Best Rolling Chair Reviews 2017

The material used and the adjustment mechanism are some of the factors that affect the pricing of a rolling chair. A quality leather chair that has a conventional tilt mechanism and 360-degree swivel base will cost close to $400 while a basic design, functional one can go for about $50. Of course if you are looking for a super, duper high quality executive style chair, you can pay as much as $1000 or more.

You can probably find cheap rolling chairs, but we recommend only going for these if you really need a chair and your budget is really tight. Most of the time, a cheap chair won’t last and, let’s be honest, no one wants to spend any amount of money on a chair that’s just not comfortable!

Having a chair that provides maximum comfort regardless of sitting duration is ideal. Although ergonomic chairs are often recommended as the best types to get, you may actually find that ergo seats aren’t good for your particular posture (or very comfortable).

Some other features you’ll want to look out for include…

• Lumbar support
• Back rest
• Adjustability
• Fabric
• Armrest
• Swivel
• Wheel base

The list help you figure out the right type of chair. As you read on, we’ll explain how these features affect the quality of your chair.

A good rolling chair can help solve the most common workplace complaint, which is back pain. Some are designed to massage while others offer support for your lumbar. You’ll mainly want to think about what your typical workday is like. If you move around a lot, for example, you may want to get a chair that doesn’t have a backrest so you can work on your posture when you’re sitting. If you’re someone who has to sit in the chair all day long, you might want something softer with extra back support and adjustable armrests.

For people who have the space to move around, looking at chairs that can swivel, tilt, and roll across hard surface or carpet is a good idea. Chairs that have good maneuverability will allow you to get things without ever having to stand up (unless you want to, of course). Maneuverability is especially important if you’re someone who has to sit all day and also be on the phone. That way, you can roll, tilt, swivel and reach for whatever you need without having to drop the receiver (or controller, for our gamer friends).

The type of material the chair is covered with is also important. If your workplace is really cold, a cloth chair might be better than a leather one. Similarly, if your workplace is really hot, your legs might stick to a leather chair. Women especially will want to look at the chair’s material because their legs will likely come into contact with it more often (if you’re the skirt-and-dress type of lady!). The one benefit of leather over fabric is that leather is typically easier to clean and resists things, like accidental coffee spills, better than cloth.

Lastly, the size of your work or gaming space will determine your chair size. We highly recommend finding a few chairs you like, writing down their dimensions, and then measuring out your sitting space to see which one will fit best.

Choosing a suitable rolling chair will really help improve your comfort and your productivity. With the right one, you’ll find that your posture is better, you have less pain and you might even begin to take more joy out of your work. When you’re comfortable, your mood improves drastically, so don’t be surprised if getting a super comfy, super great rolling chair makes work a little less “ugh” and a little more “yay.”

Rolling chairs have varying weight capacities; some can accommodate as much as 325 pounds while others can only withstand 250 pounds. If you have back-related problems, a chair that offers support for your back, neck and lower back will really help!
