HOW DO I CHOOSE THE RIGHT OFFICE CHAIR?


Tips and instructions by Tomas N., 26.8.2020

Office chairs are almost literally the backbone of every student and employee on working days. The chair in which we work, or study has a significant impact on how our studies or work go and the condition of our back and neck in the evening. We humans are very individual in our preferences and dimensions. Our proportions, such as the length of our legs and the length of our back, have a significant influence on where and how we sit comfortably. Some of us swear by the power of gymnastics balls for all-day sitting, some like to stand a lot during workdays, and others like a saddle chair. As a result, it's impossible to say exactly which office chair is right for you; but in this article, we'll try to help you choose the best possible option.

Use of an office chair

When buying an office chair, it's a good idea to think about what you need from it. Does it need to support your lower back well? Or does it need to activate? For example, many people swear by the power of rocking chairs as their office chairs because the swinging movement activates different muscles in the body, and it’s nice to swing during working day. We have a wide range of Eim rocking chairs and myKolme office chair.

In our selection you will find myKolme's high-quality office chairs, chairs and bar stools that are made in Muurame. The design and seating position of myKolme chairs is similar to a saddle chair, and many chairs do not have a backrest. The chairs are also designed and manufactured for public spaces and can be found in many schools and offices. This required the chair to have very high-quality components and durable construction.

MyKolme chairs are available with birch plywood surface and upholstered. The birch plywood seat is convenient for slightly shorter sittings, while upholstered chairs are naturally more comfortable for longer periods. There are also differences in the padding and upholstery. In the so-called plus models, the upholstery itself is divided into three parts. This allows for better ventilation when sitting in the chair and makes sitting less sweaty. If you’d also like to have support for your back and often find yourself in a potato sack position on the chair, then myKolme's ILOA Smile chair could be the perfect solution for you. Its small, supportive backrest complements an otherwise cushioned and adjustable office chair. With a standard myKolme chair, you need to focus on keeping your back straight, which activates the deep muscles of the back.

Combine different office chairs

For me, the best solution has been a combination of several chairs. I mainly sit on myKolme ILOA+ office chair. Every day I try to also work while standing. Naturally, an electric desk, a standing mat from Humantool and felt slippers from Lahtinen help with this. And let's not forget swinging, which is where I created this text. Swinging is where creativity is unleashed.

Take a look at our range of chairs below and order the chair that is the most suitable for you.
