Office chairs

A proper home office setup is more than a desk and decent Wi-Fi. Your office chair is where you spend most of your day. Get the wrong one, and expect a stiff neck by Tuesday, lower back pain by Thursday, and an overall well-being that takes a hit you didn't budget for by Friday.

As Australia's leading home entertainment and tech retailer, JB and JB Marketplace are where Aussies go to sort their workspace, with a huge range of office furniture available at JB and even more online-only options on JB Marketplace. Long hours or short days, there's an office chair in this collection that fits how you work.

The main types of office chairs available at JB and on JB Marketplace are ergonomic chairs, gaming chairs, executive chairs, task chairs and mesh back chairs. Not all chairs are built the same, and the difference matters more than most people think.

Here’s how you can tell them apart:

• Ergonomic office chairs – Designed around how your body sits for hours at a stretch. Think adjustable lumbar support, a contoured backrest, footrest and configurable armrests as standard.
• Gaming chairs – High back build, deep cushioning and bold styling. Gaming chairs double as solid computer chairs and desk chairs for home setups and hold up well under daily use.
• Executive office chairs – The premium pick. An executive chair usually comes in genuine leather with a high back and a frame that suits both a private office or a home setup.
• Task chairs – Trim, practical and built for focused work. A task chair offers core adjustments without the bulk, making it the right choice for tighter office spaces.
• Mesh back chairs – The mesh back keeps air moving so you stay comfy across a full workday. A popular pick for home offices, especially in a warmer Australian climate.

To choose the best office chair for you, you need to think about how long you sit, what you're doing while you sit, and what your body needs to get through it. Think functionality, adjustability, support, comfort and durability, and you're most of the way there.

• At your desk from nine to five and then some? Adjustable seat height, adjustable armrests and proper lumbar support are the features that matter. If you mix sitting and standing, a height-adjustable chair that works alongside stand desks is worth the extra thought.
• Deep in a game and not planning to stop soon? A high-quality gaming chair with a reclining backrest, adjustable headrest and armrests that move where you need them keeps you in it without paying for it the next day.
• Running the show from a home office? An executive office chair with a high backrest, smooth swivel base and genuine leather upholstery handles long days and looks the part doing it.
• Grinding through a long study session? Adjustable seat height, solid lumbar support and a swivel base are all you need. For students, a task chair or ergonomic chair hits that mark without the premium price tag.
• Back already had enough? Prioritise deep lumbar support, a contoured backrest, an adjustable headrest and armrests that take the load off your shoulders. A reclining function lets you shift position through the day rather than sitting locked in one spot.
