Best office chairs

Start with the Branch Ergonomic Chair Pro — the safest all-day pick: a proper ergonomic build from a chair specialist, with a seat-height range that fits most desks and a strong track record across thousands of ratings.

Who the others suit:

• Sihoo Doro C300 Pro V2 — best if you want maximum adjustability (6D arms, adjustable seat depth) and you're between 5' and 6'3".
• Sihoo M18 — the value all-rounder; high rating, 330 lb capacity, headrest included.
• NOUHAUS Ergo3D — mesh-and-aluminum feel with a reclining back, good for mixed sitting and leaning back.
• Branch Ergonomic Chair — the simpler, lighter-duty version if you don't need the Pro's extras.
• HOMRELEXA big-and-tall — for larger frames or a headrest on a tight budget.
• GTRACING GTWD-200 — if you also game and want a reclining back.

Skip anything with flip-up arms or a 3-pack if you want one serious desk chair.
