For the sake of your back

Leading through research

The GRAMMER driver seats

How should a seat be designed to be comfortable and ergonomically correct at the same time?

To answer this question, we work very intensively with leading
We work closely with institutes, doctors, and scientists in the field of ergonomics and biomechanics. Research is the foundation for ensuring the best possible seating comfort for drivers of various vehicles.

Spinal research, in particular, is a key area that ensures that GRAMMER seats are developed at the highest level. With the annual GRAMMER European Spine Journal Award, the world's most highly endowed award in spinal research, GRAMMER AG annually recognizes outstanding achievements in basic and applied science.

Sitting correctly is a matter of attitude

Four steps to a correctly adjusted seat

Adjust seat height and seat length
Adjust so that the pedals and steering wheel are within easy reach. The knee angle should be approximately 110°–120°.

Adjust seat cushion angle and seat cushion depth
Choose a three-finger-wide gap between the back of the knee and the edge of the seat cushion with the seat cushion sloping slightly backwards.

Adjustable backrest inclination
Position yourself so that you achieve a slightly reclined, relaxed posture. The hip angle should be approximately 100°–115°.

Adjust lumbar support
The natural shape of the spine should be supported. The height and curvature
Adjust the lumbar support until you feel comfortable sitting.
