What aspects of the ergonomic design of sofas are reflected?

As a piece of furniture that is frequently used in daily life, the ergonomic design of sofas is crucial.
First of all, in terms of seat height, ergonomically designed sofas will take into account the natural bending angle of the user's legs. The right height allows the user's feet to land naturally when sitting, and the thighs and calves are at an angle of about 90 degrees, which can reduce the pressure on the legs and avoid leg fatigue and poor blood circulation caused by long-term sitting.
Seat depth is also one of the keys. A sofa with moderate depth allows the user's back to be completely against the backrest, and there is still a certain amount of space from the buttocks to the back of the knees, which will not make the user feel that sitting too shallowly lacks support, nor will it make the waist hang in the air due to sitting too deep. This can effectively provide good support for the waist and back and reduce the tension of the waist muscles.
The design of the backrest is equally important. The backrest of an ergonomic sofa usually has a certain inclination angle to fit the natural curve of the human back. At the same time, the height of the backrest should be able to support the user's neck and shoulders, give proper support to the head, and relieve the pressure on the neck and shoulders. For some sofas with adjustable backrest angles, users can adjust them according to their needs to meet different sitting postures and resting needs.
The design of the armrests also reflects ergonomics. The height of the armrests should match the height of the seat, so that users feel comfortable and natural when relaxing their arms. Armrests of moderate width can also provide sufficient support for the arms to avoid fatigue caused by long-term hanging of the arms.
In addition, the choice of sofa material will also affect the ergonomic effect. Soft but elastic filling materials can better adapt to the shape of the human body and provide a comfortable sitting feeling. At the same time, fabrics with good breathability can keep the user's body dry and improve comfort.
In short, the ergonomically designed sofa fully considers the physiological characteristics and needs of the human body in terms of seat height, depth, backrest, armrests and materials, providing users with a comfortable and healthy sitting and lying experience.
