From bargain racing seats to luxury leather thrones, these home office chairs show how far you can push your setup if budget isn’t a concern

The perfect home office setup centres around a few things. A practical desk, perhaps some personal ornaments, and the most comfortable chair you can afford.

With dream mode fully enabled, and an imaginary unlimited budget, I've been flicking through the vast array of posh chairs at Office Furniture Online, which is a great resource for everything from commercial furniture to education equipment.

Their range of chairs starts at around £30, but if I was to win the lottery, I'd go straight for the expensive stuff.

The most expensive office chair you can buy from Office Furniture Online is this weird and wonderful "saddle chair", in a huge range of colours and with a choice of three sizes.

Priced at an eye-watering £1,455.60, it's designed to mimic a horse rider's seating position, which is great for movement and circulation and probably brilliant for posture, too.

But it's not for me. As a petrolhead, I was drawn to this bargain race-car chair, which is absurdly cheap at £134.40 - but why would I pick a bargain chair if I'd won the lottery?

If I wanted to max out my budget in a hurry, I could pick this Humanscale Freedom Task Chair, because it costs a rather frightening £1,305.60 thanks to its clever ergonomics - but it just doesn't look luxurious enough for me, I'm afraid.
