Reflexion Office Seating

REFLEXION HELPS AVOID THE PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH POOR OFFICE SEATING

Those employed in offices or sedentary jobs may find themselves sitting at desks or computers for a large part of each working day. However, poor quality seating can lead to discomfort, loss of concentration and decreased work output, plus the risk of bad posture and resultant back pain.

Absenteeism relating to this problem is currently costing British companies and the NHS in excess of £5 billion per annum, and resulting in over 4.8 million working days lost. That's why it's vital that office based workers should enjoy premium quality seating which will ensure that they experience continued comfort, correct posture and total support for the body.

COMPARE A REFLEXION SEAT CUSHION'S PERFORMANCE WITH THAT OF AN ORDINARY SEAT CUSHION

The two pressure maps below show the pressure exerted when a user sits on a conventional seat (Map 1) and when a users sits on a seat made from Reflexion (Map 2). These tests were conducted using an identical protocol. The lightest pressures are shown in blue, whilst the heaviest pressures are shown in yellow and amber. As pressure increases sitting becomes uncomfortable and heavy pressure over sustained periods can cause circulatory problems leading to the development of pressure sores.

Pressure map 1, Conventional seat	Pressure map 2, Reflexion seat
This pressure map shows the pressure distribution on an ordinary office chair. Areas in amber and yellow indicate high pressure and potential problems for the users.	Compared to the equilalent conventional seat, Reflexion reduces pressure substantially. This makes a real difference for the user in terms of comfort, improved posture and consistent high performance over long periods.
