11 Of The Best Leather Office Chairs

Are you looking to furnish your office? We’ve rounded up the best leather office chairs to choose from!

When it comes to your working day, choosing the right furniture can make or break your productivity. There are several factors to consider when choosing an office chair. You need a comfortable and durable chair that will provide lumbar support to prevent back pain.

So, which are the best leather office chairs to choose from?

Keep reading as we’ll discuss the 11 best leather office chairs that will keep you comfortable, productive, and pain-free at work!

What are the Pros of Leather Office Chairs?

A leather office chair is a pretty stylish chair to choose from for your office. It creates a sense of luxury, and a luxurious executive office chair can elevate your office and impress your clients, customers, and coworkers.

However, function over form is the best way to approach choosing your office chair, so let's look at some of the functional reasons why a leather office chair might benefit you.

Comfort

Leather office chairs typically have a padded seat cushion, a padded backrest, and armrests. Underneath the leather is a layer of foam, which will reduce the pressure on your bones when you sit down. The padding in a leather office chair makes it an extremely comfortable choice.

Durability

Whether you go for a faux or genuine leather office chair, you can expect durability. The material will only wear slowly, and you can expect to get plenty of use out of your leather chair.

Stain Resistance

If you opt for leather office chairs, you’ll benefit from stain resistance. If you spill something on your office chair, you don't need to worry about staining. You can spray and wipe it clean to eliminate the spill—and it won't leave any residue that spoils the chair's design.

What are the Cons of Leather Office Chairs?

No chair can be completely perfect. Here are some cons to consider when weighing up whether the leather is the perfect option for your desk chair.

Breathability

A leather office chair is not your friend if you're prone to sweating in the summer months. Unfortunately, since the fabric is water resistant, your sweat will not have anywhere to go, leading to sweat patches on your back and rear. If you're prone to sweating, a mesh chair might be a better option.

Needs to be 'Conditioned' to Stay in Top Shape

Are you familiar with shoe polish and how it keeps leather shoes in mint condition? The same goes for your leather office chairs. You’ll need to condition or treat your executive office chair to keep the leather in perfect condition.

Prone to Scratches

Although leather is quite durable, it can still be scratched. So, if you purchase a leather office chair, you’ll need to take care not to scratch the leather with your car keys or pens in your pocket, and to keep any false nails away from the seat cushion.

What Factors Should I Consider When Choosing a Leather Office Chair?

Below, you'll find some of the top factors that you should consider when buying a leather office chair.

Type of Leather—Top Grain Vs. Bonded Leather

Bonded leather is a mixture of genuine leather and top-grain leather. It is often cheaper than top-grain leather. If your chair gets a rip or hole, it will be challenging to repair. Top grain leather is high-quality PU leather with the top layer removed.

Adjustability

If you want the best leather office chair, you need to know that you can adjust the parameters of the chair to suit your body size and type. Adjustable seat features are also known as ergonomic features. Here are some of the ergonomic chair features that you should be looking for when choosing a leather executive chair

  • Adjustable seat height—you’ll need your chair to align perfectly with your desk height, so you'll need adjustable seat height.
  • Adjustable armrests—you'll need to rest your arms comfortably while working on your computer, so you'll need adjustable armrests that can sit at the perfect height where your arms naturally fall.
  • Adjustable tilt tension knob—you'll need to recline in your seat to give your pelvic bones a rest from the pressure of your body every once in a while, and an adjustable seat tilt can help alleviate this pressure.
  • Adjustable seat depth—you can adjust the distance of the chair's seat cushion from the chair's backrest to accommodate a smaller or larger body size, which is perfect for petite or large individuals who need extra accommodations in their chair features.

Lumbar Support

It’s best if you have a chair with adequate lumbar support. The back's lumbar region is your spine's lower portion and groove. You can get chairs with adjustable lumbar support that allow you to change the track in the chair to match the height of your spine, which is particularly beneficial for shorter or taller individuals.

Design

If you want an office chair to impress your clients or match the existing design features of your office, you needn't worry. You can get a black leather office chair or opt for softer and lighter colors, like cream, beige, or dark brown.

Recline

If you work long hours at your desk, a recline feature can be particularly beneficial, as it offers you time to rest and recuperate your spine while reducing pressure in your pelvic region.

Tilt Mechanism

The tilt tension knob on a premium leather office chair can also help you to alleviate pressure on your sit bones and provide some relief while you review your work and take a moment to relax. Or, you can use it to support a forward-leaning posture as you focus.

Rolling Wheels

If your desk space is broad, having an executive leather office chair with a heavy-duty nylon wheelbase and durable caster wheels might be helpful. This way, you can maneuver around your office and desk without constantly leaving your seat.

Maintenance

You need to pay attention to the maintenance required on your chair and read the chair instruction manual carefully. If you have opted for a premium leather chair, you must take proper care of the leather with conditioning tools.

FAQs

Here are some questions that people often ask about executive leather office chairs.

What is the Best Leather Office Chair for Me?

The optimal leather office chair for you will have the most ergonomic design to suit your posture and body type. You will also need to choose a desk chair with a design that blends with your existing office decor.

How Should I Sit in an Office Chair?

If you purchase an office chair with an ergonomic design, this doesn't mean that you will automatically be comfortable. Sitting upright with your arms resting on your table and armrests to use your keyboard is the best option. Sitting upright will help reduce hunching, which leads to back pain.

When Sitting, Should My Knees be Higher Than My Hips?

When sitting, your knees should rest level with your hips for optimal posture and comfort throughout the day.

Should I Get a Leather Office Chair?

Leather is the right choice if you want a long-lasting, durable, and comfortable office chair. However, if you want a breathable chair, you must opt for breathable PU leather or choose a mesh office chair instead.

Are Leather Desk Chairs Worth it?

Yes. Treat your leather desk chair right; it will last for a very long time and you'll get a return on your investment.
