustable features, such as seat height adjustment, seat depth, and adjustable arms, you can ensure a personal experience. True comfort can reduce the risk of musculoskeletal issues.

When you're young and spritely, choosing a cute but budget-friendly chair may be fine. But once you get to your 30s and 40s, comfort becomes essential. Most people who invest in an executive chair with ergonomic features don't regret it.

It's a long-term health investment

Prioritising employee well-being pays dividends in the long run. Quality ergonomic chairs contribute to better posture, especially with adjustable lumbar support. This reduces the likelihood of chronic back pain and discomfort, increasing productivity and decreasing absenteeism.

When you spend a few days in your new ergonomic office chair, you may quickly notice that previous backache and sore arms recover. With less distraction and fatigue, your workforce can focus on better productivity.

The office chair, akin to a mattress or a pair of shoes, is fundamental in a professional setting. You need to invest in quality, but you should also test a few options to find what works for you. Interested in the Ergohuman chair? Contact us, and we'll point you toward your nearest showroom.

Durability and Longevity

Premium office chairs are crafted from high-quality materials that withstand the rigours of daily use. The durability of such chairs, including the Ergohuman Elite, ensures they maintain their supportive features for an extended period. Therefore, these seating solutions become a wise investment for businesses looking for lasting value.

Warranty and customer support

Reputable manufacturers stand by the quality of their products, often offering extended warranties and excellent customer support. This level of commitment reflects confidence in the chair's durability and gives businesses peace of mind. Cheaper chairs often only have a warranty between 30 days and one year.

Comfort's Ergohuman Elite G2 boasts a 10-year warranty, so you can rest assured of its construction.

Productivity & Performance

Comfortable sitting positions foster an environment where employees can focus on tasks without the distraction of discomfort. The improved concentration can lead to increased productivity and higher-quality work output.

Although you may need to take time to adjust the settings, once you find your flow, it's easy to make changes to the adjustable armrests, the tilt mechanism, the back recline, and other features.

Expensive ergonomic chairs are also designed to accommodate various working styles. Whether you're engaging in collaborative meetings or focused on individual tasks, these chairs can adapt to the user's needs, promoting flexibility and efficiency.

The Ergohuman, Enjoy Elite, and Mirus Elite all have 5D adjustable armrests, making them excellent choices for various jobs. The armrests accommodate individuals who are typing, writing, and operating handheld devices. You can tilt the armrests up for better support on the wrists and forearm and angle them in for a more comfortable typing position.

Corporate Aesthetics:
Professionalism in Quality Seating

The appearance of a well-designed, high-quality chair adds to the overall professional image of a corporation. A thoughtfully curated workspace with beautiful office furniture, including premium seating, communicates a commitment to employee satisfaction and sets a positive tone for clients and visitors.

Comfort's range of mesh office chairs is available in various colours. Choose from a black or grey frame finished with mesh in black, scarlet, pink, green, blue and more.

Striking the Balance:
Cost & Product

In the realm of office furniture, the old adage 'you get what you pay for' holds true. However, many executive office chairs are simply overpriced. At Comfort, we aim to strike a balance between quality and cost. The Ergohuman Elite is our flagship model, but the Enjoy Elite or Mirus Elite are excellent options if you are on a tighter budget.

Ultimately, the upfront cost of a more expensive ergonomic office chair is worth it. Although it may seem steep, the long-term benefits regarding health, durability, and productivity make them a prudent investment. By prioritising comfort and well-being, businesses can create a workspace that looks professional while fostering a culture of success.

Set Small Goals for Productive Working

Once you've configured the Enjoy office chair and settled into your work, it's important to set small goals to punctuate your day. Prioritising the most challenging tasks during your most focused hours can significantly increase productivity. It is also helpful to divide smaller tasks and address them towards the end of the day. This approach can help individuals better manage their workload and achieve their goals efficiently.

Between completing your goals, make sure you take short breaks. The Pomodoro method is excellent for keeping you focused and boosting your productivity. For instance, you can work for 50 minutes solid before taking a 10-minute break. Repeat this throughout your working day.

Whether you're working from home or enjoying the ergonomic chair in the office, regular breaks are important, no matter your type of work.

Spending Eight Hours in the Enjoy Elite

Additionally, the chair has a 10-year warranty, which adds to its value and reliability.

However, you must regularly check your seating position and posture to ensure you're sitting correctly. No matter how ergonomic a chair is, it's down to the user to utilise it correctly. Avoid slouching, crossing your legs, or tucking your legs up on the seat. Over time, this can lead to musculoskeletal issues, backache, and neck pain.

At Comfort, employee wellness and health are our top priorities, and we have designed a chair that addresses these common issues. But it all comes down to how you set up your Enjoy Elite and use it throughout your working day.

Wrapping Up Your Work

When it's time to wrap up your projects and head home, avoid resetting your ergonomic office chair . Comfort has designed the chairs so each user can personalise their chair set up, so it's important to keep the settings where they're at. When you return to work, all you need to do is sit down, sit up straight, and get to work.

Adjusting the chair properly can improve your productivity. With exact support for your unique body, you can spend more time focused on tasks and less time bothered by pain and discomfort.

At Comfort, we have a range of ergonomic mesh office chairs, including the Enjoy Elite, Ergohuman Elite, and Mirus. Each chair offers a different design and feature changes so you can find the right chair for your workspace. Contact us , and we will put you in touch with your local dealer.

Ergohuman Elite G2 chair: a revolution in back support

Tue, 12 Dec 2023 12:19:03 GMT

In our busy world, a comfortable office chair is crucial for those who spend long hours at their desks. According to the Office of National Statistics, musculoskeletal problems, including back pain, neck problems, and upper limb issues, was the second most common reason for sickness absence in the UK between 2019 and 2022.

The Ergohuman office chair by Comfort Seating stands out as a beacon of innovation. This meticulously designed chair addresses the crucial issue of back support.

Featuring a blend of ergonomic design and cutting-edge technology, this chair transforms your seating experience. Let's delve into the details.

Lumbar Support: A Backbone of Comfort

Its exceptional lumbar support lies at the heart of the Ergohuman Elite G2's back support system. The chair boasts an adjustable lumbar support system that you can customise to suit the natural curve of your spine. This feature is a breakthrough for those who suffer from lower back pain or discomfort. It provides targeted support where you need it most.

The lumbar support in the Ergohuman Elite G2 is not a one-size-fits-all solution. You can adapt the dynamic feature to fit your unique body shape. This allows you to maintain the natural curvature of the spine and enjoy a healthy sitting posture. Say goodbye to strain on your lower back muscles with the Ergohuman Elite .

You can easily fine-tune the lumbar support to find your optimal comfort level. Comfort has made a unique ergonomic mesh office chair for back pain that is a versatile choice for a diverse range of users.

Our Genidia chair includes a posture warning device that beeps when sitting incorrectly. After 60 seconds of improper posture, the sensors are activated. They will reset when you adjust your posture. You can turn this warning device on or off, depending on your preferences.

Setting Up Your Comfortable Office Chair

A true ergonomic chair can be adjusted to suit each individual user. When your chair arrives, it won’t be perfect for you out of the box. It’s crucial that you set the chair up correctly to suit your body shape, height, and spine curvatures. This is what makes the chair impressively ergonomic and a steadfast defence against back pain.

If the chair is incorrectly set up — for instance, the armrests are positioned too high — you will quickly feel strained and uncomfortable.

If you would like help to set up your chair for the ultimate healthy posture, contact us , and we will put you in touch with a specialist to help you set up your chair properly. If you have been experiencing chronic issues, we can connect you with a posture specialist who will help you adjust the chair for your unique needs.

Mesh Flex Zones: Breathing Life into Support

One of the standout features of the Ergohuman chair is the advanced mesh material with strategically placed flex zones. Unlike traditional chairs with rigid backrests, the Ergohuman's mesh back flexes and conforms to your movements. This enhances comfort and provides continuous support to the back, adjusting to the body's natural contours.

The flex zones provide different levels of support to the lumbar and thoracic back regions. This dynamic support ensures that you experience consistent comfort throughout extended periods of sitting. The mesh back also allows for improved air circulation, preventing heat build-up. Now, you can stay cool during prolonged work sessions and demanding tasks.

Reducing Musculoskeletal Problems:
A Healthier Way to Work

Musculoskeletal problems, often associated with prolonged sitting, are a growing concern in the modern workplace. The Ergohuman Elite G2 takes a proactive approach to address these issues. By promoting a healthy sitting posture, the chair minimises stress on the spine and surrounding muscles.

The ergonomic chair encourages users to maintain a neutral spine position with flex zones and customisable lumbar support. In turn, this reduces the risk of developing musculoskeletal problems such as back pain, stiffness, and poor posture.

The Ergohuman Elite G2 is not just a chair. It's a proactive solution designed to enhance your overall well-being during your working day.

Ergohuman Elite G2:
Beyond Comfort, a Design Marvel

Beyond its functional superiority, the Ergohuman Elite G2 chair showcases a sleek and modern design. The chair's aesthetic appeal and thoughtful engineering create a harmonious balance between form and function. The polished frame and high-quality materials enhance the chair's durability and elevate the workplace vibe.

Moreover, the Ergohuman Elite G2 is equipped with a synchronised tilt mechanism, allowing you to recline effortlessly while maintaining proper support for the spine. This promotes dynamic sitting, preventing stiffness and enhancing overall flexibility. The forward seat tilt feature helps to open the pelvis and reduce pressure on the underside of the thighs, which increases healthy blood flow.

Overall, the chair's intuitive controls make adjustments a breeze, ensuring you can easily personalise your sitting experience.

Comfort Seating’s chairs feature other ergonomic features that promote personalisation, including:

Adjustable back height
Adjustable seat height.
Width, height, depth, angle-adjustable armrests with armpad tilt ajustment.
Adjustable seat depth.
Synchro tilt mechanism.
Height adjustable pivoting headrest (optional).
Optional legrest.

In essence, the Ergohuman Elite G2 becomes a holistic solution redefining how we experience comfort at work. By seamlessly combining advanced back support features with a stylish design, this chair is a testament to Comfort's commitment to well-being and productivity in today's demanding work environments.

Fabric vs. mesh office chairs: the great debate

Thu, 07 Dec 2023 21:32:33 GMT

There is a great question that plagues many people who are in the market for a new office chair: mesh or fabric? Which material is best for a task chair?

Fabric and mesh office chairs have advantages and disadvantages that may influence your decision. Both can be brilliant for ergono mic office chair s , but it boils down to the quality of the material, the manufacturer, and the design.

As experts in comfortable office chairs , Comfort Seating will offer insights that empower you to make decisions that will optimise well-being and productivity in the workplace.

It’s time to unravel the fabric of office chair selection, exploring the mesh of possibilities that await.

What is mesh?

Mesh fabric is a lightweight material with an open-weave or net-like structure. It’s created by interlocking yarns or fibres in a loose weave. The resulting pattern forms a breathable and flexible textile commonly used in various applications such as clothing, accessories, and, notably, office chairs.

Mesh is also sometimes called power mesh, tulle, or powernet. It’s an extremely strong and breathable fabric made from polyester, nylon, or spandex – durable synthetic materials

What is fabric?

There are various types of fabric materials and textiles that can be used for upholstering office chairs. The most common ones include nylon, polyester, and blends of these materials. These are especially popular because of their stain resistance and durability.

The foam cushion in office chairs is typically layered and shaped and then glued to the fabric. Foam can vary in density – the denser the foam, the firmer and more durable it is.

Some fabrics are more comfortable and breathable than others. The choice of fabric can significantly impact the chair’s appearance, quality, and cleanability, making it difficult to commit to a task chair.

Pros of mesh office chairs

Mesh offers several advantages, making it a popular choice in ergonomic seating. Comfort Seating’s chairs, including the globally acclaimed Ergohuman Elite G2 , utilise mesh upholstery.

Breathability

A breathable mesh material allows for excellent air circulation, preventing heat build-up during prolonged periods of sitting. Not only is this extra comfortable, but it keeps you nice and cool.

Flexible

Mesh is a flexible material that conforms to the body’s contours, providing a supportive feel. It distributes weight evenly, reducing your pressure points and enhancing overall comfort. Mesh also moves with you, so when they make micro-movements — such as leaning to the side to reach for a book — the mesh continues to support the body.

Improves posture

Premium mesh office chairs support different parts of the body and back to improve your posture. From the seat slide to the adjustable lumbar, Comfort Seating has provided the ergonomic solution for improving posture.

Ergohuman office chairs also use different strengths of elastomeric weaves for the back and seat, providing the right level of support for each area.

Anti-slip

Mesh office chairs , including the Ergohuman office chairs, often include anti-slip properties. Anti-slip mesh provides constant support to the user, so they don’t slide down or forward when in the chair. In fact, the Ergohuman chair is certified for 24 hour use, allowing you to sit comfortably for marathon working sessions.

Durability

High-quality mesh, like those featured in Comfort Seating’s ergonomic chairs, is highly durable and resistant to wear and tear, especially regarding seat sagging. You can expect a longer lifespan for the chair, even in high-traffic office environments.

Modern

Aesthetically, mesh office chairs are contemporary and sleek, and often come in a wide range of colours, contributing to a modern and professional look in office spaces. Mesh chairs also help spaces feel more airy and open rather than appearing as a block of solid textiles.

Easy to maintain

Mesh office chairs are easy to clean and maintain, making them a practical choice for busy workspaces. You can easily wipe away stains and spills, such as a tea or coffee mishap and they dry quickly so you can use them soon after without risking a soggy bottom.

Ergonomic adjustability

Mesh chairs, including the Ergohuman chair , often come with adjustable features, allowing you to customise the chair to your size and comfort preferences. This includes the seat height, depth, tilt, adjustable armrests, and lumbar support.

For extra adjustability, consider choosing a mesh office chair with a headrest, making your overall seating experience miles more comfortable.

Environmentally friendly

Some mesh materials are recyclable, contributing to sustainability efforts in office furniture production. Comfort Seating task chairs use recyclable mesh, making them some of the most recyclable office chairs on the market.

Anti-static

Mesh office chairs are made from materials with anti-static properties, such as polyester and nylon. In the workplace, static electricity can be a concern, especially when there is sensitive electric equipment nearby.

Our range of chairs features various unparalleled features designed for your comfort and convenience. From our ingeniously simple single lever control to operate the most frequently used function to angle-adjustable arms, let Comfort Seating deliver body-contoured ergonomics to your workspace.

CONs of mesh office chairs

While mesh has many advantages, there are some drawbacks to be aware of:

Low-quality

Some mesh can be cheap or low-quality, which can be abrasive or lead to sagging and tearing over time. Comfort Seating’s mesh is soft to the touch, extremely high-quality and boasts a 10-year warranty.

Less padding

Mesh chairs often have less padding than traditional upholstered chairs, which can be a drawback for those who prefer a more spongey seated experience during their working day.

Less traditional appeal

Mesh office chairs are more modern and practical, but they might not appeal to those with more traditional office decor or workspace. Some models of mesh chairs are available in limited designs, colours, and textures, meaning they might not merge seamlessly into every office.

Cost

High-quality mesh chairs can be more expensive than traditional upholstered chairs, which can impact some buyers' decisions.

Limited insulation

Cheaper mesh doesn’t provide insulation in the same way that foam-filled upholstery does. In cold spaces, you might find some mesh chairs are less warm during winter months. Comfort's mesh upholstery has been designed to allow breathability while retaining enough of the user's body warmth without too much heat build-up.

Potential for snagging

The open design of mesh can make poor quality mesh chairs more prone to snagging on clothes or jewellery, potentially causing damage to the chair.

PROS of FABRIC office chairs

Fabric continues to be a popular choice in workplace settings. Below are the main advantages.

Comfort

Fabric chairs contain foam filling, which can be soft and comfortable, providing a plush seating experience. The upholstery can provide a cushioned feel, making them a preferred choice for some.

Versatility

Fabric comes in a wide range of colours, patterns, and textures, allowing for diverse design options. This allows you to match the chair to their office decor and workplace aesthetics.

Insulation

Fabric provides great insulation, especially in colder environments. Fabric chairs can be warmer as they retain heat, offering a cosier seating experience.

Stain resistance

Like mesh, many manufacturers treat their fabrics to be stain-resistant and easy to clean. In an environment where spills are likely, fabric can be a good choice, although it’s not as cleanable as mesh.

Aesthetic appeal

Fabric chairs often have a classic and professional appearance, making them suitable for traditional office settings. They can contribute to a more formal look.

Ergonomic adjustability

Fabric chairs often come with hidden adjustable ergonomic features such as inflatable lumbar support, allowing you to customise the chair for improved comfort and support.

Cost-effective options

Fabric chairs can be more budget-friendly than some high-end mesh or leather alternatives, making them popular for home offices or small businesses where cost is a driving factor.

Wide availability

Fabric office chairs are widely available, making them accessible for businesses and individuals looking for an affordable seating option.

CONS of FABRIC office chairs

Although fabric is a great choice for many people, it does have important drawbacks to be aware of.

Harder to clean

Although some fabrics are stain-resistant, overall, fabric is susceptible to stains. Cleaning can be more of a challenge than with mesh especially due to its foam filling, and spills can leave lasting stains.

Design limitations

Due to the bulkiness of the foam cushioning, some fabric chairs have limited adjustability, which can result in the loss of valuable ergonomic functions like seat slide, seat forward tilt, or back height adjustment. When selecting an office chair for healthy posture, it's important to prioritise features that promote better blood flow throughout the body.

Durability

Over time, fabric chairs may show signs of aging, wear, and tear. The upholstery can fade, fray, or become worn in high-use areas, impacting the chair’s aesthetics. The foam filling in fabric chairs can compress over time, resulting in hard and uncomfortable cushions and fabric puddling.

Breathability

Compared to mesh, fabric does not provide the same level of breathability. In warmer environments, fabric chairs may be less comfortable because of reduced air circulation.

Allergen accumulation

Fabric can trap allergens such as dust and pet dander, potentially causing discomfort for those with allergies ⁽¹⁾ .To mitigate the issue, you must clean and maintain the chair regularly.

Weight

Fabric chairs can be heavier than mesh office chairs, which can affect portability and ease of movement.

Odour retention

Fabric and foam can absorb and retain odours over time, especially if spills and accidents occur. It can be challenging to eliminate the odours completely, affecting the freshness of the chair. If the chair is used in a communal workplace, this can be off-putting.

Potential for fading

Depending on the fabric’s quality and the exposure to sunlight, the fabric may fade over time, impacting the appearance of the chair.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Mesh v s . fabric: the final verdict

When deciding between a mesh chair or a fabric chair, it all comes down to the quality of the chair. Overall, a mesh office chair is an excellent choice for busy workplaces with high traffic. Ergonomic mesh chairs using high-quality materials are durable, easy to clean, and support the body’s natural contours.

On the other hand, fabric office chairs might be a better choice if you’re on a tighter budget or looking for something that matches a specific aesthetic. But it’s worth noting that they wear down quicker, can trap allergens, and are very warm during the summer months.

If you’re in the market for an ergonomic mesh office chair, consider a Comfort Seating chair, such as the Ergohuman Elite or Enjoy Elite . Our chairs are ergonomic enough to suit most users, regardless of height, shape, or weight.

Health benefits of the Ergohuman office chair

Wed, 22 Nov 2023 14:54:30 GMT

If you sit at a desk for a few hours every day, you're at increased risk of musculoskeletal issues and pain ¹ . An optimal office chair is essential for an employee's health, well-being and productivity.

The Ergohuman Elite G2 office chair is a true investment for those championing workplace well-being. It has various adjustable features, including seat height, recline tension and lumbar support.

From impacting productivity to promoting blood circulation, we unravel the facets that make the Ergohuman indispensable for workplace wellness. Discover the top 10 health benefits of the Ergohuman office chair and experience its ergonomic excellence.

What is an ergonomic chair?

A genuinely ergonomic office chair provides effective and comfortable support, especially during extended periods at a desk or screen. The ergonomic chair offers customisation and adjustment, enabling individuals to tailor it to their body, height, and weight.

It will also enhance posture, comfort, and overall well-being during work. The chair's customisable features (seat height, lumbar support, and seat pan adjustments) achieve this.

By adjusting these elements, users can properly distribute their weight. A quality ergonomic office chair, such as the Ergohuman, offers a solution for various body sizes and shapes.

In essence, a good ergonomic chair promotes improved posture, reduces strain, and minimises the risk of musculoskeletal issues. This ensures users experience optimal comfort, support, and flexibility for correct sitting.

Is an ergonomic chair worth it?

Investing in an ergonomic chair hinges on individual needs and budgets. However, long-term comfort and health benefits often outweigh the initial cost.

Studies have found that investing in ergonomic designs and furniture is capital to reduce musculoskeletal issues in the workplace. Ergonomic chairs boost employee well-being, productivity, and, of course, comfort.

10 Health Benefits of an Ergohuman Office Chair

Improved posture

Ergonomic chairs enhance posture by providing optimal support to the spine's natural curvature. The Ergohuman's automatic lumbar support and strategically designed shape promote a natural sitting position.

This leads to less strain on the back and neck, reducing the risk of workplace injury. For those working long hours, the Ergohuman is an exceptional solution to poor posture.

Reduced neck strain

The Ergohuman office chair allows for a neutral neck position by aligning your eye level with the desktop. This reduces stress on the neck muscles and cervical spine, preventing discomfort and strain. Ultimately, the chair allows users to foster a more relaxed and ergonomic posture.

If users add on the optional headrest, they can benefit from even more neck and head support. It's height- and angle-adjustable, allowing you to relax neck and shoulder muscles while supporting the back of the head. This is especially useful when the chair is in recline mode.

Increased productivity

The Ergohuman Elite chair elevates productivity by fostering a comfortable and supportive workspace. The design's flexibility, including customisable features like seat height, reduces physical comfort. With fewer distractions and more relaxation, employees are better able to concentrate, allowing sustained focus on important tasks.

Enhanced posture from the Ergohuman chair further boosts overall work performance. Creating an ergonomically optimised environment is a quintessential business investment for employee well-being, efficiency, and output.

Lower back support

The Ergohuman office chair provides essential support. It has unique automatic lumbar support and adjustable seat depth, curving to the natural shape of the lower back. This targeted support reduces pressures on the lumbar spine, mitigating the risk of back pain. It also promotes a healthier sitting posture.

By prioritising lumbar support, the Ergohuman is instrumental in creating a conducive and comfortable work environment, ultimately enhancing employee health and productivity.

Prevention of muscular pain

Ergonomic chairs act as preventive measures against muscular pain by providing tailored support to the body's natural contours. Comfort designed the Ergohuman to reduce strain on muscles and joints, promoting proper alignment and posture.

The adjustable features allow you to adapt the chair to your unique needs, minimising the risk of discomfort. The curved waterfall seat, versus a flat pan, can reduce upper body pain, creating a more conducive work environment.

Enhanced blood circulation

The Ergohuman office chair enhances blood circulation by promoting proper spinal alignment and minimising pressure points. Improved circulation ensures optimal oxygen and nutrient delivery to muscles, enhancing overall vitality and focus.

Adjustable features like seat height and contours allow for sustained comfort and well-being in ergonomic chairs.

Improved breathing

Poorly designed chairs can inhibit your breathing. The Ergohuman chair supports the natural curvature of the spine. This reduces strain on the chest and diaphragm, improving your breathing.

Unobstructed airflow is essential for improving oxygen intake, leading to better well-being. Better oxygen intake fosters a more energised and focused work session.

Better digestion

The health benefits of the Ergohuman office chair don't stop there. This ergonomic office chair can also impact digestion by promoting an upright and comfortable sitting. With proper spine alignment, there is less pressure on the digestive organs.

This alignment aids a more efficient digestive process, minimising pain and discomfort. With a more comfortable seating experience, employees can focus more on important tasks without worrying about digestive cramps.

Prevention of eye strain

It's important to be around 25 inches away from a screen and for the screen to be just lower than eye level. You shouldn't look downwards more than 15 degrees. The Ergohuman chair allows you to adjust the seat height to align your eye level with your monitor.

This is great for preventing eye strain, as well as neck and back discomfort. When you slouch over a desk, notebook, or laptop, your eyes become strained, and you work harder to focus on the screen. The Ergohuman chair helps you align with your monitor, reducing the strain on your eyes when viewing your work.

Reduced fatigue

When you work long hours, inevitably, you will feel fatigued. It's important to take regular breaks and ensure a healthy work-life balance. However, a quality ergonomic chair can reduce undue fatigue during your working hours.

The Ergohuman Elite G2 provides optimal support to the body, reducing strain on muscles and joints. Less physical stress prevents the onset of fatigue during working hours. As businesses focus on ergonomics, they invest in a solution that enhances well-being while actively combating workplace fatigue.

Impact on mental well-being

Employees who feel more supported by their workplace experience a boost in mental well-being. Quality ergonomic chairs, like the Ergohuman Elite chair, create an inviting workspace and help employees feel cared for.

Employees with comfortable seating experience reduced physical discomfort, leading to fewer distractions and better focus. In turn, this positively influences mood and mental clarity.

Reduce absenteeism

Ergonomic workspaces can reduce employee absence by up to 88% [²] . When a business prioritises employee well-being and comfort through quality ergonomic furniture and design, employees experience a more conducive and healthy work environment.

Reduced physical discomfort, improved posture and minimised muscle strain are very important to employees. When their workspace is more comfortable than their home office, they are more likely to head into the office. With fewer work-related injuries or discomforts, employees are less likely to take sick days. This can help them stay healthy and work more productively.

What are the benefits of ergonomic office chairs over regular chairs?

Ergonomic office chairs, distinguished by their thoughtful design, surpass regular seating options. They have many benefits that boost physical well-being and workplace efficiency.

Ergonomic office chairs are uniquely crafted to cradle the spine's natural curvature and instil a refined posture, mitigating the risk of musculoskeletal issues that can plague conventional seating.

An automatic lumbar support system further distinguishes these chairs, ensuring a support solution that alleviates lower back strain, a common concern in traditional chairs.

Ergonomic office chairs, like the Ergohuman Elite, feature vast customisation. Users can adjust the seat height, armrests and reclining angle to uniquely tailor the seat to their individual body shape. Adjusting the chair directly influences productivity, enhancing concentration and job satisfaction.

Plus Upgrade: To experience better support and aesthetics, upgrade to an Ergohuman Plus. The Ergohuman Plus features a back limiter feature and enhanced aluminium detailing.

Are ergonomic office chairs essential for today’s offices?

As experts in ergonomic seating, we believe that ergonomic office chairs are essential for today's workspaces. In the contemporary workspace, where employees spend prolonged hours at seated desks, making a point of health and well-being is paramount.

Ergonomic chairs are purposefully designed to provide optimal support, reducing the risk of discomfort and pain. The sedentary nature of many modern jobs underscores the importance of investing in adjustable seating.

Beyond the immediate health benefits, ergonomic chairs contribute to increased focus and concentration. Adopting ergonomic office chairs is not merely a luxury but a strategic investment into workforce well-being. Providing these chairs evolves the nature of work and commitment to creating an environment that allows employees to thrive physically and professionally.

The tilt-up feature is perfect for users who are using hand-held devices, such as phones, tablets or gaming controllers.

Users commend Comfort chairs for their exceptional support and organic curves to support the user’s entire body.

Introducing Pro-Fit office chair by Comfort Seating

Fri, 01 Sep 2023 21:24:58 GMT

Introducing the Pro-Fit chair – a customisable seating solution designed to accommodate and support different heights, weights, and body types. The Comfort Research, Development and Design team meticulously studied different work and gaming habits and designed Pro-Fit to revolutionise the way we experience sitting.

Revolutionary Spine Support for Reducing Back Discomfort

Pro-Fit features a cutting-edge spinal support system designed to emulate the natural structure of human vertebrate, complete with rib-like segments. Our product design team recognise that every individual has a unique body shape and height, so Pro-Fit's Smart Spine has been engineered to effortlessly adapt to seven different positions to accommodate users of varying heights ranging from 150 to 190 cm.

While conventional office chairs only provide support to the three joints of the lumbar spine (mid-lower back), Pro-Fit's Smart Spine goes above and beyond, providing support to five joints in the lumbar spine, an additional three joints in the thoracic spine (mid-back), and one joint in the sacrum spine (lower back). With such precise and adjustable support for your back, you'll be able to work and engage in prolonged work or gaming sessions with utmost comfort, free from any discomfort.

Introducing the Ultimate Headrest Solution for Every Working Style

Say goodbye to the discomfort and pain caused by headrests on traditional office chairs. The Pro-Fit chair revolutionises your seating experience with its multi-adjustable headrest, offering unmatched comfort and optimum support.

Unlike fixed or minimally adjustable headrests, the Pro-Fit chair allows you to easily customise the height, tilt, and angle of the headrest to suit your individual needs. For taller individuals, not only can you adjust the headrest height directly from the top of the backrest, but you can also extend it further using the headrest extender for ultimate comfort.

But that's not all – you have full control over the tilt and angle of the headrest, enabling you to create the perfect position that caters to your specific requirements. Whether you're sitting upright, engrossed in your computer work, or leaning back on a call, the Pro-Fit headrest will cradle your head and neck in the most optimal manner.

Additionally, the headrest is designed with flexible mesh textiles, ensuring exceptional comfort and support for heads of various shapes and sizes. Experience the ultimate headrest solution that prioritises your well-being and enhances your productivity.

Customising the Chair

Back

Activate the backrest recline using the single lever control. Use in free-float mode for dynamic movement, or lock the backrest at four tilt positions. Adjust the recline resistance using the tension control lever for relaxed or firmer support.

Seat

Another useful feature is the adjustable seat length. Posture experts recommend, in order to sit comfortably, your feet should sit flat on the floor with your knees just slightly lower than your hips. You should be able to insert two fingers between the back of your knees and the seat.

Taller users can adjust the chair’s height using a single lever and the seat depth can be lengthened easily by extending the seat roll. Properly supported legs alleviate pressure from the hips, letting you sit for long hours without pain.

Armrests

Adjust the 5D armrests to your preferred height, angle, depth, width and armpad tilt to customise your support.

DESIGNED FOR YOU

The Pro-Fit chair is designed with both form and function in mind. Its smart design ensures optimal support for your back, while also offering a visually pleasing addition to any space. The back and seat of the chair is upholstered with a soft yet resilient mesh material, providing a comfortable seating experience.Choose from a black or light grey frame, and mesh colours include sleek black, light blue, green, and red and pink. You can be sure to find the right aesthetic for you interior.

Regardless of your colour and material preference, Pro-Fit guarantees a sleek and contemporary chair that effortlessly complements any office or study room.
