As someone who spends their working day in front of a computer, having the right office chair is essential. To avoid developing a posture similar to a prawn, I prioritise something adjustable and ergonomic (these are non-negotiable), but style points are always a bonus.
Thankfully, there's still time to swipe one of my favourite office chairs of all time before Cyber Monday is laid to rest. The back-saving Branch Ergonomic Chair Pro is now $499 $374 on the official Branch website – a record low for the best overall pick from our best chairs for back pain guide.
Are ergonomic chairs worth the hype?
After slogging out several months with a geriatric second-hand office chair, I can confirm it's worth investing in an ergonomic model. The best ergonomic office chairs can offer preventative support to stop you from developing back pain, and while they can help existing pain (in part), it's best to consult a doctor if you're already suffering.
Knowing how to choose an office chair for your needs can be a daunting task with so many options on the market, but it's just as much about learning how to sit properly in an office chair that'll create the most comfortable experience.
In short, you want to look for a chair with good lumbar support that puts your lower back in a good neutral position. Supporting this natural curve will alleviate the stress on the spine for a long-lasting, comfortable experience.
