What Kind of Office Chair Should I Buy?

If your complaints are generally about the comfort of your chair, it may be time to look into a mesh office chair. The mesh back contours to the curves of your body, providing more flexibility in its design. Mesh chairs are also breathable as the mesh material allows for airflow. If you are prone to sweating with your back up against a leather chair, a mesh chair may be the better fit for you. Studies have shown that working in a hot office reduces productivity and causes fatigue in work environments. Choose from one of Desks Inc’s many mesh office chair options here.

If you are a big and tall person, are in a higher than normal height and/or weight range, it’s important to consider an office chair that’ll support you. Leather chairs and vinyl chairs are not only beautiful, classic, and easy to clean, they also support more weight and often have the options of taller backs. Typically, a leather or vinyl office chair can support 250 lbs and sometimes much more. Leather chairs and vinyl chairs have sleek materials that are easy to clean with mild soap and water, making them a lot easier to care after than many fabric chairs.

Don’t want to break the bank? Perhaps you are looking to buy office chairs in bulk to fill a waiting room or small office. It may not make sense to buy an office chair with all the bells and whistles in certain circumstances. We recommend guest chairs and nesting chairs, which you can purchase brand new around $130- $200. Desks Inc also has many used office chair options which will keep your overall cost very low. We have stackable or nesting chairs, with or without wheels, and many even have mesh back supports. 

If you want something that’s unique and fits with your preferred color schemes, Desks Inc has many custom chair options. Many modern offices are light, bright and colorful nowadays. For aesthetic customizations we offer your choice of seat color and base. Color isn’t the only thing you can make your own. You can pair a mesh back chair with a fabric or vinyl seat. 

You may have a hard time justifying spending money on office chairs, but it’s wise to think of your office chair as an investment in your health, productivity, and comfort! According to the National Post, the average office worker works up to 10 hours a day, or 17,000 hours a year! This much sitting is nothing to bat an eye at. 

We believe it’s important to keep your office running smoothly by keeping workers comfortable and out of pain. A proper office chair will increase productivity by keeping people undistracted from aches and pains. Ergonomic chairs have been proven to increase productivity by 17.5%, since they have adjustable options. Chairs with wheels provide more grace and ease to move around, which will keep away the frustrations of not being able to easily access drawers and files without picking up one’s chair each time they move. It’s important to choose the right chair. We are happy to give you recommendations based on your personal preferences and needs.
