Office workers spend 8 hours a day in the office, almost one-third of their time sitting on office chairs, including the rest of their lives. Buying a comfortable office chair can not only improve employee work efficiency, but also reduce fatigue and stress at work. So what can make office chairs comfortable?
The comfort of office chair cushions is also closely related to their cushion, and the cushion lining is the key part that determines comfort. At present, in the office furniture market, there are three types of sponges for filling office chair cushions: ordinary sponge (which is our common yellow sponge), recycled cotton, and set cotton.
These three types of sponges have different properties and feelings, so their prices are also different. If we evaluate their quality from three aspects: comfort, durability, and environmental friendliness, then the standardized sponge must be on a regular sponge. Below, I will take you to learn about the specific material descriptions of these three types of sponges.
In medicine, people are usually advised not to sleep on beds that are too soft. Why? Isn't it more comfortable when it's soft? A soft bed can provide temporary comfort, but it is not conducive to relieving fatigue and can lead to a feeling of increasing fatigue as one sleeps. I believe many people have experienced this before. This is because the body is too soft to find a reliable focus, so the lack of effective gravity evacuation can lead to fatigue. This not only affects the spine and lumbar intervertebral discs, but also increases the risk of developing diseases such as lumbar disc herniation for those who lie in a soft bed for years.
The cushion of the office chair is the same as the cushion of the bed. The cushion is too soft, and sitting for a long time will make you feel tired. The area of the buttocks reduces the pressure transmitted to the upper body. On the contrary, they are all concentrated in the waist area, which can involuntarily lead to a habit of bending down, and lumbar disc herniation is induced in this situation. Then some people will think that since that's the case, sitting on a hard stool would be fine. A hard stool is suitable for sitting for a short period of time. If you have to sit in the office for a whole day, it's not possible because a hard board is not conducive to blood circulation in the buttocks, and sitting for a long time can affect the body's curves. Women should pay special attention to this. From this, we can know that the healthiest office chair cushion should be the one with moderate softness and hardness.
Shaped cotton
Sponge is made of polyurethane and processed through multiple processes. The biggest characteristic of sponge is that its density can be adjusted according to needs. If used on seat cushions, office furniture manufacturers can choose according to the healthiest density to ensure comfortable seating without affecting health.
Recycled cotton
what
Is it recycled cotton? The meaning is recycling. Recycled cotton is a sponge made from the waste generated during the production process of sponge cotton. It can save a lot of production costs for enterprises. Of course, this type of recycled cotton also has the characteristics of sponge elasticity and resilience, but the industrial waste used for recycled cotton is strictly required, and the processing requirements are also very strict. They rarely meet the normal standards in the market, and their instability is too high.
Ordinary sponge
A regular sponge is the light yellow sponge that we often see. They can be found in various places. Seats, office sofas, tablecloths, mattresses, etc. It can be said that their usage threshold is the lowest, and they are very soft with average elasticity. If you use them as office chairs, the price must be very cheap. If you don't pursue health and comfort, you can choose.
Overall, shaped cotton is the most stable, healthy, and comfortable sponge, and it is also the best choice as a filling material for office chairs. Of course, its price will be much higher than other sponge filled office chairs
