If you missed the Amazon Prime Day sales in July, you’ve got another chance to score the best Prime Day office chair deals, courtesy of Prime Big Deal Days, which kicked off yesterday and ends today. On the final day of the sale, we’re still culling opportunities to shop for a new office chair with major savings. You’re likely here because you’re tired of looking at and sitting in the same old unattractive, uncomfortable, or maybe even broken office chair every day. You’ve also probably realized that good-looking task chairs for your home office are hard to come by. So to help you find the perfect mate for your computer desk, we found the best Amazon deals on comfortable office chairs (and a few office accessories, as a bonus!) for every kind of budget and style. Thank us later.

Don’t forget about the other rooms in your space that could use an update, too. Our team scoured Amazon’s massive sale to track down the best home deals, finding markdowns on everything from vacuums to coffee makers.

There are probably hundreds of ergonomic office chairs marked down for Amazon Prime Day, and personally, we couldn’t be happier. These chairs feature many points of adjustment (like armrests, lumbar support, and seat depth), and most have high backs to support your entire spine. We looked for chairs that have plenty of cushioning, a frame that supports proper alignment, and wheels. While we haven’t spotted any Steelcase or Herman Miller deals yet, see our on-sale picks right here.

A step up from Branch's Daily Chair, the Ergonomic Chair pays extra attention on providing your back with much-needed cushion and support. It has adjustable lumbar support and seven (!) other points of adjustment, including the seat depth, armrest height, and more. So if you're looking for an extremely versatile pick, this one is a great option.

Amazon

Branch

West Elm

This one is for the folks who need extra cushioning and plenty of support. The ergonomic executive chair is great for anyone with back pain, and it has a weight capacity of 400 pounds, making it more size inclusive than many other office chairs. It’s fully adjustable (it even rocks back 120 degrees), and features a padded headrest and padded armrests. The popular chair is 29% off right now, and you can also take an additional $30 off when you apply a coupon.

Amazon

As it turns out, Serta also makes office furniture. This fuzzy, height adjustable faux-fur chair has memory foam padding in the seat and arms, and a wheeled base with 360-degree casters. “It doesn't rock, so it helps me so much from slouching,” one reviewer writes, while another commends its “great back support.” If you’re not one for faux fur, the gray suede option is also available, though without the Prime Day office chair deals running.

Amazon

Sihoo's popular ergonomic mesh office chair combines affordability and quality. You'll get a padded headrest, adjustable lumbar support, and a contoured cushion—all with a lifetime warranty. Reviewers say this is an especially great pick for “big and tall” folks, since you can adjust the seat and headrest heights a great deal and the seat itself is roomy. As a bonus, you can also apply a $20 coupon to cut down the price even more.

Amazon

Flexispot’s OC3B is one of our favorite desk chairs sold on Amazon. According to Clever tester Terri Williams, it’s the “best of both worlds” when it comes to comfort and price point. “The entire chair (backrest, seat, headrest) is made of breathable mesh, which contributes to air circulation,” she writes, and it has “several adjustment points, and even includes a clothes hanger on the back to keep a jacket or throw blanket close by.” Plus, it’s just plain comfortable. While it's not as discounted as other models during Prime Day, you can still clip the on page coupon for $20 off.

Amazon

Here’s a sturdy, no-frills option that comes in under $100 right now from Amazon Basics. It’s highly cushioned, has several adjustments, and uses a tilt mechanism to keep you comfortable throughout your day. The deal is available for the black or white chair, but the brown option is not currently discounted.

Amazon

We get it, a lot of office chairs look pretty much the same. But for us, it's all in the details. For instance, this one has a particularly roomy foam seat, which makes it a bit more size-inclusive and comfortable. It has adjustable armrests and rigid, dynamic lumbar support where you need it most. The mesh back is breathable and flexible, too. It’s 12% off right now, but you can take an extra $30 when you use a coupon.

Amazon

For those who want comfort but find themselves on a tight budget, here’s a supportive, under-$75 option that’ll arrive in just two days. A breathable mesh design means you won’t get sweaty while plowing through spreadsheets or fighting digital enemies, and the 15-minute assembly process isn’t bad either. All three colors—beige, black, and grey—are marked down 44% during the sale.

Amazon

Okay so we’re not gamers, but a handful of work-from-homers swear gaming chairs are the way to go in your workspace. And? It makes sense. These chairs are specifically designed for an individual to sit with intensity, something only gamers have truly mastered, as well as to make hours of sedentary focus as comfortable as possible.

Amazon

Branch makes high-quality, comfortable office chairs at middle-of-the-road price points. The Daily Chair is a Goldie Locks office chair that has everything you need (adjustable height and armrests, plush cushions, and easy-to-maneuver wheels) and nothing you don't. It offers plenty of spinal and lumbar support for long hours perched at your desk.

Amazon

For those who want a little more luxury and glamor, opt for this sleek chair with gilded accents from Flash Furniture. Reviewers say it’s easy to assemble and surprisingly comfortable. And with that Prime Day price tag, it’s hard to say no.

Amazon

An adjustable lumbar rest and a contoured backrest will help keep you feeling fresh, even if you’re stuck at your desk for hours. Not only does this chair swivel, it tilts, is height adjustable, and you can tweak the seat depth. We’re partial to the coral colorway if you’re looking to make a statement.

Amazon

If you don’t want to spend a bunch on a comfy office chair, this one has received rave reviews (nearly 1,000 with five stars!) for its solid quality and price point. It’s 23% off in classic black, but you can score a coupon to take an extra $5 off the gray or light pink styles.

Amazon

If you haven’t yet scored a vintage Breuer model, here’s a cane-back office chair in a similar mid-century style. The seat is topped with a tufted, faux-leather cushion, which one reviewer describes as “thick,” “not too shiny,” and “luxurious.” (And unlike genuine leather, it’ll be easy to keep clean.)

Amazon

This design-forward rattan desk chair was practically built for getting your tasks accomplished in a seaside cottage overlooking the dunes. (A girl can dream, right?) The natural linen and cane come together beautifully with the wood accents. Though it lends itself to a beachy or farmhouse interior style, it could also work with a minimalist, Scandinavian-style space. Both cushions are made with thick foam (reviewers note that it follows form and function when it comes to comfort), and installation is a breeze. The same office chair is also discounted with blue or ivory upholstery.

Amazon

Not everyone is a fan of armchairs—sometimes they actually just get in the way. So if you’re one of those people, we found a nice selection of armless task chairs that are surprisingly stylish, and of course, functional. We found excellent options for all tastes, including mid-century modern stunners, bold shapes, and beachy picks with rattan accents.

Amazon

Popular Amazon brand Yaheetech’s sleek midcentury office chair is as stylish as it is functional. Reviewers rave about the comfortable cushion, and though the back support doesn’t extend high up, it provides decent lumbar support. It has adjustable height and is on wheels, plus, its small frame is ideal for small offices or apartments.

Amazon

If you really want to get back to basics, here’s an option from the retailer itself—that just may be the most-reviewed office chair on the site. The two-inch-thick seat cushion will provide ample support, and the contoured mesh back will bend to your weight, unlike rigid models made from leather or upholstery. (If you’re not yet persuaded, you could always read some of the nearly 14,000 five-star reviews.)

Amazon

Something about this chair is very cute—it is unassuming, simple, and “small” is even in the title. This chair, like some of our other picks, is PU leather filled with high-density foam to keep its shape and ensure durability. It has all the essentials: lumbar support, height adjustability, and 360-degree swivel and a six-wheel foundation to make sliding silent and easy.

Amazon

If your home is filled with vintage ’60s and ’70s acrylic pieces, keep the theme with this budget-friendly clear acrylic task chair. The smooth petal shape is reminiscent of IKEA’s ever-popular Tobias chairs, and there’s a nice cushion on the seat to keep you comfortable. It’s also a great pick for anyone with a small office space, as clear furniture makes spaces feel less crowded. The chair has an adjustable height, 360-degree swivel, and is on wheels. Make sure to clip the on-page coupon for 20% off.

Amazon

It’s not your mother’s desk chair, but it does look like something you’d find in a Lower East Side art gallery. (“Take a break from the serious seating,” the product description urges.) The tractor-inspired seat is made from ergonomically molded plastic, and it’s set atop an adjustable chrome base that’ll last for years to come. Colorways range from yellow to violet to apple green, but we’re partial to the orange, which just so happens to be 15% off.

Amazon

This chair caught our eye because, well, it looks like a seashell. We love the unique seams paired with the off-white, and we also love that this leather is easy to clean, comfortable to sit in, and has adjustable tilt tension for those mid-afternoon slumps when you just can't get comfortable. The rolling function helps with that, too, when you have to make a few purposeless spins to get the blood flowing.

Not everyone sits comfortably with both of their feet on the floor. If you're one of those people, you can find seating solutions that still prioritize spinal health and alignment, while allowing you to kneel or cross your legs comfortably. Innovation!

Amazon

Sometimes we have to look something up just to see if it exists yet. In this case, yes, it absolutely does. This office chair has 8 massage modes, as well as a heating function, which can both function independently of each other. It still boasts all the features of a regularly amazing office chair, like retractable footrest, lumbar pillow, padded head support cushion, and padded armrests.

Amazon

Balance ball chairs had a big boom during the pandemic, but we're here to say that they're still pretty great. Whether you're fidgety and can't stand a traditional chair, or you're looking to boost your pelvic floor and core strength, nab one of these chairs while they're on sale. This one from Gaiam has mid-back support and is on wheels, so consider it the “training wheels” of a true balance ball chair.

Amazon

If you tend to get fidgety while working at a desk, listen up. The floating footrest is a big deal—its spacious design means you can drape your feet or legs over it in a number of ways. The leg rest can also be removed, for when you’re ready to plant those feet onto the ground again. Without this element, it is a pretty bare-bones office chair with limited back support, which is something to keep in mind if you don’t think you’ll be using that footrest often.

Amazon

Switch up your seating with this ergonomic kneeling chair, which puts your hips and legs in optimal alignment—you won't even miss having a chair back. The cushions are thick and supportive, and the oak frame will look right at home in any Scandi design lover's space. Only a few colorways are discounted right now, including the gray upholstered option shown here.

A stationary office chair is a fabulous idea if you frequently host gatherings and need extra seating in a pinch, or if you’re simply after an office chair that doesn’t look like one. We curated a couple of accent and dining chairs that are comfortable enough to sit on while working and will blend right into your decor once you’re done for the day.

Amazon

If you’d rather the cushion be attached, this upholstered side chair has also received high marks. The walnut wood finish pairs with most mid-century furniture, and looks, according to one purchaser, “elegant” in person. While the chair is shipped from and sold by Amazon—and is now a whopping 62% off—the brand offers a free one-year warranty. The dark gray colorway is also on sale for 61% off.

Amazon

This stationary task chair can be pulled out from your desk and used for extra seating next time you have company, and we can pretty much promise you'll get compliments galore. The curved, mid-century frame has an enduring appeal (just ask the 1,300+ five-star reviewers) plus the mid back and wide seat are lightly cushioned so you can finish your tasks without back pain.

Amazon

Some people will hate this suggestion, and we respect that—but some of us like a bare bones kind of chair at our desks: something stark and wooden, with a woven seat. For those of us that don't like being too relaxed to focus, and appreciate the inability to lean back comfortably to keep our posture in check, a wishbone design is an obvious choice. These chairs blend easily into all environments and always look intentionally placed. Our particular favorite of this lineup is the Ash Wood - Walnut.

Amazon

Here’s a stationary desk chair courtesy of the lifestyle queen herself, Martha Stewart. The soft velvet upholstery matched with the brushed brass legs makes this a versatile and expensive-looking piece in any office. What this chair lacks in floor mobility, it makes up for with a 360-degree swivel. And, right now, it’s a sweet 40% off during October Prime Day.

Some office chairs speak volumes—high-powered execs would certainly look less intimidating in, for example, a Mid-Century Modern Accent Chair. The following chairs are for those who like to feel and look boss.

Amazon

This is a chair for powerful people—100% genuine leather with a plush inside for comfort, classic chrome detailing, a high back and ergonomic comfort. This is a chair made for people who are greying early and yelling on the phone and want to “See things in writing.” It's a chair for signing wet signatures, slamming the phone down, and, for dramatic flair, turning toward the wall so you can slowly circle back to your desk when someone steps into your office.

Amazon

If the previous chair is one for an intimidating boss, this is one for the nice kind—the take-you-out-to-lunch kind. This has a comfortable, soft-cushion filled with high-density foam in its interior. The suede adds a polished touch, and the flexibility of the backrest angle and lumbar support make it so you can switch up your comfort throughout the day.

Amazon

The more affordable option of our executive chair picks, this has a PU leather seat and chrome detail, but at a fifth of the price point. It has an adjustable seat back, with an angle that can range between 90 and 120 degrees, as well as a high-quality vegan leather that's water and wear resistant. Maybe it's a little less drama than our genuine leather pick, but it'll certainly still get the job done.

We couldn't help ourselves—there's so many good deals on chairs, but also cushions, desks, and office essentials, we had to assemble just a few.

Amazon

If you already love your office chair, it's been with you for years, you've seen so much together, you can't imagine replacing it with an upgrade, we get it. Customers rave about these seat cushions, saying that in just a few days, this pressure relief seat is doing wonders for their backs and necks. Plus, these $50 will get you a few more years of quality time without having to trade in for a newer model.

Amazon

This standing desk is a great foray into creating a posture-conscious workplace. It’s 24-inches across and comes in a variety of heights to best suit you, but the best part about a standing desk is its adjustability. You can also program this model to recall three various height settings.

Amazon

Standing desk lovers, you’re about to have an even better experience with this anti-fatigue mat to keep under your feet while you work. It’s low-profile and small, so you can stow it away when it’s not in use. (Pro tip: Pop it in the kitchen when you know you’ll be cooking for a while.)

Amazon

A standing desk converter is excellent to have if you already own a home office desk you love, or want a standing option for your desk in your work office. This one from Flexispot has two levels, which is great for two monitors and a laptop, or a monitor and keyboard. It's manual, too, so you don't have to worry about cords and buttons.

A high-quality chair will pay for itself in a handful of ways. First, it’ll last longer than ones that are constructed poorly, in the hopes that you’ll be able to use it for years and years before replacing. Second, high-quality chairs usually have more cushioning, more thoughtful construction, and more points of adjustment—all of which are important for your physical health, especially if you plan on sitting on your task chair for eight hours a day. “A proper fitting desk chair is one of the cornerstones of postural health,” neurosurgeon Betsy Grunch, MD, FAANS, FACS previously told Clever. “People who sit for long hours in a poorly adjusted chair will experience neck, back, shoulder and hip pain. This can trigger headaches, lack of concentration and compression of the discs in the spine.”

You’ve definitely heard of the word ergonomic, but it can be tough figuring out exactly what that means for your home office chairs. “A chair that is coined “ergonomic” should offer firmness that is supportive yet comfortable,” Kristy Basinger PT, CHT, previously told us. “It should have multiple components that adjust all aspects of the chair. Adjustments are important because we all have different body types and heights.” Using adjustable components so that your chair fits your body (and not the other way around) keeps your spine in a healthy position, which reduces the risk of hurting your back or neck.

Every chair feels a little bit different for every single person. There are a few things to keep in mind when you’re looking for a comfy chair that isn’t going to cause you any pain now or in the future.
