Details

Zody is built to support the way you work — whether you're fully seated or in a perched position at a height-adjustable desk. At the core of its ergonomic innovation is a 3-point synchronous tilt system that aligns with the body's natural pivot points — hip, knee, and ankle — to deliver a smooth, effortless recline. This means minimal effort to lean back, consistent lumbar support, and a perfectly balanced feel, no matter your shape or size.

Optional lumbar adjustment lets you fine-tune lower-back support to your exact comfort level, helping you maintain healthy posture through long hours of sitting. Torsional flex allows the backrest to respond dynamically to shifts in position, reducing pressure points and increasing mobility.

Zody isn’t just good for you — it’s good for the planet, too. With GREENGUARD Gold® certification, it’s been independently tested and proven to be free from over 10,000 chemicals, helping support cleaner air where you work.

Try it at home for 30 days. If you decide to return it, the shipping’s on us.

Engineered for your body. Designed for the planet.

Two Postures, One Chair

Zody was one of the first chairs to introduce dual posture support — designed for both seated and perched positions. That means full ergonomic comfort whether you’re sitting down or working at a raised desk in that in-between, half-sit/half-stand stance

Trailblazing Sustainability

Zody doesn’t just meet sustainability standards — it helps set them. It’s the first chair to earn Cradle to Cradle Certified® Bronze under the newest qualifications and also meets the highest environmental criteria from BIFMA, the Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturers Association.

GREENGUARD Gold® Certified

Zody is certified to meet the most rigorous standard for low chemical emissions — tested to be free of over 10,000 VOCs (volatile organic compounds) that can affect indoor air quality. The result? A chair that helps create a cleaner, healthier workspace.

Environmental Integrity

Zody is made with more than 90% recyclable materials — and it’s designed for easy disassembly, making end-of-life recycling simple. We never use PVC, heavy metals, or flame retardants in our chairs, so you can feel good about what you’re sitting on

Sustainable Comfort

Opt for Zody in Hobson fabric and help reduce ocean waste. Made from 80% ocean-bound plastic and recycled polyester, this exclusive textile is soft, durable, and modern. Each yard diverts 33 plastic bottles from entering the ocean — proof that comfort can do good.

This chair is everything I wanted.

It has everything I want in an office chair. It’s built like a tank, it has lots of adjustability, comfortable, and looks very nice. It’s perfect with my stand-up desk. As expected, the seat cushion is firm but it’s softening up. I know from experience a super-soft seat cushion will compress flat over a short time.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our Zody Upholstered Office Chair. We are so happy to hear that it has exceeded your expectations and has everything you need in an office chair. We take pride in its durability, adjustability, and sleek design. We're glad it pairs well with your stand-up desk. As for the seat cushion, it may take some time to soften up, but we assure you it will still provide the necessary support. Thank you for choosing our Zody!

Feels AND looks incredible.

Prior to getting the Zody chair, I was sitting in the world's worst office chair. In fact, I'm pretty sure it was a dining room table chair.

Over the years, I have developed upper back and neck issues partially due to poor alignment and posture along with being a new mom. Double whammy.

Thankfully, I am now sitting in a chair that is the polar opposite of what I used to sit in. Zody for the win!

I love many things about this chair, but I think what I obsess over most, is the lower lumbar support that I so lacked in my previous chair. The Zody literally lifts me from my lower spine and encourages me to sit up tall with my core engaged. It is a total game-changer.

The armrests aid in the sophistication of this chair as well. Another detail my former chair lacked - armrests. What a difference they make! They specifically keep my upper body more engaged when on Zoom calls and while podcasting.

The swivel and wheels are a lovely addition. I can easily turn and reach for things which also supports my overall physical well-being. It's the little things.

Aesthetically, I worship this chair. It's a looker and works beautifully with my Haworth Upside Sit-to-Stand Desk. It finally looks like I have a grown-up office and not a college dorm one anymore. I'm 41 btw, lol.

I highly recommend the Zody chair. It's an all-around supportive and stunning piece of office furniture.

Supportive and stylish

I can't rave about this chair enough. It's comfortable and stylish, and my favorite part of working from home!

pretty + function

I have always sacrificed comfort for a more simple / less "office-y" look for our photo studio space, but my team uses a shared desk where some of us are at for hours a day.
When this chair came into our lives (and studio) it really made a difference and fulfilled the non-office look with a stylish chair that works with our aesthetic AND was way more comfortable than I thought a chair could be!
