Working from home is a job perk that many careers are able to encompass these days, thanks largely to a diverse number of businesses operating digitally. Of course, operating from home poses its own set of problems and challenges; namely kitting out a dedicated workspace that can house your computer, office desk, and various means of storage. One common mistake that homeowners make when furnishing their home office is disregarding a dedicated home office chair in favour of a normal household chair. It is important not to do this! Though this may seem like an additional expense that you could do without, office chairs are specifically designed to help both posture and productivity; using a standard means of seating will prove incredibly uncomfortable over time and may also lead to a string of health problems too.
To help ease your working-from-home woes, the BiGDUG team has put together a list of home office chairs that are ergonomic, affordable, and definitely worth your attention.

If you’re searching for an excellent all-around office chair for your home setup, look no further than the Ergo-Tek Mesh Chair.
Part of our executive office chairs range, the Ergo-Tek features a high-quality, luxury mesh back and an incredibly breathable contoured seat pad, both of which work in tandem and allow you to sit for hours at a time at your desk (with those all-important short breaks planned in, of course).
Its durable Elasti-Mesh construction eases the strain on the material over time, meaning that you’ll most certainly get your money’s worth, while the Ergo-Tek is also packed full of additional features including:
