Ergonomics expert Alan Hedge told us that finding the right chair is like finding a good pair of shoes: You want it to follow certain design principles, and you’ll of course consider the materials, quality, and aesthetics, but ultimately you should choose something you feel comfortable in. Since everyone is different, we found chairs that fit a range of body types, but you should always try a chair out before purchasing. Whether you’re looking to buy used or new, consider visiting an office-furniture refurbishment store (as safely as possible), or even an architectural-salvage store like Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore, to try a few chairs otherwise not available in stores. If that’s not possible, a generous return policy of at least 30 days will help you make that decision at home. We’ve included some size notes in this guide to help you with this important choice.
