They accompany us for many years, usually have defects or wrinkles and we actually wanted to part with them long ago. No, we're not talking about our life partner. We're talking about office chairs, of course. Because they are a bit like the annual holiday on your favourite island. You know your way around, you know where you are, and at some point, it's time for something new. The search for an alternative to conventional models can then be exhausting, but it's worth it. 24-hour chairs, for example, have numerous advantages that can make your everyday life in the office, control centre, control room or security centre easier. In this article, you can find out exactly what 24-hour chairs are and why numerous authorities and companies rely on our models.
What are 24-hour chairs?
Sure - 24-hour chairs are office chairs. They are also known as control centre chairs, operator chairs or porter's chairs. However, the product category says nothing about the quality and properties of the individual models. After all, Trabbis and Ferraris also belong to the same product category - the car. In other words, there are considerable differences between a conventional office chair and a 24-hour chair that you should be aware of. Here are just a few examples:
- Comfort: 24-hour chairs were developed for people who have to focus for many hours and perform at their best. Optimum sitting comfort is correspondingly important. This is the only way to avoid (fatal) mistakes in positions of responsibility - such as in power stations or at airport towers - which are often caused by premature fatigue.
- Ergonomics: Anyone who has ever had to sit in a conventional office chair for any length of time will be familiar with back pain, tension or concentration problems. In the long term, this can lead to serious health problems and affect the quality of work. 24-hour chairs can therefore be customised to the individual needs of customers and thus prevent typical problems caused by prolonged sitting.
- Robustness: Professional processing of high-quality materials guarantees that our 24-hour chairs are robust, durable and stable - especially compared to typical office chairs, which show signs of wear after a short time.
But that's not all. 24-hour chairs have many other advantages. For example, their ergonomic properties make them ideal for anyone who has to work at night - for example in shift work. They are also recommended for use in control centres, where the team sits up to 30 percent longer than office workers! Thanks to a special micro armour cover, our 24-hour chairs are also protected from damage caused by sharp or hard objects. This is particularly important if the user of the chair is carrying a weapon or items of equipment.
Who uses 24-hour chairs?

- Fire and rescue services
- Police stations
- Correctional centres
- Airports
- Hotels
- Power stations
- Control rooms

Which 24-hour chair is recommended?
There are now numerous variants of the 24-hour chair. Which of these variants is right for you depends on various factors. Our recommendation: When choosing your new 24-hour chair, pay attention to the following features:
- Tested quality: The chair of your choice should fulfil the BS 5459 and GS standards in accordance with DIN 4573. This is the only way to ensure that the chair meets professional requirements and is also suitable for users with increased body weight, for example.
- Replaceable seat cushions: Even the best seat cushions wear out after a few years. You can therefore recognise high-quality 24-hour chairs by the fact that the seat cushions can be replaced quickly and easily. The upholstery should of course also be comfortable and cosy.
- Customised design: A professional 24-hour chair is more than just a particularly comfortable office chair. Our 24-hour chairs are produced specifically for control centres and every single part of the chair is perfectly tailored to the special needs of our discerning customers. So make sure you only buy "genuine" 24-hour chairs that really deserve to be called that.
- Free test: From theory to practice - at some point you should try out the model of your choice. This is the only way to find out whether the chair is suitable for you - or not. Therefore, only buy from suppliers who offer you this free test (ideally over several weeks) and who also provide you with an on-site service.
- Flexible sitting posture: Professional 24-hour chairs promote active and relaxed sitting in equal measure. Switching between the different sitting positions should also be as quick and easy as possible.
