TESTIMONIALS

"I would like to thank ErgoStoreOnline for the excellent follow-through on the many chairs purchased by our company. First, we were given a detailed review of available styles and options. This was followed by demo chairs to see and feel. At this point we did a thorough review of quality versus price. For the money, these are the best chairs on the market. We purchased, they delivered - on time! Each employee received training on the use of the chairs. This last step is not offered by anyone else that I have worked with. Our future purchases of ergonomic products and chairs will certainly get first review by ErgoStoreOnline."

How to Choose an Ergonomic Chair

Finding the right ergonomic chair depends a lot on what kind of work you do. No matter what the task, an ergonomic chair will pay for itself in productivity.

Let's take a look at some ergonomic chair categories.

Executive Office Chairs

Executive seating, also called managers' chairs, are often preferred with a higher back and leather or stitched leather upholstery. The executive chair usually comes with an adjustable headrest or neck rest. Managers' chairs frequently have a knee tilt mechanism perfect for multitasking, where one can go from computer work to phone conferences with ease. Executive chairs usually come with upholstered back rests and upholstered arms. Neutral Posture™ has a variety of executive/managerial chairs to choose from.

Intensive Use Chairs

Intensive use seating, also known as 24/7 seating, is for dispatch room security monitoring areas, control rooms, and 911 emergency dispatch. Intensive use chairs are very durable and especially need to be ergonomic in design, as workers are typically sitting for many hours. Ergonomic comfort is very important to help keep personnel alert. Neutral Posture Big and Tall™ chairs and the 7000 series and 9000 series ergonomic chairs are perfect for these situations. The Neutral Posture Big and Tall™ has been the choice for security guards as the size of this chair allows for equipment worn on the belt not to become hooked on the arms of the chair.

Lab Chairs/Medical Chairs

If you are in a lab, you may need an ergonomic lab stool on a tall cylinder with or without arms. When you are working on a taller stool you will need to consider a foot rest to give you proper support for you feet, including the ankle and knee. Ergostoreonline has a large variety of Neutral Posture™ lab chairs. With Neutral posture we can build to your specification.

Medical and dental chairs also benefit from incorporated ergonomics. Cleanroom Chairs and ESD chairs are also available. These chairs come with height adjustable options as well as seat pan and back option, plus inflatable lumbar support and footrest options.

Task Seating

Task chairs typically have a lower back design for greater movement within a computer workstation. Task chairs may be ordered with or without arms. Neutral Posture™ has a variety of ergonomic arm styles to choose from, including height-adjustable, pivoting arm rests, oversized and linear tracking arms.

Industrial Seating

On the manufacturing floor, durability with ergonomics is the goal. Caster selection for your ergonomic chair is especially important. You will want a hard floor caster designed for concert floors. Fabric selection is important as cleaning may be an issue. Tilt options on the chair mechanisms as well as cylinder height must be considered depending on the job. We recommend the Neutral Posture 5000™ series, an ergonomic chair model which has have stood the test of time extreme durability and long-lasting use on the manufacturing floor.
