Chairs are one of the most commonly used furniture in our daily lives. Whether it is work, dining, or leisure, chairs play a vital role. An unsuitable chair will not only make you sit uncomfortably, but for a long time, it may also affect your spinal health, causing back pain, neck pain and other problems. So, how to choose an ideal chair according to your needs? We need to combine the comfort, durability and design of the chair to choose a chair that meets your needs.
Clarify the use scenario of the chair
Different use scenarios determine the functions and characteristics required by the chair. First of all, we need to clarify in which scenarios the chair will be used.
Home use: If you are choosing a chair for your dining room, study or living room at home, you need to consider the comfort, appearance and durability of the chair. Dining chairs need to be sturdy and easy to clean, desk chairs should focus on ergonomic design to ensure that you will not be tired after sitting for a long time, and leisure chairs should emphasize comfort and beauty.
Office use: The choice of office chairs is particularly important, especially in Europe, where many offices promote a healthy working environment. Ergonomic chairs can effectively support the back and spine and avoid health problems caused by long-term sitting. When choosing, pay attention to the chair's height adjustment, back support, armrest design and other functions.
Outdoor use: If you need to choose a chair for a balcony, garden or terrace, the material and weather resistance are very important. Outdoor chairs need to withstand weather changes such as sunlight, rain and wind, so materials such as waterproof wood, metal or plastic would be a good choice.
Use in public places: In addition to open public places such as parks, there are also more independent public places such as restaurants, cafes, cat cafes, hotel rooms, etc. In addition to considering the comfort of the chair, you must also consider the durability and matching of the chair. The most important thing is to make your customers feel comfortable in your business place and be willing to go to restaurants, cafes, etc. again.
Consider comfort and ergonomics
Comfort is one of the core elements of choosing a chair, especially in scenarios where the chair is used for a long time, ergonomic design is crucial.
Definition and importance of ergonomics: Ergonomic chairs are designed to reduce the burden on the human body through scientific design, improve sitting posture, and prevent discomfort caused by sitting for a long time. An ergonomically designed chair can better disperse weight and reduce pressure on the back and spine. EGGREE's chair design has always been ergonomic to reduce the burden on the human body.
Design of seat and backrest: The hardness of the seat and the tilt angle of the back directly affect the sitting feeling. For office chairs, it is best to choose adjustable seat and back angles, while for home chairs, you can choose softer or harder seat cushions according to personal preference.
Chair height, armrests, back angle: Make sure the height of the chair is suitable for your desktop to avoid bowing or bending for a long time. The design of the armrests is also very important. Ideal armrests can relieve shoulder pressure and avoid shoulder tension caused by long-term sitting. But chairs without armrests can also be very convenient and do not take up much space. They are very suitable for families such as living rooms and kitchens, and are also suitable for public places such as restaurants, cafes and milk tea shops.
Material and durability
The material of the chair determines its comfort, appearance and durability. Choosing the right material is very critical.
Wood: Wooden chairs usually have a warm and natural appearance, suitable for traditional style homes or office spaces. High-quality wood such as oak and walnut are very durable, and the appearance of wood will become more unique over time.
Metal and Plastic: In modern design, metal and plastic chairs are common in minimalist or industrial-style homes and offices. Metal chairs are strong and durable, suitable for public places; plastic chairs are light and easy to clean, suitable for young families or students.
Fabric and Leather: Fabric chairs are breathable, suitable for long-term sitting, and are available in a variety of colors and textures. Leather chairs have a higher sense of luxury and are suitable for business meetings or important places in the home.
Durability and Cleaning and Maintenance: Chairs made of different materials require different maintenance methods. Leather chairs need regular maintenance to prevent cracking, while fabric chairs need to be cleaned and anti-fouling. Metal and plastic chairs are more durable and easy to clean.
Design Style and Color Matching
The design style of the chair should be coordinated with the overall home or office style.
Modern and Simple: If you like simple and elegant designs, modern style chairs will be a good choice. Simple lines and single colors make the chairs look stylish and functional.
Classic Retro: Retro-style chairs are usually made of natural materials such as wood and leather, suitable for traditional or country-style home environments.
Nordic style: Nordic style chairs are simple, natural and functional, often using light wood and soft tones, which meet the needs of modern homes and offices.
Color matching suggestions: The color of the chair can be coordinated with the color of the surrounding environment. For a warm home environment, you can choose a chair with warm tones; in modern offices, black, white or gray chairs are more common.
Consider budget and cost performance
Depending on the budget, choose the right type and brand of chair, and most importantly, consider its after-sales service. When purchasing, understand the return and exchange policy and product warranty service, understand the evaluation of the product/brand, etc. A good after-sales service will make your purchase more reassuring.
High-end design: If you are willing to pay a higher price for design and quality, you can choose some high-end chairs from well-known brands, which usually have better ergonomic design and more durable materials.
Affordable: There are also many cost-effective chairs on the market, which provide comfort and functionality, while being more affordable. When choosing, you can pay attention to the product's usage evaluation and after-sales service. EGGREE chairs are the representatives of affordability.

Whether it is a chair for home or office use or used in a commercial public place, a suitable chair can make the lives of you, your family, friends, and customers healthier and more comfortable.
