How you feel when you sit in your office will have a great impact on your overall well-being and efficiency. That's why many offices, and many who work from home, will invest in a good office chair.
To help you decide on your own office chair, you might want to check out the comprehensive post on the Tom's Guide website: I spent over 5,000 hours testing all the best office chairs — here are my top picks.
This is a monster article that is broken up into 17 sub-headings covering pretty much everything you'll want to know about purchasing a new office chair, including best options for back pain, home office, gaming, ergonomics, budget, and more.
Of course, it's likely the author earns from the purchases when you click through to the different websites selling the chairs, but that's cool considering all the work that's gone into the post. Hope you can benefit from it if you're currently in the market for a new office chair.
