Ergonomic chairs for companies: models compared by type of day

To equip a company, choose the chair for the day it will endure and not for the position of the person who uses it. For 8 hours in an operational position, our recommendation is Grace: synchronous with 3 locking positions, mesh backrest and lumbar support, and it is the one that is best for equipping in volume. If the person needs to regulate the seat depth and lumbar, go up to Axis; If you sit all day and want the widest range of adjustment, Aquila. All Dunati chairs have a 3-year warranty.

What chair is best for each day?

How much does an ergonomic company chair cost?

These are the minimums for each category in the price list, rounded down. In a purchase for a company, the final value comes from the quote, and changes with the quantity, the base (nylon or aluminum), the headboard and the color.

Which chair is best for an 8-hour operational day?

The task chair is the one that adds the most units in a purchase, so it is where poor savings pay more dearly. The minimum for 8 hours is a synchronous mechanism (seat and backrest tilt together, in proportion) with locking positions, ventilating mesh backrest, lumbar support and adjustable arms.

Grace and Cooper meet that minimum. The practical difference is in the arms and lumbar support: Grace has 2D arms and fixed lumbar support, and supports a headboard; Cooper adjusts the arms only in height. Arkana, on the other hand, is for positions that are held momentarily or that rotate between people: do not put her to work 8 hours in a row with the same person.

What does an executive or managerial chair add?

Adjustment range. The depth-adjustable seat prevents the edge from pressing behind the knee. Adjustable lumbar support raises or lowers to the curve of each back, and the 3D or 4D arms move closer to the desk instead of colliding with it.

Axis is the entry to that level and the one we most recommend for full-time work. Amara adds 3D arms. Aquila has a self-weighting mechanism: it adapts to the weight of the person sitting without turning knobs, something that is appreciated in shared positions. For a board, the decision is usually between the Aquila fit and the presence of Midas, in leather or eco-leather, or Eros, in mesh with an aluminum base.

What chair is suitable for checkouts, meetings and training?

A cashier's station is used in shifts, with people of different heights. Therefore, if the budget is enough, Axis Cajero: its adjustable seat depth and adjustable lumbar make the same chair suitable for all shifts.

In a meeting room, no one adjusts the chair: a fixed chair, comfortable for one or two hours, that also functions as a visitor's chair will do. For training, casino and events, polypropylene is suitable, which is easy to clean.

What chair to choose for teleworking?

The same criteria as in the office. For full-time at home, Axis; Grace covers the same use with fixed lumbar support. If the person works from home two or three days a week, Arkana is enough.

What should you ask before buying chairs for a company?

1. Is the seat adjustable in depth?Without that, the chair that fits a person who is 1.60 m tall will not fit a person who is 1.85 m tall.
2. Is the lumbar support fixed or adjustable?For 8 hours, adjustable; fixed is acceptable in operational positions.
3. What wheels does it come with and for what floor?The polyurethane ones protect the floating floor and the ceramic; Hard wheels perform better on carpet. Ask about the floor of your office, not the chair.
4. What tapestry and what mesh does it have?For heavy use, order Martindale upholstery cycles and seat foam density.
5. Does it resist cleaning with disinfectants?In shared positions and checkouts it is a daily criterion.
6. What certification does it declare?The reference for office chairs is ANSI/BIFMA X5.1; Ask for the technical sheet of the model they are offering you, not a general statement from the brand.
7. Are there spare parts?Pistons, wheels and arms wear out before the structure. Dunati maintains spare parts for its chairs, such as armrests, mechanisms, star bases, wheels and pistons, and after the warranty, only the damaged part can be changed.
