Best Ergonomic Office Chair
It is difficult to find one chair that is perfect for everyone. In fact, its impossible. However, through in-house testing and the analysis of sales reports and user reviews we can make a few recommendations for the best ergonomic chair. The chairs being considered when making this "best of" decision were from different price groups, but shared a fairly common feature list.
Our #1 recommendation for best ergonomic chair is the Aeron Chair by Herman Miller.
Next we would recommend the Freedom Chair by Humanscale, followed by the Leap Chair from Steelcase, the Mirra Chair (also by Herman Miller) and finally Neutral Posture chairs. These are some of the best-selling and most popular models on the market.
We also really like the Terra task chair by VIA Seating. This is by no means the most expensive chair out there, but its not a cheapo either. It is a very well-made, highly popular ergonomic chair that is in the $300 to $700 price range. The thing that is great about this chair is that its not a one-size-fits-all solution. When purchasing this chair you have the option of three seat sizes, three back support sizes, four adjustable seat mechanisms, three arm options, and dozens of colors and fabric grades. Depending on which options you choose you can acquire this chair for as low as about $300, or as much as $700 if you choose the very advanced features or high-end fabrics.
VIA Seating is a major player in the ergonomic seating industry and their brand is well-known worldwide. The Terra chair has been the top selling VIA chair for many years, and it is expected to remain so. They are generally not as expensive as brands like Humanscale and Herman Miller, but their product is at just about the same level in terms of quality and durability. The really expensive chairs may have a few extra bells and whistles, and may look a little cooler, but if you're not rich don't feel bad that you can't afford them, you too can be extremely comfortable and productive for about half the price.
If you really want ultra-high quality, and you're willing to pay a little more, go with a chair made by Neutral Posture. They are one of the most well-known and respected names in the chairs business and for a good reason. They provide so many variations and options there's almost no chance you won't find a chair to fit everybody.

Their pricing is competitive and they offer free shipping on both the VIA Seating and Neutral Posture chairs.
