The Best Office Chairs of 2022
Looking for a great office chair? You want one that provides support, is ergonomic, and is comfortable for you. While every person has different needs in a chair, some chairs are known as wonderful all-around chairs.
Some things to consider include:
- Lumbar Support – Your chair should help support your lumbar region. For maximum utility, the lumbar support should be adjustable, since everyone’s spine has a different shape.
- Adjustability – Unless you are buying a chair just for you, you need one that you can adjust for height, weight, armrests, tilt, and even seat depth. Of course, if you are buying an office chair for your own use, you can sacrifice some adjustability if you find a chair that fits you well.
- Materials – While leather chairs have been the height of luxury for a while, new, breathable materials can actually provide a more comfortable seating surface. However, the other materials should be durable and sturdy.
Top Chair Brands
When looking for the top office chairs, you are going to hear people talk about a few high-end brands. They include
- Humanscale
- Herman Miller
- Steelcase
- Knoll
These brands are considered industry leaders, and many people compare other chair brands to them. Their prices normally reflect their industry leading reputation. However, since many people cannot spend $500 or more, much less $1000 a more on a chair, it is important to look at the best chairs in a variety of price points.
Some of our Favorites Include
Flash Furniture High Back Mesh Chair – This is an entry-level but high-quality office chair. You can pick it up on Amazon or at Walmart for less than $200. The materials are not the best quality, so you may have to replace the chair sooner than others on the list. However, if you need ergonomic support at an affordable price point, this chair should be on your short list.
Autonomous ErgoChair Pro – This chair, which comes in at just under $500 is a great mid-range chair for your office. It is completely adjustable and offers comfort and support.
X-Chair X-1 Task Chair – If lumbar support is your main concern, this $700 chair is a great option. It is highly ranked for its lumbar support, which is firm but not immobile.
Herman Miller Sayl Chair – An unusual design and great comfort, this is a great chair for an office with a mid-century modern design scheme.
Humanscale Freedom – If you have $1500 to spend on an office chair, this self-adjusting chair is fabulously comfortable. However, the price point makes it unattainable for many people.
