Looking for love? These task chairs could be “the one.”


February is the month where love fills the air. Although it is one of the shortest months, love always seems to saturate the entire month. During this time, many single people search for someone to spend Valentine’s Day with, but they’re not the only ones doing the searching- organizations are also searching to match their staff with the right task chair that supports employees during long sitting hours as well as after-hours conversations in the office.

Have you ever considered how much time you spend sitting at your desk? We spend more time swiping on dating apps than thinking of the impact the chair we sit on has on our body and day-to-day productivity. Think about it, we spend about eight hours a day at work, and out of those eight hours, we are oblivious to the comfort level of the chair we’re sitting on. Is that chair meeting our basic lumbar support needs? Is it causing that back pain we keep complaining about?
