Our advice Buying Guide
Before ergonomic living room chairs, we've only been using chairs that cause shoulder pain, headaches, neck pain, back pain, and all other medical issues. If you've been struggling with any of the aforementioned problems, then there's a good chance that your spinal ligaments and discs have been stretched from slouching down and sitting on uncomfortable chairs.
There are so many options available online. If you take a peek at your choices now, you'll see how one can get overwhelmed with making the right decision. To ensure you spend your money on the right product, check out our handy buying guide below.
What are the benefits of ergonomic chairs?
An ergonomic living room chair maximizes body support while ensuring that you maintain a good back posture. As a result, the aggravation to your body, most especially your spine, decreases. Ultimately, you'll be able to reduce any pain you experience in the body using only an ergonomic living room chair.
What's the most important feature to look for in ergonomic chairs?
The best ergonomic living room chair for you is one that offers lumbar support. Take note that your chair should come with depth and vertical adjustment for lumbar support as this is important if you have lower back issues. It will also deem useful when lots of people will be using the chair.
Basic lumbar support can be adjusted vertically as the chair is raised and lowered. If the chair fits you well plus it adjusts vertically, then a fixed depth lumbar will be acceptable. However, a chair that doesn't have an independent height-adjustable support or adjustable back height will not fit several people.
What factors to consider when shopping for ergonomic living room chairs?
- Your Body Type. Select the ergonomic living room chair that's comfortable for your type of body. Certain types of ergonomic chairs will fit you better than others. A small person will definitely feel differently compared to a large one using just the same chair. The best way to find out which works for you is by testing out the product itself. This is where a good return policy comes in.
- Armrests. As for the armrests, the height must be adjustable. At the lowest point, both armrests should be below your thigh height to ensure they won't interfere with the movement of your elbows when they are not needed. Alternatively, swing back arms would allow a user to keep the arms when they are not needed.
- Headrest. A quality ergonomic living room chair comes complete with a headrest. It provides support for the head and reduces the weight the neck is required to support. For people with neck issues, they are strongly advised to purchase an ergonomic living room chair with a good headrest.
- Style. When someone enters your house, you most likely greet them inside your living room. Since you will be buying an ergonomic chair to be placed in this particular part of your house, you would want a chair that will match or complement the room's décor apart from being functional. After all, first impressions last.
We hope our buying guide was informative enough to help you search for the best ergonomic living room chair. Start going through your incredible options today!
