Best for Most People Branch Ergonomic Chair A good chair often means one that offers a variety of adjustments. Branch's Ergonomic Chair fits this criterion. It's surprisingly easy to assemble in minutes (the instructions are great), and there are tons of little tweaks you can make to dial it to fit.
You can push the armrest back and forward, up and down; the seat can extend out or be pushed in; you can lock the recline. There's even adjustable lumbar support. The chair does all this while managing to look sleek—there are several colors to choose from—without an outlandish price.
(There's no headrest, but you can pay to add one.) It doesn't keep my back as upright as I'd like, but the double-woven nylon mesh backrest feels nice to lean against. The seat is made of high-density foam—it's firm yet comfy—and it doesn't trap heat as much as other foam seats I've tried.
It's a great chair for a variety of body sizes; my 6'4" self enjoyed sitting on it, as did my 5'1" partner. Fair warning though: Pet hair tends to cling to the upholstery, and I've noticed the fabric on the front end of the seat tends to pill quite quickly. Branch just announced the Ergonomic Chair Pro , which improves on the original in almost every way.
However, it will not be replacing the Ergonomic Chair and acts as an upgrade option in the lineup at $499. I'll be testing it very soon so stay tuned. Best Budget Chair Union & Scale FlexFit Hyken Mesh Task Chair The humble Hyken is frequently available for.
