A bad back, stiff neck or the dreaded \u2018numb bum\u2019 are things no one wants to take away from a work meeting or business conference.<\/p>\n

Ergonomics are just as important in the meeting room as they are in the office. Even though they\u2019re not continuously-used spaces, they\u2019re places where we have to sit for a length of time \u2013 sometimes for a few hours, sometimes all day.<\/p>\n

Being uncomfortable doesn\u2019t just make it harder to concentrate \u2013 pretty essential in meetings \u2013 the health issues caused by prolonged poor posture are well known.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
