With office chairs starting at just £30 the Officeprofiles seating department is packed full of every kind of seating requirement you are likely to need in the office.

Your office chair is probably the most important part piece of office furniture in your office - Don't believe us? try sitting on an ill fitting office chair for the rest of your working carrier (this could be 40 years!!) then see what you have done to your back through improper support, poor posture etc.

Spending a little time  researching the right factors that make up office chairs and how they could benifit you is well worth it and could save you a lots of trouble in the long term.

Before you tart looking at the huge range of office chairs out there in the market you need to ask yourself a few question about your day to day usage of your office chair.

Is your chair to be used in an office?

If the answer is 'yes' then will the chair be used for the full 8 hours a day, five days a week? - If its a full time use office chair you are looking for then you should spend as much as you can afford to spend on your office chair, the lower end office chairs that are on offer for less than 350 are aimed at home use, perhaps at a computer desk or maybe at a home office desk that only used for a couple of hours a day. These chairs are also perfectly fine for office use when the user is not sat at their desk all day long - perhaps they might be backwards and forwards to the warehouse or have to regularly visit other peoples desks etc - either way the lower end spec office chairs are not really ideal of your are intending on using them all day long.

Is the chair to be used in a school?

If yes we offer both junior and senior school regulation compliant stacking chairs in a a variety of colours and sizes. If your office chair is to used used in the public sector then all of our task operators chairs (excluding the leather chairs) are compliant and are available in several styles and colour options.

If the chair is intended for a visitors are or meeting room then its worth noting that we have specific sections of our website that offers great visitors chairs and conference room chairs.

If its extra spinal support your are looking for then our selection of ergonomic chairs come in a large range of styles and colours and most are adjustable in many ways to suit any problem areas you might have or give you that extra support where you might need it the most.

Look out for arms that are available as extras on most of our office chairs - these can be found at the bottom of each product display in the related products section - adjustable chair arms are also available on some ranges.

We also offer many office chairs for the larger office worker giving extra width and weight support to make sure that again your chair is as comfy as it can be for your intended application - our team are always on hand to offer advice or ideas in this area if needed.

For raised workstation areas or shop counter applications then it may well be worth considering a draughtsman's chair which gives extra height and also a foot rail rest for comfort.

Some common terms when describing office chairs;

Asynchro chair - this style of office chair allows the seat and back support of the chair to move up and down and the angle of the back support can be either fixed in the required position of float around giving a push forward sensation whist in use.

Fixed back office chairs - The base seat area will move up and down on these chairs but the back remains fixed.

Lumbar inflating office chairs - for the ultimate in bespoke chairs these allow your to inflate the back of your chair to mould to the contour of your back meaning you get the support exactly where YOU need it.

Knee tilting office chairs - this is a lever underneath the chair that allows you to adjust the angle of the base you are sitting on and either lock that angle or have it free floating to constantly send your posture forward (this is particularly useful for those doing a lot of typing and computer work).
