Choosing the Best Chair for Posture

Articles

Poor posture can lead to several health issues, and your chair posture could be a significant factor in worsening these issues. Headaches, musculoskeletal pain, heartburn, constipation, poor circulation and more are all linked to bad posture. Balance issues can be caused by posture, too, something the elderly should be wary of.

Choosing the best chair for posture can help you improve your situation with little effort. To help you improve your posture and make the right choice, here are some tips on what type of chair you should consider.

The Best Chair for Good Posture

Our range of riser recliner chairs can aid with posture issues, while providing a range of other benefits. Able to help relieve back pain and arthritis pain while supporting users getting in and out of them, these chairs provide fantastic comfort and independence at home, all while targeting poor posture.

Why are Riser Recliners Good for Chair Posture?

Riser recliner chairs work in several ways to target better posture, notably:

The adjustable positioning not only allows you to sit comfortably, but also allows you to maintain a neutral spinal alignment. This helps reduce slouching and supports the natural curvature of the spine.

• The built-in lumbar support helps maintain the lower back’s natural curve. This reduces strain and prevents rounding of the lower spine.
• With the right positioning, you can ensure your hips and knees are at a right angle or just higher, good for both posture and comfort.
• The design and recline function work to distribute weight evenly. This reduces pressure on the joints and prevents you from leaning to one side, working to maintain good posture and keep you comfortable.
• Our chairs are also made-to-measure, meaning they are tailor-made to fit you. With a chair designed around your measurements, you’ll be able to enjoy proper ergonomic alignment, promoting better posture, alongside better comfort.

Chair Posture Tips to Consider

While our chairs can help promote posture and help you find that perfect position, there are several ways you can sit to improve your posture. Some simple things you can do are:

• Sitting back with your back against the backrest will let the chair’s lumbar support do its job and prevent slouching.
• Try to keep your knees level with or just below your hips. This will reduce pressure on the lower back and keep your spine aligned.
• Avoid leaning or hunching forward; keeping your ears aligned with your shoulders prevents poor posture.
• Change your position regularly. This is easy with our recliner chairs’ functionality, as sitting still for too long isn’t ideal for maintaining posture.
• Use our comfortable armrests to keep your shoulders relaxed, resting them comfortably at your sides or on the armrests.

These simple tips will maintain proper posture, working in tandem with the riser recliner chair to keep your spine aligned and back supported.
