While everyone should get up and move at least once an hour if able, these chairs are designed around longer overall working periods. Their construction helps the lumbar region of the spine in your back and offers neck support as well. To go even further however, the best ergonomic office chairs will support your whole body — adjustable arm rests exist for your arms and shoulders, for example — and will be made of premium materials for maximum comfort.\nHforesty Ergonomic Mesh Office Chair\nBest ergonomic office chair for most people\nJump to details\nHerman Miller Embody\nBest premium ergonomic office chair\nJump to details\nAutoFull C3 Gaming Chair\nBest ergonomic office chair for gamers\nJump to details\nFlexispot C8 Exclusive Ergonomic Chair\nEasiest to adjust\nJump to details\nColamy Big and Tall Office Chair\nBest big and tall ergonomic office chair\nJump to details\nSteelcase Series 1\nBest ergonomic office chair for shared offices\nJump to details\nEzaki High Back Office Chair\nBest ergonomic executive office chair\nJump to details\nNeo Chair High Back\nBest budget ergonomic office chair\nJump to details\nRecommended Videos\nHforesty\nBest ergonomic office chair for most people\nHforesty Ergonomic Mesh Office Chair\nPros\nGreat adjustability\nBreathable back\nGreat for reclining\nCons\nSomewhat expensive\nSomewhat basic\nWhen we think of a nice, cool (as in not warm) office chair, we think of an office chair like this one from Hforesty. It’s got a mesh backing and headrest and has space between the lower back and seat components, both of which promote air circulation and make for perfect office companions even during the hottest months of the year. In other words, the basic chassis of the Hforesty Ergonomic Mesh Office Chair could go toe to toe with that of any standard office chair. While those with fancier tastes may find this chair somewhat on the basic side, for the typical user this is likely the office chair layout you were looking for.\nWhat makes the Hforesty one of the best ergonomic office chairs is its commitment to offering robust, but easy adjustments throughout the chair without becoming prohibitively expensive. For example, the mesh headrest can be adjust in both height and angle, while the curved lumbar support moves with you into an optimal spot as you go through the Hforesty’s 90 to 135 degree tilt range. Next, you’ll find a fully 4D arm rest, meaning it can be adjusted up, down, left, right, forward, backwards, clockwise, and counterclockwise. Finally, as you recline, take advantage of the extendable footrest.\nFull MSRP for this chair sits at over $300. That’s good for a great ergonomic office chair, but might feel expensive if you aren’t using all of the features. In other words, if you’re just looking for an office chair with a bit of extra lumbar support, you might find yourself disappointed. That being said, if you are lucky enough to find the Hforesty amongst the office chair deals of the day, it is a great office chair for anybody that values cool comfort and ergonomic support.\nHforesty Ergonomic Mesh Office Chair\nBest ergonomic office chair for most people\nHerman Miller\nBest premium ergonomic office chair\nHerman Miller Embody\nPros\nDesigned to encourage good posture\n“Pixelated support” for region-by-region care\nIdeal back tilt\nCons\nCostly\nThe creation of Herman Miller’s Bill Stumpf and Jeff Weber, the Herman Miller Embody, is a premium ergonomic office chair best for those looking for superior posture and fine-tuned results. Beyond being made from premium materials, a lot of clever design work goes into the Embody. For example, the back rises to a narrow taper in such a way that allows you full movement (none of that sinking in the chair feel) but also demands are commanding, upright posture when you do relax a little into the chair. Plus, it has a spine-supporting curve your back will die for.\nWhat embodies the Herman Miller Embody, however, is what is seen from behind the chair. It’s what the designers are calling “Pixelated Support” and essentially translates to micro-regional support. Even if you aren’t a squirmer, you move somewhat in your chair as you go about your day. These regional supports are designed to reduce pressure and give you less tension buildup throughout the day.\nHerman Miller Embody\nBest premium ergonomic office chair\nAutoFull\nBest ergonomic office chair for gamers\nAutoFull C3 Gaming Chair\nPros\nGaming chair style, office chair aesthetic\nLumbar waist pillow styled for spine\n155-degree recline\nCons\nArmrests lacking\nIf you work from home and are guilty of using a Twitch stream as your watercooler chatter alternative, you’ve probably gotten a little jealous of streamer’s glorious gaming chairs. Unfortunately, if you have a stuffy boss, using a bright and shiny gaming chair during your next Zoom meeting might give you an unfounded reputation as being unprofessional. The AutoFull C3 is a great compromise, as it retains the racing style of a gaming chair while coming in more muted colors like brown, black, and grey PU leather.\nAs for the AutoFull C3’s ergonomic side, you’ll almost certainly appreciate its adjustable headrest, which follows the pretty standard build for these on gaming chairs. But where the ergonomics really kick in is what AutoFull is calling its “3D Bionic Lumbar Support” that lines the bottom half of the backrest. It’s built for maximum spinal support due to its shape, supporting the lumbar spine as well as the scapular spine and caudal spine. In layman’s terms, the backrest is designed to support the full lower and upper back and is shaped in such a way that each major region of your lower back gets the support it needs. We only wish that the armrests took the same queue, as they’re a little harder than the rest of the chair.\nAutoFull C3 Gaming Chair\nBest ergonomic office chair for gamers\nFlexiSpot\nEasiest to adjust\nFlexispot C8 Exclusive Ergonomic Chair\nPros\nMinimal work get a great fit for you\nStylish modern look\nCons\nBest for medium to small bodies\nTired of fidgeting with supports, adjusting back bracing, and having a troublesome time getting your chair’s height properly adjusted? Flexispot’s C8, to a degree, takes care of most of that for you and makes the rest easy, all while being made of a premium, comfortable mesh. The back, which provides some curve for spinal comfort, is lined with PU soft plastic. This PU plastic adjusts based on your body’s weight (and, presumably, the pressure you put into the back of the chair with your sitting style) automatically. Do note, however, that this mechanism will work best for people with medium to small sized bodies, as one of the few complaints we see about the C8 are that it isn’t quite as comfortable for heavier people. A better ergonomic office chair for the big and tall can be found below.\nOther adjustments that make Flexispot’s C8 comfortable are easy to adjust, such as the movable headrest and 3D armrests. The seat is adjustable, but can also automatically adjust based on your needs. As a result, this is a largely hassle-free ergonomic office chair that can take care of your comfort while your focus on the task at hand.\nFlexispot C8 Exclusive Ergonomic Chair\nEasiest to adjust\nColamy\nBest big and tall ergonomic office chair\nColamy Big and Tall Office Chair\nPros\nSupports most bodies\nSofa-like seating\nDesigned specifically for larger bodies\nCons\nThough comfortable, cannot adjust armrests\nIf you’re a large individual, you may have encountered office chairs that won’t support you. This frustrating issue can go away with chairs like this one from Colamy, specifically made with issues that affect you in mind. It is designed with heavy-duty materials that will stay structurally sound during use. Additionally, the cushions are thick for long lasting fluff that will stay soft and keep you comfortable during long days.\nWhile you cannot tell from looking at the chair, the Colamy’s headrest is height adjustable, giving you seamless support at any height. Likewise, the lumbar support is controlled by an internal airbag. Adjusting the internal mechanism adds or releases pressure on the lumbar region, giving you ergonomic lumbar support that makes sense for your body. When sitting in the chair and resting your arms on the armrests, you’ll find that they are very comfort and use a higher quality of materials than other office chairs, but are not adjustable.\nColamy Big and Tall Office Chair\nBest big and tall ergonomic office chair\nSteelcase\nBest ergonomic office chair for shared offices\nSteelcase Series 1\nPros\nSits comfortably for most people\nResponsive ergonomics\nHighly customizable\nCons\nHeadrest costs extra\nSteelcase’s philosophy when it comes to chairs is that they should support everybody from the 5% to the 95%. Whether you are five-foot tall or six-foot-one, a Steelcase Series 1 chair will fit you comfortably. That makes it great for shared home offices, as the chair is likely to be equally good for one spouse as the other. It’s integrated flexor system (called “LiveBack”) works to fit your back. Likewise, parts of the chair’s supports are weight triggered, giving you support based on you, not the position of some knob. When sitting down, and reclining, you should feel comfortable quickly by design.\nThe other great thing about a Steelcase They’re very customizable. You can get the back and base color that fits your room and tastes, get armrests in the style you like (or no armrests at all), and get wheels that suit your floors. The five chairs above? All are Steelcase Series 1 chairs. So, while this is one chair, and one set of design sensibilities for your back, it feels more like an armada of different chairs that you can choose from to get something that ultimately suits your environment.\nSteelcase Series 1\nBest ergonomic office chair for shared offices\nEzaki\nBest ergonomic executive office chair\nEzaki High Back Office Chair\nPros\nMemory foam filled\nMetal construction and premier wheels\nEasy lumbar adjustment\nCons\nNot for short people\nFor those wanting a chair in the executive style, the Ezaki will give you what you are looking for. In addition to having a premier look, it uses premium materials, such as the spring-loaded memory foam filling in the upper part of the chair and premium rubber wheels and metal alloy in the bottom half. It provides a subtly padded headrest for comfort that won’t push your chin forward in an uncomfortable tilt when rocking or even reclining to the full 130 degrees.\nLike the ergonomic office chair above, the Ezaki has and internal adjustable lumbar support. It operates by adjusting the internal pressure of the lower back area of the chair, giving you full control of give and stiffness in the region. This chair is particularly nice if you use a 2-in-1 laptop for your work, as it has 90-degree flip up arms. Just flip up the arms on the side of the chair and your elbows can comfortably extend outwards, unhindering both tapping and typing as you sit or recline in the Ezaki and work.\nEzaki High Back Office Chair\nBest ergonomic executive office chair\nNeo Chair\nBest budget ergonomic office chair\nNeo Chair High Back\nPros\nPremium mesh\nEasy assembly\nClean aesthetic\nCons\nNot suitable for larger bodies\nNo headrest\nYou may think that you would need to spend a ton to get quality ergonomic adjustments on your office chair, but that’s not the case anymore. The Neo Chair High Back provides a premium mesh backing with a lumbar support behind it. This lumbar support can be adjusted by two inches, up or down, to provide the best support area for the curvature of your spine. Similarly, the upper part of the back rest curves in a way that will naturally support you. Flip up arms will support all of your activities from resting while watching a tutorial video on your main monitor, to sitting cross-legged and doodling in a notebook on your lap. The chair is a lightweight 21 pounds, which makes it maneuverable and adds to its already easy construction. It comes in three colors, but we think you’ll particularly love the clean and modern aesthetic of the white variation.\nOverall, if you’re looking for an ergonomic office chair under $150, it will be hard to find something better. Plus, when this chair goes on sale, it can easily become the best ergonomic office chair under $100. Unfortunately, however, it does tend to be better for smaller people and outright will not support those over 250 pounds. If you can handle the chair, though, it is a great buy.\nNeo Chair High Back\nBest budget ergonomic office chair\nHow we chose these ergonomic office chairs\nWhile we broke up the categories into some of the most sought after types of office chairs, there were some common factors that we needed to look at for each chair to determine if it was right for you. Here is an up close look at our primary specification categories:\nSupport\nAt the end of the day, we buy ergonomic office chairs to get quality support for our bodies. Different chairs have different means of providing this support to us.\nFor head and neck support, look at the headrest of your new office chair. In most cases, there will be some padding where you will rest your head and oftentimes a curved neck support. Office chairs that are also intended for gaming may even have an attachable headrest support pillow that juts out further. This helps during extended periods of lounging during gaming and may feel excessive for the hunched-over-the-keyboard work from homer. While most headrests are stable, some move up and down or are even tiltable.\nLumbar support is a phrase that you’ve almost certainly heard but might not have the physiology chops to fully understand. The lumbar, or “lumbar spine” as doctors might more formally refer to it, and incorporate the spinal curve above your butt. To no great surprise, human evolution didn’t involve a lot of sitting in office chairs. As a result, this curved area of the spine can get undue pressure. The best ergonomic office chairs will offset this pressure with increased support to this region of the spine. This can be through pillows, memory foam, or increased solid support in the structure of the chair in that region. Some chairs will even offer the chance to adjust the ‘give’ of the lumbar region of chair via internal inflation. At max pressure (and inflation) the region will become stiff and offer tons of support, while low pressure will allow for a more relaxed seating position.\nArmrests\nOh, the armrests you’ll see! Unfortunately, the 2D, 3D, and 4D labelling of armrests make them seem more like extraterrestrial sketch artists than comfy places for your arms. Here are common designations for styles of armrest that you’ll see when selecting an ergonomic office chair:\n2D — These typically allow for up, down, forward, and backward movement.\n3D — These also allow for up, down, forward, and backward movement, but also add another dimension of adjustability. In most cases this will be side-to-side movement (great for people with wide or thin shoulders) but can also mean clockwise or counterclockwise rotation.\n4D — 4D armrests allow for up, down, forward, backward, right, left, clockwise, and counterclockwise movement of the armrests.\nFlip up — While flip up armrests don’t sound as fancy as 4D armrests, then can be ever bit as handy. As the name suggests, this style of armrest flips up 90 degrees to get out of your way. If you like to sit cross-legged in your office chair from time to type and\/or type away at your business laptop from your lap, strongly consider getting a flip up armrest style for maximum comfort.\nUser weight\nThis goes without saying, but you need to get an office chair that is suitable for your body. Office chairs will come with a rating for maximum weight they can carry. Manufacturers are getting better and better about this over the years and nearly all halfway decent ergonomic office chairs will support at least 250 pounds and a minimum, with 300 pounds being the typical weight limit you can expect to get. Special ‘tall and heavy’ ergonomic office chairs exist for heavier users and many are especially designed around the needs of heavier users.\nThis article is managed and created separately from the Digital Trends Editorial team.","attrs_markdown":"[Skip to main content](https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/home\/best-ergonomic-office-chairs\/#h-maincontent)\n\nMenu\n\n[Digital Trends](https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/)\n\n[Computing](https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/computing\/)[AI](https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/computing\/artificial-intelligence\/)[Phones](https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/phones\/)[Gaming](https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/gaming\/)[Entertainment](https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/movies\/)[Audio \/ Video](https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/home-theater\/)[Autos](https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/cars\/)[Smart Home](https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/home\/)[Videos](https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/topic\/videos\/)\n\nSearch\n\n- Computing\n  Computing\n  -

While everyone should get up and move at least once an hour if able, these chairs are designed around longer overall working periods. Their construction helps the lumbar region of the spine in your back and offers neck support as well. To go even further however, the best ergonomic office chairs will support your whole body — adjustable arm rests exist for your arms and shoulders, for example — and will be made of premium materials for maximum comfort.\n\n![Hforesty Ergonomic Mesh Office Chair, Swivel Computer Chair with 3D Lumbar Support, High Back Desk Chair with Footrest, Headrest and 4D

Mesh Office Chair\nPros\n\n- Great adjustability\n- Breathable back\n- Great for reclining\n\nCons\n\n- Somewhat expensive\n- Somewhat basic\n\nWhen we think of a nice, cool (as in not warm) office chair, we think of an office chair like this one from Hforesty. It’s got a mesh backing and headrest and has space between the lower back and seat components, both of which promote air circulation and make for perfect office companions even during the hottest months of the year. In other words, the basic chassis of the Hforesty Ergonomic Mesh Office Chair could go toe to toe with that of any standard office chair. While those with fancier tastes may find this chair somewhat on the basic side, for the typical user this is likely the office chair layout you were looking for.\n\nWhat makes the Hforesty one of the best ergonomic office chairs is its commitment to offering robust, but easy adjustments throughout the chair without becoming prohibitively expensive. For example, the mesh headrest can be adjust in both height and angle, while the curved lumbar support moves with you into an optimal spot as you go through the Hforesty’s 90 to 135 degree tilt range. Next, you’ll find a fully 4D arm rest, meaning it can be adjusted up, down, left, right, forward, backwards, clockwise, and counterclockwise. Finally, as you recline, take advantage of the extendable footrest.\n\nFull MSRP for this chair sits at over \\$300. That’s good for a great ergonomic office chair, but might feel expensive if you aren’t using all of the features. In other words, if you’re just looking for an office chair with a bit of extra lumbar support, you might find yourself disappointed. That being said, if you are lucky enough to find the Hforesty amongst the office chair deals of the day, it is a great office chair for anybody that values cool comfort and ergonomic support.\n\n![Hforesty Ergonomic Mesh Office Chair, Swivel Computer Chair with 3D Lumbar Support, High Back Desk Chair with Footrest, Headrest and 4D Armrests,300lbs](data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)\n\nHforesty Ergonomic Mesh Office Chair\n\nBest ergonomic office chair for most people\n\n[Buy at Walmart](https:\/\/goto.walmart.com\/c\/123412\/568844\/9383?veh=aff&sourceid=imp_000011112222333344&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fip%2F1676954065&subid3=dtUboU3505003)\n\n![Three views of the Herman Miller Embody ergonomic office chair.](data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)\n\nHerman Miller\n### Best premium ergonomic office chair\n## Herman Miller Embody\nPros\n\n- Designed to encourage good posture\n- “Pixelated support” for region-by-region care\n- Ideal back tilt\n\nCons\n\n- Costly\n\nThe creation of Herman Miller’s Bill Stumpf and Jeff Weber, the Herman Miller Embody, is a premium ergonomic office chair best for those looking for superior posture and fine-tuned results. Beyond being made from premium materials, a lot of clever design work goes into the Embody. For example, the back rises to a narrow taper in such a way that allows you full movement (none of that sinking in the chair feel) but also demands are commanding, upright posture when you do relax a little into the chair. Plus, it has a spine-supporting curve your back will die for.\n\nWhat embodies the Herman Miller Embody, however, is what is seen from behind the chair. It’s what the designers are calling “Pixelated Support” and essentially translates to micro-regional support. Even if you aren’t a squirmer, you move somewhat in your chair as you go about your day. These regional supports are designed to reduce pressure and give you less tension buildup throughout the day.\n\n![Herman Miller Embody](data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)\n\nHerman Miller Embody\n\nBest premium ergonomic office chair\n\n[Buy at Herman Miller](https:\/\/www.anrdoezrs.net\/links\/2942700\/type\/dlg\/https:\/\/store.hermanmiller.com\/office\/office-chairs\/embody-task-chair\/4737.html?lang=en_US&cjevent=f697efc4603211eb815b00d70a1c0e0d&utm_source=commissionjunction&utm_medium=affiliate&cjdata=MXxOfDB8WXww)\n\n![The brown version of the AutoFull C3 ergonomic gaming and office chair.](data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)\n\nAutoFull\n### Best ergonomic office chair for gamers\n## AutoFull C3 Gaming Chair\nPros\n\n- Gaming chair style, office chair aesthetic\n- Lumbar waist pillow styled for spine\n- 155-degree recline\n\nCons\n\n- Armrests lacking\n\nIf you work from home and are guilty of using a Twitch stream as your watercooler chatter alternative, you’ve probably gotten a little jealous of streamer’s glorious gaming chairs. Unfortunately, if you have a stuffy boss, using a bright and shiny gaming chair during your next Zoom meeting might give you an unfounded reputation as being unprofessional. The AutoFull C3 is a great compromise, as it retains the racing style of a gaming chair while coming in more muted colors like brown, black, and grey PU leather.\n\nAs for the AutoFull C3’s ergonomic side, you’ll almost certainly appreciate its adjustable headrest, which follows the pretty standard build for these on gaming chairs. But where the ergonomics really kick in is what AutoFull is calling its “3D Bionic Lumbar Support” that lines the bottom half of the backrest. It’s built for maximum spinal support due to its shape, supporting the lumbar spine as well as the scapular spine and caudal spine. In layman’s terms, the backrest is designed to support the full lower and upper back and is shaped in such a way that each major region of your lower back gets the support it needs. We only wish that the armrests took the same queue, as they’re a little harder than the rest of the chair.\n\n![AutoFull C3 Gaming Chair Office Chair PC Chair with Ergonomics Lumbar Support, Racing Style PU Leather High Back Adjustable Swivel Task Chair with Footrest (Brown)](data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)\n\nAutoFull C3 Gaming Chair\n\nBest ergonomic office chair for gamers\n\n[Buy at Amazon](https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B092DF433H?tag=digitrend08sub4-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1&_keeptag=1)\n\n![A pair of Flexispot C8 ergonomic office chairs.](data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)\n\nFlexiSpot\n### Easiest to adjust\n## Flexispot C8 Exclusive Ergonomic Chair\nPros\n\n- Minimal work get a great fit for you\n- Stylish modern look\n\nCons\n\n- Best for medium to small bodies\n\nTired of fidgeting with supports, adjusting back bracing, and having a troublesome time getting your chair’s height properly adjusted? Flexispot’s C8, to a degree, takes care of most of that for you and makes the rest easy, all while being made of a premium, comfortable mesh. The back, which provides some curve for spinal comfort, is lined with PU soft plastic. This PU plastic adjusts based on your body’s weight (and, presumably, the pressure you put into the back of the chair with your sitting style) automatically. Do note, however, that this mechanism will work best for people with medium to small sized bodies, as one of the few complaints we see about the C8 are that it isn’t quite as comfortable for heavier people. A better ergonomic office chair for the big and tall can be found below.\n\nOther adjustments that make Flexispot’s C8 comfortable are easy to adjust, such as the movable headrest and 3D armrests. The seat is adjustable, but can also automatically adjust based on your needs. As a result, this is a largely hassle-free ergonomic office chair that can take care of your comfort while your focus on the task at hand.\n\n![Flexispot C8 Exclusive Ergonomic Chair](data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)\n\nFlexispot C8 Exclusive Ergonomic Chair\n\nEasiest to adjust\n\n[Buy at FlexiSpot](https:\/\/www.flexispot.com\/ergonomic-chair-pro?sscid=31k8_heyfz&utm_source=ShareASale&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=231031&utm_term=943058&xs=1)\n\n![The Colamy Big and Tall Office Chair in a modern office.](data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)\n\nColamy\n### Best big and tall ergonomic office chair\n## Colamy Big and Tall Office Chair\nPros\n\n- Supports most bodies\n- Sofa-like seating\n- Designed specifically for larger bodies\n\nCons\n\n- Though comfortable, cannot adjust armrests\n\nIf you’re a large individual, you may have encountered office chairs that won’t support you. This frustrating issue can go away with chairs like this one from Colamy, specifically made with issues that affect you in mind. It is designed with heavy-duty materials that will stay structurally sound during use. Additionally, the cushions are thick for long lasting fluff that will stay soft and keep you comfortable during long days.\n\nWhile you cannot tell from looking at the chair, the Colamy’s headrest is height adjustable, giving you seamless support at any height. Likewise, the lumbar support is controlled by an internal airbag. Adjusting the internal mechanism adds or releases pressure on the lumbar region, giving you ergonomic lumbar support that makes sense for your body. When sitting in the chair and resting your arms on the armrests, you’ll find that they are very comfort and use a higher quality of materials than other office chairs, but are not adjustable.\n\n![Big and Tall Office Chair 500lbs-Heavy Duty Ergonomic Computer Chair with Extra Wide Seat, High Back Executive Large Desk Chair with Thick Seat and Tilt Rock, Adjustable Lumbar Support-Black](data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)\n\nColamy Big and Tall Office Chair\n\nBest big and tall ergonomic office chair\n\n[Buy at Amazon](https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0CMT1X17L?tag=digitrend08sub4-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1&_keeptag=1)\n\n![A group of Steelcase Series 1 chairs after customization.](data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)\n\nSteelcase\n### Best ergonomic office chair for shared offices\n## Steelcase Series 1\nPros\n\n- Sits comfortably for most people\n- Responsive ergonomics\n- Highly customizable\n\nCons\n\n- Headrest costs extra\n\nSteelcase’s philosophy when it comes to chairs is that they should support everybody from the 5% to the 95%. Whether you are five-foot tall or six-foot-one, a Steelcase Series 1 chair will fit you comfortably. That makes it great for shared home offices, as the chair is likely to be equally good for one spouse as the other. It’s integrated flexor system (called “LiveBack”) works to fit your back. Likewise, parts of the chair’s supports are weight triggered, giving you support based on you, not the position of some knob. When sitting down, and reclining, you should feel comfortable quickly by design.\n\nThe other great thing about a Steelcase They’re very customizable. You can get the back and base color that fits your room and tastes, get armrests in the style you like (or no armrests at all), and get wheels that suit your floors. The five chairs above? All are Steelcase Series 1 chairs. So, while this is one chair, and one set of design sensibilities for your back, it feels more like an armada of different chairs that you can choose from to get something that ultimately suits your environment.\n\n![Steelcase Series 1](data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)\n\nSteelcase Series 1\n\nBest ergonomic office chair for shared offices\n\n[Buy at Steelcase](https:\/\/store.steelcase.com\/seating\/office-chairs\/steelcase-series-1?ranMID=47144&ranEAID=TnL5HPStwNw&ranSiteID=TnL5HPStwNw-QaERTHvAqEEv6VuXYsPZqw&LSNSUBSITE=Omitted_TnL5HPStwNw&Creative-Type=10&publisher=Skimlinks.com&offer=966714&xs=1)\n\n![The Ezaki Office Chair in a modern office.](data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)\n\nEzaki\n### Best ergonomic executive office chair\n## Ezaki High Back Office Chair\nPros\n\n- Memory foam filled\n- Metal construction and premier wheels\n- Easy lumbar adjustment\n\nCons\n\n- Not for short people\n\nFor those wanting a chair in the executive style, the Ezaki will give you what you are looking for. In addition to having a premier look, it uses premium materials, such as the spring-loaded memory foam filling in the upper part of the chair and premium rubber wheels and metal alloy in the bottom half. It provides a subtly padded headrest for comfort that won’t push your chin forward in an uncomfortable tilt when rocking or even reclining to the full 130 degrees.\n\nLike the ergonomic office chair above, the Ezaki has and internal adjustable lumbar support. It operates by adjusting the internal pressure of the lower back area of the chair, giving you full control of give and stiffness in the region. This chair is particularly nice if you use a 2-in-1 laptop for your work, as it has 90-degree flip up arms. Just flip up the arms on the side of the chair and your elbows can comfortably extend outwards, unhindering both tapping and typing as you sit or recline in the Ezaki and work.\n\n![High Back Office Chair- Flip Arms Adjustable Built-in Lumbar Support, Executive Computer Desk Chair Work Chairs, Thick Padded Strong Metal Base Quiet Wheels, Ergonomic Design for Back Pain](data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)\n\nEzaki High Back Office Chair\n\nBest ergonomic executive office chair\n\n[Buy at Amazon](https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B09YRHMQN8?tag=digitrend08sub4-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1&_keeptag=1)\n\n![A woman reading in a Neo Chair High Back.](data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)\n\nNeo Chair\n### Best budget ergonomic office chair\n## Neo Chair High Back\nPros\n\n- Premium mesh\n- Easy assembly\n- Clean aesthetic\n\nCons\n\n- Not suitable for larger bodies\n- No headrest\n\nYou may think that you would need to spend a ton to get quality ergonomic adjustments on your office chair, but that’s not the case anymore. The Neo Chair High Back provides a premium mesh backing with a lumbar support behind it. This lumbar support can be adjusted by two inches, up or down, to provide the best support area for the curvature of your spine. Similarly, the upper part of the back rest curves in a way that will naturally support you. Flip up arms will support all of your activities from resting while watching a tutorial video on your main monitor, to sitting cross-legged and doodling in a notebook on your lap. The chair is a lightweight 21 pounds, which makes it maneuverable and adds to its already easy construction. It comes in three colors, but we think you’ll particularly love the clean and modern aesthetic of the white variation.\n\nOverall, if you’re looking for an ergonomic office chair under \\$150, it will be hard to find something better. Plus, when this chair goes on sale, it can easily become the best ergonomic office chair under \\$100. Unfortunately, however, it does tend to be better for smaller people and outright will not support those over 250 pounds. If you can handle the chair, though, it is a great buy.\n\n![NEO CHAIR High Back Mesh Chair Adjustable Height and Ergonomic Design Home Office Computer Desk Chair Executive Lumbar Support Padded Flip-up Armrest Swivel Chair (Grey)](data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)\n\nNeo Chair High Back\n\nBest budget ergonomic office chair\n\n[Buy at Amazon](https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0BHNZQ7CN?tag=digitrend08sub4-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1&_keeptag=1)\n## How we chose these ergonomic office chairs\nWhile we broke up the categories into some of the most sought after types of office chairs, there were some common factors that we needed to look at for each chair to determine if it was right for you. Here is an up close look at our primary specification categories:\n\n### Support\nAt the end of the day, we buy ergonomic office chairs to get quality support for our bodies. Different chairs have different means of providing this support to us.\n\nFor head and neck support, look at the headrest of your new office chair. In most cases, there will be some padding where you will rest your head and oftentimes a curved neck support. Office chairs that are also intended for gaming may even have an attachable headrest support pillow that juts out further. This helps during extended periods of lounging during gaming and may feel excessive for the hunched-over-the-keyboard work from homer. While most headrests are stable, some move up and down or are even tiltable.\n\nLumbar support is a phrase that you’ve almost certainly heard but might not have the physiology chops to fully understand. The lumbar, or “lumbar spine” as doctors might more formally refer to it, and incorporate the spinal curve above your butt. To no great surprise, human evolution didn’t involve a lot of sitting in office chairs. As a result, this curved area of the spine can get undue pressure. The best ergonomic office chairs will offset this pressure with increased support to this region of the spine. This can be through pillows, memory foam, or increased solid support in the structure of the chair in that region. Some chairs will even offer the chance to adjust the ‘give’ of the lumbar region of chair via internal inflation. At max pressure (and inflation) the region will become stiff and offer tons of support, while low pressure will allow for a more relaxed seating position.\n\n### Armrests\nOh, the armrests you’ll see! Unfortunately, the 2D, 3D, and 4D labelling of armrests make them seem more like extraterrestrial sketch artists than comfy places for your arms. Here are common designations for styles of armrest that you’ll see when selecting an ergonomic office chair:\n\n- 2D — These typically allow for up, down, forward, and backward movement.\n- 3D — These also allow for up, down, forward, and backward movement, but also add another dimension of adjustability. In most cases this will be side-to-side movement (great for people with wide or thin shoulders) but can also mean clockwise or counterclockwise rotation.\n- 4D — 4D armrests allow for up, down, forward, backward, right, left, clockwise, and counterclockwise movement of the armrests.\n- Flip up — While flip up armrests don’t sound as fancy as 4D armrests, then can be ever bit as handy. As the name suggests, this style of armrest flips up 90 degrees to get out of your way. If you like to sit cross-legged in your office chair from time to type and\/or type away at your business laptop from your lap, strongly consider getting a flip up armrest style for maximum comfort.\n### User weight\nThis goes without saying, but you need to get an office chair that is suitable for your body. Office chairs will come with a rating for maximum weight they can carry. Manufacturers are getting better and better about this over the years and nearly all halfway decent ergonomic office chairs will support at least 250 pounds and a minimum, with 300 pounds being the typical weight limit you can expect to get. Special ‘tall and heavy’ ergonomic office chairs exist for heavier users and many are especially designed around the needs of heavier users.\n\n*This article is managed and created separately from the Digital Trends Editorial team.*\n\n![John Alexander](data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)\n\n[John Alexander](https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/users\/jalexander\/)\n\nFormer Digital Trends Contributor\n\nJohn Alexander is a former ESL teacher, current writer and internet addict, and lacks the wisdom to know what the future holds.

Meta Title	The 8 best ergonomic office chairs in 2024 - Digital Trends
Meta Description	null
Meta Canonical	null
Boilerpipe Text	If you’re a PC user, and especially a work-from-home PC user, you probably spend an excess amount of time sitting and might be considering an ergonomic office chair. While everyone should get up and move at least once an hour if able, these chairs are designed around longer overall working periods. Their construction helps the lumbar region of the spine in your back and offers neck support as well. To go even further however, the best ergonomic office chairs will support your whole body — adjustable arm rests exist for your arms and shoulders, for example — and will be made of premium materials for maximum comfort.

It’s got a mesh backing and headrest and has space between the lower back and seat components, both of which promote air circulation and make for perfect office companions even during the hottest months of the year. In other words, the basic chassis of the Hforesty Ergonomic Mesh Office Chair could go toe to toe with that of any standard office chair. While those with fancier tastes may find this chair somewhat on the basic side, for the typical user this is likely the office chair layout you were looking for. What makes the Hforesty one of the best ergonomic office chairs is its commitment to offering robust, but easy adjustments throughout the chair without becoming prohibitively expensive. For example, the mesh headrest can be adjust in both height and angle, while the curved lumbar support moves with you into an optimal spot as you go through the Hforesty’s 90 to 135 degree tilt range. Next, you’ll find a fully 4D arm rest, meaning it can be adjusted up, down, left, right, forward, backwards, clockwise, and counterclockwise. Finally, as you recline, take advantage of the extendable footrest. Full MSRP for this chair sits at over $300. That’s good for a great ergonomic office chair, but might feel expensive if you aren’t using all of the features. In other words, if you’re just looking for an office chair with a bit of extra lumbar support, you might find yourself disappointed. That being said, if you are lucky enough to find the Hforesty amongst the office chair deals of the day, it is a great office chair for anybody that values cool comfort and ergonomic support. Hforesty Ergonomic Mesh Office Chair Best ergonomic office chair for most people Herman Miller Best premium ergonomic office chair Herman Miller Embody Pros Designed to encourage good posture “Pixelated support” for region-by-region care Ideal back tilt Cons Costly The creation of Herman Miller’s Bill Stumpf and Jeff Weber, the Herman Miller Embody, is a premium ergonomic office chair best for those looking for superior posture and fine-tuned results. Beyond being made from premium materials, a lot of clever design work goes into the Embody. For example, the back rises to a narrow taper in such a way that allows you full movement (none of that sinking in the chair feel) but also demands are commanding, upright posture when you do relax a little into the chair. Plus, it has a spine-supporting curve your back will die for. What embodies the Herman Miller Embody, however, is what is seen from behind the chair. It’s what the designers are calling “Pixelated Support” and essentially translates to micro-regional support. Even if you aren’t a squirmer, you move somewhat in your chair as you go about your day. These regional supports are designed to reduce pressure and give you less tension buildup throughout the day. Herman Miller Embody Best premium ergonomic office chair AutoFull Best ergonomic office chair for gamers AutoFull C3 Gaming Chair Pros Gaming chair style, office chair aesthetic Lumbar waist pillow styled for spine 155-degree recline Cons Armrests lacking If you work from home and are guilty of using a Twitch stream as your watercooler chatter alternative, you’ve probably gotten a little jealous of streamer’s glorious gaming chairs. Unfortunately, if you have a stuffy boss, using a bright and shiny gaming chair during your next Zoom meeting might give you an unfounded reputation as being unprofessional. The AutoFull C3 is a great compromise, as it retains the racing style of a gaming chair while coming in more muted colors like brown, black, and grey PU leather. As for the AutoFull C3’s ergonomic side, you’ll almost certainly appreciate its adjustable headrest, which follows the pretty standard build for these on gaming chairs. But where the ergonomics really kick in is what AutoFull is calling its “3D Bionic Lumbar Support” that lines the bottom half of the backrest. It’s built for maximum spinal support due to its shape, supporting the lumbar spine as well as the scapular spine and caudal spine. In layman’s terms, the backrest is designed to support the full lower and upper back and is shaped in such a way that each major region of your lower back gets the support it needs. We only wish that the armrests took the same queue, as they’re a little harder than the rest of the chair. AutoFull C3 Gaming Chair Best ergonomic office chair for gamers FlexiSpot Easiest to adjust Flexispot C8 Exclusive Ergonomic Chair Pros Minimal work get a great fit for you Stylish modern look Cons Best for medium to small bodies Tired of fidgeting with supports, adjusting back bracing, and having a troublesome time getting your chair’s height properly adjusted? Flexispot’s C8, to a degree, takes care of most of that for you and makes the rest easy, all while being made of a premium, comfortable mesh. The back, which provides some curve for spinal comfort, is lined with PU soft plastic. This PU plastic adjusts based on your body’s weight (and, presumably, the pressure you put into the back of the chair with your sitting style) automatically. Do note, however, that this mechanism will work best for people with medium to small sized bodies, as one of the few complaints we see about the C8 are that it isn’t quite as comfortable for heavier people. A better ergonomic office chair for the big and tall can be found below. Other adjustments that make Flexispot’s C8 comfortable are easy to adjust, such as the movable headrest and 3D armrests. The seat is adjustable, but can also automatically adjust based on your needs. As a result, this is a largely hassle-free ergonomic office chair that can take care of your comfort while your focus on the task at hand. Flexispot C8 Exclusive Ergonomic Chair Easiest to adjust Colamy Best big and tall ergonomic office chair Colamy Big and Tall Office Chair Pros Supports most bodies Sofa-like seating Designed specifically for larger bodies Cons Though comfortable, cannot adjust armrests If you’re a large individual, you may have encountered office chairs that won’t support you. This frustrating issue can go away with chairs like this one from Colamy, specifically made with issues that affect you in mind. It is designed with heavy-duty materials that will stay structurally sound during use. Additionally, the cushions are thick for long lasting fluff that will stay soft and keep you comfortable during long days. While you cannot tell from looking at the chair, the Colamy’s headrest is height adjustable, giving you seamless support at any height. Likewise, the lumbar support is controlled by an internal airbag. Adjusting the internal mechanism adds or releases pressure on the lumbar region, giving you ergonomic lumbar support that makes sense for your body. When sitting in the chair and resting your arms on the armrests, you’ll find that they are very comfort and use a higher quality of materials than other office chairs, but are not adjustable. Colamy Big and Tall Office Chair Best big and tall ergonomic office chair Steelcase Best ergonomic office chair for shared offices Steelcase Series 1 Pros Sits comfortably for most people Responsive ergonomics Highly customizable Cons Headrest costs extra Steelcase’s philosophy when it comes to chairs is that they should support everybody from the 5% to the 95%. Whether you are five-foot tall or six-foot-one, a Steelcase Series 1 chair will fit you comfortably. That makes it great for shared home offices, as the chair is likely to be equally good for one spouse as the other. It’s integrated flexor system (called “LiveBack”) works to fit your back. Likewise, parts of the chair’s supports are weight triggered, giving you support based on you, not the position of some knob. When sitting down, and reclining, you should feel comfortable quickly by design. The other great thing about a Steelcase They’re very customizable. You can get the back and base color that fits your room and tastes, get armrests in the style you like (or no armrests at all), and get wheels that suit your floors. The five chairs above? All are Steelcase Series 1 chairs. So, while this is one chair, and one set of design sensibilities for your back, it feels more like an armada of different chairs that you can choose from to get something that ultimately suits your environment. Steelcase Series 1 Best ergonomic office chair for shared offices Ezaki Best ergonomic executive office chair Ezaki High Back Office Chair Pros Memory foam filled Metal construction and premier wheels Easy lumbar adjustment Cons Not for short people For those wanting a chair in the executive style, the Ezaki will give you what you are looking for. In addition to having a premier look, it uses premium materials, such as the spring-loaded memory foam filling in the upper part of the chair and premium rubber wheels and metal alloy in the bottom half. It provides a subtly padded headrest for comfort that won’t push your chin forward in an uncomfortable tilt when rocking or even reclining to the full 130 degrees. Like the ergonomic office chair above, the Ezaki has and internal adjustable lumbar support. It operates by adjusting the internal pressure of the lower back area of the chair, giving you full control of give and stiffness in the region. This chair is particularly nice if you use a 2-in-1 laptop for your work, as it has 90-degree flip up arms. Just flip up the arms on the side of the chair and your elbows can comfortably extend outwards, unhindering both tapping and typing as you sit or recline in the Ezaki and work. Ezaki High Back Office Chair Best ergonomic executive office chair Neo Chair Best budget ergonomic office chair Neo Chair High Back Pros Premium mesh Easy assembly Clean aesthetic Cons Not suitable for larger bodies No headrest You may think that you would need to spend a ton to get quality ergonomic adjustments on your office chair, but that’s not the case anymore. The Neo Chair High Back provides a premium mesh backing with a lumbar support behind it. This lumbar support can be adjusted by two inches, up or down, to provide the best support area for the curvature of your spine. Similarly, the upper part of the back rest curves in a way that will naturally support you. Flip up arms will support all of your activities from resting while watching a tutorial video on your main monitor, to sitting cross-legged and doodling in a notebook on your lap. The chair is a lightweight 21 pounds, which makes it maneuverable and adds to its already easy construction. It comes in three colors, but we think you’ll particularly love the clean and modern aesthetic of the white variation. Overall, if you’re looking for an ergonomic office chair under $150, it will be hard to find something better. Plus, when this chair goes on sale, it can easily become the best ergonomic office chair under $100. Unfortunately, however, it does tend to be better for smaller people and outright will not support those over 250 pounds. If you can handle the chair, though, it is a great buy. Neo Chair High Back Best budget ergonomic office chair How we chose these ergonomic office chairs While we broke up the categories into some of the most sought after types of office chairs, there were some common factors that we needed to look at for each chair to determine if it was right for you. Here is an up close look at our primary specification categories: Support At the end of the day, we buy ergonomic office chairs to get quality support for our bodies. Different chairs have different means of providing this support to us. For head and neck support, look at the headrest of your new office chair. In most cases, there will be some padding where you will rest your head and oftentimes a curved neck support. Office chairs that are also intended for gaming may even have an attachable headrest support pillow that juts out further. This helps during extended periods of lounging during gaming and may feel excessive for the hunched-over-the-keyboard work from homer. While most headrests are stable, some move up and down or are even tiltable. Lumbar support is a phrase that you’ve almost certainly heard but might not have the physiology chops to fully understand. The lumbar, or “lumbar spine” as doctors might more formally refer to it, and incorporate the spinal curve above your butt. To no great surprise, human evolution didn’t involve a lot of sitting in office chairs. As a result, this curved area of the spine can get undue pressure. The best ergonomic office chairs will offset this pressure with increased support to this region of the spine. This can be through pillows, memory foam, or increased solid support in the structure of the chair in that region. Some chairs will even offer the chance to adjust the ‘give’ of the lumbar region of chair via internal inflation. At max pressure (and inflation) the region will become stiff and offer tons of support, while low pressure will allow for a more relaxed seating position. Armrests Oh, the armrests you’ll see! Unfortunately, the 2D, 3D, and 4D labelling of armrests make them seem more like extraterrestrial sketch artists than comfy places for your arms. Here are common designations for styles of armrest that you’ll see when selecting an ergonomic office chair: 2D — These typically allow for up, down, forward, and backward movement. 3D — These also allow for up, down, forward, and backward movement, but also add another dimension of adjustability. In most cases this will be side-to-side movement (great for people with wide or thin shoulders) but can also mean clockwise or counterclockwise rotation. 4D — 4D armrests allow for up, down, forward, backward, right, left, clockwise, and counterclockwise movement of the armrests. Flip up — While flip up armrests don’t sound as fancy as 4D armrests, then can be ever bit as handy. As the name suggests, this style of armrest flips up 90 degrees to get out of your way. If you like to sit cross-legged in your office chair from time to type and/or type away at your business laptop from your lap, strongly consider getting a flip up armrest style for maximum comfort. User weight This goes without saying, but you need to get an office chair that is suitable for your body. Office chairs will come with a rating for maximum weight they can carry. Manufacturers are getting better and better about this over the years and nearly all halfway decent ergonomic office chairs will support at least 250 pounds and a minimum, with 300 pounds being the typical weight limit you can expect to get. Special ‘tall and heavy’ ergonomic office chairs exist for heavier users and many are especially designed around the needs of heavier users.

If you’re a [PC](https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/best-pc-builds/) user, and especially a work-from-home PC user, you probably spend an excess amount of time sitting and might be considering an ergonomic office chair. While everyone should get up and move at least once an hour if able, these chairs are designed around longer overall working periods. Their construction helps the lumbar region of the spine in your back and offers neck support as well. To go even further however, the best ergonomic office chairs will support your whole body — adjustable arm rests exist for your arms and shoulders, for example — and will be made of premium materials for maximum comfort. ![Hforesty Ergonomic Mesh Office Chair, Swivel Computer Chair with 3D Lumbar Support, High Back Desk Chair with Footrest, Headrest and 4D Armrests,300lbs](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7) Hforesty Ergonomic Mesh Office Chair Best ergonomic office chair for most people [Jump to details](https://www.digitaltrends.com/home/best-ergonomic-office-chairs/#h-wwvFHGf4HW) [Buy at Walmart](https://goto.walmart.com/c/123412/568844/9383?veh=aff&sourceid=imp_000011112222333344&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fip%2F1676954065&subid3=dtUboU3505003) ![Herman Miller Embody](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7) Herman Miller Embody Best premium ergonomic office chair [Jump to details](https://www.digitaltrends.com/home/best-ergonomic-office-chairs/#h-Mt0JYfqvIy) [Buy at Herman Miller](https://www.anrdoezrs.net/links/2942700/type/dlg/https://store.hermanmiller.com/office/office-chairs/embody-task-chair/4737.html?lang=en_US&cjevent=f697efc4603211eb815b00d70a1c0e0d&utm_source=commissionjunction&utm_medium=affiliate&cjdata=MXxOfDB8WXww) ![AutoFull C3 Gaming Chair Office Chair PC Chair with Ergonomics Lumbar Support, Racing Style PU Leather High Back Adjustable Swivel Task Chair with Footrest (Brown)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7) AutoFull C3 Gaming Chair Best ergonomic office chair for gamers [Jump to details](https://www.digitaltrends.com/home/best-ergonomic-office-chairs/#h-OwGhZydfhE) [Buy at Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B092DF433H?tag=digitrend08sub4-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1&_keeptag=1) ![Flexispot C8 Exclusive Ergonomic Chair](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7) Flexispot C8 Exclusive Ergonomic Chair Easiest to adjust [Jump to details](https://www.digitaltrends.com/home/best-ergonomic-office-chairs/#h-p8MtUjYhv1) [Buy at FlexiSpot](https://www.flexispot.com/ergonomic-chair-pro?sscid=31k8_heyfz&utm_source=ShareASale&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=231031&utm_term=943058&xs=1) ![Big and Tall Office Chair 500lbs-Heavy Duty Ergonomic Computer Chair with Extra Wide Seat, High Back Executive Large Desk Chair with Thick Seat and Tilt Rock, Adjustable Lumbar Support-Black](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7) Colamy Big and Tall Office Chair Best big and tall ergonomic office chair [Jump to details](https://www.digitaltrends.com/home/best-ergonomic-office-chairs/#h-PWN30mYJfR) [Buy at Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CMT1X17L?tag=digitrend08sub4-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1&_keeptag=1) ![Steelcase Series 1](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7) Steelcase Series 1 Best ergonomic office chair for shared offices [Jump to details](https://www.digitaltrends.com/home/best-ergonomic-office-chairs/#h-QQ7aArmjdg) [Buy at Steelcase](https://store.steelcase.com/seating/office-chairs/steelcase-series-1?ranMID=47144&ranEAID=TnL5HPStwNw&ranSiteID=TnL5HPStwNw-QaERTHvAqEEv6VuXYsPZqw&LSNSUBSITE=Omitted_TnL5HPStwNw&Creative-Type=10&publisher=Skimlinks.com&offer=966714&xs=1) ![High Back Office Chair- Flip Arms Adjustable Built-in Lumbar Support, Executive Computer Desk Chair Work Chairs, Thick Padded Strong Metal Base Quiet Wheels, Ergonomic Design for Back Pain](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7) Ezaki High Back Office Chair Best ergonomic executive office chair [Jump to details](https://www.digitaltrends.com/home/best-ergonomic-office-chairs/#h-oQ9e3pIics) [Buy at Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09YRHMQN8?tag=digitrend08sub4-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1&_keeptag=1) ![NEO CHAIR High Back Mesh Chair Adjustable Height and Ergonomic Design Home Office Computer Desk Chair Executive Lumbar Support Padded Flip-up Armrest Swivel Chair (Grey)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7) Neo Chair High Back Best budget ergonomic office chair [Jump to details](https://www.digitaltrends.com/home/best-ergonomic-office-chairs/#h-nGleJkWbF2) [Buy at Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BHNZQ7CN?tag=digitrend08sub4-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1&_keeptag=1) Show 5 more items Recommended Videos ![The Hforesty Ergonomic Mesh Office Chair in a relaxed, reclining position.](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7) Hforesty ### Best ergonomic office chair for most people ## Hforesty Ergonomic Mesh Office Chair Pros - Great adjustability - Breathable back - Great for reclining Cons - Somewhat expensive - Somewhat basic When we think of a nice, cool (as in not warm) office chair, we think of an office chair like this one from Hforesty. It’s got a mesh backing and headrest and has space between the lower back and seat components, both of which promote air circulation and make for perfect office companions even during the hottest months of the year. In other words, the basic chassis of the Hforesty Ergonomic Mesh Office Chair could go toe to toe with that of any standard office chair. While those with fancier tastes may find this chair somewhat on the basic side, for the typical user this is likely the office chair layout you were looking for. What makes the Hforesty one of the best ergonomic office chairs is its commitment to offering robust, but easy adjustments throughout the chair without becoming prohibitively expensive. For example, the mesh headrest can be adjust in both height and angle, while the curved lumbar support moves with you into an optimal spot as you go through the Hforesty’s 90 to 135 degree tilt range. Next, you’ll find a fully 4D arm rest, meaning it can be adjusted up, down, left, right, forward, backwards, clockwise, and counterclockwise. Finally, as you recline, take advantage of the extendable footrest. Full MSRP for this chair sits at over \$300. That’s good for a great ergonomic office chair, but might feel expensive if you aren’t using all of the features. In other words, if you’re just looking for an office chair with a bit of extra lumbar support, you might find yourself disappointed. That being said, if you are lucky enough to find the Hforesty amongst the office chair deals of the day, it is a great office chair for anybody that values cool comfort and ergonomic support. ![Hforesty Ergonomic Mesh Office Chair, Swivel Computer Chair with 3D Lumbar Support, High Back Desk Chair with Footrest, Headrest and 4D Armrests,300lbs](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7) Hforesty Ergonomic Mesh Office Chair Best ergonomic office chair for most people [Buy at Walmart](https://goto.walmart.com/c/123412/568844/9383?veh=aff&sourceid=imp_000011112222333344&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fip%2F1676954065&subid3=dtUboU3505003) ![Three views of the Herman Miller Embody ergonomic office chair.](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7) Herman Miller ### Best premium ergonomic office chair ## Herman Miller Embody Pros - Designed to encourage good posture - “Pixelated support” for region-by-region care - Ideal back tilt Cons - Costly The creation of Herman Miller’s Bill Stumpf and Jeff Weber, the Herman Miller Embody, is a premium ergonomic office chair best for those looking for superior posture and fine-tuned results. Beyond being made from premium materials, a lot of clever design work goes into the Embody. For example, the back rises to a narrow taper in such a way that allows you full movement (none of that sinking in the chair feel) but also demands are commanding, upright posture when you do relax a little into the chair. Plus, it has a spine-supporting curve your back will die for. What embodies the Herman Miller Embody, however, is what is seen from behind the chair. It’s what the designers are calling “Pixelated Support” and essentially translates to micro-regional support. Even if you aren’t a squirmer, you move somewhat in your chair as you go about your day. These regional supports are designed to reduce pressure and give you less tension buildup throughout the day. ![Herman Miller Embody](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7) Herman Miller Embody Best premium ergonomic office chair [Buy at Herman Miller](https://www.anrdoezrs.net/links/2942700/type/dlg/https://store.hermanmiller.com/office/office-chairs/embody-task-chair/4737.html?lang=en_US&cjevent=f697efc4603211eb815b00d70a1c0e0d&utm_source=commissionjunction&utm_medium=affiliate&cjdata=MXxOfDB8WXww) ![The brown version of the AutoFull C3 ergonomic gaming and office chair.](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7) AutoFull ### Best ergonomic office chair for gamers ## AutoFull C3 Gaming Chair Pros - Gaming chair style, office chair aesthetic - Lumbar waist pillow styled for spine - 155-degree recline Cons - Armrests lacking If you work from home and are guilty of using a Twitch stream as your watercooler chatter alternative, you’ve probably gotten a little jealous of streamer’s glorious gaming chairs. Unfortunately, if you have a stuffy boss, using a bright and shiny gaming chair during your next Zoom meeting might give you an unfounded reputation as being unprofessional. The AutoFull C3 is a great compromise, as it retains the racing style of a gaming chair while coming in more muted colors like brown, black, and grey PU leather. As for the AutoFull C3’s ergonomic side, you’ll almost certainly appreciate its adjustable headrest, which follows the pretty standard build for these on gaming chairs. But where the ergonomics really kick in is what AutoFull is calling its “3D Bionic Lumbar Support” that lines the bottom half of the backrest. It’s built for maximum spinal support due to its shape, supporting the lumbar spine as well as the scapular spine and caudal spine. In layman’s terms, the backrest is designed to support the full lower and upper back and is shaped in such a way that each major region of your lower back gets the support it needs. We only wish that the armrests took the same queue, as they’re a little harder than the rest of the chair. ![AutoFull C3 Gaming Chair Office Chair PC Chair with Ergonomics Lumbar Support, Racing Style PU Leather High Back Adjustable Swivel Task Chair with Footrest (Brown)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7) AutoFull C3 Gaming Chair Best ergonomic office chair for gamers [Buy at Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B092DF433H?tag=digitrend08sub4-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1&_keeptag=1) ![A pair of Flexispot C8 ergonomic office chairs.](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7) FlexiSpot ### Easiest to adjust ## Flexispot C8 Exclusive Ergonomic Chair Pros - Minimal work get a great fit for you - Stylish modern look Cons - Best for medium to small bodies Tired of fidgeting with supports, adjusting back bracing, and having a troublesome time getting your chair’s height properly adjusted? Flexispot’s C8, to a degree, takes care of most of that for you and makes the rest easy, all while being made of a premium, comfortable mesh. The back, which provides some curve for spinal comfort, is lined with PU soft plastic. This PU plastic adjusts based on your body’s weight (and, presumably, the pressure you put into the back of the chair with your sitting style) automatically. Do note, however, that this mechanism will work best for people with medium to small sized bodies, as one of the few complaints we see about the C8 are that it isn’t quite as comfortable for heavier people. A better ergonomic office chair for the big and tall can be found below. Other adjustments that make Flexispot’s C8 comfortable are easy to adjust, such as the movable headrest and 3D armrests. The seat is adjustable, but can also automatically adjust based on your needs. As a result, this is a largely hassle-free ergonomic office chair that can take care of your comfort while your focus on the task at hand. ![Flexispot C8 Exclusive Ergonomic Chair](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7) Flexispot C8 Exclusive Ergonomic Chair Easiest to adjust [Buy at FlexiSpot](https://www.flexispot.com/ergonomic-chair-pro?sscid=31k8_heyfz&utm_source=ShareASale&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=231031&utm_term=943058&xs=1) ![The Colamy Big and Tall Office Chair in a modern office.](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7) Colamy ### Best big and tall ergonomic office chair ## Colamy Big and Tall Office Chair Pros - Supports most bodies - Sofa-like seating - Designed specifically for larger bodies Cons - Though comfortable, cannot adjust armrests If you’re a large individual, you may have encountered office chairs that won’t support you. This frustrating issue can go away with chairs like this one from Colamy, specifically made with issues that affect you in mind. It is designed with heavy-duty materials that will stay structurally sound during use. Additionally, the cushions are thick for long lasting fluff that will stay soft and keep you comfortable during long days. While you cannot tell from looking at the chair, the Colamy’s headrest is height adjustable, giving you seamless support at any height. Likewise, the lumbar support is controlled by an internal airbag. Adjusting the internal mechanism adds or releases pressure on the lumbar region, giving you ergonomic lumbar support that makes sense for your body. When sitting in the chair and resting your arms on the armrests, you’ll find that they are very comfort and use a higher quality of materials than other office chairs, but are not adjustable. ![Big and Tall Office Chair 500lbs-Heavy Duty Ergonomic Computer Chair with Extra Wide Seat, High Back Executive Large Desk Chair with Thick Seat and Tilt Rock, Adjustable Lumbar Support-Black](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7) Colamy Big and Tall Office Chair Best big and tall ergonomic office chair [Buy at Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CMT1X17L?tag=digitrend08sub4-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1&_keeptag=1) ![A group of Steelcase Series 1 chairs after customization.](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7) Steelcase ### Best ergonomic office chair for shared offices ## Steelcase Series 1 Pros - Sits comfortably for most people - Responsive ergonomics - Highly customizable Cons - Headrest costs extra Steelcase’s philosophy when it comes to chairs is that they should support everybody from the 5% to the 95%. Whether you are five-foot tall or six-foot-one, a Steelcase Series 1 chair will fit you comfortably. That makes it great for shared home offices, as the chair is likely to be equally good for one spouse as the other. It’s integrated flexor system (called “LiveBack”) works to fit your back. Likewise, parts of the chair’s supports are weight triggered, giving you support based on you, not the position of some knob. When sitting down, and reclining, you should feel comfortable quickly by design. The other great thing about a Steelcase They’re very customizable. You can get the back and base color that fits your room and tastes, get armrests in the style you like (or no armrests at all), and get wheels that suit your floors. The five chairs above? All are Steelcase Series 1 chairs. So, while this is one chair, and one set of design sensibilities for your back, it feels more like an armada of different chairs that you can choose from to get something that ultimately suits your environment. ![Steelcase Series 1](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7) Steelcase Series 1 Best ergonomic office chair for shared offices [Buy at Steelcase](https://store.steelcase.com/seating/office-chairs/steelcase-series-1?ranMID=47144&ranEAID=TnL5HPStwNw&ranSiteID=TnL5HPStwNw-QaERTHvAqEEv6VuXYsPZqw&LSNSUBSITE=Omitted_TnL5HPStwNw&Creative-Type=10&publisher=Skimlinks.com&offer=966714&xs=1) ![The Ezaki Office Chair in a modern office.](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7) Ezaki ### Best ergonomic executive office chair ## Ezaki High Back Office Chair Pros - Memory foam filled - Metal construction and premier wheels - Easy lumbar adjustment Cons - Not for short people For those wanting a chair in the executive style, the Ezaki will give you what you are looking for. In addition to having a premier look, it uses premium materials, such as the spring-loaded memory foam filling in the upper part of the chair and premium rubber wheels and metal alloy in the bottom half. It provides a subtly padded headrest for comfort that won’t push your chin forward in an uncomfortable tilt when rocking or even reclining to the full 130 degrees. Like the ergonomic office chair above, the Ezaki has and internal adjustable lumbar support. It operates by adjusting the internal pressure of the lower back area of the chair, giving you full control of give and stiffness in the region. This chair is particularly nice if you use a 2-in-1 laptop for your work, as it has 90-degree flip up arms. Just flip up the arms on the side of the chair and your elbows can comfortably extend outwards, unhindering both tapping and typing as you sit or recline in the Ezaki and work. ![High Back Office Chair- Flip Arms Adjustable Built-in Lumbar Support, Executive Computer Desk Chair Work Chairs, Thick Padded Strong Metal Base Quiet Wheels, Ergonomic Design for Back Pain](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7) Ezaki High Back Office Chair Best ergonomic executive office chair [Buy at Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09YRHMQN8?tag=digitrend08sub4-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1&_keeptag=1) ![A woman reading in a Neo Chair High Back.](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7) Neo Chair ### Best budget ergonomic office chair ## Neo Chair High Back Pros - Premium mesh - Easy assembly - Clean aesthetic Cons - Not suitable for larger bodies - No headrest You may think that you would need to spend a ton to get quality ergonomic adjustments on your office chair, but that’s not the case anymore. The Neo Chair High Back provides a premium mesh backing with a lumbar support behind it. This lumbar support can be adjusted by two inches, up or down, to provide the best support area for the curvature of your spine. Similarly, the upper part of the back rest curves in a way that will naturally support you. Flip up arms will support all of your activities from resting while watching a tutorial video on your main monitor, to sitting cross-legged and doodling in a notebook on your lap. The chair is a lightweight 21 pounds, which makes it maneuverable and adds to its already easy construction. It comes in three colors, but we think you’ll particularly love the clean and modern aesthetic of the white variation. Overall, if you’re looking for an ergonomic office chair under \$150, it will be hard to find something better. Plus, when this chair goes on sale, it can easily become the best ergonomic office chair under \$100. Unfortunately, however, it does tend to be better for smaller people and outright will not support those over 250 pounds. If you can handle the chair, though, it is a great buy. ![NEO CHAIR High Back Mesh Chair Adjustable Height and Ergonomic Design Home Office Computer Desk Chair Executive Lumbar Support Padded Flip-up Armrest Swivel Chair (Grey)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7) Neo Chair High Back Best budget ergonomic office chair [Buy at Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BHNZQ7CN?tag=digitrend08sub4-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1&_keeptag=1) ## How we chose these ergonomic office chairs While we broke up the categories into some of the most sought after types of office chairs, there were some common factors that we needed to look at for each chair to determine if it was right for you. Here is an up close look at our primary specification categories: ### Support At the end of the day, we buy ergonomic office chairs to get quality support for our bodies. Different chairs have different means of providing this support to us. For head and neck support, look at the headrest of your new office chair. In most cases, there will be some padding where you will rest your head and oftentimes a curved neck support. Office chairs that are also intended for gaming may even have an attachable headrest support pillow that juts out further. This helps during extended periods of lounging during gaming and may feel excessive for the hunched-over-the-keyboard work from homer. While most headrests are stable, some move up and down or are even tiltable. Lumbar support is a phrase that you’ve almost certainly heard but might not have the physiology chops to fully understand. The lumbar, or “lumbar spine” as doctors might more formally refer to it, and incorporate the spinal curve above your butt. To no great surprise, human evolution didn’t involve a lot of sitting in office chairs. As a result, this curved area of the spine can get undue pressure. The best ergonomic office chairs will offset this pressure with increased support to this region of the spine. This can be through pillows, memory foam, or increased solid support in the structure of the chair in that region. Some chairs will even offer the chance to adjust the ‘give’ of the lumbar region of chair via internal inflation. At max pressure (and inflation) the region will become stiff and offer tons of support, while low pressure will allow for a more relaxed seating position. ### Armrests Oh, the armrests you’ll see! Unfortunately, the 2D, 3D, and 4D labelling of armrests make them seem more like extraterrestrial sketch artists than comfy places for your arms. Here are common designations for styles of armrest that you’ll see when selecting an ergonomic office chair: - 2D — These typically allow for up, down, forward, and backward movement. - 3D — These also allow for up, down, forward, and backward movement, but also add another dimension of adjustability. In most cases this will be side-to-side movement (great for people with wide or thin shoulders) but can also mean clockwise or counterclockwise rotation. - 4D — 4D armrests allow for up, down, forward, backward, right, left, clockwise, and counterclockwise movement of the armrests. - Flip up — While flip up armrests don’t sound as fancy as 4D armrests, then can be ever bit as handy. As the name suggests, this style of armrest flips up 90 degrees to get out of your way. If you like to sit cross-legged in your office chair from time to type and/or type away at your business laptop from your lap, strongly consider getting a flip up armrest style for maximum comfort. ### User weight This goes without saying, but you need to get an office chair that is suitable for your body. Office chairs will come with a rating for maximum weight they can carry. Manufacturers are getting better and better about this over the years and nearly all halfway decent ergonomic office chairs will support at least 250 pounds and a minimum, with 300 pounds being the typical weight limit you can expect to get. Special ‘tall and heavy’ ergonomic office chairs exist for heavier users and many are especially designed around the needs of heavier users.
