Amia

The Areon, which is thier most popular chair, comes from a time where ergonomics were considered a fixed caged posture and nothing else. Since the 90’s the field of ergonomics understood that it’s normal to have movements in your chair and made designs that adapt to that. I don’t have places to test

So the real answer is no one can tell you that. What works for one person may not work for another. What I can tell you is that the higher end chairs, Steelcase and Herman Miller for example are built to last. They use high quality components that should last decades vs your staples chair that will

There’s lots of good advice here already, but a good chair has to be part of the solution. I’m curious what chair you tried that didn’t help. There’s a lot of junk out there sold as premium that’s really not. I don’t sit at a desk all day, but I switched to a Steelcase Amia during Covid and it’s one

Is it worth the price, yes. Is it the right fit for you who knows? My brother in law loves it. I bought one on marketplace but it didn't work for me so sold it back at the same price.

Sounds like some people in this thread might’ve just not given it enough time to adjust (there I

No it is not, or at least I didn’t like it. I’m returning mine and getting a refurbished steelcase amia. If you sit in it for 8+ hours I’d wager it will do the same thing to your back as it did to mine; break it.

Kinda? Honestly I kind of see them on a spectrum where Herman Miller’s offerings are much more hit-or-miss depending on body size/weight and design philosophy, and Steelcase and Haworth’s designs are a bit less out there but definitely have more widespread ergonomic appeal. 9 times out of ten I’m on

Fuck what everyone is saying get the steelcase amia. I’ve tried many chairs and the Amia is the one with the widest & tallest arms. I sit in damn near all these positions. I hate sitting normally and the Amia is the best one for that reason

So first off the number one thing to understand is the reason Steelcase and Herman Miller are constantly recommended here aren't just for their ergonomics but specifically for their longevity. You can get a very comfortable office chair from Staples but it is going to fall apart in a year or two and
