Six office chairs that actually fit users 5'6" and under, ranked by seat height, depth, and arm reach - from the Steelcase Leap V2 to the sub-$400 Sihoo M59AS.
Sciatica-friendly chairs share three traits: dynamic lumbar support that targets L4-L5, a waterfall seat edge to ease thigh and hip pressure, and enough adjustability to keep your spine in neutral. These six picks - from the budget Sihoo Doro C300 to the premium Herman Miller Aeron - meet that bar.
Most floor scratches come from one cheap part the chair industry refuses to fix: the casters. Swap them, then pick from these four chairs we trust on bare wood.
A square the size of a generous bedroom is enough - if you choose the right three pieces and accept the right three constraints.
