Functional Effect Examples
Some office chairs come with footrests and are rich in functions. For example, the Gedeli G22 office chair, priced at less than 700 yuan, incorporates functions such as seat depth adjustment, 4D armrests, 6-way headrest, separate waist and back support, and a 136ยฐ reclining position with a footrest. Its 136ยฐ reclining position, combined with a sliding footrest, allows for a near-semi-reclined position during lunch breaks, with the lumbar support remaining in close contact to avoid lumbar suspension, providing users with a relatively comfortable rest experience.
Whether to Add a Footrest
Research by Peking Union Medical College Hospital has found that using a footrest can increase blood flow in the calves by 22%. For friends with a height of around 160 to 170 cm, when the angle between the thighs and torso is maintained at around 105 degrees, the pressure on the back of the knees is directly halved. For those who sit for an average of 8 hours a day, using a footrest can reduce the risk of lumbar disc herniation by 18%. However, there is no need to buy a footrest in the following three situations: a desk width of less than 1.2 meters, a tight budget, and the habit of slouching. At the same time, when buying a footrest, look for one that can bear a weight of at least 20 kilograms, preferably a foldable model, and one that matches a desk with a depth of more than 65 centimeters.
