Summary: Deciding on the right furniture for your office can make your time spent working more productive and can help you spend money where it counts.

The kind of work you do is likely pretty important to you but so should the way in which you carry out your daily activities. How you work is crucial, especially if you spend hours a day doing it.

Finding the office furniture that fits your needs the best can make a world of difference in how productive you are and how comfortable you feel at work. Settling on the first items you come across can save you some time but this is one area where researching can go a long way.

Built to Last

The average employee for a large corporation can expect to work around eight hours a day for five days each week. This amounts to around a third of the work week being spent working in an office. Someone might think that an average couch foam would work just fine as a chair cushion but you need to think about the negative consequences this can have on your back and posture.

Ergonomic chairs can be pricey but do not be afraid to spend a little extra on something you plan on using every day you show up to the office.

The Perfect Fit

Another area you will want to look into is the fit of the furniture. For example, the relationship between the height of your chair and the height of your desk is incredibly important. Some more traditional chairs and desks cannot be adjusted, meaning that an unbalanced relationship can lead to neck or back strain. A memory foam cushion from The Foam Factory can add some additional height to your seat.
