Does Your Office Chair Have Seat Depth Adjustment?

One of the must have features on any Office Chair is the ability to adjust the seat depth. Surprisingly, few standard Office Chairs have this feature although it becoming more common on new models of Office Chair, quite often as an optional extra.

So, why is it so important to be able to adjust the depth of your Office Chair’s seat?

Well, if you think about it we don’t all come in the same size, us humans. If your leg length happens to be the right length for a fixed seat Office Chair, all well and good. However, what is the right depth for the seat pad of an Office Chair?

The answer is quite simple, there isn’t one. Hardly surprising when one person can have a 28 inch inside leg measurement and another might have a 38 inch leg measurement, how could a fixed seat fit both?

This is why it is so important to be able to adjust the seat depth of your Office Chair. Just as the smaller built person doesn’t want to have to perch on the edge of their chair leaving their back unsupported, nor does the taller person want to find their legs stretching way out in front of  them when seated at their Office Chair.

Most seat depth adjustment mechanisms allow for 6 to 8 inches of front to back length adjustment. This will cater for the vast majority of Office Chair users. So, when you next buy an Office Chair insist on having seat depth adjustment, you’ll be glad you did.
