tbh for lower back pain and your budget, i'd def check fb marketplace or offerup for a used herman miller aeron or steelcase leap. you can usually find them for around $200-300 and they're wayy better quality than most new chairs in that range, plus they're built to last yk. for something new, the h

I'm also 5'11" and weigh 195lbs and have the LiberNovo chair with footrest and cooling pad. I wouldn't recommend it due to the backrest taking up a back portion of the seat, which results in you being unable to fully sit in the seat and feeling like you are falling out or being pushed forward out of

Hey there, Austin here - thanks for considering us in your quest! I’ll let other users jump in here but hopefully can speak to Branch’s ergonomic options! At 5'7", you're right in the sweet spot for this chair (we recommend it for folks between 5'2" and 6'2"), and it sounds like it could really help

The Branch Ergonomic Chair saved my lower back! Sat 9hrs/day for a week, no more aching—lumbar support hits just right, and the mesh back doesn’t make me sweat. Under $400?

Hi, Austin here from Branch Furniture! I can throw in my two cents as someone who lives and breathes this stuff! In general on your quest, the things that matter most are adjustability (seat height, lumbar support, armrest positions, and seat depth at minimum), warranty length, & a seat that distrib

Hey! I work in office furniture & definitely agree with others in the thread so far on investing in quality without going overboard on bells & whistles unnecessarily. From my time in the industry when you're evaluating any office chair, I always tell clients to pay super close attention to the warra

i think for that price the best that you can do are the HON Ignition 2.0 or the Branch Ergonomic Chair both solid options under $300, with good lumbar support and cushioning that make them more comfortable for long hours than mesh-heavy designs

Hey! Austin from Branch here just now seeing this post - hopefully folks who have the Ergonomic at their own setups can give you some insight, but I wanted to chime in in the meantime! If you want to DM me a little bit more about your height/sitting habits/chair “must-haves” I can offer more detaile
