One thing I’d push readers to check before buying any sub-$200 chair: sit in it (or read the return policy) and pay attention to where the lumbar hits your back. We’ve tested several budget chairs where the lumbar pad sits an inch or two too high for average-height women, which means it’s pushing on the lower thoracic spine instead of the L3-L4 curve, and that can actually make back pain worse. A chair with no lumbar at all is often more forgiving than one with a poorly-positioned fixed pad. Would love to see this guide updated with a note on lumbar height range for each pick.
