How do I determine the correct seat width for an ergonomic chair?

Seat width is a fitting parameter that OfficeFurniture2go.com addresses carefully in workstation ergonomic assessments. Our standard commercial task chairs carry 19"–20" seat widths, appropriate for users with hip widths of 14"–18". For users outside this range—particularly in diverse workforce populations—we specify chairs from our wide-seat series (20"–24" seat width) for larger frames and our compact series (17"–18") for users who find standard seats too wide. The armrest placement is directly affected by seat width: on wider seats, 4D armrests must be set to their maximum inward position to achieve neutral shoulder angles for average-width users. We conduct seat width verification during ergonomic assessments. Call 1-800-460-0858.
