If your frame is bigger than mine (5”6, size 16, essentially an average build plus biscuits) you might find that the cushion is a little too small for you, but for the vast majority, it makes a nifty – and much more affordable – alternative to forking out on actual furniture. You can adjust almost every moving part of the Branch Furniture Verve Chair. The seat height, lumbar support, armrests, and tilt feature can all be customized to your liking. You can even adjust both how much it tilts and how much tension the tilt gives you. The adjustability of the chair helped it fit our body well, providing relief where we needed it.

Height: 37 to 41 in | Weight Capacity: 275 lbs | Headrest: No | Adjustable: Yes | Warranty: 7 years Our editors received 14 office chairs at home and used them at least twice per week for a full, eight-hour workday. Testers were encouraged to take a movement break every 30 to 60 minutes when sitting in the chair for work. This helped us evaluate the comfort and support of each chair within the recommended parameters. According to our testing expert, Kelsey Rosen, DPT, physical therapist at the Hospital for Special Surgery, you shouldn’t be overly comfortable in your office chair: you’re supposed to be reminded to get up and take frequent breaks.

Grondin, D. E., et al. (2013). The effect of a lumbar support pillow on lumbar posture and comfort during a prolonged seated task. Height: 36.5 to 41.25 in | Weight Capacity: 400 lbs | Headrest: No | Adjustable: Yes | Warranty: Limited lifetime The shape of [a lumbar] cushion ideally matches the natural curve of your spine, and the bottom of the pillow should support the sacrum or tailbone,” says Eby. “This will create a base of support for your entire spine.” Her preferred material? Anything inflated. “Inflatable cushions allow firmness adjustment as well as the ability to shift your weight and activate your core muscles throughout the day,” she explains.

Height: 41.5 to 47 in | Weight Capacity: 325 lbs | Headrest: No | Adjustable: Yes | Warranty: 12 years Design: Whether a chair is classic or modern isn’t typically a dealbreaker for an otherwise perfect chair. But we know many people consider aesthetics when shopping, so we noted any major design features, styles, or flaws. Comfort: We considered how wide and deep the seat was, and whether the cushioning was sufficient to allow for longer periods of sitting.
For a midrange pillow (in terms of pricing), we were impressed at the construction and never noticed any flattening out. That said, we weren’t able to test this pillow as much as one we would keep in an office chair since it’s just for the car—and sometimes we simply didn’t feel we needed the extra support and removed it mid-drive.Most cushions are either inflatable or made of memory foam, and while one isn’t necessarily better than the others, it’s important to know what you need in terms of support before you choose between them. Physical therapist Susan Eby, MS, of Eby Physical Therapy in New York City, says too-firm cushions are uncomfortable, but that squishy memory foam can, in some cases, compress too much to provide many benefits. Below, we answer some common questions about lumbar support pillows. Do lumbar support pillows really work? Memory Foam: Most lumbar support pillows are made with memory foam because it’s the perfect blend of soft and firm support. You should note, though, that memory foam’s overall firmness changes with the temperature: colder air will make it firmer, and warmer air will make it softer, while room temperature is best for medium support.
Setup: We assessed how easy it was to receive and assemble the chair. If white glove delivery was performed we noted that, along with how clear the instructions were and if we needed a second person to help us put it together. Based on our testing of 19 lumbar support pillows, the Samsonite Ergonomic Lumbar Support Pillow is our top choice thanks to its soft-but-firm memory foam, secure fit, and high-quality construction. We continue to test each lumbar support pillow at home and will update our recommendations if we notice anything substantial that we haven't already documented. If you spend eight to 10 hours a day at your desk, Dr. Radermacher says investing in a good office chair is basically investing in a long-term commitment to your spinal health. His advice? Don’t cut corners, but you don’t have to break the bank, either: with a little research, you can find an affordable office chair that provides just as much value as the more expensive brands.

You should also be able to make adjustments easily, ideally while you’re seated in the chair, without worrying about stability. We tested 19 lumbar support pillows for two weeks and tested them at least five times per week for a minimum of 30 minutes per use. Throughout the testing, we evaluated each pillow based on five attributes:
