If you didn't know the meaning of the word ergonomic before 2020, you most likely know by now. After spending a year plus stuck at home crunched over laptops, office workers are more aware than ever of the importance of good alignment and a pain-free seat. Investing in new work from home essentials often meant seeking out desks, keyboards, and chairs that could keep us comfy. Ergonomic support goes beyond just the aches and pains of 9-to-5, however. Good alignment while sitting and standing can help you feel more energized, breathe deeper, and even prevent injury over time. It's a worthwhile investment in your productivity and overall well-being. With many of us now returning to work (or permanently settling into our WFH setups), we thought we'd share the highest-praised, most comfortable ergonomic chairs from across the web.
We're not surprised that Wayfair and Amazon made a worthy mark on this list, but some one-hit-wonders from unexpected retailers also secured a spot in our ranks. Below, scroll through as we divulge which ergonomic office chairs are currently going viral, racking up thousands of rave reviews, and are 100% worth buying for 2021 and beyond.

Best Ergonomic Office Chair With Headrest
Flexispot Ergonomic Office Chair
This neck-pain erasing office chair has impressive lumbar support, lounge tilt, and adjustable armrests. In simple terms, you can sit up to type or kick back and relax a little bit during those long Zoom meetings. You'll feel a-ok when you stand back up — no aches included.

Best Unique Ergonomic Office Chair
Fully Capisco Chair by HAG
As you probably already know, ergonomic office chairs tend to take on a similar look — black mesh, curvy backs, armrests, and so on. However, Fully sells unique designs like this Capisco chair that bring you comfort in all kinds of new eye-catching styles. And it's not just about eye-catching looks. The puzzle piece shape is designed for backwards or sideways seating, and the saddle seat helps keep your hips open. Bonus: it comes in a whopping 12 colorways.
According to one 5' 3" reviewer, Branch's Daily Chair was, "...exactly what I needed during my shift to remote work," mid-pandemic. The chair's official on-site description says it works well for people up to 5' 11" as well, in case you're infatuated with its sleek design.
You can score a regular task chair for as low as $30, but if you want an ergonomic chair that's actually going to keep your back in check, we suggest not going under a $100 price tag (unless it's on super sale). Inbox Zero's Polyurethane chair is perfect for budget-savvy shoppers in need of lumbar support for less. Some highlights include, but are not limited to, sleek design, flip-up arms, optional rocking mechanisms, and added lumbar support.

Ebern Designs Ashendon Ergonomic Mesh Task Chair
Unfortunately, not all chairs were made completely accessible. This chair from Wayfair, however, can accommodate up to 330 pounds and has a W-designed seat cushion for ideal comfy butt conditions — regardless of size.
Amazon is home to, no surprise, an impressive selection of ergonomic office chairs. But what's the true creme de la creme? Flash Furniture's under-$150 seat with over 10,000 ratings and 4.3 out 5 stars. It's highly customizable with adjustable armrests and support and, and according to one happy customer, "The comfort does the job."

Best Luxury Ergonomic Task Chair
all33 BackStrong C1 — Vegan Leather
According to the all33 team, this chair was not only created by a chiropractor, it's also Justin Bieber approved. Its innovative, cradle-like bucket seat automatically conforms to your body weight and relieves lower pressure while the high back provides necessary lumbar support. In this case, a high price tag equals a high reward.
One of the top breakout searches under "ergonomic office chairs" on Google Trends is Gabrylly's most-wanted seat. Head over to Amazon, Walmart, and more retailers to get a taste of true, bestselling comfort.
When you say “Caraway,” we say “cookware” — that is, until today. The equal parts sustainable, stunning, and beloved kitchenware brand is expanding its conveniently bundled pots and pans to include non-toxic, ceramic-coated bakeware just in time for the holidays. The new debut (slated to ship in late October) comes in the form of two sets: a grand 11-piece set (priced at $395 or $35.90 per piece) including a storage rack, cooling rack, large and medium baking sheets, a rectangle and square pan, two circle pans, a loaf pan, muffin tin, and two storage units; or a more small-space-friendly 5-piece half set (priced at $245 or $49 per piece) including the two baking sheets, rectangle baking pan, muffin pan, and streamlining storage unit. Both expectedly sleek bakeware bundles are available in Caraway’s iconic colorways (Perracotta, Cream, Sage, and Navy) in addition to a new bakeware-exclusive hue: Slate. And, of course, it wouldn’t be a Caraway classic set without the brand’s signature storage organizer thrown into its lineup.
To find out how the very aesthetically pleasing and expertly curated bakeware stacks up inside a real kitchen, read on for a first-person review from our Shopping team’s deputy director — aka a beginner baker whose oven collection previously consisted of one very old sheet pan.
Caraway’s bakeware bundle makes me feel like a Gen-Z Martha Stewart.
As aforementioned, the Complete Bakeware Set includes all 11 non-toxic, non-stick pieces for $395, while the standard Bakeware Set only includes: Storage, two Baking Sheets, and a 12-cup Muffin Pan for $245. Caraway’s kitchen products land at a higher price point for their luxe features — this specific set is oven safe up to 550 degrees Fahrenheit, free of FPAs, non-stick, and has an aluminized steel body with ceramic coating and stainless steel handles.
Caraway Bakeware Review
“While I fancy myself a true cooking enthusiast, I am a very far cry from a baker. (I live and die by the old kitchen adage that cooking is an art and baking is a science.) Because of this, the amply stocked kitchen in my home has been embarrassingly lacking in the bakeware department. Before Caraway graciously offered to send me its fully stocked & loaded 11-piece set, I kid you not when I say there was nary a muffin tin or cake pan to be seen — I relied on one trusty sheet pan for the occasional Tollhouse cookie batch but otherwise avoided baking endeavors altogether. In layman’s terms: I’m a big baking beginner.”
It’s a unique set that says: I like to have a good time and bake banana bread but you better believe I run a tight ship.
Elizabeth Buxton, R29 Deputy Editor
“Drawn in by its chic colorways (I opted for the Perracotta pictured above) and storage-savvy design, I was hopeful owning such a strongly curated collection would inspire me to find my inner baker. When my set arrived, I was surprised at how sustainable the packaging was; no plastic and not one unnecessary box inside a box or miscellaneous insert. Unboxing (although it was a large shipment) was a breeze and I was delighted to discover the added bonus of two little cute cork trivets tucked inside. The bakeware came pre-organized inside its two storage bins, so I was able to easily pull both of them out and transfer them to the empty cabinet space that had been collecting dust inside my kitchen. Each piece felt light but not to the point of being flimsy and I was impressed at just how pretty the pink-terracotta looked in person.”
“While I did not include any real-baking photos as part of this review (full disclosure: my attempts at a cake and sourdough loaf were futile), Caraway’s new bakeware is less about the actual oven experience for me — although I can attest that each piece is, in fact, as legendarily non-stick and durable as its cult-favorite cookware (no weird buckling of the pans was experienced when baking under higher temps). The real draw, which I have pictured above, is how insanely satisfying the brand’s storage capabilities are. Owning such a stacked lineup of bakeware essentials that look this stylish and streamlined inside my (often chaotic) kitchen makes me feel like a Gen-Z Martha Stewart. It’s a unique set that says: I like to have a good time and bake banana bread but you better believe I run a tight ship.”
Both sets are perfect for beginners (like me) who may not know where the heck to start with buying good-looking bakeware that doesn’t skimp on quality.
ELIZABETH BUXTON, R29 DEPUTY EDITOR
“Although I cannot confidently say this beautiful new bakeware collection will awaken the muffin-maker inside of me, it will certainly get a LOT of use over the holidays when we host Thanksgiving and the real pastry chefs of my family put them to proper use. I also plan to use the roasting rack, pan, and baking sheets for more savory oven feats (roasted meat, veggies, etc.). All in all, I think both sets are perfect for beginners (like me) who may not know where the heck to start with buying good-looking bakeware that doesn’t skimp on quality.” – Elizabeth Buxton, R29 Deputy Director
Head over to Caraway’s site to lock in an order of this stylish bakeware set before the holidays hit.

Like what you see? How about some more R29 goodness, right here?
Picture it: it’s a rare Friday night in and my glass of cabernet is decanting wonderfully on the kitchen counter. I crack open my snack cabinet, but instead of reaching for my stand-by Cheez-Its, my hand makes a beeline toward a decidedly more grown-up and sophisticated bite: a box of veganSourdough Sea Salt Moonshot crackers. Founder Julia Collins is changing the healthy snacking game with her sustainable, Black woman-owned food brand one flavorful crunch at a time — and if you haven’t given it a taste test, it’s about time you do.
In one 100% recycled cardboard package, you’ll find about 45 organic crackers made from regeneratively grown ingredients ready to upgrade your snacking game. Lucky for me, I got the chance to try out all three flavors — Sourdough Sea Salt, Tomato Basil, and Rosemary Garlic — and see what a “climate-friendly cracker” actually tastes like. Below, read on to hear what makes these crackers taste better than my standby Cheez-its — and why Collins chose to fight climate change via delicious simple snacks.
These crackers have the perfect amount of flavor, where it’s not overpowering but still enough to make those taste buds dance.
These snacks officially launched under Moonshot’s parent company, Planet FWD, in December 2020. Since then, the brand has racked up 116 customer reviews and a near-perfect, 4.9 out of 5 stars, rating on its site. You can find some boxes sprinkled in grocery stores across the nation, or you can order online and even save a few bucks by securing a monthly subscription.
While the brand’s vibrant flavors are enough of a sell, the commitment to sustainability is also part of the appeal. “The ultimate goal at Moonshot is to build a climate-friendly food movement,” founder Julia Collins tells Refinery29. To throw some fancy stats out there, these crackers are plant-based, Non-GMO, carbon-neutral, made from regeneratively-grown heirloom wheat sourced from local farmers, and contain zero added sugar or preservatives. In other words, these snacks are as good for you as they are for the planet.
The Sourdough Sea Salt genuinely tastes like Cheez-its to me, or any other cheese-infused cracker — except, there’s not an ounce of dairy. (My skin jumps for joy). They’re small and have a crisp crunch when you first bite down, but then slowly melt away as you chew rather than congeal against your teeth. The flavors are fresh. Tomato Basil, my second favorite, does not have a cheesy vibe at all but instead a lovely combo of spices. And the Rosemary Garlic tastes immaculate and herby with a slice of cheese.
It’s hard to wax poetic over these crackers because they taste exactly like their ingredients. As an avid snack indulger, I notice the only time a carb treat doesn’t taste like its description is when it’s doused in artificial flavors. The one mystery behind these otherwise transparent snacks is how they extracted so much flavor out of a few simple ingredients.
Rarely do you eat a snack and taste the real ingredients. With Moonshots snacks, you taste the actual rosemary, garlic, basil and other spices. It is tasty, healthy and unprocessed.
Evita g., moonshot snacks reviewer
Who is the Moonshot founder?
The minute Julia Collins discovered she was pregnant, she thought about the future world her son would be living in. Rather than wallow in despair at our planet’s current climate crisis, she began her quest to produce climate-friendly snacks and create a platform, Planet FWD, to help other food brands adopt a more eco-conscious approach.
“Snacking accounts for 50% of all eating occasions and 94% of people say they snack at least once a day,” says Collins. “That’s a lot of snacking and people who snack deserve to eat food that is tasty, good for their bodies, and for good for the planet.”
On top of running a business, Collins recognizes the lack of Black representation in the modern environmentalism movement and wants to become an even bigger voice with her platforms.
“Black voices are often left out of the current narrative around climate change,” she says. “The worst of what is happening in the context of our rapidly warming planet disproportionately affects Black and Brown people. There is no social justice without climate justice. It’s vitally important that we make climate activism radically inclusive.”
Climate-friendly snacks are the future and Moonshot is leading the charge in such a yummy way.

In a world where “convenient” sometimes means “cheap,” a washable rug might sound up there with a screw-top wine bottle or instant ramen. After all, who would dare disrespect a decadent Persian carpet by throwing it in a washing machine? Of course, that’s just one place you might not want to put a fancy wool rug. There’s also the kitchen, bathroom, entryway, kids’ rooms… or anywhere that a very loved (but very destructive) pet might wander. The options might seem like a dirty rug, bare floor, or lots of time spent spot-cleaning on your hands and knees, but there’s another way. Meet washable rugs, one of the best things to happen to home decor in a long time.
Most washable rugs are crafted from synthetic materials (nylon, polyester, etc.). But if the synthetic construction gives you pause, never fear. These rugs come in a range of designs and styles that look and feel high quality. Light enough to crush up and fit in a washing machine, they’re ideal for living spaces bustling with rambunctious children, messy pets, and tons of foot traffic. And you don’t need a massive laundry unit to enjoy the convenience: washable rug retailer pioneer Ruggable offers a wide selection of rugs that are designed to fit into the tiniest machines. And while Ruggable may have put washable rugs on the map, these days lots of retailers are getting in on the trend. Ahead, we corralled the best places to shop washable rugs. Based on the selection at Walmart, Etsy, Revival, Wayfair, and more, it’s clear: washable rugs are here to stay.
Ruggable changed the washable rug game with its handy two-piece rug system. While many carpet pieces on the market are washable in theory, Ruggable’s products were made to be easily cleaned again and again. Each comes with two pieces: a bottom rug pad and a 1/8″ decorative top cover that can be scrunched up and thrown into the washer with no problem. The covers are also stain- and water-resistant and interchangeable if you ever get the urge to redecorate.
Revival first made its name for stunning one-of-a-kind luxury handmade rugs. Now, after the brand launched its first-ever washable rug line, we also cruise by to shop some luxe-yet-convenient pieces. This 100% cotton mat is best washed on delicate with one tablespoon of your favorite gentle laundry detergent — once it’s done, just hang it out to dry.
Etsy offers a wide selection of funky and crafty rugs that rejuvenate your living space. With a little extra searching, you can also find washable options as well. Just double-check the individual listings for care directions before hitting “buy.” Flat-weave rugs with low pile or synthetic materials are your best best — wool rugs, even those advertised as “washable,” may get matted after a spin through the wash.
For new parents looking for safe and chic home decor, The Tot has your back. On top of its massive inventory of kids’ clothes, toys, baby gear, and more, the retailer is a hot spot for machine washable rugs. This dreamy cloud mat by Lorena Canals can handle all kinds of spills and plenty of gentle cycles.
We know, Walmart has everything, including an impressive collection of expensive-looking, laundry-room-ready rugs. Flip through for runners, circle rugs, classic Persian pieces, and more easy-care floor decor.
Just this week, Lowe’s launched a major washable rug collab with designer Allen Roth. According to Lowes’ team, these Lifestyle Performance rugs have, “the stain resistance of an outdoor rug and the style/comfort of an indoor rug.” The massive collection (over 300 pieces!) includes a wide range of sizes, including runners, area rugs, and accent rugs.
Just as the jingle says, “Wayfair’s got just what [we] need,” and that includes affordable, convenient, and stylish washable rugs. We’ve got our eyes on the R29-reader favorite brand, Bungalow Rose, and its colorful collection of vibrant area rugs.
Deep in the Amazon jungle lies an oasis of chic washable rugs. The brand nuLOOM carries a gorgeous selection of washables that complement your living space and your busy lifestyle (no trips to the dry cleaners here).

R29Unbothered’s High Impact is rewriting the rules of wellness, wealth, and weed for Black women with real and dynamic conversations that put US at the center.
Weed and the Black community have a fraught history. What was once throwing us in jail (and is STILL keeping us there) is now fueling a freshly legalized (in certain States) and white-dominated industry. With that in mind, there's no better way to celebrate 4/20 than to uplift Black people in the cannabis industry.
Even if you don't subscribe to the puff-puff-pass lifestyle, we found brands that offer hemp face masks, rejuvenating skincare, and more products that utilize the other wonders of cannabis. But, we also added in some edibles and pre-rolls that you can purchase online with no problem. Hey, it's 4/20 and a holiday is a holiday. From CBD softgels to Wake and Bake body scrubs, check out our prized shopping list of Black-owned cannabusinesses ahead.

When I first got word that satin pillowcases were trending towards viral Amazon stardom, I scrunched my eyebrows in confusion. Silk’s less credible (but more affordable) polyester cousin from around the block, satin, has been a staple in Black haircare for decades. Although, instead of pillowcases, it’s more common for us to lay our edges with satin durags, swaddle our locks in vibrant flowy satin scarves, or protect our braids with oversized satin bonnets at night. To keep it concise: in my world, this pliable fabric is as mundane and essential as a good pair of socks. But, recently, the R29 Shopping team has been on the hunt for all of Amazon’s next top super products (an old-school dickey turned modern TikTok sensation, an oddly necessary adult baby blanket, etc.) and just scouted out a rave-reviewed satin scarf that immediately piqued my interest. After the very popular hair accessory with over 8,000 reviews on Amazon was unearthed, I suddenly realized that I’d actually been wrapping my hair up at night, running to the grocery store, and attending daily zoom calls over the past three years while wearing it. So, now, I’m here to tell you everything there is to know about it — including why I will never throw it away.
It’s amazing. I’m using it as a head scarf at night because I have naturally curly hair. It keeps my curls defined and beautiful and my wash and go lasts for 5-7 days when I wrap my hair with this scarf. ALL MY NATURAL BABES WILL LOVE THIS!
Amazon reviewer
This 35″ x 35″ polyester scarf’s best selling point is its price. If silk was up for grabs for $8 a pop then we’d opt for those unmistakably soft & natural fibers in a heartbeat — but, alas, we’ll settle for a wondrous Hermés knock-off instead. I perused through the thousands of five-star ratings to see how other people were putting this scarf to use and was not disappointed. One reviewer uses it to embellish her purse, saying “I actually get compliments on this all the time. I just bought it as a cheap little way to accent my black purse and people are shocked when I say it’s just a $7 scarf off Amazon.” Another happy shopper reworked it into a swanky blouse; “I purchased it to fashion into a top for various occasions. The scarf is of higher quality than I anticipated.” Although my specific pink & purple colorway (pictured above) is no longer available, the YOUR SMILE shop currently offers 43 other vibrant styles (geographic maps, colorful paisleys, regal chains, khaki flowers, etc.). You can wear it like a bandana, tie it around your neck for the French Ascott vibe, fold it into a headband, or just go to bed wearing it as a bonnet.
I purchased this scarf as a gift and now I want some for myself. The feel/texture is amazing. The colors are so true and brilliant. I love the large size AND it comes with a card that show various ways to tie scarves!
Amazon reviewer
My scarf and I have been together for three years, mostly because I keep waiting for it to perish. I walked in late to class with it styled atop my head back in 2018 and now it follows me to work (at home) in 2021. I throw it in the washer way too often because I don’t want airborne germs from outside to intermingle with my pillows or amplify my paranoia at night. Then I pop it in the dryer on high heat, and she comes out in perfect condition every time like a phoenix rising from the ashes. It’s incredible. (WARNING: This product is apparently NOT machine washable. Do not follow my example.) At this point, I should lay her to rest and cash in on one of these more runway-ready patterns because, again, it’s only a $9 investment. But, after taking this trip down memory lane with my beloved polyester piece of fabric, I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m too emotionally invested. The sensible thing to do in this situation is to buy another one for wearing outside so I can keep my OG head wrap by my side all night long. Dear $9 Amazon satin scarf, I will continue to ruthlessly toss you into the laundry but I will never toss you out.
I originally bought this scarf for a Halloween costume, after receiving it in the mail the quality is great and the pattern is super cute. I will for sure be wearing this more often!
