What is the correct seat height for chairs?

The average seat height for a chair is 43 to 46 centimeters. The ideal width varies from 46 to 59 centimeters. For example, a chair with armrests is often wider than a chair without armrests. And do you indeed choose a chair with armrests ? Then always keep in mind that the armrests fit under the table. Preferably with a gap of 2 centimeters, because then you do not damage the chairs and the table. And it is always nice if a hand fits between the chair and the bottom of the table top, because then you can easily slide the chair on and off the table. Do you like to sit a bit higher at the table? Then you can choose a chair with a higher seat height of your chair. Also nice if you are tall yourself, for example, because then your legs have more space. Are you smaller or do you have shorter legs? Then a chair with a lower seat height is perfect. Otherwise you run the risk of not being able to reach the ground with your feet, which of course is not so comfortable. And then there is also something like the seat depth of a chair. Do you have long thighs? Then choose a chair with a spacious seat depth. This way you distribute the weight of your thighs over the entire seat. On average, this seat depth is about 40 centimeters.

The perfect sitting position

It is therefore important to take into account your own posture and the seat height of the chair when you are going to determine the layout of your dining area. And that all has to do with finding the perfect sitting position. You sit most comfortably when your spine maintains its natural curve. You notice that when you sit upright against the backrest. Does your back have a slight hollow? Then you are sitting well! It is also important that your feet can stand flat on the floor and that your knees form a 90-degree angle. This relieves your thighs, which then do not rest on the seat of your chair .

Does your chair match the table?

Also always pay attention to the height of your table. For example, it is not pleasant if your chair has a high seat height , while your table is on the low side. Then it becomes difficult to sit with your legs crossed, among other things. And also pay attention to how many chairs actually fit at your table. The length of a table is of course decisive in this, but also pay attention to how the legs are positioned! Not all tables only have a table leg exactly in the corners. Sometimes there is also one in the middle, so you have to measure carefully whether all your chairs really fit!
