Sit Up Straight With One of These Ergonomic Desk Chairs
I don’t know about you, but my work from home set up has been tough on my back. I got a Purple seat cushion and that helped a lot, but I’m ready to take things a step further and upgrade my chair. Getting an ergonomic office chair is a great solution to any back pain you might be having, or if you’ve just been having a hard time sitting still. To help you select the perfect chair for your home, we’ve rounded up some of our favorites.
FOR THE BEST OF THE BEST
Herman Miller Aeron Ergonomic Chair
Why not go all in? The Aeron is the best desk chair out there, plain and simple. “The PostureFit SL technology allows for sitting like you never knew was possible: your chest will open up, your shoulders will sling back, and your pelvis will tilt slightly forward, all with no effort on your part. The adjustable pads grant unrivaled lumbar support and stabilize your spine so there’s never any discomfort. The back is breathable so you’ll never overheat, and creates eight zones of varying tension for optimal support. And the best thing about all of it is that it comes with a 12 year warranty, but will serve you for even longer.”

FOR A POP OF COLOR
Best Office Ergonomic Desk Chair
You can’t adjust the armrests in this chair, but you can adjust the color. Desk chairs are awesome except for one thing: they always come in that black color. This chair, however, comes in a variety of different colors, and boasts a great ergonomic design.
