Working from home isn’t always convenient, so it should at least be comfortable. We've spent the past year sitting on more than 15 office chairs, and these are our favorites. If you buy something using our links, WIRED may earn a commission. wired.trib.al/C7VbO2X 1/
A good chair comes with a variety of adjustments. Branch's Ergonomic Chair fits this bill. It's surprisingly sleek and easy to assemble with tons of little tweaks you can make—without the outlandish price. 📸: Branch wired.trib.al/Qkt6rSl 2/
The FlexFit Hyken Mesh Task Chair is one of the most affordable good options out there. It reclines, has a breathable mesh fabric on the back and seat, and it's sturdy. You even get a headrest and lumbar support. 📸: Staples wired.trib.al/bLbIh2C 3/
The Herman Miller Embody is one of the most eye-catching and comfortable chairs around, especially with the rib-like design on the back. Herman Miller offers a 12-year warranty that covers all parts, & it arrives completely assembled. 📸: Embody wired.trib.al/uM98SP0 4/v
Movement is one of the best ways to counter the woes of sitting in a chair all day. The Ariel QOR360 helps ensure you're sitting upright and moves slightly so your body will continually shift a little throughout the day. 📸: QOR360 wired.trib.al/epVN6Q0 5/
This isn't an expensive chaise lounge, but the AmazonBasics Mesh is surprisingly comfortable even after hours and hours of sitting. The mesh back is breathable, the casters are smooth, and the armrests don't feel too obstructive. 📸: Amazon wired.trib.al/IINewFt 6/
If you can't upgrade your chair just yet, a cushion or backrest might help. This memory foam seat is very comfortable. It's best paired with an adjustable chair and does a great job of keeping out bad odors—plus, it’s washable. 📸: Cushion Labs wired.trib.al/vyuPkD1 7/

EXCLUSIVE: An analysis of 3.6 billion coordinates reveals the detailed movements of US military and intelligence workers, moving from nuclear bases to brothels, a WIRED analysis with @BR_Presse and @netzpolitik_org reveals. wired.trib.al/B3fHoSG
The findings provide vivid examples of the significant risks the unregulated sale of phone location data by US data firms and how they can pose a risk to the integrity of its military and the safety of its service members and their families overseas. wired.com/story/phone-da…
Experts caution that this poses a risk as it could give access to foreign governments that could use this data to identify individuals with access to sensitive areas, give criminals the ability to see where US nuclear weapons are least guarded and more. wired.com/story/phone-da…
EXCLUSIVE: Canvassers for California representative Michelle Steel are suing the congresswoman's campaign, America PAC, and others, alleging that they were promised hourly wages, then told pay would depend on how many doors they knocked.
The named plaintiffs were canvassers for Steel in October of this year, according to the suit, which alleges that they weren’t paid agreed-upon wages. America PAC is named because it provided campaigning services for Steel. wired.com/story/elon-mus…
These allegations are different from those WIRED reported earlier this week, when canvassers in Michigan said they were tricked and threatened as part of Elon Musk and America PAC’s get-out-the-vote effort for Donald Trump
NEW: Constitutional sheriffs are duly elected lawmen who believe they answer only to god. They've spent the last 6 months preparing to stop a "stolen" election.
It's a warning: 10 days out from the election, they'll do anything to make sure Trump wins. wired.com/story/constitu…
“Sheriffs are really beholden to nobody,” says Pelfrey. “Once elected, a sheriff has tremendous power, and there have been sheriffs who have been convicted and still hold office."
In nearly one in three US counties, sheriff departments are the largest law enforcement agency, meaning sheriff’s offices are the primary law enforcement agency for 56 million people. wired.com/story/constitu…
