Work and home life are becoming increasingly intertwined as jobs offer more flexibility in where you complete your tasks. Studies show that remote workers spend 33% more time at their home office desks than in the office. That extra sitting time can wreak havoc on your body, and it can become unbearable if comfort is sacrificed. And the source of comfort for someone working a desk job 40-plus hours a week can be found in… an Amish desk chair. Here are the top 5 things that make an Amish desk chair more comfortable, along with what to look for when shopping for one.
The Back Support
A good desk chair that supports the back makes all the difference. Amish desk chairs offer a good shape and fit, with lower-back support that helps ease strain or compression on the spine.
The Amish Mission Office Chair with gas lift offers lower back support and comfy cushioning, and it can be made to match your home office style.
The Adjustable Features
Amish office chairs come in all shapes and sizes, and adjusting your chair to sit comfortably at your desk is essential. Amish desk chairs come with gas lifts, as pictured here, to adjust the chair height where you need it.
The Swivel Factor and Wheel Base For Ease of Movement
Straining to reach for papers on the other side of your desk won’t do. Amish desk chairs have wheels in the base to allow easy movement from the monitor to the phone to the file drawers.
A swivel option helps you access different desk areas without twisting and turning in your seat.
The Bradbury Desk Chair gets you where you need to go with a wheelbase and a swivel option.
The Cushioned Seat
Amish desk chairs offer just the right amount of plush. You don’t want cushioning that’s so thin you can feel the base of the seat through it, and you don’t want a seat that’s so soft you’re sinking into it and losing support. The front of the seat should have a curve or a cushion. Squared sharp edges are harsh against your legs and can interfere with proper circulation.
The Roxbury Desk Chair offers just the right cushioning with a comfy chair front. Cushioned armrests add to comfort and help relieve strain on the neck and shoulders. Available in a choice of custom fabric or leather.
Fabric should breathe so the seat doesn’t get too hot or uncomfortable. Higher-end fabrics are likely more breathable and more stain-resistant.
The Stability
Amish desk chairs are built with solid wood by experienced craftsmen. These gifted craftsmen observed their parents and grandparents making furniture in the traditional manner, seeing how well they worked. Today, our artisans continue to use these techniques, setting our furniture apart from the mass-produced pieces you can find at other retailers. Each chair is sturdy, durable, and attractive. You can rely on a durable desk chair with mortise-and-tenon joinery that delivers the strongest joints for support.

These are desk chairs that will demand attention, create a professional atmosphere, and make everyone want to sit in them when they see them.
