The Best Startup Office Chairs

Many of us spend most of our working hours sitting on an office chair. Often underestimated is how important a high-quality office chair is.

A good, ergonomic office chair supports the back, helps improve posture, and is comfortable enough to spend long periods at the desk without pain.

When it comes to office chairs, it's important to note that you get what you pay for. Therefore, it's worth investing a little more to get higher comfort, less fatigue, and increased productivity in return.Here are a few of the best office chairs that you can't go wrong with:

1. IKEA Markus

The IKEA Markus is one of the cheapest ergonomic chairs that still has a lot to offer. The lumbar and neck are supported by the chair. The material is breathable for good ventilation during extended sitting, and the chair is easy to adjust to the desired height and tilt.

Unfortunately, at this price point, there are some downsides: the chair is not as flexible as others, and you have to assemble it yourself, although this shouldn't take too much time.

Markus is available for €169 at IKEA.

2. Herman Miller SAYL

Herman Miller SAYL is the successful attempt by the famous furniture manufacturer to release a budget-friendly office chair.

The chair is easily adjustable to the user's individual needs and provides perfect lumbar support. The mesh design of the back prevents a slouching posture and keeps you from sweating.

The original design, offered in many different colors, is also a real eye-catcher for the office.

Overall, Herman Miller SAYL is a functional office chair with great value for money.

Herman Miller SAYL is available for €449 at DesignCabinet.

3. Haworth Zody

The design of Haworth Zody is not very eye-catching, but its scientifically tested functions are all the more impressive: the asymmetrical adjustment system allows users to adapt the chair to their natural body shape and individual problem areas.

Haworth Zody is available for €542 at Inwerk.

4. Steelcase Gesture

Steelcase Gesture is an intelligently designed chair with highly mobile armrests that can be adjusted to any seating position.

Additionally, the back automatically adjusts to the spine and weight of the user, mimicking the body's natural movements.

Steelcase Gesture is available for €729 at Buerostuehle-4u.

5. Knoll ReGeneration

The flexible material of Knoll ReGeneration intuitively responds to the user's movements, providing comfort throughout the day. The chair offers more or less support depending on the sitting position. Another plus point: the chair is environmentally friendly due to its soy- and corn-based materials.

Knoll ReGeneration is available for €867.85 at Offique.

6. Herman Miller Embody Office Chair

Herman Miller Embody features an original and cool design.

The back stimulates blood circulation and oxygen supply to the body by reducing the strain on the body while sitting. Additionally, the chair automatically adjusts to the user's back and movements. The Embody is even said to be capable of reducing stress and blood pressure. All of this comes at a price.

Herman Miller Embody is available for €1,090 at DesignCabinet.
