Sitting too high or too low can cause a tired back or legs. How do you determine the ideal seat height for your new chairs? Read the tips in this blog.

Length and table height

Choosing the right seat height is a combination of your own height and the height of your dining table. A rule of thumb is that your thighs should be roughly horizontal and your feet flat on the floor when you sit on the chair. This way you sit relaxed upright without it pinching under your knees.

Therefore, first measure the exact height of your current or new dining table. Take this into account when determining the chair height. Dining tables are usually approximately 75 cm high. However, this can vary.

Your own height also plays a role. Tall people generally need a higher chair than shorter people. Make sure the ratio between your height and the table height is correct.

Standard sizes

Most dining chairs have a seat height between approximately 45 and 55 cm. This usually fits the average person well. Are you between 175 and 195 cm tall? Then a standard seat height of approximately 48 cm is usually ideal.

Are you a lot shorter or taller than this average? Then choose a shorter or taller chair to your height. Measure yourself and take the table height into account. This way you will find the optimal seat height.

Infinitely adjustable

Nowadays there are also quality dining chairs with a continuously height adjustable seat. This can be useful if there are different users with different lengths. This is also flexible if you want to use the chairs at a new dining table.

You can easily adjust the height by operating the gas spring. When choosing an adjustable chair, pay attention to how smoothly and stably it works. A good quality adjustment mechanism is essential.

Children's size

For children, a smaller size dining chair is of course needed, adapted to their height. Make sure that the legs can bend neatly 90 degrees and the feet touch the ground. This is important for a good sitting posture while eating.

A high chair generally has a seat height of about 30 cm. If necessary, choose an adjustable dining chair, so that the chair grows with your child. This way you are provided for years.
