Good Morning!!!
Well, today is National Prayer Day. I would encourage each and everyone to stop for a minute and offer up a prayer for yourself, friends, loved-ones, people you don't know, our country and the brave men and women who are in the Armed Forces laying their life on the line so that we may remain free in our country.
I have worked often with individuals that are 5'4" and shorter. The petite individual has a really hard time finding a chair that will fit not only their tourso length but also their inseam. One of the problems is that most companies do not offer their petite employees a desk that is low enough for their feet to be flat on the ground when they are sitting at their desk. We have a footforte that can be set in front of the employee while they are sitting at their desk. It is made similar to the old sewing machine that our grandmothers had to pump with their feet. This pumping action helps to give you better circulation in the feet and calves of your legs. One thing that I have found is that it also helps to keep your feet and ankles from swelling. I am not a petite individual but I use one and love it.
Our petite ergonomic chair has a seat depth of 18 1/2" by 17 1/2" and with the Back Depth Adjuster, you are able to take more seat depth off the chair for your inseam length. I have worked with many individuals who are 4'9" to 5'4" and have been able to custom build an ergonomic chair that has worked for them.
One lady in particular was 5' and wanted our neckroll on her chair. I was not sure that this was going to work for her but decided to give it a try. She ordered a J3406 leather office chair and she is extremely happy. She said she had never had a chair fit her like a glove and looks forward to going in to work each morning because she knows she will be more comfortable while sitting at her desk and therefore she is more productive.
I would love the opportunity to work with you in making recommendations on the proper chair and options that you need to have a great chair. Please either give me a call at 936-870-2699 or email me at pross@ergo4me.com.
Again, remember it is National Prayer day and may each and everyone of you have a mightly blessed day.
Peggy
