Compare the top 2 picks in Australia 2026

For most Australian work from home buyers the chair is the decision that matters. The SIHOO M57 Ergonomic Office Chair is the chair this guide covers in most detail, but its card notes that its Amazon AU listing could not be bought, so check its stock before you plan around it. It is the most reviewed midtier 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.

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. 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.
