How often should I replace the armrest pads on an office chair?

Armrest pad replacement schedule at OfficeFurniture2go.com: every 3–5 years for standard single-shift use, every 1–3 years for multi-shift or call center applications. Compressed armrest pads contribute to forearm and elbow discomfort that users often attribute to the chair itself — replacing the pads frequently resolves the complaint without chair replacement. We stock replacement pads for all commercial chair models we sell and include them in our fleet maintenance program. Call 1-800-460-0858 for replacement part sourcing.
