24 Hour Use Chairs / EN5459

24 Hour Use Chairs are specifically designed for environments where chairs are in continuous use, such as in call centers, control rooms, or any setting with multiple shifts. These chairs are built to withstand heavy use over extended periods without compromising on comfort or ergonomic support.

EN5459 Certification: Chairs in this category are often certified to the EN5459 standard, which ensures they meet specific performance requirements for structural safety and stability when used by individuals weighing more than 110 kg or for more than 8 hours a day. This certification is critical for chairs intended for 24-hour use, providing assurance of durability, comfort, and safety.

Features:

• Ergonomic Design: These chairs often come with adjustable features to accommodate various body types and postures, including adjustable seat height, backrest, armrests, and lumbar support to minimize the risk of back pain or discomfort from prolonged sitting.
• Material Quality: High-quality, durable materials like Crib 5 fabric and foam are used to ensure longevity and resistance to wear. Some models might offer mesh backs for better breathability or leather for a more executive look.
• Mechanisms: Multiple adjustment mechanisms are common, including synchronous or independent tilt for the seat and back, seat slide for depth adjustment, and different tension settings to match user weight.
• Weight Capacity: Typically, these chairs are tested to support up to 150 kg or 23.5 stones, ensuring they can handle heavier users or those who might be sitting for very long periods.
• Certifications: Beyond EN5459, chairs might also meet ISO 9001 for quality management systems, ensuring consistent manufacturing quality.

Use Cases: Ideal for settings where chairs do not get a break from use, like in emergency services dispatch, 24/7 customer support centers, or any workplace with round-the-clock operations.

Benefits:

• Enhanced Comfort: Reduces fatigue and strain even during long hours.
• Durability: Built to last longer under constant use, reducing the frequency of replacements.
• Health: Supports better posture, potentially decreasing the risk of back and neck issues associated with poor seating.

This category ensures that workplaces can provide seating solutions that are both functional for the demanding environment and health-supportive for employees, adhering to some of the highest standards of office seating performance.
