Whether at home or the office, kicking back in a sweet chair makes all the difference.

The right chair is not only comfortable; it’s therapeutic and increases productivity. Even if “productivity” amounts to updating your Facebook page or shopping online.

So, where are these productive, comfort-inducing chairs to be found? Right here in our best chairs for sitting at desks list naturally.

Chair Hero

Ergonomic chair

For the longest time I was under the impression the whole ergonomic thing was nothing more than a marketing ploy. I mean, how can a chair that looks like it came straight out of a B science fiction movie be comfortable? After planting my backside on one many moons ago I learned; there is a difference and the things just feel right. It also feels pretty good knowing that at Chair Hero this ergonomic wonder is about a third of the retail price.

National Business Furniture

Solid and stylish

Solid as a rock, that’s what this chair from National Business Furniture is. It can handle up to 400 lbs of desk sitting person with ease. Also pretty slick is the material used; it’s an anti-microbial vinyl (who knew there was such a thing?) to help ward off germs and other little nasties after hours and hours of use. It’s also easy as can be to adjust, so if you’re sitting at desks and sharing chairs, you don’t have to worry about sitting so low you feel like you got banished to the kids table at Thanksgiving.

OfficeFurniture.com

Super stylish chair

Oh yeah. Dropping the proverbial back side into this beauty immediately sets you apart. In case anyone at the home or office didn’t already know you were the Big Cheese, this’ll do it. OfficeFurniture.com has an assortment of chairs for sitting at desks, from the science fiction to close out items. But for my money, you’ll be hard pressed to top the Rue de Lyon Executive Leather Chair pictured here. I mean, it’s a chair and it’s called a Rue de Lyon, what more is there to know?

Heartland America

Massage and de-stress

You knew it had to happen. We couldn’t have a Best of list of chairs for sitting at desks without at least one that serves the dual purpose of comfort and a massage. This just looks comfortable, even without the 5-way motorized back and leg vibrating massage functions. I’m not sure how Heartland America does it; these things are usually pretty expensive (though worth it). Somehow this cushy desk chair is only $170, which is about two hours with Sven, the killer masseuse that hasn’t quite perfected the difference between a relaxing massage and torture.
