In 2025, my team and I tested 20 of the best office chairs (bringing our total count to almost 100 office chair reviews). So, as we head towards 2026, I've hand-picked the most comfortable models we've reviewed this year.
I've found it fascinating reading back through all our 2025 reviews, seeing the office chair market shift from functional and corporate furniture towards wellness-first designs and, in one case, a true next-gen seat with electric adjustments.
Boulies EP200
Excellent for work and play

I've been using the Boulies EP200 every day since I first reviewed it back in February - and it hasn't let me down yet. It's firm and supportive, and the all-mesh build makes it highly breathable (although there is a variant with a foam cushioned seat). True to the company's gaming heritage, it's ideal for work and play and all-day sitting all at an extremely reasonable price.

A piece of art masquerading as an office chair

The Humanscale Freedom is a gorgeous office chair with a stunning design and some clever ergonomic engineering. We found this one very, very comfortable to sit on for long periods of time. Although we found it can take a bit of getting used to, it boasts an exceptional number of customizations, with the chair automatically adjusting in response to your weight and posture.

Sihoo Doro C300 Pro

The Sihoo Doro C300 Pro is an upgrade on one of my favorite office chairs (the Pro-less and budget-priced C300). This mid-range model proved superb for ergonomics and comfort, featuring a dynamic lumbar support, 6D armrests, and a design that fits a range of body types. If those armrests locked into place, it would be almost entirely perfect.
