When I sit in my office or desk chair, should my feet be flat on the floor?
Yes, ideally. Having your feet flat on the floor is a key rule for good sitting posture. It helps distribute your weight evenly, supports your lower back, and improves circulation. If your feet dangle, use a footrest or adjust your chair height.
Ideal Sitting Posture
- Flat Feet: Place your feet flat on the floor or a footrest, not just on your toes.
- Knee Angle: Keep your knees bent at about a 90-degree angle.
- Hip Height: Your hips should be level with or a bit higher than your knees.
- Thigh Position: Your thighs should be parallel to the floor.
