While Herman Miller chairs are also best in class, what makes this office chair amazing is that it has been built for maximum comfort when used for extended hours.
The chair has spine-like back support which is comfortable even when you sit for long hours usage. Since this is specifically made for gamers and for office folks, they have ensured you get maximum comfort and minimum strain even when working/playing for extended hours. You can adjust the chair height as well as the armrest height. The arms can be adjusted outward/inward to make sure there it’s comfortable while you use the keyboard and mouse.
It’s not a cheap option, but it’s definitely worth the money.

Spending long hours sitting in front of the computer can easily cause back, neck, shoulder, and leg pain. Selecting a chair that can meet the physical demands of a strenuous work environment may seem like a daunting task. Meet the Steelcase Leap. The Leap is Steelcase’s #1 selling ergonomic chair for a reason. It uses LiveBack technology, which allows the chair to conform to each person’s unique body positions and ultimately reduces the pressure that can lead to physical pain.
The Steelcase Leap is also incredibly flexible. With its gliding technology, the chair adjusts to your reclining, sitting, and relaxing positions, taking pressure off the spine. This is where the Steelcase Leap outperforms its competitors; every part of the chair can be adjusted so you are always comfortable.

If you want to remain fit and balanced despite hours seated in your office, I suggest the Vaiers Kneeling Chair.
As a 500-hour certified yoga professional who creates online courses for other teachers, I spend hours at my desk. This means I want to keep a tall spine and offer a variety of positions for my leg. The Variers kneeling chair allows me to do this. I can also move forward–to type with great posture–and rock back, to think and relax.
If you splurge on this chair, I highly recommend purchasing the high-back option.

#5 Ergonomics Mesh Chair

Recently, I was looking for the most relaxed office chair with enough back support for my 8+ hours a day working schedule. The high back is something that allows for a nice neck and upper backrest or for a quick nap. I loved the design and its reviews where people stated it allowed them to sit seamlessly without feeling their lower back hurt. The mesh breathes well as opposed to the leather which I like as well and doesn’t cause me to be cold on chillier months. It’s ergonomically designed so it fits the spine very well and supports the back. It is also a quick set up!’
Being a busy physician it’s really important to have a chair to sit in after standing for prolonged periods of time or to finish up charts till the wee hours in the morning!

The Herman Miller brand is known not only for top-tier design, but also for ergonomic comfort. Though it’s not cheap, the Herman Miller Embody Chair is one of the best chairs for folks who sit for extended periods of time. Designed specifically to reduce spine compression, one of the leading negatives of sitting in a chair, the Embody will keep you more comfortable for longer, and look good while doing it.
