5 Ergonomic Product Trends That Are Fading In 2017

We all know, trends come and go. This is especially true in the office world. Industry leading brands are always hard at working looking for new and innovative ways to improve the way we work. Today on The Office Anything Blog we'll take a look at 5 trends that look to be fading and the products that are rapidly replacing them.

1.) Kneeling Chairs

You can always tell when a trend is starting to fade. In the case of kneeling chairs, it's become very evident because brands have really stepped away from manufacturing them. The market demand is just too small. Are kneeling chairs cool? Sure! That being said, today's top chair office brands are far more enthused with the ergonomic advancements surrounding traditional task and computer chairs in 2017. If you need a kneeling chair, there will definitely be options available for years to come. Unfortunately, your selection is starting to diminish.

2.) Single Screen Mounts

One is good, two is better! First we say individuals content with factory monitor bases. Then  the monitor arm introduced and it took the ergo world by storm because it created a ton of usable desk space and provided exceptional adjustment capabilities. Now we're seeing workers make the switch to dual screen systems, thus leaving older single screen units behind. As we're always looking for ways to speed things up throughout the day, a dual screen system will help you cut down on the time spent flipping between tabs and make life in the office much smoother while providing the same space and adjustment benefits of single screen systems. Dual monitor arm arm systems are currently the most popular option, but who knows three and four screen mounts may just be the craze before you know it!

3.) Mobile CPU Holders

Old school mobile CPU holders or "power movers" are rapidly going out of style. You really won't see many brands still making these. In 2017, under mount solutions on retractable glides are the way to go. They provide much more in terms of benefits. While a mobile CPU holder will allow you to move your power source around with ease, it's still restricted because of the cords and typically located in the same spot under the desk. With a retractable CPU holder that mounts under you desk surface, your power source will be up off the ground and out of the way to create more usable knee space. Under mount units also help get your CPU higher up and locked to protect your valued digital files against theft and flood damage.

4.) Hand Crank Tables

Moving right along, sit to stand ergonomic office furniture is the latest craze. This trend started with traditional hand crank tables that took a bit of work to get them up to standing height. Top brands understood that workers were tired of breaking a sweat to work healthy. They knew electric sit to stand tables were the only answer. These days, nearly every reputable ergo manufacturer on the planet is offering some form of push button sit to stand workstation that encourages continuous movement in the workplace, improves blood flow, and reduces fatigue. Alternatively, you won't find too many hand crank tables still out there. If you can find one, they're definitely more affordable when compared to today's electric models. That said, you'll probably wish you'd of spent the extra funds on an electric model once you've cranked it a few times.

5.) Manual Adjustment Chairs

Why spend time adjusting when your chair can do it for you? In 2017 we're seeing a ton of reputable manufacturers working hard to craft the latest and greatest responsive office chairs that minimize the ergonomic learning curve. Manual adjustment chairs will always have their place, but make no mistake, auto responding seating solutions are going to eventually be the industry standard. An ergonomic office chair with an articulating back will help you stay posture perfect throughout task filled days without the need for constant lever pulling and tension knob twisting. We're already seeing brands like RFM, Mayline, Eurotech, and Global driving this emerging movement into superstardom. If you're shopping for a new office chair in 2017, prepare accordingly by checking out hot new "smart chairs" that'll help you get comfortable without the headaches.

Use A Responsive Office Chair To Simplify Your Sit

The days of adjusting your office chair constantly to achieve top notch comfort are coming to an end. Industry innovators like RFM Preferred Seating and Global have made it their mission to simplify your sit with cutting edge office chairs that respond to movement. Today's responsive office chairs provide exceptional health benefits and an unrivaled operating experience. Let's take a look at the top options on the market!

Let's kick things off with the chair that started in all! Nearly a decade in the making, the RFM Preferred Seating Verte chair is an ergonomic marvel. This responsive executive chair boasts 11 torsion loaded spring joints that line the chair back and articulate like the human spine. The Verte chair was designed to mimic user movements to provide top notch support where you need it, when you need it. While not a newcomer to the seating world, the Verte is still ahead of its time and a great option for any shopper on the hunt for a truly luxurious office chair.

Self adjusting office chairs minimize the ergonomic learning curve. Take a sit in the Arti chair from Global and you'll quickly see what we mean. This responsive mesh back office chair articulates and reshapes itself to imitate the users profile. The Arti automatically responds to body movements and sitting positions with it's cutting edge design. The chair back rest is linked together by internal steel cables and highly graded steel springs that play a vital role in ensuring maximum strength and flexibility.

With auto responding office chairs the technology is advanced so that the sit can be simple. If you're tired of twisting tilt tension knobs and pulling mechanism levers to find healthy operating positions, check out The Living Chair from Mayline. It's one of the best responsive office chair buys on the market today. The Living chair is currently available in 3 quick shipping color combinations for $420.99. An industry favorite, the Living chair comes packed with responsive attributes that ensure support throughout task filled work days.

Some chairs are more responsive than others. If you don't like the idea of your chair handling all your adjustments and want to maintain some modicum of control, check out a weight activated office chair like the Creedence from Woodstock Marketing. This ergonomic seating solution boasts a set of adjustable arms that promote healthy computing positions, along with a weight sensitive seat with a waterfall edge that relieves knee pressure when working. The Creedence is super user friendly and an excellent tool to have in your workplace arsenal. While the back of the Creedence chair won't articulate like the other chairs showcased in today's post, this tasker is still a great option for any shopper looking to ease themselves into the responsive seating world.

Have no doubt, responsive office chairs are the way of the future. They're rapidly becoming the industry standard. With nearly every manufacturer on the planet now crafting some form of auto responding, articulating, weight sensitive, and self adjusting chair, you need to be on the look out for cheap imitations and knock offs that aren't built to withstand the rigors of everyday use. One chair you can most certainly rely on is the iOO from Eurotech Seating. This top of the line high back executive chair packs a major ergonomic punch with an array of responsive and independently adjustable sections. The iOO chair is an industry favorite. It's long list of attributes includes a tilt tension control that that adapts to the weight of the user, a personalized back angle adjustment control, multi functional arms, and so much more. You can even add an optional headrest to improve the look and comfort provided by your iOO chair.

Their all new Eon series mesh back task chair packs a major ergonomic punch for just $294.00. We fully believe it's the best chair buy on the market this season. The 415W Eon chair even boasts an attractive gray mesh back and white frame for a super cool modern vibe that's hard to top.

Volante stations attach in just minutes and even feature keyboard platforms that encourage healthy computing angles.
