Ergonomic chair recommendations for WFH
Herman miller, haworth, steelcase, humanscale Humanscale manufacture in Dublin and you can give their factory a visit and try a few chairs. I was there yesterday and will be getting the Freedom with headrest

Do chairs actually have a lifespan or am i just cursed?
I've had the same Humanscale Freedom chair for 7 years and it still looks brand new...and it has a 15 year warranty, so not really worried. Didn't have the same luck with Aeron (seat wore away within the first couple of years...known issue)...Knoll chair I had before that squeaked like hell and got

I don’t want to sit upright. I want a chair that supports this.
You need seat tilt and probably independent back recline, to a deep enough angle, both lockable. It's achievable, but double check all those points, there are a lot of chairs that only have some of those. I have a secretlab chair that lets me sit like this or even more reclined, though my head isn't

Looking for a new chair, considering Humanscale Freedom (UK)
I know this was posted 6 months ago but I came across the post looking for discussions on this chair. I was given one by my employer during lockdown when they decided to do away with the office lease when everyone started WFH. They had a stash of chairs in storage which they then had to either dump

Best ergonomic chair for programmers
I've gone through so many computer chairs that it's actually embarrassing. I had 2 Aerons and they were genuinely awful for me. The sides of the chair would dig into my back after a few hours because the mesh just doesn't have enough support to hold me properly. I had a Humanscale Freedom chair too

Are there any ergonomic chairs that actually recline far for after hours?
It’s a center of gravity issue. When you lean all the way back, your center of gravity moves back also. Too far and base will not support you, and you’ll bend the cylinder. To support this you would need a huge base, which would make the chair unusable. This is why there are no lie-flat office chair

Best office chair for not more than 500 $
Recently bought a humanscale freedom chair with headrest and it's saving my back/shoulders/neck. I scored a great deal on a used one on FB marketplace for $300 when the chair retails for 1.7k. I found a used office chair warehouse and they carried Herman Miller & steel case chairs mostly because the

Any ideas on this chair?
It's very likely Humanscale Diffrient, with a small chance it's some clone. Should be a very comfy chair with Humanscale's particularly limited adjustments (they have a philosophy to build chairs that adjust to most just by their design, but I've seen low to no complaints of bad fitting, so they may

Cheap Alternatives to Hag Tion/ Okamura Specere?
In my 20s I could sit on anything and feel fine after long hours. I’m paying for that now in my 30s with lower back and sciatic nerve pain that requires regular steroid shots and physiotherapy. I’m an extreme case but it’s worth considering your long term back health. There are some nicer looking er
