What makes a good chair is debatable. Some people might prize design over comfort, whereas, for plenty of us, the ability to sit at said chair for eight hours a day without ending up in the chiropractor's office is by far the most important consideration. Ideally, you'll find the ideal happy medium: a chair that combines practical, comfortable design and beautiful form.
We've done our research to round up the best Made.com chairs to buy online right now, including the best lounge, dining, and office chairs Made.com has to offer with up to 40% selected items in its Summer Sale.
What to look for in an office chair
Dr Pankhania, Chiropractor at Healing Hands and postural specialist gives us her advice on what to look out for when buying an office chair.
• Pankhania advises that the chair base should not be too deep-cushioned so that your posture stoops.
• The chair should also be able to be adjusted in height because spines don't like static positions.
• Ideally you should be able to move the position of your chair every 30 minutes or so.
• Your feet should comfortably sit flat on the floor, with your knees at right angles.
With this in mind, we've gone onto Made.com and rounded up the best office, living room and dining room chairs with support curves and backrests, and adjustable heights.
