That’s fine! Sleep is extremely important. But if you spend several hours—more than eight, if you’re me—at your desk, it’s a good idea to give the humble chair more attention. It’s not just about finding a comfortable seat. The right materials can whisk away body heat, and adjustability options can tailor the chair to your body. We’ve spent the past two years sitting on nearly 40 office chairs, and these are our favorites. Be sure to check out our other buying guides, including the Best Laptop Stands, Best Work-From-Home Gear, Best Mattresses, and the Best Window Air Conditioners. Updated December 2022: We’ve mentioned the Herman Miller Vantum, Giantex Executive Chair, and Hon Ignition 2.0. Special offer for Gear readers: Get a 1-year subscription to WIRED for $5 ($25 off).
