In 2025, with remote and hybrid work more prevalent than ever, your office chair isn't just furniture—it's your command center for 8+ hours a day. A poor chair leads to aches, slouching, and burnout, while the right one enhances focus, posture, and health. We tested dozens of models in real-world scenarios, evaluating ergonomics, build quality, adjustability, and value.

Whether you're a budget-conscious starter or investing in a lifelong piece, we've covered it all.
From premium icons like Herman Miller to affordable standouts, this list spans budget (<$200)**, **mid-range ($200-$600)**, and **premium (>$1,000) tiers. Read on for our top 7 picks, buying tips, and FAQs to chair-shop with confidence.
