How To Create A Comfortable Office Chair

If you have ever worked in an office before then you know just how important having a very comfortable office chair can be to your production at work. We all know that our bosses aren’t going to let us bring a couch or a recliner into the office so our only choice is to make the one chair that we have more comfortable.

If you are tired of sitting in a hard and non-conforming seat then you need to make the change and the best thing you can do is add a little bit of padding to your office chair. What most people do is they tend to place a small pillow or a blanket on the seat but the problem is the pillow or the blanket will become compact and it will normally start to smell after a while.

What you need to do is get a lumbar support cushion for your back and an extra seat cushion for your bottom. The reason why using both of these items will help is because your back will be supported which will greatly reduce the amount of pressure that is put on your bottom.

One other thing that will really help you out is to make the armrest on your office chair a little bit softer. One of the things you need to understand is making the armrests softer is going to be a little tricky and the reason is because you have to find a pad that is shaped like the armrest itself (snake pads). These can be found online but the problem is you will have to wait for them to show up at your home. Just remember that even though these might take a few days they will at least help you when they arrive.

When it comes to making your office chair more comfortable just remember that you can either work with what you have or you can buy yourself a new chair. If I were you I would just buy a new chair because when will you have the time to put a bunch of padding on your office chair and maintain it. One other reason why I would rather buy a new office chair is because your manager will most likely want you to be as productive as possible and if that means spending a $100 on a new chair then that is something they will most likely do.
