Specialist Office Seating for Accessible Workplaces & Improved Ergonomic Support

A suitable specialist office chair can make a significant difference to comfort, posture, productivity and independence in the workplace. At John Preston, our range of specialist office seating is designed to support individuals who require more than a standard office chair, providing enhanced adjustability, ergonomic positioning and tailored comfort for a wide variety of working environments.

As part of our Access to Work equipment range, we supply specialist workplace seating solutions for employees who need additional support due to disability, health conditions, reduced mobility or postural requirements. Our team works with individuals, employers and occupational therapists to help identify suitable seating solutions, provide demonstrations and offer quotations where required.

Ergonomic Office Chairs Designed Around Individual Needs

Traditional office chairs are not always suitable for everyone. A specialist office chair provides increased levels of adjustment and support, helping users achieve a more comfortable and sustainable working position throughout the day.

Specialist office seating can help address workplace challenges associated with:

• Back, neck and shoulder discomfort
• Reduced mobility
• Musculoskeletal conditions
• Fatigue caused by prolonged sitting
• Postural difficulties
• Physical disabilities affecting workplace activities
• The need for greater adjustability and support

With features designed around the individual user, specialist office chairs can help create a more accessible and comfortable workstation.

Features of Specialist Office Seating

John Preston supplies a range of ergonomic office chairs with features designed to support different workplace requirements, including:

• Adjustable seat height and depth
• Customisable back support
• Adjustable armrests
• Ergonomic lumbar support
• Tilt and recline functions
• Supportive seating options
• Specialist bariatric office chairs
• Adjustable configurations for individual users

These features allow the chair to be adapted to the user rather than requiring the user to adapt to the chair.

Access to Work Workplace Seating Solutions

The Access to Work scheme provides practical support for eligible disabled people and those with health conditions to help them overcome barriers in the workplace. Specialist seating may form part of a workplace adjustment where it is required to help an individual perform their role comfortably and effectively.

John Preston can support the Access to Work process by providing:

• Product advice
• Workplace seating recommendations
• Demonstrations
• Quotations
• Support with occupational therapist assessments

We understand that every workplace and individual requirement is different, which is why our specialists focus on finding the most appropriate solution.

Specialist Seating for Office & Home Working

Our specialist office seating is suitable for:

• Corporate offices
• Home working environments
• Healthcare settings
• Educational workplaces
• Professional practices

Supporting Better Posture & Comfort

Maintaining a good seated position throughout the working day can help improve comfort and reduce the physical strain associated with unsuitable seating.

Specialist office chairs are designed to encourage:

• Improved sitting posture
