Choosing a comfortable office chair should be considered a business decision, as it affects every minute of your working day. Getting it right has been proven to boost productivity by up to 17.8%<\/a> while promoting your well-being and helping you improve your posture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As with any business decision, you must do your due diligence. Fortunately, I’ve done most of your hard work in writing this review. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my quest to find the most comfortable office chair, I’ve considered every decision you will likely face.<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Why? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because office chairs are not uniform products, and certain features are only available at the expense of others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, spending $3,000 on a chair almost guarantees you’ll find a comfortable one, but as soon as you start lowering the price, you must start making tradeoffs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Should you trade off build quality or ergonomics?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are some of the difficult questions you’ll need to answer.<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

With all that in mind, I’ve chosen office chairs that make the fewest tradeoffs at their price points. Here is my shortlist of the best office chairs in Australia that prioritise comfort above all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

1. ErgoTune Joobie.<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The most comfortable office chair under $750.<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The ErgoTune Joobie<\/a> is the strongest contender, comfort-wise, at the $750 price point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first reason for its impressive performance is its 15 points of adjustment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are obsessive-compulsive about getting your sitting position right, you’ll appreciate that everything on the Joobie is adjustable. <\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

You get a 3-way adjustable headrest, two-way adjustable lumbar support and the TrueTilt precision recline, which allows you to recline up to 136 degrees (it’s tempting to fall asleep; I won’t judge).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The armrests deserve a special mention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love the satisfying metallic clicking sound they make when I move them and appreciate that they adjust for reach, width, height and pivot (to a mind-boggling 360 degrees).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seat height and depth are also adjustable, meaning the desk chair is comfortable for people at the shortest and tallest extremes of the height spectrum.<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The TriTune 3D headrest is also one of the best in an ergonomic office chair. It’s fully adjustable for height, reach and tilt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wish the tilt could be locked to prevent the headrest from moving with sufficient head pressure, but this is a minor quibble. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, you’ll be able to find a comfortable spot to park your head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The backrest of the ErgoTune Joobie office chair features a built-in lumbar support, which adapts to your spine as you move.<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Depending on how firm you like to feel on your lower back, you can adjust the lumbar support’s tension from fully locked to very soft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every single component of the Joobie has been trademarked: TriTune, GyroBrace, DuraWeave, TriTune, and TrueTilt…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To some, it might seem like marketing overkill; to others, it’s attention to detail and good branding. <\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

But regardless of how you feel about the naming nomenclature, you can’t get away from the fact that each feature serves a legitimate ergonomic purpose and delivers comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And what about sizes? You have three options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
