What is a 24/7 Chair?

Twenty-four-hour chairs are heavy-duty chairs which are designed with ergonomics and back care at their heart - they're most often used in scenarios where someone is likely to be sitting down in an office chair for long stretches at a time, used by people to prevent poor back health or relieve those who suffer from back pain. 

The Benefits of a 24/7 Chair

Whenever your workers spend long hours on the job, a 24-hour chair becomes vital. All those sedentary hours can wreak havoc on the body, but the appeal of ergonomic 24/7 seating is that it combats potential damage before it occurs. Here are some ergonomic chair advantages that demonstrate the value of intensive-use chairs:

  • Reduction in employee physical fatigue
  • Enhanced mental sharpness among workers
  • Less distraction on the job
  • Chairs that meet higher testing standards for increased strength and reliability
  • A business investment that doesn’t need to be routinely replaced
  • Reduced absenteism through sick leave

So who needs a 24-hour office chair?

Perhaps we could all benefit from the ergonomic features that these chairs boast but in the main there are three groups of people for who extra-large operator chairs or 24-hour chairs would be most useful; those who work long hours, those who suffer from poor back health and those of us that are slightly larger than pipe cleaner! With modern technology and social media forcing us to spend much of our working day in a seated position, it's more important than ever for both employee and employer to put the emphasis on good back care. For employees, it's an investment in long-term health, because the implications of poor back care can be debilitating and long lasting. By ensuring you have a comfortable, ergonomic chair now, you could be looking after your employability and wellness well into the future. Employers, too, have a legal obligation to make reasonable adjustments for the safety and comfort of employees, and in many instances, sturdier and more ergonomic chairs play a huge part. Helping employees to practise good back-care is another way to protect against losses incurred through sickness and ill health in the future.
