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?

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!
