24-hour chairs: maximum comfort for intensive use
A 24-hour chair is specially designed for employees who sit for long periods and intensively. This includes control rooms, monitoring centers, security posts, and hospitals where employees work in shifts. Regular office chairs are designed for an 8-hour workday and are not built for continuous use. A 24-hour chair is: more robustly built, with heavier mechanisms and high-quality upholstery that can withstand intensive use by multiple users.
Why choose a 24-hour chair?
For prolonged sitting, good ergonomic support is essential. 24-hour chairs are equipped with extensive adjustment options: from seat height and seat depth to lumbar support, armrests, and back angle. This allows every employee to adjust the chair to their body, regardless of the shift schedule. This reduces physical complaints and significantly increases productivity.
Furthermore, the materials of 24-hour chairs are designed for heavier loads. The gas lift, base, and mechanism are certified for continuous use, often in accordance with NEN-EN 1335 or comparable standards for intensive use.

Frequently asked questions about 24-hour chairs
What is the difference between a regular office chair and a 24-hour chair?
A regular office chair is designed for use of up to 8 hours per day by a single user. A 24-hour chair is built for continuous use, including by multiple users in alternating shifts. The mechanisms, gas springs, and upholstery are more robust and have a longer lifespan with intensive use.
How long does a 24-hour chair last?
With correct use and regular maintenance, a quality 24-hour chair lasts on average 8 to 12 years, even with multi-shift use. This makes the investment very cost-effective in the long run compared to regular office chairs that wear out quickly with intensive use.
Are 24-hour chairs also suitable for home use?
Yes, 24-hour chairs are also excellently suited for home workers who sit for many hours a day. The extra ergonomic support and robust construction make them an excellent choice for anyone who values comfort and durability, even outside a professional environment.
Which standards apply to 24-hour chairs?
