Why Bodyfurn®
96% of students are curently sitting at desks and chairs that are mis-matched to their body sizes.
That is a real statistic that Bodyfurn advisors see every day when visiting schools.
Why Bodyfurn? Bodyfurn promotes ergonomics and therefore comfort in the classroom, indeed in any environment. The simple fact is, when a person is comfortable they can concentrate for longer periods. That can effect schools in a variety of positive ways. What would you give for an extra 30 minutes of focused time per day from each of your students or 100 extra hours per year? Comfortable furniture delivers that for you.
When they are sitting in correctly fitted ergonomic furniture they are also healthy. Here's another statistic.
28 - 50% of adolescents report musculoskeletal disorders and low back pain.
Are the students in your life sitting on furniture that benefits their health? The reported disorders linked to childhood postural issues stay with us throughout life.
But school furniture has to be tough, and Bodyfurn is certainly tough. Bodyfurn furniture is guaranteed for 10 years and is used in some of the world toughest environments. At times school furniture comes up against a determined opponent and Bodyfurn chairs have lost battles for sure - with bunsen burners amongst other things! Bodyfurn chair components can be easily changed by property managers or janitors meaning whole chairs do not have to be transported.
Bodyfurn furniture has been sold into over 1000 schools across the globe and the results speak for themselves - it works - Students are more comfortable, classrooms are quieter, teachers benefit, students benefit, schools benefit.
