the e-chair

"A correct chair can add as much as 40 productive minutes to the working day." - E.R. Tischauer, "Biomechanical Basis of Ergonomics"

you've got better things to worry about

In a perfect world, that chair you're sitting in would never cross your mind. You'd be free to focus on the really important stuff, like that looming deadline, that project meeting tomorrow, or that new lunch place everybody's talking about. And best of all, you wouldn't be distracted by the aches and pains you've picked up from sitting at your computer all day.

Multiply these problems by however many people work in your office, and you can practically see the dollar signs flying out the window. Every minute spent worried about comfort, every sick day due to skeleto-muscular complaints, every worker's comp claim adds to the strain on your bottom line.

a throne at every desk?

Since our world isn't perfect, you need a chair that is. The science of ergonomics tells us that well-designed equipment can relieve discomfort and fatigue, and prevent many common work-related health problems. If you sit at a computer desk at work, your armrests should be at the right height for you and your keyboard, and the right width for your shoulders. You should lean toward your screen at the proper angle. Your knees should bend just beyond the edge of the seat, with your feet flat on the floor. Most of all, the lumbar region of your back needs firm support. Prolonged periods of sitting exert pressure on your spine and back, and that can lead to long-term back trouble.

Now consider your chair. Chances are it was designed for some mythical "average person" who only exists on somebody's drawing board. Is the seat height right for you? Is the seat back at a comfortable angle? How about the seat angle? Do you feel like you're sliding out of your chair? And those armrests - do your elbows have to reach outward for them, or are your shoulders hunched because they're too close? You can adjust the e-chair to your personal specifications in all of these areas.

With the e-chair, our design team grants every chair wish you've ever made, and some that you haven't. The adjustable lumbar support reinforces your back where your tired muscles need it most. The waterfall seat design delicately cradles your body, conforming to your unique contours. You may not realize you need a sliding seat pan, to adjust seat depth, but your body does. And your shoulders and middle back will appreciate the e-chair's generously sized chair back. (Everybody pays attention to the lumbar, but the rest of your back needs love, too.)

relieve pressure on your spine - and your wallet

We understand that you're working under a budget, and you worry that ergonomic chairs are beyond your means. Ask Sun Microsystems how well their ergonomic investment paid off. In 1992, they spent a total of $1.5 million on workers' comp claims for repetitive motion injuries. After introducing ergonomic equipment and training, these expenditures shrunk to less than $100,000 in the first nine months of 2002, despite a huge growth in the number of employees.

The e-chair delivers as much health benefit as any chair in the field, at a fraction of the cost. In the leaner corporate environment of today, it isn't just a nice piece of furniture; it's also a winning investment in the well-being and productivity of you and your workforce.

You don't have to waste time or brainpower, and you don't have to think about your chair anymore, because e-chair already has. Contact us today about bringing the benefits of the e-chair's ergonomic design to your home or office. Your spine, neck, and back will thank you for it.
