What exactly is a task chair?
Commonly used in conjunction with office desks, task chairs have this in common: they feature multiple adjustments so they can be used by many different users or for different functions.
Task chairs aren't just about comfort. They're also about your staff's health, well-being and productivity. If they're not getting effective support, employees and colleagues who spend many hours a day at their desks may end up suffering from painful and stressful backaches.
Depending on the chore at hand, you can choose chairs without arms so they slip easily under desks or go for chairs with armrests for increased wrist and hand support. That last point is an extremely important one for people who use a mouse from dawn till dusk
"Ergonomics" isn't just a word...
All the task chair models you'll find in our lineup have incorporated ergonomic features in one form or another, and not only to maximize comfort for your colleagues and employees, but to reduce fatigue on a daily basis and help avoid damage to key regions of the body in the long-run.
The truly well-designed office chairs we carry all feature some kind of built-in lumbar support for the lower back. Chairs with tall seat backs and built-in or separate headrests work to support the shoulders and neck.
The seats and backs come either in upholstery, easy-to-clean vinyl or luxurious leather, all of which are stain-resistant. Some boast "breathable" mesh chair backs that offer greater comfort levels your people will greatly appreciate, especially if the office environment gets warm at times.
Adjustability makes for flexibility
Task chairs generally come with a host of adjustable features that people can operate by way of levers, to accommodate specific needs. Adjustable arm rests, pneumatic seat height adjustment and precision controls for seat pitch and tilt, are some of the things you'll be looking for in that department. Adjustable tilt tension and tilt lock by way of a side handle is also a nice feature. Stability and maneuverability are ensured by five-star wheel bases, and enable employees to travel in style across the floor or just swivel around to work at another desk.
With chairs that twist, swivel and tilt to facilitate natural movements, your staff will work efficiently and appreciate that you've equipped them with high-quality back-saving office seating.
It's noteworthy that those who do have back problems or who work long hours at their desk can count on devices such as back supports and foot rests to offer relief from work-related back and leg tension.
A novel seating concept
One neat concept that's making headway in the work environment is the active seating concept. There are different approaches to that concept. One is the extended-height chair that features a flexible ring under the base, allowing the user to adjust the angle of sit and providing movement for an active desk experience. Another is the surprising world of ball chairs that keep you alert throughout your workday. Yet another avenue is that of standing desks that bring flexibility and mobility to the workplace.
