2. Everprof Leo T (from 8188 rubles)

This is another model from the best chairs of 2021. It is made of faux leather, available in 3 colors – light peach, brown and black. The chair is perfect for not very large people with good posture. The back is quite low, and there is no headrest to support the neck. It is also worth paying attention to the fact that the chair is not ventilated and if you sit for a long time, your back will most likely sweat. At the same time, the reviews about this model are good, almost all buyers are 100% satisfied with the purchase. They especially note the build quality, the pleasant texture of the upholstery and the comfort of sitting.

This computer chair for work in white looks simply chic. But unfortunately there are no other color options. The model is equipped with armrests and a headrest, seating height can be changed in a fairly wide range, there is a rocking mechanism and a gas lift. The main disadvantage of this chair is its relatively high cost, despite the fact that there are no special features. Such as flexible fit adjustment and other similar solutions.

4. MEBELTORG Iris (from 3100 rubles)

A utilitarian solution, simpler and cheaper – you just can’t imagine. This chair for work looks minimalistic, if not clumsy. The maximum weight that it can withstand is only 80 kg. But, it is difficult to find fault with him because of his cost – a little more than 3 thousand rubles. If your budget is very limited or you need a seating aid not on an ongoing basis, take a closer look at this option. The chair is equipped with a swing mechanism, gas lift and a ventilated back, which is very good for the money.

A minimalist solution among the best chairs for work in 2021. Made in a classic office style, with a little zest in the form of a colored mesh back. Equipped with a gas lift, but for some reason it does not have a rocking mechanism, which in our time is bad manners. The manufacturer notes that some plastic parts are reinforced with metal spacers.

How to choose a chair for work

A difficult question about seemingly simple furniture will help us answer Maria Vikulova, experienced office worker. Now she works as a marketer in a real estate agency, before that she worked as an office worker. She perfectly understands how much an employee’s productivity depends on the office chair and answered our questions with pleasure.

Anatomical criteria

I think not, most importantly, the chair should take the anatomical shape of the working body, should not be “too comfortable” – ultra soft or with a back like a deck chair, located at an angle. If the chair does not come with a table, then its prerequisite is the ability to adjust the height. And to do it as simply as possible, so that there is no need to get up from a chair or use a second hand. The best option is a chair with a ledge in the lumbar region (like a roller). The seat of the chair, especially its edge, should be soft (so as not to pinch the blood vessels in the legs, those who walk around the office in heels notice such trifles).

Important little things

First, my experience is that choosing a chair with leather armrests is an impractical choice. They are quickly erased from frequent contact with hands and the table, it is better to choose dense fabrics that can be washed. Secondly, the back should be adjusted in the same way as the seat, this is very important! The chair should be made of non-electrifying material – it infuriates when the hair sticks out in all directions when you get up from the workplace.

Office furniture fashion

In Our Country there is no such practice as abroad. A cool thing is popular there: chairs with a knee support, like Lisa from The Simpsons. Once I tried to sit on this, it is actually very convenient to work behind it, the weight is redistributed in a different way. I hope this fashion will soon reach us, now there are very few similar offers on the market, and even more so in offices.

Summing up, it is worth saying that the choice of a chair for work is extremely important, and all the nuances of its use can only be learned in the process of using it and gaining personal experience. Nevertheless, if you are faced with the question of buying an office chair, pay attention to one of the most popular and not very expensive models, it should fit. And then, having gained practical experience, it will already be possible to start looking for your dream swivel chair!
