Desk Chair Recs
- Page 1 of 1
The old desk chair I bought from Office Depot for $200 is finally falling apart, so I need a new chair. And whereas my back used to get sore once a year maybe, these days it's happening more often and I suspect the shitty chair is to blame.
Been thinking about getting the Herman Miller Embody, but it's so damn pricey and I don't want to spend the $1100 without having sat in it first. D:
The Other Options:
I had tried the Aerons before and wasn't super in love with it. It's a damn comfy chair for sure, but I always come away from it feeling like, "huh, wasn't as great as I thought it'd be"
The chair at my current job is the Steelcase Leap and I'm not a fan. Buuuuut it's cheap, and looks great.
At my old job we had these Haworth Zody Task chairs and they were fucking amazing. Most comfortable chair I ever sat in, but I just wish they looked nicer.
Anybody got a favorite? Recs? Love to hear what you think of these chairs if you've had your bum in them before.

I used the Aerons for over three years at work and they're great.
You should also consider pairing a good chair with a standing desk.

I can't really help you out, but I know the next chair I get won't have arms. Things get in my way more often than not.
Has never considered a high tech chair by my wife has some at her engineering firm and they are SWEET.
I'd use mine for gaming tho.

Hate standing desks.
Aerons aren't the comfiest chair in the world. And if you read about how they came about, you'll understand why. They aren't designed to pamper your ass with big cushy softness.
But they will support you, the material will breathe, and you won't get tired sitting in one. You don't get that seat exhaustian / tiredness as with others.
Aerons are great if you're not looking for a comfort chair, but something you can spend 15 hours stints in.
Also look at the need for seat gamer chairs if it's for home. They're comfy. http://www.needforseatusa.com/ outside the USA they're called DX Racer.

My chair (Hon Nucleus), bought from https://eurekaergonomic.com/gaming-desk/, costs $430 on Amazon, and I love it. It's comfier than the Aeron I have at work and great for all-day sitting. Before I bought it, I went to my local office furniture store and tried out a couple dozen chairs; if you can do that, you might discover something you truly enjoy. Just be certain that it is rated for all-day sitting. I used to have a cheapo imitation leather chair from Staples, but after 10 months, the padding was gone. I suffered searing back pain from sitting for more than 2 hours, so I upgraded to a better one.
Seven years I planted my butt in this chair
