The best office chairs for all-day comfort and support, tested

After three months of testing and countless hours sitting, our endurance sitter picked the best office chairs for every budget

What’s the most important thing when you’re spending hours sitting in front of a computer? Is it having the fastest internet? The sharpest screen? The perfect keyboard? No. When you’re spending most of your day sitting on your bottom, the most crucial element is what’s directly underneath.

With a good office chair, you can handle a long working day without any feelings of discomfort. With a bad one, you can expect backache, neck ache, tender glutes and assorted nagging pains. Who wants to return to work when the last day left you feeling achy and decrepit?
