24-hour chairs for top performance in control rooms and shift work

When concentration never takes a break. Every second counts in a control room. A sore back or an uncomfortable seat must not become a distraction. Our 24-hour series was developed to take the strain off the body so the mind stays free for what matters most.

To give you a better understanding of the features and value of 24-hour chairs, we take a closer look at our two best-selling models below:

A 24-hour chair is not an ordinary office chair – it is a technical work tool designed for top performance under extreme conditions. While a standard office chair is intended for a 40-hour working week, our models deliver 168 hours of work per week in a control centre or control room.

A year has 8,760 hours. In 24/7 operation, a chair is exposed to this almost continuously.

• Mechanism: Where simple springs in standard chairs tire under continuous load, reinforced heavy-duty mechanisms work inside our 24-HOURS models. They are designed to withstand constant sitting down, getting up and adjustments for years without play or squeaking.
• Upholstery: Conventional foam quickly loses its resilience under constant use – the chair becomes “sagged”. We use only high-density cold-cure foam that provides the same point-elastic support even after the twelfth hour of the night shift as it did at the start.
• Certification to DIN EN 1335: Our models meet the strict requirements of DIN EN 1335 (Part 2-3). For you, this means guaranteed safety in terms of dimensions, strength and stability. While standard chairs often only meet this standard for an 8-hour working day, our 24-hour models are built so robustly that they comfortably meet the ergonomic requirements of the DIN standard even in demanding multi-shift operation.

The purchase price is only the tip of the iceberg. What seems like a bargain in the 24-hour segment often turns out to be a cost trap:

• Designed for heavy use: While conventional office chairs are often not designed for continuous use in multi-shift operation, our 24-hour models are specifically engineered for intensive use.
• Maintenance instead of replacement: Quality also means repairability. Whether castors, gas lifts or armrests – our chairs are modular in design. In the long run, this saves you the cost of complete replacements.

A certified 24-hour chair is far more than a comfortable seat - it is an active tool for protecting health in multi-shift operations. Static strain in 24/7 use has been proven to reduce cognitive performance (Hedge, 2016). The combination of dimensionally stable multi-zone upholstery and high-quality mechanics provides optimal support for the spine in every position, while "dynamic sitting" promotes circulation and helps prevent premature fatigue. Specially developed features such as the integrated lumbar support and optional neck supports provide targeted relief for the back and neck muscles, measurably reducing the risk of musculoskeletal disorders and tension headaches. For employees, this means a noticeable preservation of concentration right through to the end of the shift; for employers, it is an investment in the team's vitality and in reducing sickness-related downtime (Giauque et. al, 2019).

Behind every high-performing control room or production facility lies well-planned ergonomics. We do not simply supply seating furniture, but carefully designed concepts for workplaces that never sleep. As a specialist in heavy-duty seating, we know that individual advice is the key to long-term success.

Why you should rely on our expertise:

• Needs analysis: We understand the specific requirements of your control room and recommend the model that matches your spatial conditions and user profiles.
• Fast availability: Downtime is not an option in 24/7 operations. Thanks to our logistics network, our best-selling models are available for immediate delivery.
• After-sales support & service: We are still by your side after your purchase – from ergonomic training for your team through to a fast spare parts service.

Let us work together to ensure that your team remains physically relieved even during the most critical phase of the shift. Rely on certified quality that pays for itself in a short time.
