Chair Setup

Adjusting your chair for optimum comfort can make a huge difference to how you feel at work. Here are some key tips on how to go about it.

Chair setup is relatively simple to do, remember:

  • It is best if you are able to carry out your work sitting comfortably.
  • Remember good posture can help avoid problems.
  • Make sure that the arms of chair don't stop you getting close enough to use the equipment comfortably. Adjust the arms up or down as needed.
  • Move any obstructions from under the desk.

Adjustments:

  1. Make sure that the small of the back is supported by the chair’s backrest. You should have a straight back, supported by the chair, with relaxed shoulders.
  2. Set the height of the chair (and as necessary the screen) to have forearms horizontal and eyes at roughly the same height as the top of your screen. Adjust the chair height to get the user’s arms in the right position, and then adjust the screen height, if necessary.
  3. Adjust the seat until your feet are flat on the floor, without too much pressure from the seat on the backs of the legs? If not, a footrest may be needed.
