Alright, so the Amazon Prime Big Deal Days might end at midnight - but I think most of the office chair deals worth getting are found off-site by going direct to the chair-maker.

In the UK, the FlexiSpot C7 is priced at £250 (was £340). And I really like the Boulies EP200 I'm using now, which is down to £190 (was £250).

If you want serious comfort, Vari is always a good chair-maker to check out. This deal caught my eye since, alongside the usual bells and whistles, it boasts a Tempur-Pedic cushion, which Vari says "adapts to your body’s temperature and weight, then returns to shape when you stand."

The FlexiSpot C7 is always worth checking out if you want a cheap ergonomic office chair. We found all the C7 series to be comfortable for prolonged sitting. For £10 extra, you can opt for the discounted wave design, which effectively splits the backrest and lumbar support into two for extra comfort.
