Simple, affordable, but still effective, this compact and ergonomic option is designed with a curve to provide optimal lumbar support and spine alignment. It has a breathable mesh back, swivels, and is height adjustable. More than 54,000 shoppers rave about this desk chair, commenting on how easy it is to assemble, as well as it's comfortability and supportiveness.
However, according to some shoppers — if you're plus-sized, this might not be the buy for you.

- Doesn't tilt (it leans)
Fitted with a thick seat pad and handy armrests, this ergonomic option will be your new work bestie. It's a pretty basic pick though it ticks (nearly) all of our boxes. It swivels, spins, and can sit at any height you like. Most of the 61,000+ customers who left a review agree that it's great value for money.
On the flip side, some shoppers complain about the adjustability and durability. They say the armrests are lower than they would like, and the chair doesn't fully lean back.

This no-frills Amazon office chair takes the prize for best value at $16.88 (price checked March 1, 2024. It comes with a load of familiar features you'd expect in premium seats, including a mesh foam (rockable) backrest, built-in lumbar support, and a solid base. And, if you're short of space, you'll find the streamlined armrests won't get in the way.
Customers like the value, ease of assembly, quality, and performance of the chair. But again, if you're plus-sized, it might be worth paying a little more for a wider seat. This was the main theme in the 2-star reviews.

Struggle to move from the soft office (aka bed) to the real office? You'll no longer have that issue when you're WFH. This squishy seat is more supportive than you think. Aesthetically, it's very similar to the cloud bed by Restoration Hardware. But it's not all style over substance. This ergonomically designed chair has a wide backrest, lumbar support, and a saddle-shaped seat which means that it is designed for prolonged work or study sessions.
Some Amazon customers say it's so comfortable that you could take a 20-minute power nap in it. It's a suitable choice for larger people, and the footrest is functional. However, many find the base quite high, which makes their desk feel too low.

Is there anything Queen Martha can't do? From cookware lines to Booking.com competition stays in her home, America's adopted grandma also has her own Amazon furniture brand, which includes officeware. While the iconic chocolate-brown seat is currently sold out, if you're in your soft girl era, the white boucle model will suit your workspace better. After 5 pm, this desk chair doubles up as an accent chair in any modern scheme.
At the time of checking, there were only 85 reviews, but most customers agreed that putting the chair together was easy and that the upholstery was of good quality. However, it's not as ergonomic as some of the other chairs in this guide, and might not suit someone who works long hours at their desk.

This FOKESUN Ergonomic Office Chair is an absolute workhorse for the money that you're paying. As well as having a thick molded foam seat, adjustable headrest, lumbar support, and, tilt and lock function, it also doubles up as a coat hanger so you can pop a jacket (or blanket) on the back of your seat.

Give your home office a glow-up with this warm tan leather office chair. To me, it's the perfect mix of midcentury modern with Western vibes. But if the retro brown isn't for you, choose from classic black, chic white, sultry chocolate brown, smart gray... or be brave with a pop of pastel pink. Looks aside shoppers, commend its easy assembly and functionality. But, if you work long shifts, you might want to go for one with a higher back.
Customer reviews align with the pros and cons we've outlined above. However, some have issues with the stability of the product. They agree that it doesn't slope, and there is no give when they lean back. You may even slide forward in the seat.

You can't go wrong with this simple yet sturdy Amazon buy. It's padded for sink-in-ability and is made from soft faux leather. Reviewers say it's worth the money and it's super comfortable (even if some struggled with assembling it).
Customers commend the modern aesthetic of this seat and are content with the sub-$100 price point. However, the screws provided don't go in easily, feel cheap, and strip easily.

If you're working and sitting for hours, this high-back executive ergonomic chair may be the answer to your back pain. It comes with a removable headrest and lumbar cushion, both of which are perfect for offering the back support you need. It's quite bulky, so you might want to avoid it if your home is small as it will become the focal point of a room. It tilts back 150º, swivels, and is height adjustable. With 70,000+ positive reviews, this is a true bestseller and reviewers say it's easy to put together. The pink version is one of the most aesthetic gaming accessories for gifting.
Despite the high-tech look of this chair, customers say it's easy to assemble with legible instructions. But, there are some grievances about the durability and stability of the chair. Some mention that after a few years, the armrests will show damage (including looseness), and a few say the cylinder pump may need replacing over time.

If you are after an office chair that is comfortable, supportive, and stylish, this Hbada model is ideal. It's adjustable in height and has a 120-degree tilt tension to customize to you and your desk. Working never felt so comfy. It has over 17,000 customer reviews and is rated 4 stars out of five. Shoppers say it's easy to assemble, it offers great back support and it's amazing value for money.
Overall, customers like the appearance, back support, and ease of assembly of the chair. Nonetheless, the noises this chair makes can be concerning. Shoppers say that it makes loud disconcerting clunking noises, creaks, and squeaks. So if you're someone who partakes in remote meetings, you might want to mute your microphone when you're not speaking.

Spinal health is so important when working from home. Yes, we might be candid when talking about croissant-shaped backs, but it pays to have good posture. Many workplaces have staff who can conduct ergonomic assessments, but if you're freelance/self-employed, you need to look after #1. A good chair like this will help you do so.
Though the majority of customers appear satisfied with their purchase, a few said they have owned cheaper chairs that are more comfortable. Looking through these critical reviews, many mentioned that the cushion flattened over time and that it felt as though they were sitting on a hard, plastic chair.

If you haven't seen this seat before, feast your eyes on the TikTok Amazon office chair flooding everyone's FYP. The Emiah Armless Office Desk Chair has a super wide padded seat which means you can sit cross-legged at your desk, and push it under your desk when you've clocked off. It's available with, or without wheels and comes in cream/brown leather, or a "fuzzy", boucle-style material.
It only has 850 reviews, but they are positive with lots of people saying it's super comfortable, and they can sit cross-legged at work.
What to consider before buying an Amazon office chair
Ergonomic, executive, task, and stackable styles: If you live with back pain, an executive chair's height and padding will give you great support. However, we'd suggest an ergonomic option if sitting for long periods. These fit the curve of your lower back, relieving pressure and pain. But if support isn't a priority, a standard swivel chair with caster wheels should suffice.
Adjustability: Almost every chair on this list has height and arm adjustment, which should be at the top of your checklist. Picking customizable functions for your chair and work desk will make all the difference in your posture. And, if more than one person is planning on using the chair, this feature is essential.
Material: This mainly comes down to whether it fits with your home aesthetic. However, the type of outer textile and fill material can impact comfort.
Size and weight: Typically, most people want a lightweight chair with collapsible armrests for ease. But some people might prefer a sturdier seat.
Shipping costs: Not everything gets delivered for free at Amazon, so check expected dispatch costs and lead times before you buy.
Our guide on where to buy an office chair provides an extensive list of places to shop if you haven't found what you were looking for on Amazon.
