Alexis

Smart, Classic, Comfortable. This Alexis chair design was the result of many hours of research by corporate ergonomists along with health and safety individuals from what was then Hughes Aircraft.

Ergonomics

Why?

Most chairs in the market are simply designed poorly. Improper concave back shapes giving no thoracic support, very little or too much lumbar support, seat pans that do not adjust, and hard seat cushion foam that quickly causes burning sensations.

PHYSIOLOGICAL CHANGES WHILE SEATED

  • Ischial brusae thicken to provide a cushion below the bone and very importantly as a result of the tissue
    damage caused by shear force, prostaglandin E2 is released, first locally and then systematically.
  • This is a chemical which contributes to depression, fatigue and sluggish reflexes.
  • Since pressure inhibits blood flow, the tissue immediately around the blood vessels thickens to help
    keep them open.
  • Lactic acid concentrates in the muscles (no oxygen).
  • Water builds up in the subcutaneous tissues (under the skin).

Over a decade ago ECD perfected a new seat cushion comprised of soft “Memory Foam” and a high density foam core. This combination gives our Quest, Vive’ and Trudeau series the most comfortable “sit” while stabilizing the pelvic girdle. Our Convex thoracic foam correctly positions the users head over their shoulders and hips.

THORACIC SUPPORT

ECD’s Quest, Vive’ and Trudeau series are standard with thoracic back foam as well as memory foam seats. Thoracic foam is now optional on ECD’s other series. It fits between the user’s shoulder blades and supports the mid to upper back properly.
