You get to the office every morning eager to accomplish powerful tasks. You’re a work warrior: pitching ideas, closing global deals, creating dazzling new products and innovating with groundbreaking technology, while you inhale half a chicken salad during a conference call, before your next meeting. You’re basically the office superhero. But you probably conquer the world without realizing that you actually do it all while sitting at your desk, so you pay little to no attention to your most important co-worker: your office chair.

The average American is now spending roughly 50 hours at work every week. That’s around 200 hours each month and 2,400 each year.
Compare that much sitting with the mere 8.5 hours a week we spend in our cars.

But we don’t choose just any car, do we? We google that pearly white Lexus SUV for months and fantasize, as we start spotting it everywhere on the road. Then we read up on all the features, specs and qualities of our desired vessel and we spare no cost to finally drive it home. After all, we spend a substantial amount of our time in our car so we’re better off owning a luxury, high performance vehicle that can make our lives convenient, more glamorous and protect our bodies from injury.

But the truth is, we sit in that car for only 15% of the time we sit at work, yet when we look for an office chair, we tend to go for the cheapest option that seems nice enough without really worrying about efficiency and durability.

In the game of work thrones, quality is key. Optimal seating should be prioritized and taken seriously. A deficient office chair will create more problems than it will solve, being the culprit for bad posture and hence, major body issues on the neck, back, legs and even hips. Hand and wrist pain are also possible, triggering Carpal Tunnel syndrome which is anything but fun.
Besides, the discomfort of sitting in an inadequate chair will also affect our behavior, inhibiting our capability, especially on those long, stressful office days.

Stand up for your well-being and choose a chair that will promote performance and keep your mind and body safe. Shop for it as if you were picking out your fancy new vehicle and appoint a fitting sidekick to your success. No sense trying to save a buck when your health and achievements are at risk.

Make sure you select a model made of superior materials with ergonomic engineering, lumbar protection, adjustability, compelling body weight support, adequate arm and head rests and overall high-standards. And none of these impressive features means the chair has to be unattractive. There are excellent options out there that are also stunning and thrilling, which will definitely beautify your workspace and charm your staff and visitors.

So you can keep your Lexus, knowing that you already have another set of wheels that will drive you further, better and safer into greatness.
