Ergonomic to the core
Ergonomics is about ‘fitting the environment to the human
form’. Ergonomic seating has become critical today because
the average office worker spends up to 80% of their time
seated in a chair. The word ‘ergonomic’ is derived from the
Greek word “ergon” (work) and “nomos” (laws) to denote the
science to work, ergonomics is the study of adjusting the
environment to suit people; especially the science that seeks
to adapt the working conditions of the individual.
To assist in being our most productive and creative GCF
focuses our resources on adapting the work environment to
the human form.
We have recently been awarded an exclusive contract to
provide all furniture to the District Health Boards throughout
NZ and we are a panel member for the Queensland SOA
No GQCPO 800-09 Part A & B Government Contract for the
supply of fixed height and adjustable seating

Tri-Tek
MyChair
“MyChair” program enables you
to build your own chair to suit
your specific needs. Select the
back to suit your back shape,
select the seat technology
to provide you with ultimate
comfort and correct posture then
choose base, arm and accessory
options to build “MyChair”.
Gregory’s latest seat technology
Why it works:
Features:
Tri-Tek reduces pressure under the thigh by centralising the weight to under the
ischial tuberosities (sitting bones) where there is less tissue and arteries.
The tear drop shape internal foam cores placed under the ischial tuberosities are
contoured internally to ’flex’ which balances the weight of the user promoting a
healthy ‘S’ curve in the spine.
The unique contouring of the seat and waterfall front acts as a forward seat tilt. This
assists to open the pelvis and balance your head, spine and pelvis and promote a
healthy ‘S’ curve in the spine.
Anti-bacterial moulded foam
Options:
3 lever mechanism
AFRDI level 6 certified *
GECA certified *
Ratchet back height adjustable
Small, standard or large seat *
With or without arms
Heavy duty kit *
Glides
Brake castors
Soft tyre castors
Aluminium base
Seat slider
Drafting
X-Cel Comfort
A unique seating experience which allows
consistent weight distribution
Why it works:
Evens out weight distribution through the individually placed
pocket springs, thereby maintaining correct seating posture.
Reduces seat temperature with a well circulated air flow under the seat.
Designed by world renowned innerspring manufacturer (as used in mattresses).

The pelvis gently ‘sinks’ into the seat and is supported
in the softer section at the back of the chair.
The firmer foam at the front prevents the pelvis from sliding forward.
The spine is maintained in the healthy, upright ‘S’ curve of good posture.
A shaped ‘waterfall’ front edge improves circulation behind the thighs.

Gregory Seat
Technology
In sitting the optimum pressure occurs when
body weight is distributed as 65% to the
chair seat, 4% to the backrest, 12% to the
armrests, and 18% to the supported feet.

X-Cel Comfort
Unique comfort through individual pocket springs that follow the natural
contours of your body.
Pressure points inhibit flood circulation which can cause discomfort. X-Cel
Comfort Seat Technology provides you with a well supported seat cushion which
prevents ‘bottoming out’.
X-Cel Comfort Seat Technology can be fitted to the MyChair range of task chairs.
Gregory use a moulded foam contoured seat in X-Cel Comfort which has an antibacteriaside to prevent bacteria spreading.
Why it works:
Evens out weight distribution through the individually placed
pocket springs, thereby maintaining correct seating posture.
Reduces seat temperature with a well circulated air flow under the seat.
Designed by world renowned innerspring
manufacturer (as used in mattresses).
tandard Deluxe
Standard Deluxe
Gregory’s Deluxe Seat uses moulded foam with anti-bacteriaside in it to prevent
the spread of infection in the seat foam. The contour of the seat is dished to form
to the shape of the user with a waterfall at the front which alleviates pressure at
the front of the thigh.
GCF offer an office assessment program where we can work with each
staff member to setup their workstation correctly. Our staff will visit your
office and discuss your options which may include utilising one of our
qualified consultants.
This is how some sit
When you move the springs respond and move with you. Each spring will adjust
to the weight applied allowing even weight distribution.

ErgoFit™
What is ErgoFit™?
ErgoFit™ is a method of determining the right chair for each individual in an organisation. Contact
one of our team to have a ErgoFit™ assessment conducted.
How does ErgoFit™ work?
ErgoFit™ is a simple questionnaire format which determines key ergonomic issues and personal
preferences and needs.
ErgoFit™ provides a simple diagnostic outcome, which suggests a chair configuration
which would be well suited to the individual.
Facts:
Professor Cunniffe* states “When sat correctly, the distribution of body weight is 65% seat,
4% backrest, 12% armrest and 18% supported feet. Good seating design accommodates
the problem of sitting pressure by ensuring its controlled distribution. This is achieved by
contouring the body contact areas of the chair. Of equal importance are chair size, range
of adjustment and level of upholstery. These features also contribute to good user posture.”
