How to Choose the Right Office Chair with Armrest

The purpose of the armrest is to support the elbow, thereby soothing the shoulder muscles. Resting your elbows on the armrest instead of the table will prevent you from leaning forward and putting extra strain on your elbows. Armrests also promote good posture. However, make sure that the armrests are not set too high or touch the table.

There are five types of armrests: fixed,1D, 2D, 3D and 4D armrest.

Fixed armrests are one of the most basic types of armrests on office chairs. Its main function is to provide stable support to help users maintain a comfortable posture during work. The fixed armrest is suitable for those users who do not need to adjust the height of the armrest frequently, and has the characteristics of simple structure and durability.

1D armrests have one more dimension of adjustment function than fixed armrests. It is usually possible to adjust the height of the armrest to adapt to users of different heights, providing a more personalized experience. The 1D armrest allows users to fine-tune it according to their body's needs, thereby reducing shoulder and neck fatigue and improving working comfort.

2D armrests add the function of front and rear adjustment on the basis of adjustable height. This armrest design can better match the height of the table and personal habits, effectively relieve the pressure on the arm and shoulder, and maintain a comfortable posture during long hours of work, reducing discomfort.

On the basis of height and front and rear adjustment, the 3D armrest also adds the function of rotation or Angle adjustment. This armrest design allows users to make more fine adjustments to the armrest according to personal preferences and work needs, providing a more intimate and comfortable experience, and further reducing the burden on the shoulder and neck.

The 4D armrest adds the width adjustment function of the handrail on the basis of 3D. By adjusting the width of the armrest, it can better adapt to different body types and habits, and provide users with more humanized support and comfort, which is a common armrest design on high-end office chairs or game chairs.

Good armrests, in addition to being as adjustable as possible, are quite wide and have a slightly softer surface for more comfort! Now it's up to you!
