Most office chairs (95% +) use standard casters. These simply pop in and out of the chair base. They can easily be replaced with bell glides which are designed to replace the casters and not change the height of the chair.The ones pictured are $20 on Amazon, but with a little searching on the internet, I am sure that you can find them for less.So find any chair that you like. Pull a caster off. Take a few measurements (Stem height and diameter are important). Buy some bell glides. Swap them for the casters. There are a lot of great recommendations here. I think Steve Lynch has a good solution that I would recommend to, so you aren't limited on your chair choice. I'd recommend to find one you really like and add the bell glides. I know there are lots of suggestions thrown out there on the most comfortable chairs, but comfort really is subjective and differs for everyone.If you're looking for some of the more A grade type chairs comparable to Herman Miller or Steelcase, I recommend checking out some of our Humanscale chairs, such as the Freedom chair here.
Something to keep in mind is that with the top of the line chairs you're paying a higher price because of the ergonomic features designed into the chair without a lot of the manual levers and such you would have to adjust on many other lower priced chairs. Many are usually just as good, just not as fancy. If you're fine with that, then another great option is this one by Nightingale and offers over 9 ergonomic adjustments, so it can basically be adjusted exactly how you want it.My recommendation would be to start with what you're willing to pay for, how many ergonomic adjustments you would like, and don't forget to take into consideration your body type when selecting a chair.Here are a couple links that can help you determine whats best for you:Ergonomic Office Desk, Chair and Keyboard Height CalculatorErgonomic Chair Selector ToolHow to Choose the Best Ergonomic Office ChairLet me know if I can help further!RachelFull disclosure I work for Coalesse, but we offer a couple of options without wheels that are both stylish and comfortable for long days in the office.
//products...It might look a little odd in the pictures but in person this is a gorgeous chair and actually very comfortable to sit in too./Flash-Fur...Before I answer your question, let me underline some benefits of comfortable office chairs which can make a person spend more time concentrating on the job in hand rather than the pain in their back. There are office chairs that come with features like comfortable cushy armrests, height-adjustable seats with tilt functions that provide ample love and support to your body.These days, office chairs come laden in many different styles that fit in wherever you want to work in comfort. Due to this reason, many professionals can be seen who often prefer purchasing home office chairs without castors. There are a number of reasons to explain this. For example, floor covering, safety concerns, or simply personal preference.Let me explain some of these points down below.Floor Covering: Presence of thick carpets in any office would certainly impede any rolling chair!
It is definitely a good reason for seeking office chairs without castors. Sometimes people crib over switching their flooring to wooden or tiled.Safety: Sometimes there are mobility issues at workplaces where people trip over backwards on an office chair with castors. Particularly on hard flooring, people/employees may be anxious if the chair rolls before they are seated properly. Thus, sometimes office chairs can lead to potential accidents at a workplace!Preference: Sometimes usage of a particular type of office chair boils down to personal preferences. It is for this reason a smaller home office user may feel there is no requirement for castors since they might use their home based office for limited periods. Also, various factors like design and colour that gel well with existing fixtures and fittings in the room can pave way for the choice. In this case, function is always secondary and of less importance than personal preference. To answer your question, let me tell you about a beautiful invention called Cantilever Chair.
It has seating and framework that are not supported by four legs, it rather stands on two legs that are attached to the chair seat, bent symmetrically in an L shape. There’s another type of similar chair called the Swivel Chair. A swivel chair can be explained as a revolving chair that comprises of a single leg which can be maneuvered to rotate at an angle of 360 degrees with ease and grace. ing to your specific question some swivel chairs may have castors or wheels. But a typical droughts man Swivel chair comes without castors/wheels. It is normally taller than a typical office chair. They come with a foot ring that supports your legs as sometimes due to the excess chair height it is not possible for your legs to reach to the ground.There are some other kind of chairs known as recliners that also don’t quite require wheels. Recliners are mostly comfy as opposed to a standard office chair with wheels. But, there’s a downside too. Chairs without wheels cannot be made easily portable due to issues such as weight, sizing, built, etc.
Wheels render the advantage of making a chair readily portable. But they oftentimes can lead to accidents due to their lightweight nature.If I were you, I would definitely consider all my options and choose anyone between recliners and Droughts-man Swivel chairs based on my comfort quotient.Are you planning to buy office chairs without wheels? I also prefer chairs that are designed without wheels because they allow to seat comfortably. Whenever I seat on chairs with wheels, they start rolling backwards before I even have seated properly. This happens particularly on hard flooring. Moreover I find chairs without wheels safer. They will allow you to tilt back safely. Take a look at the site Buy Online Chairs. Here you will find an assorted collection of aesthetically designed chairs without wheels. You may find them useful.
