First, you will need a chair that can be adjusted correctly to fit your body while you do your work, be it working at the computer, receiving clients or writing. The most ergonomic and adjustable chairs are the one with a reclining back. They often come with a matching foot rest that can also be adjusted, and will be the most comfortable chairs for people with back problems.

Even if you don't have as many needs, at the very least you should try the chair in your usual working position to see if everything can be setup at the right height for you. If are big and tall, many heavy-duty chairs are designed for a wider variety of body types than standard office chairs and are longer-lasting.

The fabric and materials the chair is made of should also be considered. Leather is classy and strong and comfortable. Some people find leather too hot though, and opt for a mesh office chair that's more breathable. There is also a variety of synthetic fabrics that may be good options if your budget is more limited and you need a cheaper chair. Those fabrics are often available in a wider selection of colors and patterns too, unlike leather, which is usually available only in black or brown.

You should also check the quality of the chairs. The levers and buttons should feel strong and sturdy when you try them while sitting on the chairs. Also, pay attention to the strength of the wheels, especially if you're a bit more heavy: a chair with a broken wheel is pretty useless.

Finally, there is a wide array of chairs on the market so you will find one eventually. Just make sure you shop around and try them and you will find a chair that works for you.
