The 10 Best Home Office Chairs to Upgrade Your Work-at-Home Space

For an overall comfy and customizable office chair that checks all the boxes, we suggest the Alera Elusion Series Mesh Mid-Back Multifunction Chair. This office chair is very customizable thanks to a multifunction lever system underneath the seat that allows you to adjust your tilt, forward tilt, and back angle in relation to the seat for additional lumbar support. Speaking of the seat, the contoured padded seat cushion is upholstered with premium fabric and features a " waterfall edge," where the front edges are rounded and curved downwards. This helps to eliminate pressure on the back of your legs and helps improve blood circulation when you're sitting for a long time. The Alera Elusion Series Mesh Mid-Back Multifunction Chair moves around on five caster wheels, and the chair's armrests are both height and width adjustable.

Although two of the eight available color options are slightly above $100, the Furmax Office Mid Back Swivel Lumbar Support Desk, Computer Ergonomic Mesh Chair is still our top pick for a budget home office chair. This office chair features a mesh fabric used for both the back of the chair for added breathability and covering the high-density foam padding of the chair's seat. Two lumbar supports built into the chair's back offer a wing-back design for ergonomic support while you are working. The chair height is fully adjustable through a lever underneath the seat, as is the chair's ability to tilt back to 130 degrees. And this value office chair features five 360-degree wheels for excellent mobility that are also very quiet on hard flooring, which is ideal for above-ground-level apartment dwellers.

With more than 1,500 reviews and 4.5 stars on Amazon, the Ticova Ergonomic Office Chair is a solid choice for home workers who need more support for their back during the day. For starters, the backrest on this home office chair is fully adjustable, allowing it to hug your spine throughout your workday for pain and fatigue relief and giving your back the love it needs. The chair's seat is made from a high-density foam with a W-shape and waterfall edge design to provide less pressure on your legs. Pretty much everything on this chair is adjustable, including the padded armrests and seat cushion height and headrest, which is made of curved foam for increased head and neck support.

For home workers who have longer legs, finding a home office chair that is comfortable to sit in for long periods of time can be challenging.

Upholstered with a combination of leather and mesh, the HON Wave Mesh Big and Tall Executive Chair also offers a customizable lower back lumbar support and adjustable recline.

With standing desks being a great option for home workers who want to combat some of the health issues surrounding sitting for long periods of time, there are now office chairs designed to provide a quick seat for those who need a break from standing all day. The Seville Classics Airlift 360 Wobble Sit-Stand Adjustable Ergonomic Active Balance Non-Slip Desk Stool offers just that, while also keeping you moving and burning calories with its 10 degrees off-center wobble that keeps your core, back, and leg muscles engaged the whole time. Adjustable from 20 to 28 inches in height with just the push of a pneumatic adjustment, the desk stool features a half-dome mesh fabric seat with a foam cushion for added comfort. And the Airlift 360 Wobble Sit-Stand Adjustable Ergonomic Active Balance Non-Slip Desk Stool features a non-slip base so you don't move around while wobbling.

If your back hurts while sitting on your bottom in an office chair all day, consider a kneeling chair. A kneeling chair is designed with cushioned shin supports and allows you to shift your weight forward, helping take strain off your back and improve your posture. The Flash Furniture Mobile Wooden Ergonomic Kneeling Office Chair is a backless office chair made of wood with an upholstered and padded seat and knee rest. The single knee rest measures about 18 inches wide, allowing you to easily adjust your knees to whatever width you like. The height of this kneeling office chair can be adjusted from 20 to 26 inches, and it has two caster wheels for easy mobility. When you're done with working for the day, the Flash Furniture chair can be completely folded for storage or to pick up and move somewhere else.

When it comes to comfortable chairs designed to sit in for an extended period of time, computer and console gaming chairs know where it's at. And many of today's gaming chairs can easily double as a solid home office chair, even if gaming is not entirely your thing. The Secretlab OMEGA 2020 Series is a perfect example, with its four-way adjustable armrests, adjustable height, and memory foam lumbar and head pillows for comfortable support. The seat and back of the chair are padded with Secretlab's patent-pending "cold-cure foam mix," a moldable foam that’s designed to be restful yet firm for the reinforcement your posture needs during long seated sessions. The Secretlab OMEGA 2020 Series is upholstered with your choice of polyurethane leather, Secretlab's SoftWeave fabric (made of soft, high-strength yarn fibers), or napa leather, all in a variety of colors and designs.

There may be a time when you don't want a home office chair with wheels.
