Sorting Office Chair Seat Height Issues

Unsurprisingly the majority of office chairs are made to suit the average person, although what is average is open to wide interpretation.

When you’re between 5 foot 6 inches and 6 foot you’re unlikely to have trouble adjusting your office chair seat height properly.

When you fall outside this height range you may not be so lucky. People less than 5 foot 5 inches frequently find that they can’t rest their feet squarely on the floor, even with the chair set at its lowest level.

On the other hand, when you’re over 6 foot the opposite problem can occur, here your knees and upper legs end up pointing upwards which is both uncomfortable and bad for the posture.

Quite often the issue can be solved relatively easily by changing the standard pneumatic gas lift for one with either a lower or higher lift range. Try contacting your chair supplier and see if they can help.

For the smaller built person using an adjustable footrest can often sort this problem.
