Prime Day Office Chair Deals: Ergonomic Office Chairs
There are probably hundreds of ergonomic office chairs marked down for Amazon Prime Day, and personally, we couldn’t be happier. These chairs feature many points of adjustment (like armrests, lumbar support, and seat depth), and most have high backs to support your entire spine. We looked for chairs that have plenty of cushioning, a frame that supports proper alignment, and wheels. From Herman Miller to Branch, see our on-sale picks right here.
Here’s a sturdy, no-frills option that’s just over 30% off right now from Amazon Basics. It’s highly cushioned, has several adjustments, and has a tilt mechanism to keep you comfortable throughout your day.
An office chair with a retractable footrest? We’re sold. This cheerful office-slash-gaming chair also features additional lumbar support, a removable lumbar pillow, and an ergonomic, padded seat. We appreciate the head rest, too.
For those who want a little more luxury and glamor, opt for this sleek chair with gilded accents from Flash Furniture. Reviewers say it’s easy to assemble and surprisingly comfortable. And with that Prime Day price tag, it’s hard to say no.
Branch makes high-quality, comfortable office chairs at middle-of-the-road price points—except for during Amazon Prime Day, when the chairs are marked down further. The Daily Chair is a Goldie Locks office chair that has everything you need (adjustable height and armrests, plush cushions, and easy-to-maneuver wheels) and nothing you don’t. It offers plenty of spinal and lumbar support for long hours perched at your desk.
We get it—a lot of office chairs look pretty much the same. But it’s all in the details. For instance, this one has a particularly roomy foam seat, which makes it a bit more size-inclusive and comfortable. It has adjustable armrests and rigid, dynamic lumbar support where you need it most. The mesh back is breathable and flexible, too.
A step up from Branch’s Daily Chair, the Ergonomic Chair pays extra attention on providing your back with much-needed cushion and support. It has adjustable lumbar support and seven (!) other points of adjustment, including the seat depth, armrest height, and more. So if you’re looking for an extremely versatile pick, this one is a great option that’s marked down for Prime Day.
This chrome and vegan leather tufted office chair makes a handsome statement (just imagine it in a moody study with dark wood and jewel-toned decor accents…). It’s ideal for folks who don’t sit in their chairs all day, everyday, but it’s comfortable and sturdy enough for a budget-friendly (and stylish) buy.
There’s a reason you find a Herman Miller behind the desks of businesses around America. For an ergonomic desk chair, the big-deal design is surprisingly sleek. Sure, it’s still a computer chair and can’t be mistaken for anything else, but a certain element of design thinking made this one an office icon. Our favorite details: a mesh back that conforms to your body, forward and rear tilt, and easy assembly.
If you’re looking for more support, the long back of this design will serve you well. With a 360-degree swivel and an easy-to-use single-touch seat adjustment, this chair packs more function and thoughtful design details than similarly priced options. It’s the perfect perch to come back to after you tire of that standing desk you said you’d use every day.
This design-forward rattan desk chair was practically built for getting your tasks accomplished in a seaside cottage overlooking the dunes. (A girl can dream, right?) The natural linen and cane come together beautifully with the wood accents. Though it lends itself to a beachy or farmhouse interior style, it could also work with a minimalist, Scandinavian-style space. Both cushions are made with thick foam (reviewers note that it follows form and function when it comes to comfort), and installation is a breeze.
Flexispot’s OC3B is one of our favorite desk chairs sold on Amazon. According to Clever tester Terri Williams, it’s the “best of both worlds” when it comes to comfort and price point. “The entire chair (back, seat, headrest) is made of breathable mesh, which contributes to air circulation,” she writes, and it has “several adjustment points, and even includes a clothes hanger on the back to keep a jacket or throw blanket close by.” Plus, it’s just plain comfortable. Now through Prime Day, you can get it for an extra 23% off.
For those who want comfort but find themselves on a tight budget, here’s a supportive, under-$75 option that’ll arrive in just two days. A breathable mesh design means you won’t get sweaty while plowing through spreadsheets, and the 15-minute assembly process isn’t bad either.
This one is for the folks who need extra cushioning and plenty of support. The ergonomic executive chair is great for anyone with back pain, and it has a weight capacity of 400 pounds, making it more size inclusive than many other office chairs. It’s fully adjustable (it even rocks back 120 degrees), and features a padded headrest and padded armrests.
As it turns out, Serta also makes office furniture. This fuzzy, height adjustable faux-fur chair has memory foam padding in the seat and arms, and a wheeled base with 360-degree casters. “It doesn’t rock, so it helps me so much from slouching,” one reviewer writes, while another commends its “great back support.” If you’re not one for faux fur, the gray suede option is also available, though without the Prime Day office chair deals running.
Steelcase knows a thing or two about making office furniture that stands the test of time. Its popular Gesture model adjusts to your body and work posture preferences through intuitive adjustments (all of which can be made along the right side of the chair. The supportive backrest is contoured to fit your spine, and the arms move 360 degrees. Not to mention, this chair fully reclines in case you need a 10-minute siesta at 3p.m.
Sihoo’s popular ergonomic mesh office chair combines affordability and quality. You’ll get a padded headrest, adjustable lumbar support, and a contoured cushion—all with a lifetime warranty. Reviewers say this is an especially great pick for “big and tall” folks, since you can adjust the seat and headrest heights a great deal and the seat itself is roomy.
Prime Day Office Chair Deals: Armless Office Chairs
Not everyone is a fan of armchairs—sometimes they actually just get in the way. So if you’re one of those people, we found a nice selection of armless task chairs that are surprisingly stylish, and of course, functional. We found excellent options for all tastes, including mid-century modern stunners, bold shapes, and beachy picks with rattan accents
This modern desk chair is so comfortable, one reviewer purchased another to use as additional seating in her family room. (Plus, it’s “attractive [and] very easy to assemble,” she writes.) It offers an Eames-like look for a fraction of the price this Prime Day.
This desk chair has a few different personalities: with or without wheels, genuine leather or boucle (referred to as “furry” on the site), and pink or light cream. This armless design would be great for those who find themselves trying to sit crisscross applesauce during the workday. It has all of the usual details—seat height adjustment, front and back tilt, and the ability to lock it in place. But what we like is that it won’t look too odd if you have to pull it up to the dining table for an unexpected plus one. Versatility, baby. Clip the on-page coupon to get the discount.
It’s not your mother’s desk chair, but it does look like something you’d find in a Lower East Side art gallery. (“Take a break from the serious seating,” the product description urges.) The tractor-inspired seat is made from ergonomically molded plastic, and it’s set atop an adjustable chrome base that’ll last for years to come. Colorways range from yellow to violet to apple green, but we’re partial to the orange, which just so happens to be 48% off.
When combined with the Prime Day deal, this Eames office chair dupe costs about $2,000 less than the original. (The white colorway offers an even greater discount.) It has a quilted faux-leather seat and back, and the armless design makes it an excellent choice for small spaces or tight desks.
If your home is filled with vintage ’60s and ’70s acrylic pieces, keep the theme with this budget-friendly clear acrylic task chair. The smooth petal shape is reminiscent of IKEA’s ever-popular Tobias chairs, and there’s a nice cushion on the seat to keep you comfortable. It’s also a great pick for anyone with a small office space, as clear furniture makes spaces feel less crowded. The chair has an adjustable height, 360-degree swivel, and is on wheels.
Popular Amazon brand Yaheetech’s sleek midcentury office chair is as stylish as it is functional. Reviewers rave about the comfortable cushion, and though the back support doesn’t extend high up, it provides decent lumbar support. It has adjustable height and is on wheels, plus, its small frame is ideal for small offices or apartments.
Prime Day Office Chair Deals: Kneeling and Cross-Legged Office Chairs
Not everyone sits comfortably with both of their feet on the floor. If you’re one of those people, you can find seating solutions that still prioritize spinal health and alignment, while allowing you to kneel or cross your legs comfortably. Innovation!
Switch up your seating with this ergonomic kneeling chair, which puts your hips and legs in optimal alignment—you won’t even miss having a chair back. The cushions are thick and supportive, and the oak frame will look right at home in any Scandi design lover’s space.
If you tend to get fidgety while working at a desk, listen up. The floating footrest is a big deal—its spacious design means you can drape your feet or legs over it in a number of ways. The leg rest can also be removed, for when you’re ready to plant those feet onto the ground again. Without this element, it is a pretty bare-bones office chair with limited back support, which is something to keep in mind if you don’t think you’ll be using that footrest often.
Prime Day Office Chair Deals: Stationary Office Chairs
A stationary office chair is a fabulous idea if you frequently host gatherings and need extra seating in a pinch, or if you’re simply after an office chair that doesn’t look like one. We curated a handful of accent and dining chairs that are comfortable enough to sit on while working and will blend right into your decor once you’re done for the day.
This stationary task chair can be pulled out from your desk and used for extra seating next time you have company, and we can pretty much promise you’ll get compliments galore. The curved, mid-century frame has an enduring appeal (just ask the 1,800+ five-star reviewers) and it’s lightly cushioned so you can finish your tasks without back pain.
If you’d rather the cushion be attached, this upholstered side chair has also received high marks. The walnut wood finish pairs with most mid-century furniture, and looks, according to one purchaser, “elegant” in person. While the chair is shipped from and sold by Amazon—and is now 36% off—the brand offers a free one-year warranty. The dark gray colorway is also on sale.
Here’s a stationary desk chair courtesy of the lifestyle queen herself, Martha Stewart. The soft velvet upholstery matched with the brushed brass legs makes this a versatile and expensive-looking piece in any office. What this chair lacks in floor mobility, it makes up for with a 360-degree swivel. And, right now, it’s a sweet 60% off.
Settle into this plush Scandi-style task chair when you’re on a tight deadline—or maybe don’t, because reviewers say it’s so comfortable that you might end up wanting to take a siesta. It’s not on wheels, but it swivels around. (We recommend adding felt pads to the legs to make it easy to slide on hardwood or tile floors.) The tufted back cushion adds a little style to the otherwise minimalist frame, while the oak accents warm it up.
Prime Day Office Chair Deals: Office Furniture and Accessories
Looking for some more items to round out your cart? There are some sneaky deals on office furniture like standing desks, filing systems, and ergonomic accessories from brands like Vari and Laura Davidson that’ll make your home office (or IRL office) a little more comfortable.
If you want a more traditional office storage system, roll this modern filing cabinet under your desk to add storage space without cluttering the valuable desktop space. The rounded corners make it feel less clunky, and the wheels make it easy to get what you need. The top cabinet is lockable, too.
Arguably the first standing desk invented, the VariDesk is a mainstay in offices around the world. Right now, it’s more than $100 off, which is pretty good considering the higher price point. The desk has a small control panel and sturdy legs that don’t look overly industrial, plus a beautifully curved laminated wood desktop.
Keep all of your important papers and to-dos in sight with this rustic side table, which doubles as storage shelves. Don’t wait, though, it’s nearly 50% off and it won’t last long.
If your office chair doesn’t have the lumbar support you need but you’re not quite ready to buy a whole new chair, the Cushion Lab memory foam pillow is an excellent stand-in. Prop it behind you and feel low and mid-back support throughout your workday. This is also nice for anyone with chronic pain to use with dining chairs, couches, and even in the car.
This gorgeous, simple mid-century-inspired desk is 20% off for the Prime Day sale—but honestly, we’d scoop it up sans discount. The rattan drawers and tasteful gold accents feel trendy and timeless, and reviewers note that the legs feel very sturdy and well-made.
Standing desk lovers, you’re about to have an even better experience with this anti-fatigue mat to keep under your feet while you work. It’s low-profile and small, so you can stow it away when it’s not in use. (Pro tip: Pop it in the kitchen when you know you’ll be cooking for a while.)
Why is it important to get a high-quality office chair?
A high-quality chair will pay for itself in a handful of ways. First, it’ll last longer than ones that are constructed poorly, in the hopes that you’ll be able to use it for years and years before replacing. Second, high-quality chairs usually have more cushioning, more thoughtful construction, and more points of adjustment—all of which are important for your physical health, especially if you plan on sitting on your task chair for eight hours a day. “A proper fitting desk chair is one of the cornerstones of postural health,” neurosurgeon Betsy Grunch, MD, FAANS, FACS previously told Clever. “People who sit for long hours in a poorly adjusted chair will experience neck, back, shoulder and hip pain. This can trigger headaches, lack of concentration and compression of the discs in the spine.”
What does “ergonomic” even mean?
You’ve definitely heard of the word ergonomic, but it can be tough figuring out exactly what that means for your home office chairs. “A chair that is coined “ergonomic” should offer firmness that is supportive yet comfortable,” Kristy Basinger PT, CHT, previously told Clever. “It should have multiple components that adjust all aspects of the chair. Adjustments are important because we all have different body types and heights.” Using adjustable components so that your chair fits your body (and not the other way around) keeps your spine in a healthy position, which reduces the risk of hurting your back or neck.
What should you look for in an office chair?
Every chair feels a little bit different for every single person. There are a few things to keep in mind when you’re looking for a comfy chair that isn’t going to cause you any pain now or in the future.
