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.
