Lumbar support: Healthy work without back pain

If you work hard, you'll hunch over or bend your back. Old proverbs that have a kernel of truth. Bad posture, back pain and tension have become typical symptoms of modern office work. One common cause is sitting statically for hours on end in conventional office chairs. That's why 24-hour chairs from StolComfort have, among other ergonomic features, a lumbar support that acts like a shock absorber and relieves the muscles. In this article we explain in more detail what the lumbar support is all about and why this chair component is so important for healthy working in the office.

What is lumbar support?

The lumbar support is also called lumbar support or lumbar support. It is integrated into the backrest of the office chair and imitates the curvature of the spine in the lumbar region - the so-called lordosis. This is unique to each person. A good lumbar support can therefore be individually adapted to the user's physique.

How can the lumbar support be adjusted?

24h chairs like the Svenstol® are known for their ergonomics. From the headrest to the armrests to the seat height, our professional office chairs can be optimally adjusted in just a few steps. The lumbar support is no exception. On the contrary: it can be adjusted pneumatically by air pressure or mechanically. The mechanical version is particularly impressive because of the quick and very flexible adjustment of the lumbar support. However, only one person can decide which lumbar support setting is ideal for you: You yourself. There are no standard solutions here! So feel free to test different settings or take advantage of the advice of our experts, who will be happy to help you set up your new 24 chair.

What are the effects of sitting without lumbar support?

A look at our spine shows: Humans are born runners and are not made for sitting for hours on end. Especially after sitting for a long time, our pelvis tilts backwards, the spine deforms and a healthy, S-shaped spine becomes the typical hunchback. This is a process that usually happens automatically and unconsciously. However, this does not make it any less harmful. Because an unhealthy sitting posture causes various problems such as:

  • Circulatory problems
  • Headaches
  • Concentration problems
  • Chronic back pain
  • Tension

Back pain in particular also affects younger people and is a major cause of restricted mobility in people under 45. The consequences for companies are high costs due to absenteeism or even early retirement. Moreover, those who experience pain or feel physically unwell during office work cannot perform as well as they used to and are increasingly unmotivated.

How exactly does lumbar support work?

As mentioned at the beginning, office chairs with lumbar support promote comfortable, healthy working. They increase well-being, reduce tension and are therefore ideal for shift work or use in control centres. The function of the lumbar support is very simple, but nevertheless effective. The shape of the lumbar support supports the natural curvature of the lumbar spine and thus relieves the muscles. The result is an orthopaedically healthy sitting posture that prevents a hunched back and ensures relaxed muscles with a good blood supply. In this way, an optimally adjusted ergonomic office chair with lumbar support offers real comfort, an ergonomically correct sitting posture and overall healthier working. Professional office chairs with lumbar support are therefore also an investment that pays off for your company.
