Seating

5 Easy Tips to Improve Your Current Chair

1.) Seat Height Too Low (knees above your waist) - Consider using a soft, evenly-filled cushion to sit on

2.) Seat Height Too High (knees below your waist) - Consider using a sturdy and flat foot rest

3.) Seat Pan is Too High (too much pressure on the back of your knee) - Consider placing a pillow or cushion between you and your back rest

4.) Lack of Lumbar Support - Consider placing a rolled up towel or lumbar roll to support the natural curve of your lower back

5.) Armrests too Hard (too much pressure on your elbows/forearms) - Consider wrapping your armrests with a towel

What to Consider:

1.) Lumbar Support

2.) Armrests

3.) Seat Depth Adjustment

4.) Forward Tilt

5.) Seat Recline
