Need a chair for WFH (have short torso)

When i was in China a few months ago (Shanghai) and visited a retailer that sells both Chinese as well as more name brand chairs (the store I visited is at 101, Building 10, No. 358 Kangding Road, Jing'an District)...they had a pretty great selection of Humanscale chairs. Great prices on the World L

I've tried all the heavy hitters. What now?

Humanscale? Not as heavy duty, but ergonomic comfort for smaller framed folks. (I love the World Diffrient if you are on a budget.)

Best possible chair for a cheap reasonable price?

Here’s the thing, a proper chair is the perfect example of “you get what you pay for.” Can you buy what you might consider a comfortable chair for $200? Sure…just grab whatever Chinese made crap they sell at OfficeMax, Staples, Costco, Sam’s Club…. But then be prepared to spend another $200 a year f

Humanscale Liberty - gas lift durability/replacement

I have 2 humanscale world mesh and had to replace 1 cylinder on it. While I was at it, I also replaced the wheels with the rollerblade type and they are standard wheel replacements. As for the gas cylinder, it was getting stuck in down position. After messing around with it, I discovered the sleeve

aosom chair - good chair for spondylolisthesis

I recommend the Diffrient World chair from Humanscale. Nice lumbar support and waterfall edge reduces numbness in legs when sitting for a while. Got mine 2nd hand for £175 but they are quite expensive new.

Best chair for a short fella

I'm the same size as you and was worried about finding a chair to fit me recently - I ended up buying a refurbished Humanscale World chair which has been really good. Some people don't like the free backrest tilt but at our weight it takes purposeful force so I have no problems with it. I don't use

Herman Miller Chair.. what one?

It depends. Mesh chairs can be deceptively comfortable, but they're not comfortable for everyone especially an Aeron. I much prefer the Mirra 2 over an Aeron even though the Aeron is the more "advanced" chair. The Aeron punishes you if it's you didn't get the memo to buy one in the right size or you

Test Drove a Humanscale Recently ... and it was just ... okay

Did you look at the Humanscale World Diffrient? As a smaller framed woman, I have always loved the way the mesh seat version fits and cradles my legs. Alternatively, I often used a HON Ignition without the arms installed and that seemed to promote better posture when chained to a desk for prolonged

If you get thigh pain from your Aeron, buy this overpriced cushion.

I just did the same with my HumanScale world mesh chair as I had the same issue. Made a world of difference and I no longer contemplate buying a new chair. Only issue is it boosts me about 2 inches higher than normal, so the back support doesn’t hit as perfectly as it used to
