The Best Ergonomic Office Chair

It was the lowest-priced chair here at the time of writing. An all-elastic mesh back and high-density sponge seat suit all-day use, and the casters roll on tile, wood and carpet. Its 300 lbs weight capacity ranks fourth of 5 here, behind the Nexthro (400 lbs) and ahead of the 275 lb mesh chair (275 lbs).

Its 120° recline angle is the shallowest in this group; the 275 lb mesh chair leads at 135°. The DUMOS executive's arms flip up, so it can roll closer under a desk with a low front edge. It undercut the 275 lb mesh chair and every other pick on price at the time of writing.

It has a 275 lb capacity. A reinforced metal frame and five-point base support up to 275 lbs, and a retractable footrest is included. The headrest and backrest adjust.

On weight capacity it trails the group at 275 lbs, while the Nexthro is rated for 400 lbs. On recline angle it ties with the 330 lb flip-up mesh chair at 135°. It is the only pick here with a pillow lumbar support; the DUMOS executive has an adjustable up/down (mesh) lumbar support instead.

It also offers a 90 to 135 degree recline. The 275 lb mesh chair's lumbar support is a strap-on pillow, so position it by hand rather than with a dial. It was priced above the DUMOS executive and below the Nexthro at the time of writing.

It also is rated for 400 lbs. Its lumbar pad moves 1 inch forward and back and just over 3 inches up and down, and the seat cushion is 3.2 inches thick. The mesh back keeps it cooler than a leatherette chair.

The seat is 20.9 inches wide by 20.7 inches deep, and assembly takes about 15 to 20 minutes. Nothing else here matches its 400 lbs weight capacity; the 330 lb flip-up mesh chair comes closest at 330 lbs. It shares an adjustable lumbar support with the 330 lb flip-up mesh chair and TRALT; the 275 lb mesh chair goes with a pillow lumbar support.

Check the Nexthro's seat width against your hips as well as its weight rating. On price it sat third of 5, between the cheaper 275 lb mesh chair and the pricier 330 lb flip-up mesh chair, at the time of writing.

On the spec sheet, it is rated for 330 lbs and reclines to 135°. On weight capacity it ties with the TRALT at 330 lbs. On recline angle it ties with the 275 lb mesh chair at 135°.

Like the Nexthro and TRALT, it has an adjustable lumbar support, while the DUMOS executive uses an adjustable up/down (mesh) lumbar support. The 330 lb flip-up mesh chair's arms flip up, so it can roll closer under a desk with a low front edge. When we checked, only the Nexthro and cheaper picks cost less, and the TRALT cost more.

It also is rated for 330 lbs. The molded high-density foam seat is meant to resist flattening. Its lumbar support adjusts in depth, and the mesh back avoids the peeling of faux leather.

It matches the 330 lb flip-up mesh chair on weight capacity (330 lbs). It shares an adjustable lumbar support with the Nexthro and 330 lb flip-up mesh chair; the 275 lb mesh chair goes with a pillow lumbar support. It was the highest-priced of the 5 picks at the time of writing, so the case for it rests on what it adds over the 330 lb flip-up mesh chair and the rest. The maker doesn't give its recline angle; if that figure matters, the 275 lb mesh chair reclines to 135°.
