Our Home Office Chair Collection

While standing desks are becoming popular, thanks to their height adjustability, these desks can be quite expensive. They are also just not everyone's cup of tea.

But with the right office chairs, you can boost productivity and enhance your comfort when working from home. Let us help you find the right chair for your study so you have the lumbar support you need to focus on the tasks at hand without distraction.

Finding the Right Office Desk Chair for Your Home

The best office chairs are comfortable and match the desks and furniture in the room. Desk chairs should also fit well within the space. We've curated a range with features such as armrests or curved backs for everyone — from the freelancer and professional to the student.

If it's a sigh of relief you're looking for every time you sit down to work rather than a groan of despair. Here’s what you should consider when finding the right desk chair for your needs.

Ergonomics in the Shape, Design & Cushioning

Ergonomics is so much more than just a buzzword for office furniture. The shape and design of an office chair impact where your back, shoulders and neck receive support.

Even without padding, ergonomic chairs offer support to all the important areas of your body. This can help reduce the fatigue you feel after sitting for long periods. Added padding and cushions enhance their lumbar support even further.

To make your seat as efficient as possible, other features to look out for include an adjustable seat height with a gas lift and if the chair can recline. Recliner office chairs and adjustable chairs with or without wheels can fit with any type of desk. The adjustability ensures maximum comfort and better posture support.

Modern Materials

The materials you choose for your office chairs have a significant impact on your long-term comfort and the chair's lifespan. We stock office chair seats covered in the following:

• Mesh fabric to keep your body cool while working 

• PU leather for a modern finish

• Velvet for an elegant business feel 

You have the choice of plastic or metal legs, both offering a sturdy experience, plus the option of wheels or no wheels when considering your mobility requirements.

Durable Faux Leather Desk Chairs

A PU leather chair is a very popular furniture choice. It works as a computer chair for gaming because the firm and comfy seat allows you to sit for hours. A faux leather office chair will look and feel professional and make working at a home desk more comfortable. An office chair that can recline is essential if late nights are common.

Faux leather office chairs also offer great durability, are easy to clean and resistant to liquids. They are extremely low maintenance, especially in darker colours. Simply wipe them down with a dry cloth for liquid spills and a damp cloth as part of your regular cleaning routine.

Breathable Mesh Desk Chairs

Our executive mesh office chairs are the perfect piece of stylish, comfortable and cost-effective furniture. The mesh fabric is breathable and lightweight, enabling better ventilation that can help keep you cool even during those hot days.

Styles & Colours

Aesthetics are more important than we realise, especially in a home office environment. 

Office furniture doesn't have to be drab or boring when it comes to style. Our range includes sophisticated and professional colours such as black and grey to add a modern and chic feel to the space. We also stock vibrant office chairs with light and bright accent colours such as orange and blue for you to express your style and liven up your home office space.

The option of wheels is also a stylistic choice. Chairs with wheels curate an in-office feel, and they’re easier to move across the floor. Alternatively, office chairs for your home project a sophisticated boardroom aesthetic and would be great if you’re taking meetings all day.

No matter which room will house your new office chair, we can help you make sure it is as stylish as possible. 

Adjusting Your Desk Chair 

The default specifications of your new desk chair won’t automatically be right for you, especially if you plan on using it for long periods. You'll need to make some adjustments to the armrest, backrest, and seat so they suit your specific needs and ensure overall comfort.

• Adjust the armrest height: Your armrests should be level with your desk so that your wrists are straight when typing. If you’ve opted for a chair without armrests, ensure your arms and shoulders rest at a natural angle when you’re at your desk.

• Adjust the backrest: Any office chair worth it's salt will offer adjustable lumbar support to ensure you can correct the backrest to suit your posture requirements. Set up the backrest in a way where there’s less strain on your lower back. It should be up straight while still providing ample back support for the rest of your muscles.

• Adjust the seat depth: Seat depth refers to how far back or forward you’re sitting in the chair. You want to ensure there's about a three-finger gap between the back of your knees and the edge of the chair when your feet are firmly planted on the floor.

Making these slight adjustments could be what takes your normal office chair and makes it the best office chair that's extremely comfortable.

Office Chair FAQs

Choosing the best desk or computer chair may be difficult, so we’ve answered some of the most common questions to provide some guidance.

What is the difference between orthopaedic and ergonomic office chairs?

An ergonomic chair is designed to reduce strain and stress on the musculoskeletal system of workers sitting at their desks for long stretches. An ergonomic office chair is best for a home office setting if your job requires prolonged sitting. They’ll help maintain good posture while maintaining the natural curve of the lower back.

Orthopaedic chairs are used to provide support for medical conditions such as chronic back pain and other orthopaedic conditions. These chairs would usually have additional support, such as memory foam cushions and contoured features to be more supportive for the user.

Should I get an office chair with or without armrests?

Armrests are great for providing support and comfort, provided they’re adjusted correctly. Armrests can also help reduce strain on your neck and shoulders by supporting your arms while typing or moving your mouse.

However, office chairs without armrests will fit a larger variety of desks. Chairs with armrests may be inconvenient if they block the chair from going under your desk. So, no armrest options are better for smaller workstations.

Ultimately, the armrest decision depends on your preferences and spatial requirements.
