It’s so important to invest in the right office chair. If you work on a computer, you’ll be spending a significant amount of time at your desk. That means it’s crucial you’re getting the right ergonomic support. Furthermore, with so many people now working from home, home office spaces are becoming a permanent fixture, so you’ll want to ensure they complement the style of your home. Here are some important considerations when determining which office chair is right for you.
Don’t compromise when it comes to choosing the right office chair
Comfort is key. You’ll be sitting in your office chair for around eight hours a day, so you’ll want to make sure it’s delivering the right support. However, comfort means different things for different people. For some, the best office chairs for back support may be ones that allows you to recline. For others, that may leave them feeling unsupported throughout their work day. Similarly, for some people, comfortable office chairs with arms are a must but others may not see them as such a priority.
Regardless of your preferences, it’s always worth investing in quality office chairs. While they may be a little more of an investment financially, they’ll provide longer lasting comfort and durability, which are key to keeping you feeling productive. The Weston Office Chair, featuring an ergonomic design, a moulded seat and adjustable height, is a great option for a comfortable office chair.
Make sure the chair suits you and your space
Just like our wide selection of office chairs at Fishpools, every person is built differently. This means there’s no one-size-fits-all design. That’s why it’s so important that office chairs, such as the Benington High Back Gas Lift Office Chair, have height-adjustable features.
Additionally, no matter which office chair you’re thinking of getting, make sure you think about how it works with the rest of your office area. It should suit your office desk well and complement your space. For example, if you have a compact office desk, there’s no point getting a more spaciously proportioned office chair, as it won’t work in your space. Your home office furniture should all work together seamlessly.
Choose stylish office chairs for home working
Office chairs aren’t all uniform. They come in all shapes, sizes and finishes. From plush fabric to premium leathers and even soft velvets, we stock a selection of different options at Fishpools. Each finish offers its own benefits. Leather options are more robust against scratches and general wear and tear, whereas fabric tends to offer a greater variety in colour ands style. Consider which finish is best suited for you before you shop.
If you’re lucky enough to have a dedicated home office room, you can also think about what design of chair would suit your interiors best. If you have a more traditional design, opt for classic office chairs or add a touch of industrial chic with the Lydon Swivel Desk Chair if you’re wanting to put a vintage spin on your workspace. Remember, there’s plenty of choice and character when it comes to finding the right stylish office chair for you.
Consider how often you’ll be using your office chair
Not everyone needs a durable, ergonomic office chair that will serve them from 9-5 every weekday. Some people have more casual working hours and might just need a space to catch up on work tasks or admin every now and again. If this is the case, you may want a more versatile office chair that can work in other areas of your home, including your dining room or dressing room.
Similarly, if you need to work between different areas in your home, it’s a good idea to get an office chair with castors. Five castors are best for maximum ease of movement. Of course, which office chair is right for you depends on your needs, preferences and space, but you’re sure to find something that works for you in our office chair range.
