10 Day Chair Trial

 

Ergonomic Chair Trial Program

We introduced our Trial Chair Program in 1989, originally to support people living with chronic back pain.

The story from the beginning.

Many clients were managing significant aggravated spinal conditions, including ruptured lower lumbar discs, where unsupported or poorly supported posture would aggravate symptoms.

It was clear that a few minutes in a posture supportive chair, whether in a showroom or clinic was not enough for meaningful benefit to be experienced.

At that time, we offered the use of a recommended or shortlisted chair, usually an office chair with a DUO dual density posture support design.

What we observed over time was simple and consistent; when the pelvis sunk into the soft rear cushion and properly secured between the firmer front cushion and the lumbar backrest an "S" curve spinal posture was achieved with minimal muscular effort since the seat was doing the work. For the majority, lower back subsided through greatly improved posture support and reduced aggravation. Indeed, sustained posture support from the DUO dual density seat design often provided measurable relief. This early proof of concept for a DUO dual density posture support design became the foundation of how we approach ergonomic seating....natural supported active posture.

Since then, we have continued to work alongside many chair recipients; individuals and their clinicians, WHS professionals, and a broad range of organisations. Leading organisations such as Westpac and NRMA made this style of supportive office chair design standard issue to their office workers. 

The offering remains the same today. Our eo Chair Trial Program allows you to use a recommended or shortlisted ergonomic chair in your own workspace to ensure sizing is correct and to experience the chairs benefits.

By working, sitting, adjusting and moving through a normal day, you can properly assess comfort, fit and support under real-world conditions before making a decision.
