This handy guide will give you the confidence to purchase an office chair in the right way. Some of the things we will cover in this article include:

 

  1. Office chair price
  2. Office chair adjustability
  3. Office chair aesthetics 
  4. Types of office chairs 

So pop your feet up and relax as we give you all the tips and tricks on how to choose your perfect office chair. 


Office Chair Price 

Whether you’re on a budget, or wanting to splash a bit of extra cash on your office, we know that prices can range significantly when it comes to office chairs.

Buying an office chair is an important decision, so it is crucial to feel confident and happy with the amount of money that you will end up spending. 

Some of the top office chairs can cost within the hundreds and even thousands of pounds. These chairs usually focus on things such as finish, trimmings, and loads of padding to be at the top end of ergonomic and comfortable chairs. However, you don’t need to spend thousands of pounds to find an office chair that suits you. 

At Order Office Furniture, we have an impressive range of budget office chairs, perfect if you’re after a chair that looks expensive but costs a fraction of the price. With prices starting from just £59.99, you can get an attractive, high-end looking chair without the high price tag. 

You can still find chairs with seat height and slide adjustment, knee tilt adjustment, and full recline. Just because they are cheap, it doesn’t mean that you are limited in terms of functionality. 


Office Chair Adjustability 

Anyone who spends a lot of time in an office chair needs to factor in the ability to have plenty of adjustment. Being able to adjust your office chair into a variety of different positions is critical, especially if you suffer with back pain or posture issues. 

If you’re looking for an office chair with multiple adjustment functions, then we highly recommend investing in an ergonomic office chair. The health, comfort, and safety of any employee is essential for performing to high standards, so having an office chair that adapts is a great benefit to have. 

Some of the key benefits of ergonomic office chairs include: 

  • They reduce fatigue, muscle strain, and other pain caused by uncomfortable chairs. 
  • They take the individual into account, shaping itself to meet your needs.
  • They can work with an ergonomic or electric desk for increased job satisfaction.

Comfort is Key when Buying an Office Chair 

There’s no denying that if you work in an office or a home office you spend multiple hours at a time sitting down. That’s why it is crucial to feel comfortable and supported, especially in regards to the dangers of sitting down for too long.  

Having a chair that is adjustable is extremely important, as not only will it help to improve your posture, but it will keep you comfortable all day long. Remember to consider your height, weight, and general body shape when buying an office chair. 


Office Chair Aesthetics  

As well as price and adjustability, aesthetics are also very important when it comes to buying an office chair. 

Choosing the right colour, style, and fabric can have significant impact when placed along side your office decor. Office chairs don’t have to be bland and boring - in fact, Order Office Furniture has a wide range of office chairs that come in bright colours, from our fiery Red Leather Executive Chair to our vivid Modern Office Chair with Yellow Mesh.

If you already have most of your office decor nailed, then think about what sort of chair will fit into your space. Most of our office chairs come in neutral colours, such as grey, cream, or nude, ideal for blending into any office.

Think about if your chair needs to be short, tall, have armrests, or needs wheels. Factoring in these features and aesthetics can be the smallest of things that makes you either love or hate your office chair. 


Types of Office Chairs

When it comes to an office, there isn’t a perfect chair that suits all. Each individual has their own set of requirements, whether that is dependant on colour, style, or comfort. 

Luckily for you, Order Office Furniture has an extensive range of office chairs to browse through. The types of office chairs we have on offer include: 

  • Executive office chairs

    However, if you’re after something more stylish, then we highly recommend a fabric or leather office chair.
