How to Choose a Brand
- Sitting all day? Start with Herman Miller, Steelcase, Haworth or Humanscale, whose chairs are built and warrantied for years of heavy use.
- Want a soft, padded seat? Look at Steelcase, especially the Amia.
- Run warm? Herman Miller's mesh and Humanscale's Liberty breathe best.
- Hate adjusting chairs? Humanscale and the Herman Miller Cosm adjust themselves.
- Use a standing desk? Consider the HÅG Capisco or Haworth Zody Dual Posture.
- On a budget? Branch, HON and SIHOO deliver a lot for less, and the Steelcase Series 1 is the most affordable premium-brand step up.
