So, now you need a really good high quality and premium office chair?

Well, we sell them, and we have some expert opinions, so we may know what we’re talking about.
Here are some great ones to choose from, and their specifications.

Herman Miller Embody

The Herman Miller Embody is one of the most advanced ergonomic chairs ever designed. Developed by Bill Stumpf and Jeff Weber in collaboration with more than 20 physicians and biomechanical experts, the Embody was built around a single idea: movement is essential to health, even while seated. Its signature pixelated support system automatically conforms to your body’s micro-movements, distributing weight evenly and eliminating pressure buildup. The narrow back promotes correct posture while allowing freedom to move, twist, and reach.

Steelcase Gesture

The Steelcase Gesture is engineered for the way people work today. Steelcase studied more than 2,000 people across six continents and identified nine postures created by modern technology use, phones, tablets, laptops, multi-monitor setups, that existing chairs weren’t supporting. The Gesture was designed to address all of them. Its defining feature is a 360-degree arm system that moves like the human arm, supporting your shoulders and elbows in any position. Pair that with 3D LiveBack® and a flexible seat perimeter, and you get a chair that supports you whether you’re deep in a spreadsheet or on a call.

Steelcase Leap V2

The Steelcase Leap V2 has been one of the top-ranked ergonomic chairs on the market since its release and still holds that position nearly two decades later. What sets it apart is LiveBack® technology, a flexible backrest that changes shape as you move, mimicking your spine’s natural motion rather than locking you into a fixed posture. Add the Natural Glide System, which lets you recline while staying close to your desk, and seven points of adjustment, and you have a chair that accommodates virtually every sitting style and body type.

Haworth Zody

The Haworth Zody was the first office chair ever to offer asymmetrical lumbar support — the ability to independently adjust lumbar support on each side of the spine to match your body’s natural asymmetry. It was also the first chair to achieve Cradle to Cradle® certification for sustainability. The Zody supports both traditional seated postures and a “perch” position — that half-sitting, half-standing position that’s increasingly common with sit-to-stand desk setups. Its 3-point synchronous tilt aligns with the body’s natural pivot points at the hip, knee, and ankle for an effortless, balanced recline.
