How to Properly Measure Seat Height Range

STEP ONE: Sitting Elbow Height Range

• Measure the height from the floor to the top of your work surface.

STEP TWO: Calculate Seat Height

• Calculate the optimal seat height range by subtracting 10” from the work surface height.
• This calculation should be the mid-point of the chair’s seat height range.
• Your seat height range should adjust at least 2.5” above and 2.5” below this midpoint.
• It’s important to select the right chair that conforms to the body and environment.
• Evaluate features such as seat size and depth, back height, arm height, chair height, and tilt tension.
