If you’re part of the ever-growing crowd that works from home, you know how easy it is to fall into the trap of spending your days on the couch, hunched over a laptop. And while a cushy sofa certainly sounds like a comfortable place to spend your 9-to-5, it won’t do your lower back or joints any favors after a while—so investing in an office chair that’s built to offer both support and comfort is one of the best investments that you can make.
But there are a lot of choices out there when it comes to office chairs, so we’ve pulled together a list of the best-selling models on Amazon (only one from each brand) with the best user ratings (at least 700 customer reviews). Check them out below.
Sitting all day can cause poor circulation, but this chair’s curved waterfall seat helps combat that by promoting healthy blood flow to the legs, according to the company. Coupled with its lumbar support and adjustable armrests, this chair is built for comfort when working for long stretches.
Have you ever leaned too far back in an office chair and felt like you were going to topple over? OFM decided to take care of that issue with this model, which offers tilt control, so you can decide just how far back this chair can lean.
This chair’s adjustable height fights the good fight against hunching. With just the touch of a lever, you can lower or raise the BestOffice to the optimal height so you can sit up straight, while its armrests can take some pressure off your shoulders and neck.
If you’re someone that has a hard time getting comfortable, go for the AmazonBasics, because, in addition to changing the height, you can also adjust the chair’s tilt and control how much it can rock back and forth. The model also has a butterfly seat with adjustable settings and curved contours for some added back support throughout the day.
This chair’s integrated lumbar pad, made from high-density foam, molds to your lower back for optimal support. Combine that with its designated neck rest, and sitting for the entire day just got a lot easier.
Supporting the lower back is key, but that’s not the only way this chair saves your muscles from a day of sitting. It also has an AirGrid back that conforms to your lower body, along with adjustable, tilting armrests. Basically, this chair helps you find the comfort sweet spot for your daily routine.
Furmax’s mesh backing promotes airflow to your whole body and helps prevent the unpleasantness that comes with your back sticking to your chair in a hot office. Coupled with its two lumbar support bars and plush seat cushion, it’ll be easier to grind out those long days at your desk.
Like some of the models above, this Flash Furniture chair also has a waterfall seat to help with leg circulation and a mesh back to keep you cool. And the high headrest can be adjusted specifically for your height. It’s like a best-of chair, combining all the standout features on this list.
According to the company, using the DRAGONN can help you with your posture, as it forces you to sit upright and prevents leaning or hunching. While it may take a little getting used to, the unconventional build offers plenty of benefits if you’re looking to keep your back straight and your core engaged.

Smartphones are a daily necessity at this point, whether you’re using them for work or socializing (or both at the same time). And with the countless hours people spend on their phones every week, the need to charge them quickly and on the go has only grown. We now need chargers in our homes, in our cars, at the office, and in our travel bags, just to give us enough juice to carry us through the day. To make sure you’re never at 5 percent battery while answering important work emails or perusing Reddit, we’ve rounded up a list of 10 of the best-selling and top-rated phone chargers on Amazon, including solar-powered and wireless models.
This top-rated wireless charger is compatible with most recent smartphones and AirPod models—and you don’t even need to remove your phone case for it to work. Reviewers report that it can fully charge most phone models in two to four hours.
More than 4400 user reviews gave this wireless charger five stars, praising it for its value and reliability. Plus, the propped angle allows you to charge your phone both vertically and horizontally, letting you watch videos or scroll through social media without losing any battery.
This solar-powered combination power bank/flashlight/compass is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts (or emergency preparedness devotees). Reviewers say that this charger holds an impressive amount of battery, able to charge two devices at once—with plenty of juice left to spare. Bring it on your next camping trip or keep it stored in an emergency kit.
This lightweight foldable charger includes four weather-resistant solar panels that you can attach to a backpack so you can charge as you hike. While it’s pricier than the other items on this list, users say it packs a punch.
This portable wall charger can accommodate two devices at one time, and user reviews praise this model for its simplicity and durability. Just remember to provide your own charging cable—because this product is compatible with several different device models, it doesn’t come with a cable of its own.
We’ve all had those moments where our phones are at 4 percent battery and there’s no outlet in sight. Prepare ahead with this portable charger from Anker, which can handle multiple devices on the go. This charger comes packed with a lot of power—Anker estimates that this device can give smartphones an extra 92 hours of battery life every time it’s recharged. This is exactly the type of charger you need in your bag if you’re a commuter.
While more and more cars include built-in USB outlets to accommodate smartphones, those of us who drive older cars aren’t quite so lucky. But you can make up for that with this affordable high-speed car charger, which plugs into your car’s cigarette lighter and powers multiple devices at once. This charger is compatible with just about any device, provided you have a cable to attach it to the USB port.
This device does double duty as a phone charger and a car mount. It requires a bit of setup to attach this charger to your dashboard, but once that’s complete, your phone can act as a convenient, hands-free GPS while charging up.
This portable charger can give your iPhone an extra 25 hours worth of battery if you’re in a bind. Plus, it’s convenient—you can charge both your phone and the wireless battery case simultaneously using the same charging cable. Have a newer model of iPhone? Swaller’s got you covered with a selection of other battery cases.
If you’re not an Apple user at all, you might instead opt for this battery case that’s compatible with the Samsung Galaxy S8. As with Swaller’s iPhone case, you can charge both your phone and the battery case itself at the same time—there’s no need to remove the case in order to get a full charge.
