So for anyone who works from home for any major period of time you know that a good office chair will be one of the staples of your home office.
Having a good office chair can make the difference between the lower back and butt pain to being able to function through those 12-hour shifts that we remote workers seem to be so keen on. So what office chairs do I recommend?
My recommendation for office chairs are the following:
Flash Furniture Mid Swivel – my unabashed favourite office desk which is not only reasonably priced but also has everything you might need from an office desk
Berlman Mid Swivel- This is my choice for the most stylish office chair which doesn’t break the bank but also helps support you for long periods of sitting down.
Best Office– a great basic option if you are looking for function over form.
Lxlux Ergonomic – a fantastic premium option that will cover everything you need an office chair to do.
So quite a few suggestions, right? Now by no means do I expect you to buy these items without explaining why I recommend them so let’s dive a little bit deeper as I justify my recommendations.
Why do I recommend the Flash Furniture office chair?
| Benefit | Why this is useful |
| A huge variety of styles | Let’s face it, more often than not your office chair will be the centrepiece of your workstation. As such it’s super important that you have a chair that is versatile and stylish enough to go with any design of office you end up going with. |
| Lumbar support | Those of us who work remotely regularly know just how important having lumbar support is. Trust me when I say your lower back will thank you for this. |
| Waterfall seat | This is fantastic for anyone with leg issues. The design basically means that the edge of the seat will take the pressure off your legs and help improve your circulation |
| Super lightweight | Another huge feature is how light the chair is meaning you should have no problem moving it around. |
Why do I recommend the Berlman Mid Swivel office chair?
| Benefit | Why this is useful |
| Super Stylish | Most chairs are ugly. There I said it… you know it’s true. Luckily the Berlman does not fit in that category with it really matching any design you have. It also looks great on camera especially if you need to record videos. |
| Large weight limit | Let’s face it, we put on weight working from home! The good news though is that the berlman has a capacity limit of up to 280 pounds meaning you won’t have to worry about the chair buckling under your weight |
| High-quality Leather | As the chair has leather furnishing it’s super comfy to sit in meaning numb bum will definitely be a thing of the past. |
| Multi-functional | Whilst I recommend this as an office desk it’s also a great choice for a gaming chair or a specific computer chair. It’s also multi-functional meaning you can adjust it to feel exactly right for you. |
Why do I recommend the Best Office office chair?
| Benefit | Why is this useful |
| It doesn’t break the bank | Unfortunately, office chairs can really add up. If you don’t want to go all out when buying a chair but still want to feel comfortable and have some movement functionality then the best office is definitely the chair you want to go for. |
| Bimfa certified | Meaning that the products have been thoroughly tested by the regulatory body ensuring the chair fits all criteria. |
| 360-degree functionality | It’s usually quite rare for cheaper office desks to have any adjustability so the fact that Amazon’s basics have a 360 swivel function is huge. |
Why do I recommend the Lxlux Ergonomic Office chair?
| Benefit | Why is this useful |
| A name you can trust | Lxlux unlike a lot of the brands you see on amazon is a bespoke furniture manufacturer meaning they have a wealth of experience other providers don’t have. |
| A premium experience | Whilst the chair falls on the high end it is worth every penny, with Lxlux only using premium materials during each process of the manufacturing process. |
| Award-winning craftsmanship | The firm has won several awards not only for the design of their chairs but also for the comfort and functionality they hold |
| A bespoke fit for you | All of the Lxlux designs come in three sizes instead of one size fits all meaning you get the best and most bespoke fit for you. |
Any other recommendations?
So the last thing I want to recommend is a chair cushion.
No matter the comfort level of your chair, if you work 12-16 hour days as a lot of home office/remote workers do, you’re going to be numb.
Having a cushion that can take some of the burdens will help.
My recommendation would be the Everlasting Cushion which fits into most chairs very easily and doesn’t break the bank. Trust me your butt will thank you!
What you should look out for in a chair?
So hopefully you’ve gone with one of the chairs I’ve recommended. That being said if you decide to go your own way there are a few things you need to look out for:
- Ensure your chair is adjustable – there is nothing worse than not having the flexibility to move your chair around
- Easy to fix – more people who work remotely don’t have a lot of spare time so having a chair that you can get up and running asap will be super important.
- A return policy – this is just good business advice, most chairs will be a significant investment so having a return policy is important, especially if you decide the chair is not for you.
