HOW CAN I MAKE SURE GUESTS ARE COMFORTABLE DURING A CONFERENCE?

A bad back, stiff neck or the dreaded ‘numb bum’ are things no one wants to take away from a work meeting or business conference.

Ergonomics are just as important in the meeting room as they are in the office. Even though they’re not continuously-used spaces, they’re places where we have to sit for a length of time – sometimes for a few hours, sometimes all day.

Being uncomfortable doesn’t just make it harder to concentrate – pretty essential in meetings – the health issues caused by prolonged poor posture are well known.

It’s why Burgess Furniture has invested greatly in the issue of conference room comfort in the hospitality market, designing chairs that not only look professional but give guests maximum support where they need it most.

Burgess conference room collection

Contemporary, classically styled and exceptionally comfortable, there’s a Burgess conference room chair to match any meeting space.

Conference seating options include:

Adamas: Exclusive AirComfort cushion

A re-imagining of our beloved original Turini chair and created in celebration of our 60^th anniversary, Adamas features our exclusive FIRA-approved AirComfort ergonomic seat cushion, which has specially-placed seating pads for maximum support. Available in a range of frames and finishes, Adamas has a choice of four ‘sandwich’ back shapes which cover the frame, so the upholstery and stylish shape of the chair takes centre stage.
