I'm looking for resources - ideally books/papers - on the ergonomics of furniture design.

I'm looking for resources - ideally books/papers - on the ergonomics of furniture design.

I'm specifically interested in the squishy stuff. Sofas, couches, beds, that kind of thing, not desk chairs, which seem to be well-studied.

I can't find much, any pointers would be very welcome. Thanks!

@jarkman perhaps having a lok at some anatomy info would work, optimal spine position and whatnot, apparently sitting too far back can curve ones spine eventually

@adamarmfield Ta, even the office-chair literature has conflicting opinions on that.

[adamarmfield@mastodon.green]

@jarkman how about NHS online or some workplace safety site, HSE etc

[peter_sewell_@types.pl]

@jarkman a fair bit of experimental testing in shops suggests that that subject is wide open...

@jarkman if my search for a comfortable sofa for a tall person is anything to go by, this is somewhat lacking.

[jarkman@chaos.social]

@garthy There could be a reason why I'm not finding much.

[garthy@social.linux.pizza]

@jarkman have you asked Drew?

[jarkman@chaos.social]

@garthy That's where I started...
