16 Best Ergonomic Office Chairs (Review) In 2021

One of the best ergonomic office chairs we reviewed is this multi-featured model from Nouhaus. The NOUHAUS Ergo3D Ergonomic Office Chair makes neck problems a thing of the past, with an adjustable headrest that you can both move and angle up and down. The dynamic lumbar support system is cleverly designed to pivot with you and respond to how much pressure you put on it, meaning you are consistently comfortable throughout the day. The armrests are adjustable in three different directions, whilst the entire chair moves smoothly up and down thanks to its class 4 hydraulics. The mesh back of this office chair will keep you feeling cool no matter the temperature and the 5 point base provides complete stability.

With an integrated cushion for lumbar support and a headrest that can be adjusted backwards, forwards and up and down, the Smugdesk High Back Ergonomic Mesh Office Chair is designed to make your working day a lot more comfortable. The height of this upholstered chair is adjustable and the seat itself has a memory foam filling, designed to suit you perfectly. The mesh fabric upholstery not only helps you keep cool as you work, but it’s very durable too.

The Ticova High Back Ergonomic Office Chair, a high-quality office chair is adjustable at almost every point, which makes it easy to customize them to suit your particular body type. The breathable mesh back is strong and very comfortable, whilst the thick, soft padding on the armrests provides you with plenty of arm support. The backrest is very simple to adjust and the chair offers a large tilting angle so you can recline in comfort when needed. The strong frame and heavy-duty base make this a strong and stable office chair that will give you lots of service.

The Gaiam Classic Ergonomic Balance Ball Chair is an office chair with a difference, as it incorporates the benefits of a balance ball into your working day. A balance ball chair is designed to reduce back pain by promoting proper postural alignment and preventing the discomfort that occurs when sitting in one position all day. When you sit on a balance ball you need to make constant, tiny movements to maintain balance, and it’s these movements that keep your body engaged, and your mind too!

This Steelcase Ergonomic Gesture Chair in Graphite has a range of innovative features to keep you as comfortable as possible throughout the day. A torsional spring powers the core equalizer, which adjusts according to the seat’s angle. This means that it supplies less back support when reclined, but increased support for the lower back when upright. The controls for the Steelcase Gesture chair are easy to use – the seat height and depth is controlled by the front knob while the back knob controls the tension and variable back stop.

The Bowery Fully Adjustable Management Office Chair has a flexible backrest that provides support but allows your body to breathe and keeps you feeling comfortable all throughout your working day. The seat is designed to be comfortably firm and supportive, while the back reclines to 4 different positions that can be locked into place. Both the height of the armrests and the depth of the seat can also be adjusted, so you can tailor this office chair perfectly to suit your needs.

This model makes a fantastic executive chair in the office but is equally useful as a gaming chair to use in your free time! The Homall High Back Lumbar Support Gaming & Office Chair has a very cool, modern aesthetic and is designed to allow you to rock back and forth between 90 and 150 degrees. The racing-style design carries right through to its PU wheels and it offers both a lumbar support cushion and a comfortable headrest pillow.

The SIHOO High Back Ergonomic Office Computer Chair offers adjustable headrests and backrests, with three different tilting angles that are easily adjusted using the hand lever. Unlike with some computer chairs for the office, the height of the lumbar support on this model can be adjusted, enabling you to get a perfect fit for your body type and comfort for your lower back.

One of the biggest complaints with ergonomic office chairs is that the arms often prevent them from being neatly pushed under the desk. Not so with the Hbada Mesh & Lumbar Support Ergonomic Desk Chair, where the arms conveniently flip up and out of the way! The height is adjustable and you can either use this seat with the back locked in an upright position or pull out the lever to initiate a rocking motion.

Considered by some to be the best ergonomic office chair for those with back issues, a kneeling chair is designed to give your body the postural advantage of being in a standing position with your standing desk combined with the comfort of sitting down! The DRAGONN (by VIVO) Ergonomic Kneeling Chair reduces back pain by encouraging you to engage your core muscles when you sit – thereby strengthening them – and by evenly distributing your weight through your buttocks and legs.

Whereas many office chairs have multiple points of adjustment, there are usually a few aspects that can’t be changed. The Duramont Adjustable Ergonomic Office Chair, however, is one of the best ergonomic office chairs in terms of adjustability – you can alter the angle and height of the headrest, the height and depth of the lumbar support, the height of the armrests, and the distance from the body of the chair, the backrest tilt, the chair height, and the tilt tension! With it possible to make so many adjustments, you really can alter this office chair until it is absolutely perfect for your body type and build.

The BestOffice Rolling Swivel Ergonomic Office Chair is both affordable and comfortable, offering a high-density cushion and a mesh back designed to support the lumbar region. Unlike many office chairs, it is compact in size, making it perfect if your office is on the small size. With adjustable height and a tilt mechanism, it is a comfortable chair designed to keep away the aches and pains associated with a long day of sitting at a desk.

The Tribesigns Breathable Mesh Ergonomic Office Desk Chair has a classy look, but it’s not just good looking – it is designed to be very comfortable too, with good support for the lower back, adjustable arms and an adjustable headrest. Both the headrest and the armrests are optional – an unusual feature that can be useful, particularly if the armrests would prevent you from sliding the chair underneath your desk. But if you do choose to use them, it’s good to know that the armrests are padded for your comfort.

Possible the best ergonomic office chair, if you’re on a budget, is this high back model, with leather upholstery, a bucket seat and comfortable padded armrests. The Furmax Adjustable Swivel Ergonomic Desk Chair doubles up as a gaming chair and has a seat design that’s based on racing cars, making it suitable for use for hours on end, whether working or playing your favorite video game! The height of this upholstered chair can be adjusted from 15.2″ to 18.3″ and there is plenty of padding to keep you cushioned and comfortable.

With a back designed to keep your spine in perfect alignment, the Hbada Skin-Friendly Mesh Ergonomic Office Desk Chair is adjustable at multiple points. You can recline it from 90 degrees to 125 degrees and adjust the height of the armrests, which is ideal if you want them to sit at a level low enough to push the chair under your desk. The headrest is not just adjustable up and down but can be angled too, which we think is one of the best ergonomic features to look for in an office chair.

One of the best office chairs we reviewed in terms of value for money is this ergonomic chair from Orveay. The ORVEAY Mid-Back Ergonomic Office Chair is designed to allow your body to mold perfectly to the chair, offering support in all the right places, and can be reclined up to 125 degrees. The height can be adjusted from 17.92 inches to 21.65 inches, using a simple lever mechanism and the ventilated fabric is designed to stop you from overheating during a long day at work.
