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

I bought a Steelcase Leap but quickly realized the Aeron would’ve been better for how much I fart in my chair. The mesh is more aerodynamic

Beds are overrated

53 and if I have to sleep anywhere other than my own bed I'm waking up with so much pain. I used to sleep wherever in my 20s and it wouldn't bother me, back of a van, stranger's house, pub floor, etc. I feel like my poor sleeping and exercise habits when I was in my 20s and in a band may be partiall

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),

Recommendations for standing desk and ergonomic chair ? #IT #Professional

My HM chairs (Verrus and Sayl) have been incredible for my back pain. We had a Steelcase Leap that wasn't so hot, so it really depends on your personal geometry. If you don't want to spend that much, I'd highly recommend Merryfair (we have one, it's a tank!).

Can't decide - have you tried any of these?

You said you're coming from an executive style chair. All these chairs would be a torture device for your butt to a varying degrees. Still boggles my mind how a decently padded chair would affect you negatively. I have a Steelcase Leap V2, which is arguably more padded than the rest of the bunch, an

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

Comparing the most talked about chairs in each category

Its not just the Herman Miller chairs vs Leap V2. In fact, the Steelcase Amia seems to be recommended more here than the Leap V2. I own both the Amia and Leap V2 and definitely think the Amia is a safer recommendation than the Leap V2. The Leap V2’s seat cushion has very mixed opinions, while the Am

Are gaming chairs actually worth it, or just overhyped?

Personally, the Steelcase Leap v2 (which often gets recommended in these threads) was bad for me, back pain, neck pain, etc. I ended up replacing it with a no name (least to my knowledge) ergo chair. I have subsequently gotten a Titan Evo XL Nanogen chair from SecretLab. Absolutely love it. Perfect
