A Guide by Posture People
A desk chair is more than just a seat—it’s the foundation of a healthy and productive work environment. At Posture People, we know that the right chair supports your posture, enhances comfort, and reduces the risk of back pain. Whether you’re working from home or in a corporate office, investing in an ergonomic desk chair can make all the difference.
Why Your Desk Chair Matters
Sitting for prolonged hours in the wrong desk chair can lead to poor posture, back pain, and decreased productivity. An ergonomically designed chair promotes spinal alignment, encourages movement, and provides the necessary support to keep you comfortable and focused throughout the workday.
According to HSE annual statistics, 33.7 million working days were lost last year due to self-reported injury or ill health. Approximately half of the ill health reports were from work-related stress, anxiety or depression. Now we are not trying to say that having an appropriate office chair is going to cure depression, however having a proper workstation set up is essential for comfort, productivity, and preventing strain or long-term health issues. It’s also required under health and safety law for all workers to have a workstation assessment.
At the centre of any workstation is the chair the worker is sitting at. By improving/ investing in a good ergonomic chair, you will improve the quality of your own/ your employees working condition in turn lessening time taken off and unproductiveness
