My experience: This mesh office chair looks as good as it feels. Using synchronous tilt and adjustable lumbar support, it elicits an ahhhhh every time I sit down. The standard-size chair has a slim back that keeps it from being bulky and still provides ergonomic support. The mesh weave is breathable, and the seat cushion is made of high-density foam for a comfortable experience, even over long periods of time. The chair also has seven adjustment options, including seat pan depth, lumbar, and tilt, so it’s easy to find the right angle. The chair is also a good value for the money.

What we really liked:

• Supportive and comfortable: Breathable mesh back and comfy seat cushion
• All parts can be adjusted to find just the right seat height, depth, and tilt level
• Plenty of color choices

What you should keep in mind:

• The headrest is a separate purchase

• seat height and depth adjustable ✔

My experience: There’s already a Branch chair on the list; however, the Branch Verve Chair is a newer and sportier model. As a general practice, the armrests on ergonomic office chairs tend to be bulky, and the Branch Verve Chair immediately stands out because of the versatile armrest design, which gives it a futuristic look. I can also adjust the height of the softly-padded armrests, the seat depth, the tilt, and the tilt tension. Plus I can adjust the padded lumbar support on the chair’s V-shaped suspended back for the most comfortable level of spine support. (If you struggle to find a chair that fits you just right, you’ll love all of these customization options.) The chair back is covered with 3D knit, which allows air to flow through it and keeps me cool. The Branch Verse is available in Coral, Galaxy, and Mist.

What we really liked:

• Sitting for long periods of time is easy thanks to the v-shaped chair design provides extra lumbar support
• 3D knit back is breathable and supports posture
• Sporty look and several color choices

What you should keep in mind:

• No headrest

Tester: Livia Caligor, content operations associate

Dimensions: 40.75"H x 23"W x 24"D

Materials: Metal, faux leather

Weight Capacity: 250 lbs.

Frame colors: Gold, chrome, black, and rose gold

Seat colors: Black, white, brown, and gray

Warranty: 2 years

Adjustability:

• adjustable height ✔

My experience: Though this chair is pretty simple in design, I had a hard time assembling it because the manual didn’t have any written instructions—just step-by-step visual instructions. I was able to eventually figure it out without making any mistakes, so I don’t think the $85 assembly fee would have been worth it, especially since that’s almost half the cost of the chair.

The chair immediately fit perfectly into my room. I like that it’s ergonomic, functional, and supportive yet not too bulky or large like many desk chairs tend to be. I like that this chair is simple, sleek, and monochrome with its black metal frame and black faux leather upholstery. Its square seat, light frame, and minimalist design make it cohesive with the rest of my room, unlike many desk chairs I’ve used that were clunky and lacked aesthetic appeal.

To me, this chair walks a fine line between decorative desk chair and a functional desk chair intended for daily use. Its contoured back, foam filling seat, and padded armrests offer lumbar support and comfort, but after sitting in it for a few long hours, it feels a bit rigid and hard.

What we really liked:

• The durable, soft, and high-quality faux leather looks real while still being animal-friendly
• I appreciate how lightweight and simple the chair is—it’s hassle-free and overall easy to assemble without detailed instructions
• The 360-degree swivel that I can reach all around my room without getting up (it’s also just fun to twirl around sometimes, but maybe that’s just me)

What you should keep in mind:

• The back support feels thin and compromised, so if I were working from home full time or wanted to invest in a more comfortable chair, I’d probably choose one with more intentional lumbar support
• The seat could also use a bit more cushioning, it feels more like a dining chair after sitting it for many hours
• Though the chair is simple enough to assemble without detailed instructions, I would’ve preferred having a written manual instead of just visuals

Pipersong Meditation Chair

Tester: Elise Portale, contributor

Dimensions: 30.71"H x 27.56"W x 30.71"D

Materials: Alloy steel, leather

Weight Capacity: 200 lbs.

Frame colors: Black, grey, ivory, pink, tan

Seat colors: Black, grey, ivory, pink, tan

Warranty: One-year limited warranty onmanufacturing defects from the date of delivery

Adjustability:

• adjustable height ✔
• fully moveable footstool with brakes ✔

My experience:

If anything was designed to go viral on TikTok, it’s the Pipersong Meditation Chair, and from the moment this bisexual saw it she needed to try it for herself. Whether you’re a creative sitter or just someone who tends to fidget, having the option to change your position to pretty much anything that feels comfortable is a game changer. Truthfully, the only downside is its size—if you’re looking to bring this chair into your office, take accurate measurements. It’s not a small chair by any means, and if you have a compact desk or sitting area, you’ll likely find that the wide-swiveling footstool is a bit of a challenge. But assuming you’ve done your due diligence, the Pipersong Meditation Chair is an excellent comfort option for WFH, whether you’re bisexual or not. (Read Elise’s full review of the Pipersong chair here).

What we really liked:

• Versatility: You can sit forward, backward, sideways, or whichever other way you want
• High-density foam padding for maximum comfort
• Incredibly sturdy and smooth casters
• Easy to assemble

What you should keep in mind:

• Size—might not be suitable for smaller spaces

Tester: Audrey Lee, commerce editor

Dimensions: 37⅞"H x 29⅞"W x 29⅞"D

Materials: Powder-coated aluminum, dual-density foam, stow leather upholstery

Weight Capacity: 350 lbs.

Colors: Raven (black), jettison (blue), Etruscan (coral), clarion (yellow), submerge (teal), knight (dark gray), bulb (light gray), and antler (medium gray)

Warranty: 12 years

Adjustability:

• adjustable height ✔

My experience: Designed by Tokyo-based designer Naoto f*ckasawa (whose credentials include B&B Italia, Boffi, Issey Miyake, and Samsung), the Asari chair brings together comfort, functionality, and style. Glamorous but understated, this office chair exudes quiet luxury. Focusing on the design, the subtle curves and soft edges make the chair’s clam shell inspiration apparent. The backrest naturally tilts out slightly so it doesn’t feel like your back is against a board and the stow leather is a luxurious touch to an already luxurious seat.

There’s no assembly required, so as soon as you adjust the height lever to your preference it’s good to go. With a high price tag comes high expectations, but the Asari chair has elevated what a traditional office chair can be. I really appreciated the attention to detail, from the smooth chair glides and soft leather to the amount of foam fill in the seat and backrest that make it a treat to sit down and work. And after working from home on the chair for several weeks, it’s gotten even better. The chair has noticeably softened in a delightful way that’s ultra-accommodating to my dimensions without feeling too sunken in or too stiff. I find a lot of leather office chairs are harsh or overly masculine, but the Asari’s look is unparalleled. I’d absolutely recommend this chair to anyone looking to splurge for their home office. From physical appearance to practical use, it scores 10s across the board for me.

What we really liked:

• Major points for how customizable the design is—available in leather and cloth as well as eight different colors
• Super supportive—I got the mid back but I imagine having the full back with a headrest is even more luxurious
• Smooth delivery and no set up

What you should keep in mind:

• Though not an issue for me, the armrests aren’t adjustable
• More of a buyer beware note—I imagine it’d be on the harder side to get stains out of this leather, so I’m extra careful if I’m eating at my desk

Tester: Audrey Lee, commerce editor

Dimensions: 39.1–43.5"H x 26.1"W x 26.1"D

Materials: Plastic frame and legs, textile mesh seat and back

Weight Capacity: 350 lbs.

Colors: Peaco*ck (teal and white), seagull (beige and matte brass), black intermix, red/blue intermix, and Baltic intermix

Warranty: 12 years

Adjustability:

• adjustable height ✔
• adjustable armrests ✔

My experience: The first time you sit on the Karman chair you can feel your weight settle in—it’s a little like floating on air. Assembly was quick and easy, all I needed to do was fit the chair onto the wheeled base and adjust the height and armrests to my preferences. This chair is the definition of ergonomic—the mesh weave back rest melds comfortably against the spine without feeling unsteady and the overall design feels extremely durable.

The same mesh weave technology is used for the seat—sitting on it, with the underlying cushion, is comfortable, if slightly hard. The armrest pads slide back and forth and can pivot to make adjustments inwards or outwards, plus the armrest height is adjustable with a button located on the underside. Height adjustments are easy with a lever under the seat and there’s even a knob for making back tension adjustments. All this to say, everything is very intuitive and easy to use. After several full workdays of using this chair, I felt noticeable relief in places where I usually get aches on my back and hips. After a few weeks, most of my aches were basically gone.

What we really liked:

• The breathable mesh material feels comfortable whether I’m wearing pants or shorts
• Easy setup and straightforward instructions
• Very easy to get comfortable—a great option for those prone to back pain or find it uncomfortable to sit for long stretches of time

What you should keep in mind:

• I wish the seat was just a touch softer
• The back tension function could use some fine-tuning—the setting where you can’t lean back in the chair and the next one, where you can, feels like a jump, so an in between would be nice in my opinion.
• Not an issue I had personally, but it would be great to have more armrests’ lateral movement for wider body types

Tester: Zoë Sessums, senior digital design editor

Dimensions: 38½"H x 25¾"W x 16"D

Materials: Aluminum frame and base; 8Z pellicle elastomeric suspension seat and backrest

Weight Capacity: 300–350 lbs. (depending on model size)

Base colors: Satin aluminum, polished aluminum, and onyx ultra matte

Frame colors: Graphite, mineral, and black

Warranty: 12 years

Adjustability:

• adjustable height ✔
• adjustable armrests ✔
• adjustable seat ✔

My experience: There is a reason the Aeron is Herman Miller’s most beloved and recognized office chair. The iconic chair is truly supportive and gives you every bit of adjustment to sit in an ideal way. I was able to go through a virtual fitting with an ergonomic expert at Herman Miller, who walked me through all the adjustable features, though the site’s gallery is very informative if you can’t try out a chair first. Once the chair was delivered—no assembly required—I understood the power of the patented PostureFit SL back support, which allows for chest open, shoulders back, and pelvis tilted slightly forward. This chair will save your body. After sitting in this chair it’s easy to see why people invest in supreme desk setups. It isn’t necessarily the most chic piece of furniture, but your entire body will thank you, so in that case I would recommend the Aeron chair again and again.

What we really liked:

• So many adjustable elements for a perfect fit
• Ease of setup
• Reliability

What you should keep in mind:

• Aesthetics

Tester: Lila Allen, AD Pro senior editor

Dimensions: 34⅞"H 24¼"W 19⅛"D

Materials: Polymer shell, optional 3D-knit fabric made from 50% recycled fibers

Weight Capacity: 350 lbs.

Shell colors: Alpine, black, carbon, cocoa, glacier, olive, and nightfall

Seat colors: Alpine, black, carbon, cocoa, glacier, olive, nightfall, tea rose, mustard seed, and blaze

Warranty: 12 years

Adjustability:

• adjustable height ✔

My experience: If you gave a shell chair superpowers, it might look something like the Zeph. Like other Herman Miller office chairs, this seat has a wheeled base and is height-adjustable. (The adjustment lever is super sleek, too—a fun detail for the design nerds among us.) If you scooch or lean while you work, the Zeph will move right along with you. I tested a version with integrated arms, but an armless version is also available. And best of all, there are plenty of ways to make the chair fit your style: In addition to eight different body color options, Herman Miller offers a 3D-knit, slip-on seat pad in 20 shades. (A unibody cover is on the way, too.) A fraction the price of an Aeron, Zeph is the gateway drug of performance seating.

What we really liked:

• Sleek appearance that can be changed up by swapping in a different seat pad
• Well-designed details, like handle hardware
• Very comfortable!
• 12-year warranty

What you should keep in mind:

• The cover was a bit hard to pop on and off
• No high-back option—which was fine for me, but may not work for some others
• Arm rests are not adjustable

Note: Formerly called the Flexispot Soutien

Tester: Terri Williams, contributor

Dimensions: 51.9"H x 25.2"W x 21.2"D

Materials: Mesh, nylon, metal

Weight Capacity: 220 lbs.

Colors: Gray, blue, and black

Warranty: 1 year

Adjustability:

• adjustable height ✔
• adjustable backrest ✔
• adjustable arms ✔

My experience: If you want a good office chair at an economical price, the Flexispot OC3B Chair is the best of both worlds. The entire chair (back, seat, headrest) is made of breathable mesh, which contributes to air circulation. Although my preference is a leather chair, I found the Flexispot to be quite comfortable, even when sitting for a long time. Also, since it’s a see-through mesh, the chair doesn’t take up a lot of visual space. The chair can tilt up to 45 degrees, and the height of the seat and armrests can also be adjusted. There’s also a nifty clothes hanger on the back of the chair.

What we really liked:

• Budget-friendly
• Mesh throughout, which makes it a breathable chair that won’t trap heat
• Several adjustment points and even includes a clothes hanger on the back to keep a jacket or throw blanket close by

What you should keep in mind:

• Lower weight limit than many other chairs

Tester: Terri Williams, contributor

Dimensions: 46–50"H x 29"W x 29"D

Materials: Polyester fabric with molded foam and nylon plastic

Weight Capacity: 300 lbs.

Colors: All black, black and white, evergreen, red apple, and baby blue

Warranty: 2 years

Adjustability:

• adjustable height ✔
• adjustable armrests ✔
• adjustable headrest ✔
• adjustable seat ✔
• back tilt ✔

My experience: The ErgoChairPro is such a comfortable office chair that I think I could fall asleep in it. My favorite feature is the synchro-tilt that allows me to tilt way back (up to 22 degrees) when I’m taking a break—and I can even lock in my five favorite recline positions, so the chair can remember them. The adjustable headrest is also a nice touch when reclining or just leaning back. The chair has a weight capacity of 300 pounds, and almost everything on it is adjustable. In addition to the back tilt tension, I can also adjust the seat tilt. Plus the chair’s height can adjust from 18 to 20 inches, and the seat’s depth can be adjusted as well. I can adjust the height of the armrest from 26.7 inches to 32.2 inches, and can also move the armrests in and out (there’s the option to take them completely off as well). The ErgoChair Pro is made of polyester fabric, molded foam, and has a nylon plastic frame. Seen here in a bright blue, it’s also available in apple red and lime green, as well as tried-and-true classics like black, white, and gray.

What we really liked:

• Keeps posture correct, even when reclining; adjustable headrest cushions the head and neck
• Supportive lumbar cushion and breathable woven mesh
• Several color choices

What you should keep in mind:

• Plastic parts look rather cheap

Tester: Terri Williams, contributor

Dimensions: 48.2–53"H x 26.75"W x 17.40–19.85"D

Materials: Corvara leather, technogel cushions, polished aluminum

Weight Capacity: 400 lbs.

Colors: Black, graphite, balsam, driftwood, navy, nimbus, and granite

Warranty: 15 years

Adjustability:

• adjustable height ✔
• adjustable armrests ✔
• adjustable headrest ✔
• adjustable seat ✔

My experience: Out of all the office chairs I've tested, this is my favorite. I would wholeheartedly and enthusiastically recommend it. What makes this chair so unique is that it automatically adjusts to fit my body without the need for manual controls. For example, the chair's armrests and articulating headrest move when I move. The chair also has a self-adjusting recline and pivoting backrest, in addition to synchronous armrests that I can pull up when I want to use them and merely push down when they’re not needed. Honestly, the high-back chair is comfortable enough to sleep in—it's so comfortable that it probably causes me to work too long. In addition, the chair is fully assembled, so there’s nothing that needs to be put together.It’s available in eight fabric choices, including black, gray, pumpkin, red, navy, Balsam green, and Thalo blue (pictured).

What we really liked:

• Luxurious leather
• Automatically pivoting backrest and armrest
• Contoured cushions with waterfall edge

What you should keep in mind:

• It’s pretty expensive

Tester: Terri Williams, contributor

Dimensions: 38.6–43.2"H x 25.5"W x 20"D

Materials: Mesh, foam, metal

Weight Capacity: 300 lbs.

Colors: Black

Warranty: 5 years

Adjustability:

• adjustable height ✔
• adjustable armrests ✔
• adjustable back ✔
• adjustable headrest ✔
• adjustable seat ✔
• adjustable tilt ✔

My experience: I would recommend the Vari Task Chair for anyone looking for a comfortable office chair. Vari's entire lineup is full of outstanding office chairs (and some of the best standing desks), and this chair continues the tradition. This chair is ridiculously comfortable—it has a super thick foam seat and highly breathable back with great airflow. The backrest provides lumbar support and pivots. I like that I can also create the maximum level of comfort: It’s got an adjustable tilt mechanism, plus adjustable armrests and adjustable seat height—and all of this adjustability and customization really makes a difference when you’re sitting at your workspace for long periods of time. Pair this chair with good posture and you’ll be golden.

What we really liked:

• Thick seat cushion for maximum comfort
• Pivoting ergonomic backrest
• Multiple adjustments points

What you should keep in mind:

• Headrest model is more expensive

Laura Soho Pro Soft Pad Management Chair

Tester: Nick Mafi, senior digital features editor

Dimensions: 25"H x 19"W x 17"D

Materials: Steel and vegan leather

Weight Capacity: 400 lbs.

Adjustability:

• adjustable height ✔

My experience: After the order for my Soho Pro Soft Pad Management Chair was placed, it only took a few days for the delivery to arrive at my apartment. After unboxing it, I was pleasantly surprised by the ease in which the chair was put together (so much so that I thought I must’ve been doing something wrong). What’s more, after putting it together (it literally took five minutes and most of that was due to removing the protective wrapping paper), the chair itself proved to be as stylish as advertised on my computer screen. The lumbar support and material feel are the two most defining features of this chair, both of which go a long way in terms of comfort after several hours behind a laptop. Simply put, this chair is everything that ends in an exclamation point.

What we really liked:

• Sleek look
• The lumbar support in the back
• The wheels move easily and the chair feels sturdy

What you should keep in mind:

• The chair sometimes gets stuck in the locked position without warning, meaning you don’t realize when it’s locked—you try to lean back but can’t move

Article Svelti Office Chair

Tester: Alice Roth, AD senior video director

Dimensions: 35.5"H x 24"W x 24"D

Materials: Molded polypropylene, powder-coated metal, rubber castors

Weight Capacity: 225 lbs.

Adjustability: Not adjustable

My experience: Assembly-wise, it was simple after some initial head-scratching with the instructions. I did Google “Svelti chair casters” but realized I needed to use my meager upper body strength to push the wheels into the chair legs. Everything else was straightforward, so I’m assuming this assembly blip was more of a me-problem than an Article-problem. (None of the reviews mention assembly confusion.)

The easy-to-clean polypropylene is very nice for someone who is prone to spills. Ergonomics are the main feature this chair is lacking. There is no adjustable seat height, which is essential for a desk setup with proper posture. (According to OSHA, you want your feet flat on the floor and your elbows bent at 90 degrees.) If I was to change anything, I would include an adjustable seat.

There’s also no cushion. I’m not sure this makes a difference, except on very hot days when I find myself peeling my legs off the chair (the answer for this could just be wearing pants during the workday, like an adult). I should note, Article sells a seat cushion separately, but it is about the same price as the chair itself.

What we really liked:

• The minimalist aesthetic
• The easy-to-clean material
• The lack of armrests (stows easily)

What you should keep in mind:

• Limited seat adjustability
• Clearer assembly instructions
• Lack of ergonomics and no lumbar support = not a great option for perpetual WFH

Tester: India Roby, contributor

Dimensions: 46.5"H x 26.5"W x x 21.5"D

Materials: Polyester, polyester blend, foam, plastic

Weight Capacity: 240 lbs.

Colors: Black

Warranty: 5 years

Adjustability:

• adjustable height ✔
• adjustable armrests ✔
• adjustable headrest ✔
• adjustable seat ✔

My experience: After lugging in the package from outside my door, I found myself lost during the assembly process, especially when it came to the headrest (my most anticipated part of the experience). Though flipping through the pages for roughly an hour, I only received vague instructions that said “See further instructions” with…no further instructions in sight.

With the chair ready for use, my first order of business was to test its adjustable features, something I didn’t have previously. The basic height-adjusting features are found in the seat, armrests, headrest, and back (meaning no automation involved), with the most useful ones being the headrest and armrests. Turns out, I prefer to work leaning back as far as possible, almost like what a comfortable lounge chair would feel like, and what my bed doesn’t do. The X-Chair doesn’t give much leeway to lean back, but it enforces better posture. It’s a win for my back and my medical bill. I’ve tested the X-Chair every day for the past two months and for more than eight hours a day, and, with that said, I can’t complain about the results: Overall, I have an easier time working day-to-day.

However, I can’t confidently recommend the X-Chair, mainly because I can find a chair more suited to my preferences at a lower price point. Though I didn’t find the brand’s features to be as dynamic as stated on the site, the X-Chair does check off the very basics.

What we really liked:

• I enjoyed having the option to adjust parts of the chair to keep my posture supported, with the armrest and headrest being my favorite parts
• Actually having a headrest on an office chair helped give my neck the necessary support

What you should keep in mind:

• I wish the X-Chair had flexible back support. The dynamic feature for the back of the chair doesn’t stay adjusted
• I will never not bring up the price as a main factor in my decision-making. For the price, I wish the chair had automated features that would make it feel worth the splurge
• Clearer instructions are needed, especially for installing the headrest. (This may be more of a quality assurance issue, assuming that other customers received the final step, but I rummaged all throughout the packaging and scoured online for instructions to no avail)

How We Reviewed the Office Chairs and Why You Should Trust Us

Why You Should Trust Us

We always research products thoroughly before including them, and test nearly everything—office chairs are no exception. Our writers and editors actually tested more than 30 chairs, but only 13 made the cut to our best-of list. If we don't love it, we would never recommend it.

Our reviews are always thorough, in-depth, and honest. We put ourselves in the shoes of the shopper (because most of the time, we are the shopping!), and make sure that we’re answering the questions that we would want answered in the buying process.

How We Chose the Chairs

Our priorities in chair selection were ergonomic integrity, style, and (of course) comfort in a variety of price points.

How We Test Our Office Chairs

Our editors and contributors set these up in their home offices and experienced the day-in, day-out reality of sitting in them for a long period of time.

Office Chair FAQs: Let's Hear From The Experts

Have questions about the best office chair for you? We talked to TikTok's favorite neurosurgeon, Betsy Grunch, MD, FAANS, FACS and Gainesville Physical Therapy's Kristy Basinger PT, CHT to get answers on how to source the best chair for you.

What are some of the health risks associated with using a bad desk chair?

Betsy Grunch, MD, FAANS, FACS; Kristy Basinger PT, CHT: A proper fitting desk chair is one of the cornerstones of postural health. People that sit for long hours in a poorly adjusted chair will experience neck, back, shoulder and hip pain. This can trigger headaches, lack of concentration and compression of the discs in the spine. Low back pain is one of the main reasons for missed days at work so it's essential to choose a chair that supports the spine.

If you've been sitting on a bad chair or you feel like you’ve damaged your spinal alignment is there anything you can do to fix it?

BG & KB: You can start by frequently checking and changing your posture in your chair.

1. Align your head: Your chin should not jut forward and your head should be centered over your shoulders.
2. Relax your shoulders and avoid hunching forward: Think about gently pulling your shoulder blades together.
3. Your pelvis should be neutral: Practice this by tucking your tailbone under and then rocking forward. Find the midpoint of this movement.
4. Place your feet flat on the floor and avoid crossing your legs.

What exactly does it mean for a chair to be “ergonomic” and why is it important?

BG & KB: A chair that is coined “ergonomic” should offer firmness that is supportive yet comfortable. It should have multiple components that adjust all aspects of the chair. Adjustments are important because we all have different body types and heights. Utilizing the adjustable components will help to ensure that your spine is in a healthy position to reduce the risk of neck and back strain. But remember—no matter how good your chair is, you need to stand up frequently throughout the day.

What are the most supportive materials when it comes to the optimal desk chair?

BG & KB: Your back rest should be made from breathable material such as mesh. This allows for better circulation of air, decreased perspiration and greater comfort. The seat should have adequate padding that consists of dense foam that provides support with enough comfort.
