Automotive ergonomics designed to ensure your comfort and safety.

Proper Driving Posture Graphic

Recent discussions have highlighted the significance of ergonomics in the workplace, particularly concerning desk seating. However, an often-overlooked aspect is the ergonomics of the driver’s seat. On average, an American spends nearly 300 hours annually driving. Unlike the relatively stable environment of a desk, driving involves continuous jolts and vibrations from the road, which can adversely affect your body over time.

A well-adjusted seat not only enhances comfort but also increases safety in the event of an accident. Conversely, an improperly adjusted seat may result in whiplash or hinder the proper deployment of airbags. The adjustment of a driver’s seat can significantly influence the quality of your driving experience, transforming it from uncomfortable and painful to safe and pleasant. Even if you believe your seat is correctly positioned, it may be beneficial to reassess its settings. Factors such as the angle of the headrest and the tilt of the seat base can greatly impact both comfort and safety. For further guidance on how to adjust your driver’s seat ergonomically, please refer to this informative infographic.
