What to Look for When Buying a Home Office Chair

 For starters, you need to consider support. Sitting on any old chair for hours at a time can seriously take a toll on your back, neck, shoulders, and wrists. That’s why it’s important to look for an ergonomic model that will support your lower to upper back. And since chairs aren’t one size fits all, you also need to look for an adjustable chair. 

Ideally, a good office chair should have an adjustable height, adjustable tilt, and adjustable armrests. Your seat should be set up in a way that your hips are level with your thighs or slightly higher for optimal comfort and support. The tilt control should be slightly reclined instead of fully upright to protect your back. The armrests should have adjustable heights to decrease any tension in your shoulders, try out several height adjustments to find the fit that works best for you.

Next, think about padding and materials. Mesh seating and backing is breathable and easy to clean, while leather backing is just as low maintenance as a cozier material. You could also get a fabric office chair that’s soft to the touch and can be spot cleaned.

Finally, be sure the office chair you choose fits comfortably at your desk. Consider the chair and desk measurements before making your purchase.
