Seat Height

The vertical distance from the floor to the seating surface of a chair.

What is Seat Height?

Seat height determines the position of the user's knees, thighs and feet relative to the floor and workstation. An appropriate seat height generally allows the user's feet to rest comfortably while maintaining a suitable relationship between the seat and desk.

Adjustable seat height is particularly useful in ergonomic office chairs because users differ significantly in height and leg length. It also allows the chair to be adjusted to different desk heights.

Seat height is normally measured from the floor to the upper surface of the seat, although the exact measurement method can vary depending on the chair design and whether the seat is compressed.

Why Does Seat Height Matter?

Correct seat height helps users establish a comfortable relationship between their body, chair and desk. It is one of the fundamental dimensions of an adjustable office chair.
