# Best office chairs with an adjustable headrest Source: https://chairandposture.co.uk/best/best-office-chairs-with-headrest Publisher: Chair and Posture. Picks are based on what the Amazon listings state, not on hands-on testing. Method: https://chairandposture.co.uk/how-we-pick A headrest only helps if it meets your head where it actually is. A fixed pad that sits too high or too low pushes your head forward, which is worse than no headrest at all. The useful ones move up and down and tilt, and the better ones also slide forward or rotate on two axes so you can rest your head when you lean back to read or take a call. This guide only includes chairs whose listing says the headrest adjusts, and then sorts them by how well the rest of the chair adjusts: lumbar support, armrests, seat depth and load rating. A great headrest on a chair with a fixed seat and basic arms is still a compromise. All details come from the product listings, and anything a listing leaves out is marked as not stated. ## Products ### 1. HINOMI H2 Pro Premium Ergonomic Office Chair - Comfy Home Office Desk Computer Chair with Adjustable Back Support, Swivel Wheels, Flip-up Arms, Ultra Soft Mesh Seat for Desk Work Seat depth: Not stated; Lumbar: Adaptive, depth and tilt; Armrests: Multi-directional, flip-up; Tilt: 143° recline, rocking; Max load: 150 kg A premium mesh chair with 19 adjustment settings, adaptive lumbar with depth and tilt control, flip-up arms and a 143° recline. It suits people who want lots of fine tuning plus a deep lean-back position. In its favour: - Hinomi lists 19 separate adjustment settings, more than any other chair in this guide, to suit different body types. - The headrest adjusts in height, depth and angle, and the armrests flip up so the chair can tuck under a desk. - The listing states spare parts are available for 12 years in the EU, which supports long-term ownership. Good to know: - The listing does not say how far the seat slides, so check the seat depth range if you have long or short thighs. - The retractable footrest is described as optional, so it may not be included in this listing. ### 2.

It suits users from about 163 to 195 cm tall, according to ProtoArc. In its favour: - Raising the whole backrest by 6 cm moves the lumbar area and headrest together, which helps line the back up with your spine. - The seat slides through 5 lockable positions over 5 cm, and the maker quotes a fit range of 163 to 195 cm in height. - ProtoArc states the chair meets BS EN 1335 and uses a TUV Rheinland certified class 4 gas lift.
