Office chair with 'fantastic back support' perfect for home working
With working from home on the rise, it is important that workers have a sturdy, supportive chair on standby to aid them on a daily basis. Finding a chair that is comfortable and offers decent support can often take more time than needed.
Shoppers may now be in luck however as they can grab a range of deals from Ryman as it has several Pago International chairs on offer. After launching in the UK in 2024, the Pago range which was founded in Australia has grown to 10 chairs rolling into Ryman stores across the country.
In the range, shoppers can grab several chairs including the Pago Vega Office Chair in Black for £79.99 which is said to combine style and function to form a useful addition to any home or office. Vega boasts several adjustments, a high quality seat and comes in professional styling designed to fit in with and enhance any space.
Jay, of Pago, said: "We're thrilled to be bringing Pago's commitment to exceptional value, comfort and ergonomic support to the UK market through our partnership with Ryman. Both our companies share core values of quality, customer satisfaction, and delivering products that genuinely improve people's daily lives."
Features of the chair include a high-quality swivel tilt mechanism with tension control, a moulded foam seat with waterfall front edge, a breathable air-flow mesh back and fixed armrests to support posture - everything one could want in a chair.
For specific heights and ranges, there is also the Pago Matrix Mesh High Back Ergonomic Office Chair for £129.99 which has a heavy duty build - suitable for eight plus hours of sitting, a three lever ratchet back mechanism, a thick moulded foam seat and a features a high back profile. There is also the Pago Matrix Mesh Medium Back Ergonomic Chair for £109.99 which has a mesh medium back, offers supreme support and a three lever mechanism.
If this isn't the chair for everyone, there are a number of alternatives for shoppers, including the Barker High Back Fabric Operator Chair with Adjustable Arms, priced at £105 from Furniture Work. It comes in the shade grey, has an ergonomic high back operator chair, a contoured backrest and a large posture-curved seat. It also features a gas height adjustment, back rake and is available with or without fixed arms. Another option is the Argos Home Read Mesh Office Chair for £50 from Argos, which comes in the shade Black, has a metal frame with mesh seatpad, backrest, a swivel feature and weighs a light 6.7kg.
However, shoppers have rated the Pago chairs highly on their website. One shopper said, "Great chair. I have only had it a couple of weeks, and it is great. Back support, especially lower, is fantastic."
Another said: "Comfortable. Easy to assemble. Easy glide on carpet."
"I bought the chair a few weeks ago and have found the hair very comfortable and it meets my needs working at my desk and on my computer," said another.
Some other shoppers did leave some suggestions however as one person said: "One improvement if I may suggest is the back of the chair, if using it on the tallest extension for us who are on the taller side, does tend to pop and slot back down."
The Pago range is available from Ryman.

Dragons' Den icon Theo Paphitis warns 'high streets will not survive if shops are hit in next Budget'
Dragons' Den icon Theo Paphitis has warned of mass closures if shops are hit even harder at the next Budget. The businessman, who owns the stationary chain Ryman, issued a stark warning that the UK high street may not survive further tax hikes. Companies are already being hit with hefty business rates - with speculation growing Chancellor Rachel Reeves may pile on the pain in the autumn. Mr Paphitis highlighted the immense burden smaller businesses are carrying compared to online giants who are paying 'next to nothing'. Firms have also been battered by hikes in National Insurance contributions and an inflation-busting increase in the minimum wage which came into effect in April. Writing in The Sun, Mr Paphitis said: 'After everything the high street has been through, asking it to carry even more weight would be the final straw for many. 'The government must ensure that no shop pays more in the upcoming Autumn Budget.' He added: 'Once a shop shuts, it is far harder and costlier to bring it back, meaning each closure represents a long-term wound to the health of the high street.' Mr Paphitis has previously criticised the business rates system, which he says the government has failed to properly reform. He argued that it unfairly hits bricks and mortar businesses, while online and technology giants only face the tax on their warehouses. Mr Paphitis's comments come as store closures this year are predicted to top 17,000 this year. It is the highest figure since the Centre for Retail Research (CRR), which compiled the report, began collecting the data in 2015 and follows the closure of 13,479 stores last year. The vast majority of closed shops in 2024 – 11,341 – were independent retailers, a 45.5 per cent jump against the previous year. Business leaders have called for the Chancellor to 'urgently' change course with her tax-raising policies to prevent British high streets from becoming ghost towns. The CRR's forecast of 17,350 store closures would make 2025 worse than 2022, when the withdrawal of government support measures following the pandemic caused 17,151 shops to close. Around 16,145 stores shut their doors at the height of lockdown in 2020. Professor Joshua Bamfield, director of the CRR previously said: 'Whilst the results for 2024 show that although the outcomes for store closures overall were not as poor as in either 2020 or 2022, they are still disconcerting, with worse to come in 2025.' Of the predicted 2025 figure, the vast majority of store closures, 14,660, are expected to be independent retailers. These firms usually operate on very tight profit margins and may not have enough cash to cover the cost of the Treasury's tax raid and minimum wage hikes. 'This is a tragic scenario that we warned the government could come to pass if they did not change course,' said Andrew Goodacre, head of the British Independent Retailers Association. He added: 'Overall costs for independent retailers are going up and the planned increases in National Insurance, minimum wage and business rates will leave many with no choice but to shut up shop.' Ms Reeves declared in October that employers would pay a 15 per cent National Insurance rate on staff salaries exceeding £5,000 from April rather than the current 13.8 per cent levy on wages above £9,100. She also said the National Living Wage would go up by 77p to £12.21 per hour, alongside increases in the capital gains tax rates on selling business assets. Retailers have been among those leading the charge against the Chancellor's punishing tax measures. In November, more than 80 bosses signed an open letter to Reeves warning that her Budget plans would force them to hike prices, cut jobs and close stores. Signatories included the heads of high street giants Marks & Spencer, Next and John Lewis as well as the major supermarkets such as Tesco, Sainsbury's, Morrisons and Asda. Meanwhile, firms have called for ministers to reform the business rates system to make physical shops more competitive with their online counterparts.

Dragons' Den star Theo Paphitis warns of mass closures if shops are squeezed even more at Budget
DRAGONS' Den TV star Theo Paphitis has warned of mass closures if shops are squeezed even more at the Budget. The retail magnate said the high street would not survive further tax hikes after already being hit by hefty business rates. After backing Labour, he now highlights the 'immense burden' compared to online giants paying 'next to nothing'. Over 17,000 shops are tipped to shut this year. And speculation has grown Chancellor Rachel Reeves will pile on the pain. Writing in The Sun, Mr Paphitis says: 'After everything the high street has been through, asking it to carry even more weight would be the final straw for many. 'The government must ensure that no shop pays more in the upcoming Autumn Budget.' The Ryman boss took aim at a business rates system 'for a different age' where retail pays 20 per cent of all the receipts. Warning of a High Street hammer blow, he said: 'The loss is not just economic - it chips away at the social fabric, reducing spaces where people meet, work and spend time. 'Once a shop shuts, it is far harder and costlier to bring it back, meaning each closure represents a long-term wound to the health of the high street.' 1 High street chain with 185 stores launches 70% off closing down sales ahead of 25 shops shutting
