Selecting the best home office chair depends on how much you use it. If it’s just for occasional light use, say an hour or so a day then what you buy isn’t too critical.

For people who spend significant amounts of time sitting at a computer their chair needs to be seen as a serious work tool, after all you wouldn’t try to cook a gourmet meal for 12 on a disposable barbeque would you?

And it’s no different with a chair, those long hours you spend sitting each day take a toll on your body and so it’s vital you select a quality chair capable of giving you maximum comfort and support, especially when you have been sitting for many hours.

In the next post on selecting a home office chair I’ll take a look at the kind of budget you will need to allow for to get a properly featured chair.
