Ergonomic Chair Setup Guide
Optimize your desk chair for comfort and posture.
Your Details
Recommended Chair Settings
Seat Height:
45.5 cm
Adjust so your feet are flat on the floor and knees are at about a 90-degree angle. Use a footrest if needed.
Seat Depth:
47.3 cm
Ensure 2-4 fingers can fit between the edge of the seat and the back of your knees. This prevents pressure on your thighs.
Backrest Height:
70.0 - 87.5 cm
The backrest should support the natural curve of your spine, especially your lower back (lumbar region). For full support, it should reach your shoulder blades or higher.
Armrest Height:
35.0 cm
Adjust armrests so your arms are at about a 90-degree angle, with shoulders relaxed. This reduces strain on your neck and shoulders.
Why Ergonomics Matters
Proper ergonomic setup of your workspace, especially your chair, is vital for long-term health and productivity. A poorly adjusted chair can lead to back pain, neck strain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and reduced circulation.
By ensuring your chair fits your body correctly, you can maintain a neutral posture, reduce physical stress, and improve your overall comfort and well-being during long hours of sitting. This tool provides general guidelines; individual preferences and specific chair features may require further fine-tuning.
