Home and Office Chairs at Easy Life Markets
This category brings together all of our home and office chairs: mesh task chairs, office and gaming chairs, accent and swivel chairs for the living room, lounge chairs and bean bags, floor chairs, bar stools, and outdoor chairs for the patio and garden. If you need somewhere comfortable to sit, start here. Easy Life Markets sells every chair in this range directly through our store, and each product page lists the dimensions, materials, options, current price and availability.
Which chair should you buy? First decide what it is for. For long hours at a desk, choose an office or task chair with height adjustment and good lower-back support. For a living room or bedroom, an accent chair or swivel chair adds a second seat that looks good and is comfortable for an hour with a book. For relaxing low down, look at lounge and floor chairs. For a kitchen counter, choose bar stools of the right height. For outdoors, choose materials that handle sun and rain. The guide below explains each type and what to check, and it applies to new chairs as we add them.

Office and Task Chairs
A good office chair supports you through a long working day. The most important features are seat height adjustment, so your feet rest flat on the floor, and lower-back support, so you can sit upright without slumping. Armrests that lift or move out of the way let you get close to the desk. A breathable mesh back stays cooler than solid padding.
The mesh task chair has a white frame, mesh back and flip-up arms, and comes in several configurations. The mesh office chair adds a headrest and reclines. For a padded executive feel, the reclining office chair offers footrest and massage options. The racing style office chair has a high back and gas lift.
The basic ideas behind ergonomics are worth a quick read before you choose, and our home office setup guide explains how to set chair, desk and screen heights together.
Many people now use one room for both work and rest, which is why we group home and office chairs together. A desk chair that looks tidy can sit in a living room corner without looking out of place, and a comfortable accent chair can serve as a seat for short tasks at a side desk. If you only have room for one chair, think about where you will spend the most hours sitting and choose for that first.
Gaming Chairs
Gaming chairs take their look from racing car seats. They usually have a tall back, a headrest pillow, a lumbar cushion and a deep recline, and many add a pull-out footrest. They suit people who sit for long sessions and like to lean back between games or during breaks from work.
Current choices include the gaming chair with footrest in six colours, the reclining gaming chair with a latex cushion, the massage gaming chair with a USB lumbar massage pillow, and the pink and white gaming chair. When you compare gaming chairs, check the seat width, the recline range and whether the footrest is included or optional, as options can change the price.
Accent Chairs and Swivel Chairs
An accent chair adds a seat beside the sofa, fills an empty corner or makes a reading spot near a window. It should look right in the room and be comfortable for an hour or so. Swivel chairs are handy in open rooms because you can turn between the TV and the conversation.
Look at the swivel barrel chair in green corduroy, the swivel accent chair with adjustable height, the mid century modern accent chair with a rubberwood frame and lumbar pillow, and the wingback accent chair with button tufting and rolled arms. Our guide to arranging a living room shows where extra chairs work best.
Lounge Chairs, Bean Bags and Floor Chairs
Low seating is for relaxing rather than sitting upright. It suits reading corners, teenagers' rooms, small apartments and homes where people like to sit close to the floor.
The pumpkin chair with footstool is a round compressed-foam lounge set. The wave lounge chair has a wooden frame and a choice of suede or lamb fleece. The bean bag chair comes in four sizes. For floor-level living, the tatami floor chair and the folding floor chair give back support without legs, and fold away when you need the space.
Low chairs are also easy to move between rooms. A bean bag can sit in a bedroom one week and beside the TV the next, and floor chairs fold flat for storage under a bed or behind a door.
Bar Stools
Bar stools need to match the height of the surface they sit at. As a common guide, counter height stools usually suit kitchen counters around 90 cm high, while taller bar height stools suit bars around 105 cm high. Leave roughly 25 to 30 cm between the seat and the underside of the counter for your legs, and around 60 cm of counter width per stool.
The counter height bar stools come as a set of three with wrap-around backs and arms and a seat height listed on the product page.
Outdoor Chairs
Outdoor chairs need materials suited to sun, wind and rain, such as treated wood, PE rattan and powder-coated steel. Cushions usually last longer if they are stored when not in use.
The folding Adirondack chair set is a pair of wooden patio chairs. The 2 person Adirondack chair is a wicker double seat with two footstools. The hammock chair with stand needs no tree or beam. For sunbathing, see the wicker chaise lounge and the folding tanning chair with a face cavity.
Materials Used in Chairs and What They Mean for You
The material changes how a chair feels, how it wears and how you clean it. Here is a quick guide to what you will see on product pages across our home and office chairs.
Mesh
Mesh is a stretched, open weave used on chair backs and sometimes seats. Air passes through, so it stays cooler on warm days. It flexes with your back and is easy to dust. It suits desk chairs used for many hours.
Padded fabric and foam
Foam under fabric gives a soft, cushioned seat. Thicker or higher-density foam keeps its shape longer. Latex cushions, used on some gaming chairs, feel springy and supportive. Fabric covers range from plain weaves to linen-look, corduroy and boucle.
Faux leather and eco-leather
These smooth, wipeable surfaces are common on gaming and executive chairs. They are easy to clean after spills, but can feel warm in hot weather.
Wood frames
Wood frames, such as rubberwood on mid century accent chairs, are strong and give a warm look. Wooden legs should be checked now and then for loose joints.
Metal bases and frames
Steel is used for swivel bases, office chair frames and bar stools. A five-star base with castors is standard on office chairs. Round pedestal bases suit swivel accent chairs.
Outdoor materials
Treated wood, PE rattan and powder-coated steel are chosen for outdoor chairs because they cope better with weather than indoor materials.
Setting Up Home and Office Chairs for Comfort
Even a good chair feels wrong if it is set up badly. A few minutes of adjustment makes a real difference, especially at a desk.
Getting home and office chairs to the right height
Sit back in the chair and adjust the height until your feet are flat on the floor and your thighs are roughly level. If your desk is too high to reach comfortably at that height, raise the chair and use a footrest. Your elbows should rest near the desk surface with your shoulders relaxed.
Back and arm support
Move the lumbar cushion or adjust the back so it fits the curve of your lower back. Set armrests so your arms rest lightly without lifting your shoulders, or flip them up if they stop you getting close to the desk.
Screen and posture
Place the top of your screen at or slightly below eye level and about an arm's length away. Stand up and move every half hour or so. No chair replaces regular movement.
How to Choose the Right Chair
- Decide the main use. Desk work, gaming, relaxing, eating at a counter or sitting outside all call for different designs.
- Check the size. Compare seat width, seat height and overall depth with your space. Measurements are on each product page where the supplier gives them.
- Check seat height. At a desk, your feet should rest flat with knees at about hip level. Desk chairs with gas lifts let you fine-tune this.
- Look at back support. For long sitting, a curved back or lumbar cushion helps you keep a natural posture.
- Allow for movement. Recliners need space behind them. Swivel chairs need space to turn. Rolling chairs work best on hard floors or with a chair mat on carpet.
- Choose the material. Mesh is cool and breathable. Padded fabric and faux leather feel soft. Corduroy and boucle add texture. Outdoor chairs need weather-suited materials.
- Check the options. Many chairs come in several colours, bases or with optional footrests, and the price can change between options.

Care and Maintenance
- Vacuum fabric and mesh with a soft brush attachment to remove dust and crumbs.
- Wipe faux leather with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh solvents.
- Blot spills on fabric straight away and test any cleaner on a hidden area first.
- Check and tighten screws and bolts on office and gaming chairs every few months.
- Clean castors now and then. Hair and fluff wrapped around the wheels make a chair harder to roll.
- Store outdoor cushions when not in use and cover outdoor chairs in bad weather.
- Keep chairs out of strong direct sun indoors to slow fading.
Safety Tips
Do not stand on swivel or rolling chairs. Stay within the weight capacity listed on the product page. Lean back gently in recliners and gaming chairs rather than dropping your weight suddenly. Keep fingers clear of folding and reclining mechanisms. With USB massage features, use the supplied cable and unplug when not in use. Hammock chairs should be set up on level ground following the instructions.
Buying Tips from Easy Life Markets
- Prioritise adjustment for desk chairs. Height adjustment and back support matter more than looks for daily use.
- Match the chair to the room. An accent chair should suit the sofa's scale and colour.
- Think about the floor. Rolling chairs on soft carpet benefit from a chair mat.
- Buy stools in sets so the counter looks consistent.
- Read the product page. Dimensions, materials and options are listed there. If something you need is missing, ask us before you order.
Who These Chairs Suit
Home workers need a proper task or office chair. Gamers and streamers often prefer high-back reclining chairs. Families and readers like a swivel or accent chair in the living room. Small apartments benefit from floor chairs and lounge seats that fold or move easily. Anyone with a patio or garden can add Adirondack chairs, a hammock chair or a lounger. Our full range of home and office chairs covers all of these needs in one place.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between an office chair and a gaming chair?
Office chairs focus on adjustment and support for upright work, often with a breathable mesh back. Gaming chairs have a racing-seat look, tall back, headrest and lumbar cushions, and usually a deeper recline.
What seat height do I need for my desk?
Set the seat so your feet are flat on the floor and your knees are about level with your hips. Then check your elbows rest near desk height.
Are mesh chairs comfortable?
Many people find mesh comfortable for long hours because it lets air through and flexes with your back. Others prefer padded seats. It is a matter of preference.
What height bar stool do I need?
Leave roughly 25 to 30 cm between the seat and the underside of the counter. Counter height stools suit most kitchen counters.
Can I use outdoor chairs indoors?
Yes, many outdoor chairs work well in sunrooms and conservatories. Indoor chairs are not usually suited to being left outside.
