In the world of office chairs, there are a lot more features than just height and tilt. In fact, an expensive chair may have up to 5 mechanisms that make it comfortable for you!
The knobs under these chairs can tell us how flexible or rigid they will be in different positions which helps your backside stay supported while working all day long at their desks.
Even Office Chairs Under $50 come with at least two adjustments, but if we talk about expensive models then it goes to 5. More knobs under a chair mean a greater range of adjustability and enhanced comfort- in fact, our high-end Herman Miller loveseat has almost 20 buttons.
If you are confused about the knobs and levers that present under the seat of the office chair then keep reading.
In this article I will tell you why these feat
Seat height adjustment
The seat height of any office chair is important because it can help you maintain an ergonomic posture while seated. With the use of this adjustment feature, your feet rest on the floor at the surface at 90 degrees when in a normal position with knees bent at ninety degree angles for proper spinal alignment and comfortability throughout the day’s workstation sessions.
Without this feature, you’ll end up facing sore knees after long hours at work due to poor positioning.
There is a direct relation between seat height and an ergonomic sitting posture. One that has a height adjustment feature, will provide proper sitting posture. Almost in every office chair you will find this feature as well.
How to lower and raise a chair?
First of all, find the lever which is usually found under the seat and at the right site. In order to raise it, pull the lever upward and let the chair rise. remember if you pull it while sitting on a chair then it won’t raise, so when you raise your chair, just stand up and pull the lever.
To lower your chair, do the same thing, pull the lever while sitting on it.
Tilt Tension Adjustment
Tilting is basically a feature that allows you to rock back and forth, all while reclining on one’s seat at work or home.
Adjusting the tilt now is easy.
You can find the tilt knob under your chair.
Once you find it, rotate in a clockwise direction to tighten it. Now, it’s up to your body weight and height how much tighter it should be.
On the contrary, you have to rotate the circle knob in an anticlockwise direction to lose it.
It is very important to have a chair that contains a tilt function. If you are someone who is sitting on a chair for about 8 hours then you should take advantage of this feature.
The tilt mechanism encourages you to recline back along with your seat and backrest as well so you don’t feel any back pain throughout the day.
Seat Depth Adjustment
Seat depth is another important feature. If you feel that the inner side of your knees is touching the edge of the chair, chances are it will cut off the blood circulation throughout your legs.
But the office chair which you have has the seat depth feature, you can adjust the seat according to your height and by doing so you can be able to sit ergonomically.
Though different chairs come up with different kinds of seat depth adjustments, the most common mechanism is to lift the knob up and move the seat inward or outwardly.
Conclusion
Every office chair comes with a different set of features, but they all have one thing in common: to provide ultimate comfort to the user.
However, the more expensive chair will be, the more features you will find in it and the more adjustable it will be the more knobs it will have to adjust those features like height adjustments, seat depth, tilt tension.
