Squeeze-type Office Chair

"Squeeze-type office chair" is not a universally recognized term in the industry and currently lacks a clear definition. However, it can be understood as an office chair that applies pressure to specific body parts (such as the shoulders, neck, lower back, and buttocks) through airbags or mechanical structures to achieve massage or support functions.

Implementation Principle of Squeeze Function

Some high-end office chairs achieve squeeze effects through the "airbag + roller dual-mode kneading" technology. For example, the Westinghouse Press-type Office Chair models S180/S150 adopt a design that combines airbags with rollers. When the airbags inflate and expand, they exert pressure on the muscles, and in conjunction with the rolling massage of the rollers, they simulate the kneading action of human hands, covering the entire areas of the shoulders, neck, lower back, and buttocks. Additionally, intelligent body shape detection technology can adjust the position of the massage heads, making the airbag pinching more in line with the human body's curves and enhancing the precision and comfort of the squeezing.

Classification of Squeeze-type Office Chairs

1. Massage-type Squeeze Office Chairs: These chairs aim to relieve muscle fatigue by applying pressure to specific parts through airbags or mechanical structures. For example, some products target lower back pain caused by prolonged sitting and are equipped with adjustable airbags on the backrest. Through cycles of inflation and deflation, they squeeze the lower back muscles to promote blood circulation.
2. Support-type Squeeze Office Chairs: These chairs provide dynamic support through elastic materials or adjustable structures. For example, some ergonomic chairs adopt a zoned design on the seat cushion or backrest, utilizing material elasticity or air pressure rod adjustments to apply moderate pressure to the buttocks or lower back, distributing body weight and reducing local pressure.

Technical Standards and Certifications

Squeeze-type office chairs must comply with industry standards for ergonomic chairs or massage chairs. For example, the international SGS certification requires strict testing of indicators such as the strength of the chair frame and the durability of the air pressure rod to ensure safety during use. For massage functions, they must comply with electrical safety standards (such as protection against electric leakage and overheating). Additionally, the material and pressure range of the airbags must meet human tolerance requirements to avoid discomfort or injury caused by excessive pressure.

Purchase Recommendations

When choosing a squeeze-type office chair, consider the following aspects:

• Functional Requirements: Clarify whether you need it for massage and relaxation or support and correction. For massage-type chairs, pay attention to the number and distribution of airbags as well as the massage modes. For support-type chairs, focus on the zoned design and the range of elastic adjustments.
• Safety Certifications: Prioritize products that have passed international certifications such as SGS and BIFMA to ensure non-toxic materials and stable structures.
• Adaptability: Choose adjustable functions (such as backrest height and airbag pressure) based on your height and body shape to ensure that the squeezing effect fits your body's needs.
