When looking for an office chair, it’s important to try out different models in the store before shopping online, says Schell. When trying out a chair in person, think about what you will be doing in it, he adds.

For example, most people’s instinct when they sit in a chair is to lean back, but really, you’ll be spending most of your time reading emails and leaning forward at your desk. Make sure that you think about both when you’re at the store.

“It’s almost like Goldilocks and the Three Bears,” says Schell. “You have to try all the porridge until you find what’s just right. Everybody’s body is a little bit different, so trying out the different styles of chairs is how you find the one that you like.”

Like the porridge that was in between too hot and too cold, this chair from Steelcase Series includes many of the same features as higher-end chairs, like adjustable arms and a flexible seat, without the hefty price tag.

Plus, it’s equipped with a weight-activated component that automatically provides the right amount of back tension each time you sit and recline. You can even add on a headrest for personalized comfort and support.
