The latest breaking updates, delivered straight to your email inbox.

If you're working from home, you want to make sure you have a comfortable setup, making it essential to find good ergonomic upgrades that fit your budget.

Consumer Reports has evaluated ergonomic office solutions that promise to improve home office comfort.

"I've tried at least six chairs in the last three years," said Rachel Kent, who works from home.

Until she finds the right one, Kent works from an old wooden chair in her home office.

"The wooden chair is not ideal, but it doesn't cause me lower back pain like the fancy chairs I tried to buy," she said.

To help folks like Kent find comfort while working from home, Consumer Reports' ergonomics experts recently evaluated budget office chairs.

"When looking for an ergonomic chair, the one thing I tell people to focus on is adjustability, because that's going to allow you to fit the chair to your body," said Paul Ritchey, Consumer Reports' ergonomics expert.

Consumer Reports said that with the Staples Dexley chair, you can adjust the height, armrests, lumbar and headrest.

If you're working on a laptop, a stand can raise the top of your screen to eye level, so you don't strain your neck looking down. The Insignia ergonomic laptop stand requires no assembly or tools to adjust the height.

While using a mouse, a wrist rest can keep your wrist in a neutral position to help reduce hand or wrist discomfort. Belkin makes a small and supportive wrist rest.

If your feet can't rest flat on the floor, try a footrest like one from Mount-It! to bring the floor to you.

"With a footrest, you're going to help support the feet and take some pressure off the underside of the thigh, which you'd find if your feet were just dangling," Ritchey said.

No matter how long it takes, upgrading your space to fit your needs is worth the work.

"When I find the right chair, I'm going to feel like my home office is finally complete," Kent said.

Consumer Reports said it can be helpful to try chairs out at a store before buying or buy from a site with an easy return option.
