What should I look for in an ergonomic chair under $500?

Under $500, look for BIFMA certification (proof of commercial-grade testing), a mesh back (more durable and cooler than foam at this price point), adjustable lumbar support, and at least 3D armrests. Brands like Office Star, Boss, and OFM consistently deliver solid ergonomic chairs in the $250–$450 range that outperform most big-box residential chairs costing the same. Avoid models without lumbar adjustment or with only 1D armrests in this price range — those are compromises that become daily annoyances.
