Armchair

To choose the perfect chair is not so simple. The chair, like other upholstered furniture, has a huge number of characteristics that you can consider or not when choosing:

• Height of armchair and back;


• Depth of sitting;


• The ratio of the stiffness of the back and seat of the chair;


• Uniformity of support over the entire contact area of ​​your body and chair;


• Angles of inclination of the back and seat;


• Spring suspension type;


• Shrinkage when sitting;


• Form and dimensions;


• Execution style;


• Material and color of the upholstery.

Buying an armchair, everyone is guided by own desires and possibilities: someone likes soft deep armchairs, someone hard chairs, made in the traditional style.

But there are a number of recommendations that would bea good idea to remember before you go for the desired purchase. When choosing a chair, be sure to pay attention to the filler of the chair and the spring mechanism, because it depends on it how long to retain the springy effect. Sadly, if in a short time you will notice that at the recent acquisition there were signs of "begging".



In addition, be sure to show interest inthe elasticity of the chair. The best quality is distinguished by those chairs, which during the lowering on them at first create a feeling of softness and comfort, and with increasing load on the seat they become more elastic. This property is achieved with the help of a high-quality polyurethane foam: it has a layer of foam of lower density on top, and is more elastic at the bottom.

It should be noted that the physiological side is the best, it is considered an armchair, which has a more elastic back and a softer seat.

Wheels, easily rolling on both the smooth floor and the fleecy surface - a mandatory requirement for the working chairs of employees and managers.

Need for armrests for armchairs forcomputer tables is determined by how much the user has to work with the computer's keyboard (requires the support of elbows) and how often he has to leave the workplace (it is necessary to rely on standing and lowering on the chair). To buy armchairs without armrests makes sense only when there is an extreme shortage of space in the room.

Leaders who often meet andmeeting in his office, it is necessary to have a "rocking chair" in the mechanism of the chair, and those who work a lot in a constant pose with a computer and papers - an ergonomic synchromechanism that perfectly adjusts the chair to any shape and any type of work.



Decentralization of swing: the rocking axis in the "rocking chair" mechanism must be moved forward from under the center of the chair (the farther the better), then when you rock in the chair your legs (knees) will not rise up and the swing process will look dignified and solid.

Armchairs and chairs for guests and visitors shouldbe with a low back, the minimum possible width, preferably on legs or on an elastic frame. Armchairs on a rotating support are applicable only to visitors already accustomed to office chairs (otherwise the visitor will continuously spin in front of you and interfere with the conversation).

Armchairs for employees should only be supportedshoulders and back (sleep in the workplace is a great temptation for middle and lower-level staff), but the head of the chair back can serve as a support for the head.

When choosing a soft ideal chair, eachis guided primarily by its external characteristics, but nevertheless, if you want to get quality furniture, then pay attention to many subtleties.
