Let’s count: if you work a desk job with 8 hours of work time, you will spend over 14,000 hours sitting in the next decade, equivalent to 2 full years. Therefore, it is crucial to have a comfortable chair that supports the body.
The right office chair is the first line of defence against chronic pain and lost productivity. After testing 1000+ chairs with ergonomic experts, Sunaofe found the most recommended office chairs blend three non-negotiables:
Decade-long durability (tested for 24/7 use, backed by over 5-year warranties)
Intuitive adaptability (workstyles from coding to creative)
