Whether you’re working from home currently, or engaged in distance learning perhaps, getting one of the best office chairs is a must. The desk chair is often an overlooked and underrated part of any office, more so than the computer setup or indeed any other equipment, so don’t underestimate its importance.
Sure, cool new PCs, tablets, smartphones, and monitors are sexier and more fun to shop for. And you might think that ratty old chair you have is good enough.
In fact, you might also think the top office chairs are going to break the bank and getting one is just not worth it. But upgrading is not only more affordable than you might imagine, but more important, too. Back problems are more prevalent than ever and all the sitting we do, while working or playing, is only contributing to these issues.
So go get something with some good support. You’ll not only minimize potential back issues but work (or play) sessions will be more comfortable for longer. And you’ll also likely have a nicer addition to your work or study area.
To help, we’ve gathered some of the best office chairs including at different budgets and with some different capabilities, like more ergonomic features - such as proper lumbar support, adjustable armrests, and so on - for people worried about their posture, so they can find the best seat for their individual needs.
Note: While we wouldn’t normally highlight deals in this roundup, demand is still running quite high for some of the top chairs in the wake of coronavirus driving much more working from home (and with a model of hybrid working still likely to continue for many, at least in some areas). Given that, we’ve found a couple of alternatives which represent great deals and are worth considering if you can’t find the model you want in our full guide below.
Ergonomic Adjustable Office Chair:
This ergonomic chair has a breathable mesh back and gives you a number of adjustments, including the ability to tilt the chair (with the armrests being linked). Indeed, you can tilt back to almost horizontal, with a footrest that can extend to let you lie in a snoozing position (temporarily, of course!). With features only normally found in pricier chairs, like a proper lumbar support, this is a great buy with a chunk knocked off the asking price.
Hbada Office Chair:
This office chair comes with an unusual touch – the armrests can be flipped up when you don’t need them (which means the chair can easily be slid under a desk when not in use). The Hbada also has an ergonomic mesh back, but note that according to the feedback on Amazon, it’s not suitable for anyone over 6-foot tall. There’s currently $10 off the asking price, but Amazon regularly knocks a bit more off than that, so it’s worth keeping your eye on.
