2025 has flown by, and Black Friday sales are nearly here. As the biggest sales event of the year, Black Friday is the perfect time to buy big-ticket items like one of the best TVs, a coffee machine, or even home office essentials—which can be tax deductible for the 2025-26 financial year.

### Steelcase: Trusted Office Furniture Brand

When it comes to office furniture, Steelcase is an established brand known for making some of the best office chairs in Australia. Their products don’t usually come cheap, but the quality is undeniable. Now that the year’s biggest sale season is upon us, Steelcase has started dropping early Black Friday deals, including an exclusive extra discount for TechRadar Australia readers that can be used across the entire store.

If you’re spending hours at your desk for work, this is a great opportunity to invest in a high-quality office chair.

## How to Choose a Good Office Chair

If you’re new to shopping for office chairs this Black Friday, we have a full guide that explains how to choose the best office chair. But if you just need a quick summary of key features and specs to watch for before committing to a deal, here’s what to keep in mind:

### Design

There are two main options: mid-back and high-back chairs.

– **Mid-back chairs** support your lower back up to your shoulders and offer more freedom of movement.
– **High-back chairs** provide complete spinal support, including the neck and shoulders, but can restrict movement more. This style is often recommended for those sitting at a desk all day.

### Material

Your main choices are fabric or mesh:

– **Mesh** is highly recommended for Australians because it offers firm support and breathability.
– **Fabric** provides soft, padded comfort, but can become sweaty in warmer, humid climates.

You might also see chairs made from faux leather (sometimes called PU leather or leatherette). We usually favour fabric or mesh over faux leather for comfort and breathability.

### Lumbar Support

– **Fixed lumbar support** holds a single, rigid position that fits most people of average height.
– **Adjustable lumbar support** can be raised, lowered, and moved forward or backward to suit your specific back shape—offering a better fit for more body types.
– **Dynamic lumbar support** is the best choice, providing ongoing support as you shift position.

Ultra-cheap office chairs often lack lumbar support entirely, which we advise against. Fortunately, all Steelcase chairs come with some form of lumbar support.

### Armrests

Office chair armrests commonly come in 2D, 3D, or 4D varieties, referring to how many directions the armrests can be adjusted — up, down, backward, forward, inward, and outward.

### Adjustments

For a truly tailored fit, look for chairs that let you adjust:

– Seat height
– Seat depth
– Recline and tilt (make sure these are lockable if you want them to be)
– Headrest position and angle (if included), for better neck support

### Chair Height Guide

Here’s a quick reference for what your chair height should be, based on your own height:

| Your Height | Recommended Chair Seat Height |
|———————-|——————————-|
| Under 5’0″ (152 cm) | 15″ – 17″ (38 – 43 cm) |
| 5’0″–5’6″ (152-168 cm) | 17″ – 19″ (43 – 48 cm) |
| 5’6″–6’0″ (168-183 cm) | 19″ – 21″ (48 – 53 cm) |
| Over 6’0″ (183 cm) | 21″ – 23″ (53 – 58 cm) |
