“At the end of a long day sitting at your work desk, wherever you are, all we want is to walk away feeling satisfied with our work. More often than not, however, we are walking away with acute lower back pain from our office chairs. It might seem a small complaint, but why suffer an ache that could hinder you from enjoying your evenings and weekends when the pain could be eased with the right chair?
The world of back care chairs and lumbar support might seem too daunting to enter. But with the right advice and recommendation, you can say goodbye to lower back pain in your working days. Check out our list of the best office chairs for back pain.
Before we dive into the list of the best chairs on the market, there are a few things that you should keep in mind when choosing an office chair. Everyone is different, and everyone sits differently. There are a handful of things to consider when browsing office chairs, including:

How do you sit in your chair while working?

How often do you sit in your office chair?

Is the chair adjustable to your needs?

What is the chair made out of? Will materials spread support or fixate on one area?
