Are you sitting right?
With the development of economy and the progress of society, more and more people are engaged in the office work where the wind does not blow and the sun does not shine. However, this seemingly decent work is also at the cost of sacrificing health to some extent. For urban white-collar workers, office work is accompanied by “sedentary”.
The harm of sitting for a long time to the body is a subtle change from quantitative to qualitative process. On the surface, sitting for a long time makes many small partners start cervical spine stiffness, waist acid, back pain at a young age, and a variety of “parts” on the body begin to alarm; On a deeper level, sitting for too long can affect the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems if left unchecked. So, the question is, given the inevitability of sedentary office work, how can we better protect ourselves?
The damage caused by persistent poor sitting posture to the body is mainly because the body is in a posture for a long time, so that the cervical spine, spine, arm, hip, thigh and other parts continue to bear greater pressure. Over time, the accumulation of hard work leads to disease.
After analyzing the reasons, it is necessary to release the pressure on all parts of the body to relieve the damage of sitting for a long time. There are mainly the following ways:
1. Regular activity to avoid being in a sitting position for a long time. This method has good effect and low cost, but it is difficult to achieve in the present, the most common saying of workers is, “Today is too busy to go to the bathroom”…
2, in the sitting state, try to reduce the pressure on all parts of the body. Although they are all sitting, there is a big difference in the physical sense of different ways, sitting on the bench for a while will be uncomfortable, and sitting on the big sofa for a long time, will not feel tired. So, if you’re inevitably going to have to sit for a long time, it’s worth choosing a reliable chair. Under such demand, ergonomic chair gradually entered our vision, become a lot of small partners to relieve the pressure of sitting for a long time artifact, is also one of the core staff benefits of many large factories.
Is ergonomic chair an IQ tax?
Although the recognition of ergonomic chair more and more people, but less than thousands, more than tens of thousands of the price, so that a lot of partners to it prohibitive, and there are still some people think ergonomic chair is IQ tax. Is that really the case?
How to Relieve Sitting Stress?
As is known to all, our bodies show natural curves. Although the spine, as the “pillar” of the body, cannot be seen, it also presents four physiological curves: cervical flexion, thoracic flexion, lumbar flexion and sacral flexion. Moreover, everyone is different in height and weight, and the proportion of various parts of the body is also different. However, it is difficult to satisfy the personalized feeling of thousands of people, let alone the comfortable support experience.
Relatively speaking, more than one thousand ergonomic chair, can have a rich adjustment ability, such as head support, back support, waist support, hip leg support, height adjustment, armrest adjustment, elevation adjustment and other functions. It can be said that through the powerful and rich adjustment ability, ergonomic chair can become a “private customized” chair, so as to maximize our body, to provide stable and powerful support for the key parts of the body, to achieve the purpose of decompression and relaxation.
The price difference is that big. What’s the difference?
Maybe you will ask, since the entry-level ergonomic chair has a good support, adjustment ability, then thousands or even tens of thousands of products, is IQ tax? Not really.
Ergonomic chair grade division
Based on my experience and understanding of more than a dozen ergonomic chairs of different grades, I think ergonomic chairs of different prices can be divided in this way: entry level within 1,000 yuan, which can meet the basic adjustment and support needs; The function is richer and more comprehensive, the adjustment range is larger, and the support experience is better; The range of 2000-4000 yuan belongs to the middle and high-end products, the material and design details have been comprehensively improved, the function adjustment is more delicate and accurate, and the overall experience is better. As the price goes higher, the overall experience will continue to rise, but it will not be in the mainstream of the average consumer’s consumption, which we won’t discuss much. I conclude that different grades of ergonomic chairs will have obvious differences in the following aspects.
1. Workmanship and design. Although they are ergonomic chairs, the price difference of different grades of products is quite large, so the difference of different grades of workmanship is quite obvious. To choose lower-priced products, we should hold an inclusive attitude towards the details of product workmanship. Higher grade products, there will be more comfort and humanized design.
2. Material. Material is also an important form of product price, and related to the texture of the product, stability and durability. For example, common frame materials include steel, nylon, glass fiber, aluminum alloy, aluminum alloy material has high reliability, excellent texture, the amount and quality have a certain positive correlation; Common cushion in the form of mesh cloth, sponge, even if the same material, different prices on the quality will be different, directly affect the use experience and product life.
3. Security. For the ergonomic chair, the safety component is mainly the pressure bar. There are four levels of pressure rods, the higher the level, the safer. Do not choose cheap ergonomic chair, safety is difficult to ensure. Big brand products will be matched according to the price can ensure the safe use of three or four pressure rods, four heat treatment, greater wall thickness, higher comprehensive safety. In addition, with the increase of price, the chassis of ergonomic chair will also be upgraded from steel to aluminum alloy explosion-proof chassis, with high specifications of pressure bar, fully ensure the use of safety.
4, the ability to adjust. The adjustable parts of ergonomic chair mainly include headrest, backrest, waist support, armrest and so on. With the increase of price, the adjustment range, adjustment accuracy and adjustment experience will be improved. The ergonomic chair of high grade is easier to realize the accurate adaptation of the user’s body type and different sitting posture, to achieve the purpose of providing strong support for different scenes.
How do you choose the different grades?
What ergonomic chair is more suitable for yourself? I think it is still based on the budget in your pocket, but I personally recommend in the class and high-end price selection, ergonomic chair within one thousand yuan if not a particularly tight budget is not recommended to choose, cost constraints, material, workmanship, function will appear a certain compromise, low price does not necessarily have a long life experience. If the budget is mentioned into the class, under the premise of ensuring safe use, it can basically cover the mainstream functions of ergonomic chair, and the use experience is relatively reliable.
