The comfort of the chair is determined primarily by the size of the human body, and only then by the design and design features. As a rule, when choosing, the decisive factor is not the size of the product, but how harmoniously it will combine with other objects in the interior and match the style. This approach is absolutely wrong. If the furniture is unsuitable for sitting, then even the most expensive chair will not eliminate unpleasant sensations.
What sizes does the chair "Standard" have
When choosing, you need to consider the relationship with other pieces of furniture in order to correctly determine the dimensions. The angle of inclination of the back should be 8-12 °, otherwise pain in the back and neck can not be avoided. With a low seat, you will have to bend your knees, which will lead to numbness of the legs, as blood circulation will be impaired.
When the chair is not balanced in height with the table, working in this position is difficult. Due to the need to bend all the time, you can earn myopia. Therefore, in the manufacture of furniture for seating, they use standard sizes calculated for the average person:
- The seat is located at a height of 40 to 45 cm from the floor.
- Seat width 43 cm.
- Depth - 40-45 cm.
- The height of the backrest from the seat is 40-45 cm, and from the floor to its highest point - 80-90 cm.
These are approximate parameters. The width of the seat and the height of the back can vary, as these dimensions do not have a significant impact on the comfort of the posture.
Chair height with backrest
The question of the height of the chair with the back is quite relevant. One person likes it when their legs rest on the floor, while the other - on the contrary, so that they rise higher.
If the furniture for sitting is uncomfortable, then an incorrect position of the body will respond with pain in the back and joints. Ideally, the feet of a seated person should rest on the floor, and the hip joint will be a right angle with the knee.
When the foot is not completely attached to the floor surface, you should choose a chair below. With strongly raised knees, a higher model is required.
If family members have different heights, then you can choose the option when the seat height is adjustable.
When buying a single set, it is best to focus on a family member with a higher growth, because low chairs deliver more discomfort.
Height models for the kitchen, office, child
The generally accepted height of a product for a dining table is 40-45 cm. Moreover, the gap between people sitting next to each other at a dining table is at least 500 mm, while the legs of a rectangular table are located at a distance of 910 mm.
The office chair should be taller, between 450 and 480 mm. You can learn more precisely the parameters after a small experiment. To do this, you need to sit so that the back is fully in contact with a flat surface, and there should be a right angle between the thigh and lower leg.
Now it remains to measure the distance from the fifth point to the floor. This will be the ideal model height for work. The kitchen chair is chosen 5 cm below.
When choosing a chair for a child, many parents prefer models that are adjustable in height. Then, as the baby grows, there is no need for frequent updating of furniture. But height standards for baby chairs still exist:
- With growth from 93 to 116 cm, the height of the table is 46 cm, and the chair - 26 cm;
- For growth of 120 cm, these values are 53 and 31, respectively;
- 140 cm - 59 and 35;
- 150 cm - 64 and 38;
- 170 cm - 71 and 43;
- 180 cm - 76 and 46.
In addition to height, the width of the seat also matters. The optimal value for this parameter is 500 mm. This option is suitable for people with any complexion. The depth should not be more than 450 mm, otherwise when you try to network deeper the edges of the seat will cut into the skin under the knees.
When buying, do not rely on intuition, do not waste your money and time. It is better to immediately choose the option depending on the dimensional characteristics.
