If your head, shoulders, lower back, and butt aren't killing you right now, you're most likely reading this from the luxury of a supportive seat following the 90/90 rule like a pro. Physical body support has been a stumbling block on the route to working remotely, and it's one that we're still overcoming.
We embarked on a virtual hunt for the top-rated rolling office chairs with reviewer-comfort seals of approval to assist in the battle of deterioration of our backs while we work from home.
20 Best Rolling Office Chairs for You
1. ErgoChair Pro
Autonomous isn't a new company, but it's established a niche in the market for low-cost, high-quality office chairs.
ErgoChair Pro has all the mass-adjustability you'd expect from a chair you'll be sitting in for eight hours a day — the armrests move, the seat pan moves, the seat cushion moves, and, perhaps most importantly, the lumbar support glides up and down the chair's spine. All of this, combined with a mesh back and a low price of under $400, makes Autonomous' rolling desk chair one of the best value buys available.
2. ErgoChair Ultra
The high-tech design of the chair is part of the explanation for the high price tag. The backrest molds itself to your body and applies pressure according to your shape. Your back will always receive a balanced amount of pressure and support in this manner. If you want to kick back and relax, the ErgoChair Ultra offers 11 lockable reclining positions.
3. ErgoChair Recline
This ErgoChair Recline comes in two colors and features adjustable height, a headrest, armrests, and a footstool to help support the body from head to toe. The reclining ergonomic chair also shifts and adapts based on your weight to keep your back, arms, shoulders, and neck from being strained.
4. AvoChair
Primarily, AvoChair is the company's most expensive item. It distinguishes itself from other rolling desk chairs by being completely equipped with cutting-edge features and functions that are not present in any other company's rolling office chair.
The AvoChair is an eco-friendly office chair. Nature-inspired its clean, basic, flowing forms, which were meticulously designed with health in mind. It gives a modern seating option for shorter people that promotes natural good health. The AvoChair is designed to provide maximum support to each sitter's body, regardless of their height.
5. Steelcase Gesture
This Steelcase Gesture costs more than $1,000, but if you sit for extended amounts of time, the investment is well worth it—the support, flexibility, and comfort will last more than a decade. The Gesture has remained a favorite among many.
It's one of the most comfortable, supportive, and long-lasting office chairs we've tested: everything about it has lasted the test of time, from the back support to the high-quality fabric to the trustworthy adjustment knobs. The Gesture rolling chair with arms also has the widest range of fabrics and other finishing options of any of the chairs we reviewed, allowing you to personalize it for your office.
6. Herman Miller Sayl
If our top recommendations are out of your budget, the Herman Miller Sayl offers similar comfort and durability for about half the price. It doesn't have as much flexibility as the Steelcase Gesture, but it was nonetheless comfortable for test panelists of all sizes and heights.
The Sayl is a terrific fit for normal office work as a high-quality, swivel rolling chair with substantial lumbar support—and its plastic-webbed back stays cooler than cloth cushions. This reclining rolling chair with arms demands your attention, and the choice of color variations allows you to make it blend in or stand out if you want the space-age style.
7. HON Ignition 2.0
Initially, not everyone can afford to buy an ergonomic rolling computer that costs $500, let alone $1,000. If you're searching for something more affordable, the HON Ignition 2.0 is an improvement to the HON Exposure and makes the fewest compromises of any inexpensive office chair we evaluated. The Ignition 2.0 offers all the typical features we look for in a rolling desk chair, such as seat depth adjustment, tilt tension, tilt lock, seat height adjustment, and height-adjustable armrests.
We found it to be extremely comfortable for all-day usage, with supportive, adjustable lumbar support; be sure the product description mentions "adjustable lumbar" to ensure you get the model with that feature. People of below-average height, however, may have difficulties sitting comfortably with their feet flat on the floor because the seat starts at 17 inches high.
8. Flash Furniture Mid-Back Rolling Chair
This simple rolling computer chair provides ergonomic support for a fraction of the price. It has a ventilated mesh back that is curved for ergonomic support, a 3-inch-thick cushioned seat, and padded armrests that can be flipped up to make the center seat larger.
You can also adjust the seat height, lock the chair in an upright position, and modify the rearward tilt resistance. More than 10,000 Amazon reviews have given this chair a 4.3-star average rating.
9. Branch Ergonomic Chair
If you don't need all the bells and whistles, Branch's basic choice is less than half the price of other office ergonomic chairs on our list and is available in three colors: Black, Grey, and Light Blue.
The rolling computer has seven points of adjustment, including tilt, lumbar support, and seat depth. Moreover, it has received a 4.7-star average rating from over 1,300 reviewers on Branch's site. The curved foam cushion can hold up to 300 pounds, and the mesh back allows for airflow. A seven-year warranty is also included with the aluminum base and caster wheels for the chair.
10. Ficmax Massage Gaming Chair
This Ficmax gaming-first ergonomic swivel rolling chair, which has a 4.2-star average rating from over 1,300 Amazon reviewers, can rock, tilt, or swivel (but only up to 180 degrees) and support up to 300 pounds. You can recline into the optimal position to win. This is thanks to a retractable footrest and adjustable armrest and the 4.8-inch-thick memory foam seat. It should keep you comfy even during your longer games.
If you have more money or want to give someone a gift, the Herman Miller and Logitech partnership with ergonomic support, Embody Gaming Chair, is a good option.
11. SOHO Ribbed Management Office Chair
Check out this Soho rolling office chair if you're looking for something a little more fashionable. It has a sleek, mid-century modern aesthetic that designers adore, and it's available in a range of colors to complement your style.
Although the Soho chair isn't as configurable as the Steelcase or Herman Miller chairs, it still has enough options to let everyone find a comfortable position. The height can be adjusted, the seat swivels, the arms may be removed, and the entire unit tilts to recline. In addition, the ergonomically shaped back provides lumbar support for correct sitting posture.
Its ribbed leatherette gives surprisingly good airflow, and the frame is made of robust chrome steel and aluminum (not plastic). The chair isn't an ergonomic wonder, but it's incredibly comfy for all-day work.
This Soho swivel rolling chair is a terrific addition to any office, but it's design also allows you to use it as a hybrid dinner table/office chair.
12. Herman Miller Aeron
The back and seat of the Aeron rolling office chair feature an adaptive matrix of pixels that move with you. This guarantees that pressure is always distributed evenly, boosting circulation, and giving your body a light feeling.
Furthermore, the designers of this chair drew inspiration from the human body to produce a backrest that is perfectly suited to your shape. The chair's back uses a core spine and flexible ribs to always maintain a neutral posture. This spine, as well as the seat and armrests, can be adjusted for a unique fit.
It's not quite a mid-century modern eye-catcher, but it's sleek and fashionable enough for any home when it comes to ergonomic office chairs.
13. Novelland Office Chair
This Novelland chair is very good for your back when it comes to adjustability. While most comfortable office chairs simply enable you to adjust the height, this one also makes it possible to control the lumbar pillow on the lower back, as well as the armrests and headrest, to provide total support and range of motion for your body. The backrest can also be tilted at 130 degrees for a more lounging position.
14. Gabrylly Ergonomic Chair
The Gabrylly adjustable chair with wheels may suit your needs and for someone who enjoys flexibility. It provides four points of support (for the head, back, hips, and hands), allowing your entire body to be more comfortable for longer. Furthermore, the seat cushion is quite large and can support up to 280 pounds.
15. Human Scale Freedom Task Chair
If you want to splurge, this Freedom Task Chair comes with several unique features that will make sitting at a desk job a breeze. As an example, the chair lacks any knobs or levers, as well as any other manual adjustments. Rather, it adapts to your body while you sit, assisting in the proper alignment of your spine.
16. Oak Hollow Furniture Aloria Series
This rolling office chair has four locking positions and a padded lumbar support cushion that you can adjust up and down, making it ideal for both short and tall users. You can also adjust the seat depth by moving the seating area back and forth to give your lower back and torso extra space away from the backrest.
17. Alera Elusion Chair
It seems to be like any other chair you'd find at Staples, but it's not. Alera's Elusion chair takes features from chairs five times its price, such as a full mesh back for ventilation, a waterfall-edge seat cushion to maintain consistent levels of leg circulation, and more comfort customization.
The rolling office chair’s only drawbacks are its aesthetics (it's pretty dull to look at) and the use of low-cost materials, which means it's unlikely to be a good long-term seating solution.
18. Branch Daily Chair
Branch's Daily Chair is a good option for anyone searching for a rolling office chair that will relieve the stress (in more ways than one) of working from home without breaking the bank. There are a variety of office chairs that cost the same or less, but the Daily Chair is genuinely a chair that you can use daily.
It has a simple and beautiful appearance that makes it enjoyable to look at and sit in. Unlike other adjustable chair with wheelss, the chair has a lightweight feeling about it that does not make it feel cheap. It is, however, not particularly strong, which accounts for its 225-pound weight capacity.
The Daily Chair is very comfortable to sit on in terms of ergonomics. It offers the fundamental characteristics of an office chair, such as a recliner with adjustable tension, seat level changes, and armrest movement without becoming too technical with customizations. The nylon-weave back is lightweight and snug-fitting, and the cushion is firm and supportive.
19. Office Star Pro-Line II
This Office Star ProGrid High Back Managers Chair is a mid-priced rolling office chair with a high-quality structure and ample office chair lumbar support. The chair's strong mesh ProGrid back is breathable and comes with built-in lumbar support to keep you comfy for long periods. To find the optimal position for your height and workstation set-up, change the seat height from 18.25 inches to 22 inches.
The pressurized controls can also be used to modify the seat depth, seat tilt, and armrests in addition to the seat height. The chair swivels 360 degrees and has a 250-pound weight capability.
20. SeatingPlus Executive Chair
Consider the SeatingPlus Ergonomic Executive Chair if you're looking for a more affordable choice. Individual coils and thick memory foam are used to create a pleasant seating experience. The armrests are padded as well and may be flipped up out of the way when not in use. The comfortable backrest can be adjusted from 90 to 130 degrees using pneumatic controls. The seat may also be raised or lowered by 3.15 inches, and the chair swivels 360 degrees.
The rolling office chair is constructed of soft, breathable PU leather with white stitching around the sides, and it features a high, wide back, and extra-wide seat.
