Wiepa Breeze: Ergonomic Office Chair for Healthy Work
With the Wiepa Breeze, adjustability, movement support, and the correct basic settings are crucial. A good office chair is only effective if it suits the body and the entire workplace.
In a Nutshell
Seat height, seat depth, backrest, synchronous mechanism, and armrests should be adjusted in a fixed order. Then, the desk and monitor are adjusted.
Why Comfortable Doesn't Automatically Mean Ergonomic
A chair might feel soft and pleasant during an initial test sit, yet still be a poor fit for the user. For prolonged screen work, it's crucial whether the chair supports different body measurements, allows movement, and can be sufficiently adjusted.
The Most Important Adjustment Functions
- Seat height: Feet are fully on the floor.
- Seat depth: A small gap remains between the seat edge and the back of the knee.
- Backrest: The back is supported without forcing a rigid posture.
- Synchronous mechanism: Seat and backrest move in coordination.
- Armrests: Shoulders remain relaxed, and the chair can move close to the desk.
How to Properly Adjust the Breeze
- Adjust seat height and place feet firmly on the floor.
- Choose seat depth so that the back of the knee remains free.
- Position the backrest or lumbar support appropriately.
- Adjust the counterpressure of the mechanism to body weight.
- Adjust armrests to a relaxed shoulder position.
- Subsequently adjust desk height and monitor.
Utilizing Dynamic Sitting
A synchronous mechanism supports alternating between upright and reclined postures. Its benefits are often squandered because the mechanism is permanently locked or the counterpressure is set too high. The goal is not a perfect fixed posture, but regular changes in position.
For Which Workplaces Is the Breeze Interesting?
The Breeze can be interesting for administrative work, classic screen-based work, home offices, and shared workstations. For very high demands, special body measurements, or health limitations, it should be individually checked whether additional adjustment options or a different model would be more suitable.
| Error | Possible Consequence | Correction |
|---|---|---|
| Chair too high | Feet not securely on the floor | Lower seat height or check footrest |
| Armrests too high | Shoulders are raised | Lower armrests |
| Mechanism locked | Little movement | Release and adjust mechanism |
| Monitor too low | Neck is bent | Correct monitor position |
FAQ
How do I adjust the seat height correctly?
Your feet should be fully on the floor. Your knees and hips should be roughly at the same height.
How much space should be left at the back of the knee?
A small gap prevents pressure from the seat edge.
Should the backrest be movable?
For many screen-based workplaces, a movable, appropriately adjusted backrest is sensible.
Do I need armrests?
Well-adjustable armrests can relieve shoulders and arms but should not hinder moving the chair close to the desk.
Is test sitting advisable?
Yes. Body measurements, usability, and sitting feel can only be assessed to a limited extent based on technical data.
