Steelcase AU EOFY sale: snag 28% off top-rated office chairs with our exclusive site-wide coupon

June has officially arrived and we all know what that means — Australia's EOFY sales have started and there are plenty of great discounts to be had, including on office furniture. And if you're considering plonking for a new office chair this sale season, we've got an exclusive Steelcase coupon that'll save you an extra 3% off your purchase.

While all shoppers can save a flat 25% sitewide, TechRadar readers can nab an additional 3% off with the code FUTURE2026, for a total saving of 28% on any item you purchase from Steelcase during this EOFY sale. And given this will very likely be a work-related purchase, you should hold on to your receipt to claim it with your FY25/26 tax returns, thus maximising your savings.

When it comes to office furniture, Steelcase shouldn't need much of an introduction. It's a well established global brand that makes some of the best office chairs in Australia. While those chairs do generally come with a premium price tag, the quality is undeniable — so EOFY is a great opportunity to pick one up for less. But do note that this coupon cannot be stacked with any other offer. (Notably, that includes the additional 5% off if you spend a minimum of AU$3,000.)

This exclusive offer ends June 30 and, given I've tried a few of Steelcase's chairs myself — the Karman and the Gesture are still circulating in TechRadar's Sydney office, while another colleague refuses to part with the Steelcase Leap he uses at home — I've selected four of my favourites and listed them below.

If you're spending hours at your desk for work, this is a great opportunity to invest in a high-quality seat. Opting for a well-designed ergonomic chair doesn't just impact your body, it can also improve your productivity. So go on, treat yourself or a loved one with a good WFH setup.

Steelcase Series 2: was AU$1,129 now AU$812.88 at Steelcase US

The best office chair that we've tested that would suit most people, the Series 2 is a no-fuss seat offering supreme comfort to help you stay focused on the task at hand. Earning 4.5 stars in our Steelcase Series 2 review, we loved how customisable its support was, as well as the breathability of its mesh.

Steelcase Leap: was AU$1,679 now AU$1,208.88 at Steelcase US

As you can tell from our Steelcase Leap review, this chair clearly prioritises comfort and adjustability, and is our pick for anyone whose derrière prefers some thick cushioning rather than a mesh net. We found it tricky to recommend for most people at its original price point, as there are similar options available for less, but with this deal it should be at the top of the list if comfort and posture support is your #1 requirement. Do note that being fully cushioned, it won't breath as well as one of Steelcase's mesh options during Aussie summers.

Steelcase Gesture: was AU$1,989 now AU$1,432.08 at Steelcase US

We fell in love with this chair's armrests in our Steelcase Gesture review, which offer some of the best adjustability options that we've ever seen. Its sturdy build and several points of adjustment make it a great all-round option. However, while it has premium looks, its cushioned back doesn't offer as much breathability as mesh, and its lumbar support could arguably be stronger. If those aspects aren't important to you, it's a comfy chair with great executive looks. There's also the option to add a headrest for an additional AU$374.

Steelcase Karman: was AU$2,099 now AU$1,511.28 at Steelcase US

The Karman is unique in that its frame is pretty much a single piece. It also doesn't have too many manual adjustment points because it's designed to mould around the body in real time as you move or wriggle around in the seat. The mesh is high quality, making it very breathable and long-lasting, feeling more like cloth than plastic. The only real drawback we could find in our Steelcase Karman review was its price, which our exclusive FUTURE2026 code takes care of. The cheapest is the all-black model at just over the AU$2K mark, while the others are AU$2,399 RRP — and you can save on any of them with our coupon.

How to choose a good office chair

If you're completely out of your depth when it comes to shopping office chairs, we have a full guide explaining how to choose the best office chair.

However, if you just need a quick breakdown of what features and specs to keep an eye out for before committing to an EOFY deal, we've got you covered.

Design
There are two main options here – mid-back and high-back chairs. Mid-back models support the lower back up to the shoulders, and offer more freedom of movement, while high-back chairs offer complete spinal support including the neck and shoulders, with a greater restriction on movement.

The latter is often recommended for those sitting at a desk all day.

Material
Fabric or mesh are your two main options, and we often recommend mesh for Aussies, as it provides both firm support and breathability. Fabric, meanwhile, is good for soft, padded comfort – but it can potentially get a bit sweaty in warmer and more humid climates.

You'll also likely see some deals on office chairs that are faux leather (sometimes called PU leather or leatherette), but we generally favour fabric and mesh over it.

Lumbar support
Fixed lumbar support remains in a single, rigid position – basically a one-size-fits-most support that's great for those of average height. Adjustable lumbar support, as the name suggests, can be raised and lowered (or moved backward and forward) to better suit the shape of your back. This means it offers a suitable fit for a larger range of body types and shapes. Lastly, Dynamic lumbar support is the best pick, as it delivers continued support as you shift in your seat.

Ultra-cheap office chairs often have no lumbar support at all, and in our opinion are best avoided – which is why all Steelcase office chairs come with some type of lumbar support.

Armrests
Most office chair deals have 2D, 3D, or 4D armrests – this determines the number of directions the armrests can be angled (up, down, backward, forward, inward, outward).

Adjustments
Perhaps the most important feature to look for when aiming for a tailored fit alongside lumbar, a good office chair will also offer the ability to adjust the seat height and depth to ensure you're sitting correctly. Don't assume lockable recline and tilt are included – always check the specs. Also be sure to check that the headrest, if included, can be adjusted or angled for better neck support, too.

Below is a table to check what height your chair should reach depending on your height.
