Ergonomic mesh office chairs are overrated

Not all ergonomic chairs are created equal. You actually have to adjust the chair to your body and sit properly. No chair works for everyone. Herman Miller Aeron is great for me, but a Mira 2 kills my back, and I hated the Steelcase Leaps they had at my last job. Ergonomic chairs are not supposed to

Chair cylinder rubbing carpet

Steelcase cylinders ride low to support shorter users. With time, they tend to push even lower and rub on cut pile carpets. My Leaps both have this issue. Yours should clear a hard chair mat without any problems, but if not, you can see if BTOD can help you out, or just get taller caster wheels for

Looking for my first non gaming chair and these are the two I’ve seen so far that are affordable enough for me if anyone has any different recommendations let me know

I sometimes wonder if there's a PR campaign going on. Maybe not the majority of comments but perhaps a fair bit to influence the group-think. Just speculation though. Personally I found the top brands to be underwhelming. Sitting on Steelcase Think and before Okamura Baron (Japanese premium brand),

suggest me a good ergonomic chair for petite women please

Silly question here, but is there some secret to getting it lower? I'm 5'1" and just got a Steelcase Leap V2, and (adjusted as low as I can seem to get it) my feet are still at least an inch away from the ground. My guess is that I just have exceptionally short legs, but I'm a bit frustrated after s

Need urgent advice before I pull the trigger

OP, go out there and try out the chair rather than just buying it. Of course the price is very less, but sit, take a feel for 15 to 20 minutes, understand how does your back adjust to the chair. I made the mistake of buying a Steelcase Leap V2 recently because it was coming at a good price. I had te

Going to pull the trigger on embody, fern, leap or something?

At 6'2" 280lbs more-torso-than-legs, the Embody is probably your best of the three, but for specific reasons most posts don't mention. Embody's pixel back conforms to body shape better than the Fern's bionic-frame back, which assumes a more average torso width. People with broader shoulders or back

Help me pick a chair. Please. I am going insane.

1st step I would always recommend finding a way, or a position where you can sit long hours comfortably without any pain. For me, it's my car front seat. Analyzing the elements that makes sitting painless in my car, I managed to find the chair that allows me to sit like I sat on my car seat. So what

Was it a good deal? 40€

Is it a good deal? Yes Is it a great chair? It's ok, but no, not really. It's borderline between an ergonomic office chair and a task chair. This is entry level Steelcase and would usually be used in places like a boardroom where you will be using it for a limited time only. Not somewhere that you w

Embody vs Aeron vs Steelcase leap v2 or other alternative

Honestly you really need to test these chairs in a showroom to know if it's good I recently went to one to test different chairs and found out the embody is the most uncomfortable chair I have ever had the misfortune of sitting on, but the aeron on the other hand I can completely understand why it's

Picked up a Steelcase Gesture on FBMP for $90!

I know the Aeron's are supposed to be one of the best, but they just look so rigid to me! They seem like a really solid option for people that are chill enough to stay fairly still, but just the look of them makes me feel stir crazy. That one was never really on my radar for that reason. The only HM
