After a long holiday...

Whew! Am I glad the holiday is over so I can get some rest. I could hardly wait to get back to my office chair and get comfortable in its ergonomic design. What?! Your office chair isn't comfortable? It should be. If a person is comfortable, they will be more productive. Two new studies by Alan Hedge, Ph.D., CPE and Cornell University found that a comfortable working environment can do more than make workers happy: it can improve productivity as well.

A normal chair can give comfort for some period but an ergonomic chair will give comfort the entire time it is occupied. Using these chairs releases pressure from back stretches and pains. Ergonomic chairs distributes the whole body weight equally. An ergonomic chair will have its seat pan in a perfect position with suitable dimensions. An ergonomic chair is provided with pneumatical height adjustment. Not all chairs have enough back support for lower back and upper back with good lumbar support. An ergonomic chair satisfies all kinds of body posture with good back support in addition to lumbar support. Locking the chair backrest in one position generally isn't recommended. Before choosing a chair be sure that its armrests are broad, cushioned and comfortable.

Now I am going to lean back, relax, and enjoy.
