Everything about rocking chairs

Nothing says relaxation like a good rocking chair. When you choose a wooden rocking chair , you know that the calm, soothing feeling these wooden rocking chairs provide will be around on a permanent basis.

A good rocking chair design considers intended usage, ergonomics as well as non-ergonomic functional requirements such as size, weight, durability, stain resistance and artistic design.

Ergonomic rocking chair designs distributes the weight of the occupant to various parts of the body. A seat that is higher results in dangling feet and increased pressure on the underside of the knees. It may also result in no weight on the feet which means more weight elsewhere. A lower seat may shift too much weight to the seat bones.

The back of the rocking chair will support some of the weight of the occupant, reducing the weight on other parts of the body. In general, backrests come in three heights: Lower back backrests support only the lumbar region. Shoulder height backrests support the entire back and shoulders. Reclining chairs typically have at least shoulder height backrests to shift weight to the shoulders instead of just the lower back.
