Compare the top 2 picks in Australia 2026

For most Australian work-from-home buyers the chair is the decision that matters, and the SIHOO M57 Ergonomic Office Chair is the one to start with. It is the most-reviewed mid-tier ergonomic chair on Amazon AU, with adjustable lumbar support, 3D armrests and a high breathable mesh back, the three adjustments that actually change how a working day feels. Price moves with colourway, roughly $330 to $410, which puts it at the top of the mainstream chair band rather than in premium territory.

The BenQ GW2486TC 24in USB-C Monitor is the screen to pair with it. A single USB-C cable carries video and delivers 65W back to the laptop, which removes the dock most home-office desks otherwise need, and the 99% sRGB IPS panel with TUV-certified eye-care is a real upgrade over a laptop display across an eight-hour day. Twenty-four inches is the right size for documents and spreadsheets; step up to 27in and 4K only if you work in design or routinely run three windows side by side.

The ErgoTune Joobie is the upgrade, and it is a large step: 5D GyroBrace armrests, a 3D adjustable headrest and hybrid mesh from a Singapore-designed brand that has sold in Australia since 2021, at close to $1,000 on Amazon AU. Buy it only if working from home is permanent, four or five days a week, indefinitely, rather than two days a week.

One honest limitation: none of these three is a desk. The chair and the screen are two of the three foundations; the desk surface is the third, and our best standing desk guide covers that separately.
