I spent over 5,000 hours testing all the best office chairs — here are my top picks TEST

After testing the best office chairs for the past four years, I can’t stress enough how important having a well-built, supportive chair can be, especially when you’re working for long hours at a time. However, finding the best office chair for you is no easy task which is where I can help.

Besides finding a comfortable chair, you want one with great ergonomic features to help you maintain good posture and you also want the right amount of support. Mesh chairs provide better airflow and can help keep you cool while ones with a foam seat cushion offer improved support. You’re also going to want a chair with plenty of adjustability, the right casters or wheels for carpet or hardwood and one that’s easy to clean and care for.

These are the best office chairs you can buy right now based on my extensive testing and our in-depth reviews.
