An Interplay of Chair Dimensions, Anthropometric Measures, Posture, and Comfort Among Students

This paper aims to display the contextual evidence that suggests an inherent relationship among chair dimensions, anthropometric measures of users, posture, and comfort. A comprehensive literature review is performed, with specific points of reference to educational settings, in order to validate the contextual evidence. Key results pointed out an empirical mismatch between the dimensions of classroom chairs and key elements in anthropometry, which causes discomfort among users. Additionally, users' posture is also found to contribute to the overall discomfort. Several approaches are believed to promote a more comfortable sitting experience, including integrating ergonomic design principles.
