It isn’t always easy to find a cheap ergonomic chair or low cost ergonomic office chair. Incorrect ergonomics can cause back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, headaches, and other medical issues. Whenever people shop for chairs and desks for the home or office, they’re not usually looking for something that is good for their bodies, but more about what looks good or is low cost, cheap or what’s on sale.

No matter what the task, an ergonomic chair or ergonomic office chair will pay for itself fast due to less pain and increased productivity. The terms computer ergonomics and office ergonomics are often used to mean the same thing; they are usually referring to body-adapted ergonomic chairs, office chairs, stools, desks, keyboards, mice, etc. Try out several chairs at furniture, office supply and back-care stores before you pick the best ergonomic chair for you.

There are some extra large ergonomic chairs that are great for security guards as the size of this chair allows for equipment to be worn on the belt and not to become hooked on the arms of the chair. Fabric selection is important with the ergonomic industrial chair as cleaning may be an issue. For ergonomic industrial chairs and seating the caster selection is particularly important for industrial or manufacturing areas; you’ll want a hard floor caster designed for concert floors.

Ergonomic intensive use chairs or seating, also known as 24/7 seating, is for dispatch room security monitoring areas, control rooms, and 911 emergency dispatch offices. Tilt options on the industrial chair mechanisms as well as cylinder height must be considered depending on the job to be handled. Ergonomic intensive use chairs are very durable and especially need to be ergonomic in design, because workers are typically sitting for a lot of hours.

Adequate lumbar support in an ergonomic chair is the most crucial element of a backrest. Look for chairs that provide mid-back and upper-back support as well. The seat should always extend at least one inch from either side of the hips for optimum comfort because insufficient hip room can make you sit too far forward and not get enough thigh support.

Look for an ergonomic chair on wheels that swivels to avoid excess stretching and twisting of your spine and a five-point base won’t tip over when you recline. The tilt mechanism maintains support as you move and recline; it’s best to have your back slightly reclined while seated at your desk.

The seat pan is the component of the chair that supports the majority of the user’s weight. Three or four fingers should fit between the seat pan’s front edge and the back of the knees. Tilt adjustments are preferred to allow for a forward working or reclined posture.

Other ergonomic products you can buy include: document holders, ergonomic workstations, telephone mounts, ergonomic keyboards and mouse devices, footrests and speaker stands. It’s important to remember that you probably spend a lot of hours on your computer and it’s really a long term investment in your health. Hopefully these ergonomic facts and tips about features and types of ergonomic chairs will help you when shopping for or buying an ergonomic chair online or at your local office supply store or office furniture store.

Analyzing self-reported data from more than 222,000 people aged 45 and older, Australian researchers found that mortality risks spike after 11 hours of total daily sitting but are still 15 percent higher for those sitting between 8 and 11 hours compared to those sitting fewer than 4 hours per day.

Dr. David Friedman, chief of heart failure services at North Shore Plainview Hospital in Plainview, N.Y., said those who sit longer “tend to be sicker, have obesity issues and cardiovascular problems. Perhaps they’re less ambulatory in the first place.”

Here are a few of the strategies that we use most at Citron when decommissioning:

Resale

In order to keep the ever increasing landfills as empty as possible, we love to repurpose your furniture. Depending on our available space, current inventory, and the quality and condition of your furniture, we sometimes will purchase the furniture from you to re-sell it. In other situations, we may offer to pay to have your futniture removed in exchange for the furniture. If we are unable to re-sell the items, we try to :

Donate

Citron Workspaces works on a regular basis with local non-profit organizations in our network that are in need of furniture for their offices. While many of these charities will not be able to purchase the furniture, sometimes they can absorb the cost of removing the items… saving you time, money, and the hassle of it all.

Recycling

Another option that we love is recycling; removing the furniture from the premisis and having it recycled for all salvageable materials. We can schedule our team to remove the pieces from your site to have them recycled, as we realize that this is nearly impossible to do on your own. Our experienced staff can assist you in all areas of this step. Did you know that most metal filing cabinets are 100% recyclable? So, when you are done with the file that has served you so well for years and years, you can know that it will not end up in a landfill.

Whether you choose to re-sell, donate, or recycle, let Citron workspaces help you! Call today for an estimate!

Say hello to beautiful, bright colors and patterns! Hot neon colors mixed with soft pastels will be all the rage this spring.

Read below for Pantone’s take on the spring 2012 color trends:

For spring 2012 designers are inspired by diverse influences, showcasing a range of
styles and lifestyles, from free and playful and light and breezy, to contemporary classics. Colors likewise reflect these differing moods, encapsulating vivid brights, soft muted tones and fun-loving pastels.

“Consumers look to spring for renewed energy, optimism and the promise of a brighter day,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. “They
have learned how color can help them alter a mood and provide the vitality and enthusiasm that enables them to experiment with new looks and color combinations.”

Provocative Tangerine Tango, an enticing juicy orange, is a vivacious and appealing refresher to enliven anyone’s outlook this spring. Providing a jolt of energy, Solar Power radiates warmth and cheer.

Fanciful Bellflower, a distinct ornamental purple, exudes uniqueness and creativity. Scintillating and sexy, Cabaret is a sensual and intense rosy-red — an excellent
choice for summer clothing and cosmetics.

Sodalite Blue, a classic maritime hue, brings order and calmness to mind. Like an
anchor to a ship, this dependable shade works with every color in the palette.
Cockatoo, a tactile blue-green, is sure to make your spirits soar. This unusual hue
adds a whimsical touch to the palette and will surely make a statement this spring.

Margarita, a piquant yellow-green, lifts spirits with its refreshing and stimulating glow. Reminiscent of a blossoming garden on an early spring morning, fragrant Sweet Lilac evokes the fresh scents of summer. This delicate pinkish lilac adds a touch of romance
to any wardrobe.

Natural versatile neutrals add practicality to this season’s brights. Driftwood, an
adaptable blend of beige and gray with a slightly weathered feel, and Starfish, a
perfect warm summer neutral, complement all colors featured in this season’s top 10.

For an ultra-bold vibrant look this spring, try mixing Bellflower with Tangerine Tango
and Cabaret. Combine Margarita with Sweet Lilac and Cockatoo for a subtle
alternative, or combine Margarita with Sweet Lilac and Driftwood for a more
practical variation. Solar Power is best juxtaposed with Sodalite Blue. For a safer
bet, add a natural neutral like Starfish to the mix.

For over 18 years, Pantone, the global authority on color, has surveyed the designers
of New York Fashion Week and beyond to bring you the season’s most important
color trends. This report previews the most prominent hues for spring 2012.
