Here are the best chairs for work and play in 2019
Whether you’re slaving away in the office or rapt in your favorite Netflix series, it’s important to feel comfortable. Here are the best chairs we have come across in 2019 — from ergonomic designs to gaming recliners.

- How much should you spend on an ergonomic chair? It’s worth investing good money, but you don’t need to spend over $1,000.
- Do I need a specialist gaming chair? Not necessarily, although they are usually a little more adjustable, and feature more cushioning than others.
- Do bean bags provide proper support? Yes, assuming you’re happy to recline. For this reason, they are best for relaxing.
A good chair is one that you don’t really notice. It will not make your back ache, and the arms will not be hard enough to bruise your elbows. This kind of seating perfection allows you to concentrate entirely on whatever you’re doing — whether that’s facing up the Fortnite competition or compiling spreadsheets. Here are some of our favorites.
