At Steelcase they feel you should be focusing on your work and not on your chair.  This is why it’s so important to Steelcase that a chair be the center piece of your workspace.

At Steelcase they have put together the Ergonomic Check List. A good chair will…

• “Activate your body – As you recline, a chair’s seat and backrest should move as you do-opening up your hip angle and bringing you closer to a healthy standing position.”
• “Encourages you to move- Your body was made to move…A good chair will flex with you-helping you change postures while you sit.”
• “Reinforces your health posture- The backrest of the chair should fit the natural contour of your back and provide your spine the reinforcement it needs to maintain healthy alignment as you sit.”
• “Provides comfort where you need it most – Contoured foam and a flexible edge provide pressure free comfort for sit bones, glutes and thighs.”
• “Keeps you connected – The arms of your chair should stay parallel to the floor while you recline – keeping your arms straight on your desk and your eyes level with your screen.”
• “Fits you uniquely – Intuitive and easy to use back, seat and arm adjustments make a chair feel like it is made for you and your body.”
