Seating and Footrests
To take full advantage of Nova's benefits, you must use an ergonomic chair.
Ergonomic seating adjusts to encourage good postures and to allow a flat wrist position. It encourages movement and provides many other benefits.
Before you make a decision, consult a seating guide.
Footrests
If your feet don't rest comfortably on the floor after adjusting your chair height to achieve a flat wrist position, you need a footrest.
Make sure the footrest is heavy enough to be stable. Both feet should fit on the platform with space between them. Height and angle adjustments allow shorter users to maintain a comfortable thigh angle while keeping their feet flat. Some footrests move. This promotes blood circulation.
