Best for comfort and personalisation... The Herman Miller Aeron Office Chair is the daddy of office chairs. Award winning ergonomic design, fully adjustable to your exact bum and back shape. It's not going to blend seamlessly into a living area or bedroom office, but in a seperate office it does have a highly functional beauty and it is available in a range of colours (well, not colours exactly, but several shades of grey). Your back and hips will thank you... John Lewis, from £1,099

Add a modern touch to your home with the Only Design Canary Side chair with wooden pyramid style legs. This beautiful and contemporary chair is inspired by the classic Eames DSW chair originally designed by Ray and Charles Eames. The Canary Chairs are not only stylish with modern colours and flavour, but also strong with sturdy wooden legs and metal brackets to support the seat, and comfortable with a padded seat cushion. With many vibrant colours you can mix and match to brighten any space…

For something completely different... An exercise ball chair. Sitting on exercise balls is good for your core but many of us don't really have the strength to do it properly for long, so this chair is a half way house, train your core while you work. Definitely one for the seperate office... Reform Me, 139.99 Euros

For advanced ergonomics geeks... Serious ergonomic design, the HAG Capisco 8106 Chair can be sat on front ways or backwards, feet up or down, perched or resting back. Great for wrigglers apparently, I think this is a separate office only chair, unless your living space is a radical post-modern one. A few colour/base configurations, here in blue wool Back 2, from £751

Simple modern elegance... The Form chair is another ergonomic masterpiece, would fit well into a clean modern office or dining space. Eminently customisable (arms, castors, seat padding) you can work it how you want. Normann Copenhagen, from £305

For a glamorous bedroom or neutral living area... Another stealth swivel that will just slide into your decor. No adjustment, but a lovely look and a padded seat. Also available in a vibrant yello twill. West Elm, £419

A real leather beauty... This quietly shouts midcentury style, comfort levels may vary but leather is a good material to sit on, so if you can try it out, it just might fit (height is adjustable but that's all). West Elm, £499.00

Lule Office Chair, Pine Green Velvet

For a funky modern space... Another Herman Miller chair, The Sayl, is on the more affordable end, but still great ergonomics and a striking look that would work well in a cool modern space, match the seat colour to your room, or go all black for a stealth look. Back 2, £427
