The seat is extremely spacious so I’m able to sit criss cross applesauce, with my feet on the chair and both my knees tucked to my chest, and sometimes I like to sit with one leg up on the chair and the other in criss cross applesauce position. All positions are comfy! I have a pretty bad back so I was scared of sitting on it for long periods, but I’m able to pull all-nighters on it and I feel no pain! Definitely recommend if you’re a student, work from home, or just looking for a comfy, aesthetic chair.”

The Hype: 4.4 out of 5 stars and 76,156 reviews on Amazon.com
Comfy Butts Say: “I bought this chair because I needed to invest in something ergonomic with good back and neck support, due to a pinched nerve in my lower neck. After several iterations of gradually breaking a cheap-wad swivel desk chair every couple of years, I sprung for the kind of chair gamers use for long periods of sitting and upper body movement. No more rotating the base to the right angle so I’m not leaning sideways, and never quite getting it right. No more backaches from leaning forward in a low-backed chair, or not being able to lean back and see the screen. (I also added an external display at eye level for my MacBook.) The lumbar support is like nothing I have ever experienced! This chair was easy to assemble, and the parts include the very few tools you will need. The only controls are for height and reclining, so it’s nice and simple, with fewer moving parts to break. And the armrest height seems about perfect.”
