Office chairs
Ergonomic workspace seating, compared on support, adjustability and how they hold up across a full working day.
Where to start
Each list applies the same scoring model to a different requirement.
The best office chairs
Ranked on support, adjustability and how they hold up across a full working day — with the evidence behind each placement.
The best ergonomic office chairs
Chairs whose support adjusts to the sitter rather than asking the sitter to adapt — judged on lumbar, armrest and seat-depth adjustment.
The best mesh office chairs
Mesh-backed chairs compared on tension, support and what the material trades away.
The best office chairs for tall users
Chairs with the seat width, backrest height and weight rating to suit larger frames.
How to choose an office chair
