Chairs

Adjust the seat height so your feet rest flat on the floor, with your knees positioned at roughly the same height as your hips. Your thighs should feel supported without pressure behind the knees. If your feet do not comfortably reach the floor, consider using a footrest. A correctly set seat height helps create a stable base and supports better posture throughout your entire working day.

Position the lumbar support so it fits comfortably into the natural curve of your lower back. It should provide gentle, consistent support without forcing your spine too far forward. If your chair allows height or depth adjustment, make small changes until it feels supportive rather than restrictive. Good lumbar positioning can reduce slouching and help maintain a more comfortable seated posture throughout longer work periods.

Adjust the armrests so your shoulders remain relaxed and your elbows sit close to your body at around a right angle. The armrests should support your forearms without lifting your shoulders or forcing your wrists upward. If they interfere with your desk, lower or move them aside. Proper armrest positioning can reduce tension through the neck, shoulders and upper back during longer periods of desk-based work.

Use the recline function to encourage movement rather than locking the backrest in one fixed position all day. A slight recline can reduce pressure on the lower back and allow your body to shift naturally as you work. Adjust the recline tension so the chair supports you without feeling too loose or rigid. Regularly changing position helps create a more dynamic and comfortable seated working experience.
