Office jobs are all fun and games until you realise that you're spending a large chunk of the day, often hours at a time, sitting in the same spot. This also applies to any creatives working from home, and we're willing to bet that you're all sitting entirely wrong, too.

But don't worry. We're here to help guide you on how to sit properly in an office chair. The first step is owning one of the best office chairs for back pain, but this won't correct poor posture by itself. You could always bag yourself one of the best standing desks instead (we highly recommend these), but chances are you'll still want to sit down at some point during the 9 to 5, and that's where the importance of sitting properly cannot be overstated.
