Ignition 2.0

Score: 8.1/10 | The HON Ignition 2.0 is the best value office chair on the market, delivering genuine ergonomic features at a price point that makes sense for home offices and budget-conscious buyers.

Rated to 300 lbs and meets standard BIFMA requirements. HON is a respected commercial furniture brand with solid quality control.

6-point adjustability: seat height, seat depth, back height, back angle, armrest height, and lumbar support. Most chairs under $500 give maybe 3 adjustment points. Adjustable lumbar is plastic rather than padded. Mesh back provides breathability.

At $399 (Amazon pricing), roughly 25% the cost of an Aeron. HON Limited Lifetime Warranty provides excellent coverage. Forbes Vetted and NY Times Wirecutter both named it Best Office Chair.

The HON Ignition 2.0 proves you don't need $1,500 for decent ergonomics. For home offices and 4-6 hour daily use, it's genuinely good enough.
