Be comfy and green in your home or office with these chairs.

By MindBodyGreen

When it comes to chair design, eco-friendly chairs are definitely at the forefront of cool.  Here are three ergonomic chair options that are green, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing for all types of work environments:

1. Aeron Chair by Herman Miller

Call it a classic, the Aeron chair, has been around for nearly 20 years. It's one of the most well-known chairs today and sits in the Museum of Modern Art. Did I mention it's 94% recyclable? Prices range online from $849 - $999 depending on the model so you might want to consider buying used and saving an additional $300 - $500.

2. Think Chair by Steelcase

The Think Chair is up to 98% recyclable by weight and is made with up to 37% recycled content. Throw in lumbar support, a great modern look, prices starting at $729, and I'm sold. Literally, I'm sold -- this is the chair I own.

3. Leap Chair by Steelcase

The Leap Chair is Steelcase's #1 selling ergonomic chair. It's 98% recyclable and starts at $849. If you prefer a chair with fabric then this will do the trick.
