Having sat extensively in this chair, I can tell you that the back provides good support over long periods of time. If space saving is a priority for your work from home area then this could be a good option because the armrests flip up at 90-degrees, so once you’ve finished work you can lower the chair and tuck it right into the desk. That’s why, where applicable, our extensive range of office chairs can be customised to suit your needs, with features such as armrests, seat depth adjustment, headrests and tilt functions available, many manufacturers now taking the environment seriously lots of our products have recyclable content. There are some really innovative and oh-so-comfortable ergonomic chairs on the market but finding your perfect chair is kind of like a Goldilocks situation.

We were immediately impressed with the clean lines and contours of its design, offering up a very slim profile when it’s tucked into a desk, which could be good for those who are working in a confined space. A well-designed, value, chair that won’t look out of place if you’re working at a kitchen or dining table, the långfjåll is fully customisable so you can add armrests, if required.There’s a mesh backrest and seat which makes for a very comfortable sitting experience and the chair was breathable, which will appeal to many workers, particularly as we head into heatwave season. While it has the highest back score, it doesn’t include a lumbar support adjustment or back height adjustment. Looking at the components of the chair, from the ground up, the caster and base of the chair are well built. By leaving the desk you’re less likely to forget about maintaining your posture throughout the day – anything to avoid the dreaded slouch.

The first thing you’ll notice about any Humanscale chair (or maybe you won’t, such is the subtle design) is the absence of levers, knobs and dials. Personally, we like the statement it makes in a room or office and we liked it even more when we sat in it and experienced the elastomer strands that are all tensioned differently so that your spine feels nicely cradled as you shift position, as well as providing responsive comfort and lots of breathability for warm working afternoons.

Considering the Vera is a mid-market office chair, it really doesn’t come as a surprise that the chair is middle of the road for build quality.If you’re around this height, we’d recommend looking at a footrest to ensure your feet sit flat on the floor. This Vera executive chair shines in any interior with the contemporary design, combining a black leather seat with mesh backing for pleasantly soft seating. A synchro-tilt mechanism allows the back to recline and lock out the tilt function to your preferred recline angle. So, if you’ve had issues with your arm pads breaking over time, the Vera chair could be a better option.

Including almost every ergonomic adjustment you could need, the Vera chair is a fully loaded ergonomic chair. If you find that the arms of your chair get beat up for hitting your desk, the Vera might be a good option. What we loved most with this chair though was the arch-shape design of the headrest which offered excellent relief from tech neck and seemed to really help in reducing the pressure from our daily sit. Even though it didn’t include an adjustable lumbar system, there was plenty of support through the entire back. The hands-down winner in the backrest comfort score was the Vera chair’s comfortable backrest; this was a surprise to everyone.We spent a couple of weeks with a range of chairs to find out which ones have really got your back when it comes to the daily sit down.
