Your office chair is the key to a comfortable working day, whether you work from home or commute into the office. A good office chair is designed to support your body for your entire working day, whether part-time or for long shifts.
At Loopspace, we can't emphasise enough the importance of a well-functioning office chair. If your chair isn't working correctly, you won't experience proper comfort and support, the health benefits a good chair can provide, or a productivity boost.
We'll explain how to tell if your office chair needs replacement parts and the benefits of repairing your favourite seat.
Common signs your chair needs new parts
At Loopspace, we stock a huge range of office chair replacement parts for various brands, including Steelcase, Herman Miller, and Haworth. It's quite obvious when a chair isn't working correctly, but below are common signs that it might be time to repair your office chair.
An unstable base
If the base of your office chair is unstable or wobbles, there may be issues with the five star base or castors.
Height adjustment problems
If it's difficult or impossible to adjust the height of your office chair, it might be time for a new gas lift or gas cylinder. It's crucial that this part works properly, especially if more than one person shares the same office chair. All users should adjust the seat height to suit their body measurements.
Chair isn't tilting properly
If the tilt mechanism isn't working properly, it might be time for a new back or forward tilt button. An ergonomic office chair's tilt mechanism is vital for harnessing comfort for various tasks. You may want to lean back or forward depending on whether you’re typing, taking a phone call, or just taking a minute to stretch.
Problems with the seat
If your seat feels uncomfortable or worn out, it might be time to replace the seat pad. This will provide renewed comfort to your whole body at minimal cost.
Armrest issues
When the top of your chair's armrests become loose or worn, you don't need to purchase a whole new chair. Simply upgrade your seat with replacement arm pads.
Worn headrest
If your headrest is worn or you simply want to add a new headrest to your existing chair, explore our replacement headrests.
Lumbar support issues
Lumbar support is one of the key benefits of investing in an ergonomic office chair. But over time, it can wear down or split, making your chair uncomfortable, especially when sitting in it for long periods. We offer replacement lumbar supports and a PostureFit Butterfly Pad for Herman Miller Aeron chairs.
Difficulty rolling
If you're having trouble manoeuvring your chair around the office, or notice scratches on your floors, it's likely due to worn-out castors. Thankfully, they're easy and budget-friendly to replace.
Foot support issues
If you're having foot support issues in your counter-height reception, control room, or draughtsman chair, you might need a replacement foot ring.
Why you should repair instead of replace
When something goes wrong with your favourite desk chair, you might panic at the thought of investing in a new one. After all, a good office chair isn't cheap. Loopspace makes it easy to repair your existing chair instead of replacing it.
Repairing instead of replacing is much more cost-effective. Swapping parts will save you a lot of money compared to buying a new chair.
It is also much more sustainable to replace office chair parts. It reduces waste and promotes a more eco-friendly workspace.
Finally, you can enjoy the comfort and ergonomics you're used to. Finding the perfect office chair for your needs can often be a process. If something goes wrong, replacing your chair and readjusting it to your measurements can be a hassle. Replacing worn-out components means you can keep your office furniture just the way you like it, but now with upgraded parts.
