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/

For coffee consumers on the go,try the Breville Dual Boiler Espresso Machine.The double boiler lets you jump between its three main functions without having to wait for the machine to catch up, so you're always minutes away from liquid joy.📸: Breville wired.trib.al/Ah9giSj 3/8

"We somehow think the humanity of those who haven't received the vaccine is somehow less than ours," says Dr. Nahid Bhadelia. "There are still some parts of the world where only 5% of people are vaccinated."

If you want to get the whole family up and moving this year, try the Oculus Quest 2. But make sure you use the straps on the controllers, or you might lose one to the cranberry sauce. 📸: Oculus 2/8

The Nintendo Switch is a universal hit, but why not improve on (near) perfection and go bigger and brighter this year - hello OLED model. Oh and you’ll never have to deal with the original Switch’s god-awful kickstand again. 📸: Nintendo 3/8 wired.trib.al/GVwjnZ2

Where do electric vehicle batteries go when they die? Right now, Oklahoma City, of all places. Here’s what’s going on: 1/12

A Dutchman-turned-Oklahoman named Dirk Spiers has for a decade worked to transform his Spiers New Technologies into an authority on the death—and life—of batteries. In his facilities, batteries are disassembled, fixed, refurbished, and recycled. 2/12

But the world will need many, many more companies like SNT. 230 million EVs may be on the road by 2030; millions of batteries may be at or close to retirement by then. 3/12

So you’re vaccinated? Great—Now all you gotta do is prove it. Here’s how to make showing your vaccine card nice and easy—all from your mobile device. wired.trib.al/TnOoD6P 1/10

To get started, you’ll need an official digital record of your vaccine information. You can get this from government websites, your healthcare provider, or the place where you received your shot. 2/10

Apple’s iOS 15 allows you to save the card in Apple Wallet, which will let you be ready well before the burly bouncer at the door of your local tiki bar starts glaring at you. To add the info to Apple Wallet, you’ll need a SMART card. 3/10
