The ergonomic office chair has been a relatively recent creation and it has significantly helped to make offices more productive and reduce the number of days that workers take sick as a result of back injuries and other office related injuries. Backache is one of the biggest causes of time off work, and means that offices lose out on several million days of work over the course of a year.
The 20 stone office chair is the latest type of ergonomic office chair to be featured in offices. 20 stone office chairs are built with the larger worker in mind and are designed to support the weight of someone up to 20 stone in weight. Most regular office chairs are not designed to hold this weight and as a result, many larger workers have had problems with them. The adjustments of an ordinary office chair can often not be made when someone heavy sits on it, and thus it can cause discomfort and back problems for the larger man. 20 stone chairs, however, are designed to fully support larger workers and allow them to freely adjust the seat and remain comfortable.
20 stone chairs have wider dimensions in order for the worker to be comfortable. Regular office chairs are restrictive in their width and this can even squash the workers legs. Surprisingly, this can cause serious medical issues, as it restricts the blood flow to the legs. This, in the long run, can cause a number of different medical problems. Office chairs need to be the right width to allow users to sit comfortably without restricting blood supply.
20 stone chairs also have much more give than normal chairs, meaning that when a worker sits down on it, the chair will ease itself downwards so that the user does not sit so abruptly. These small factors may seem merely for show, but it is a combination of a number of small factors which help to dramatically improve the user’s sitting experience. On top of this, 20 stone chairs have a stronger seat surface so that the seat can cope with the extra weight being placed upon it. There have been unfortunate incidents where regular office chairs have just given way under the weight of the worker, and by having a stronger seat, this reduces the chances of that happening!
It might seem like a bit of a gimmick, but 20 stone chairs can help offices around the world save hundreds of sick days each. Back pain and other problems resulting from sitting with poor posture are one of the biggest causes of illness in offices around the world and if we can ensure that these problems do not occur, we can make offices much more productive. On top of this, by making workers more comfortable, it will further help to make workers more productive and spend less time fidgeting and trying to find the right position for them to sit.
