Can anyone recommend a comfortable chair for long hours of remote work that doesn’t break the bank?

i feel you on the sore back after full days. the branch chair is decent for $300 but the steelcase series 1 at $500 is worth the jump - way better lumbar and seat cushion that doesnt flatten. also check out the sihoo m18 around $250 or the clatina mellet if you want a headrest. what helped me was ge

Best Chair for ~$950

i was in the same spot last year with a grand to spend. secretlabs are fine but the foam is pretty firm. for that budget you can actually get a steelcase series 1 new or a used leap v2. also check the ergochair pro - it's right at $900 and has better lumbar than secretlab. herman miller sayl is anot

Is this a real Steelcase Series 1?

I don’t think that’s a Series 1. I don’t remember them having a Y-back, and the top shouldn’t flair out like that. That looks like a cheap chair. Bottom cushion is lopsided, and arms look flimsy… If it’s really a Steelcase chair, have them show you the logo on the chair.

Moving away from race car design

The Steelcase Series 1seems like a better fit for what they need. Comfort is key, especially if they're going to be spending long hours in it the Secretlab options also seem promising, but it’s always a gamble with padding on those.

Chairs with seat cushions. Ergocentric from Staples. Haworth Soji with forward tilt. Used Lifeform Chair from Facebook marketplace. Steelcase Series 1 is said to have a too firm seat. Maybe the Haworth Breck.

ngl the branch is decent but steelcase series 1 is a real upgrade - the seat foam and lumbar actually hold up past 6 months. i'd also throw Staples Ayalon into the mix around $400, it's basically a poor man's leap. if you can stretch to $550, Steelcase Series 2 gives you adjustable lumbar depth whic

Moving away from race car design

i ran into this same thing switching from a dxracer. mesh seats are brutal if you like some cushion. the steelcase series 1 is solid for shorter heights and has a padded seat option that’s way thicker than most ergo chairs. also check the secretlab titan evo softweave fabric models - the seat foam i

Best Office Chair

Crandall Office Furniture - buy a refurbished chair from there. I love my Steelcase Series 1, but I am short and was looking for adjustable seat depth. To all my chairs, I add a McKenzie Lumbar Roll, too.

Go for Haworth Soji or get something cheaper?

The main prob with the ICON Q2 is the warranty. Not use if they will be around to honor it. But then nobody buying will make that guaranteed lol.....But I mean they look robust and they made their seat cushion extra thiccccc now. I know I'm gonna sound insane but here me out. I bought a Steelcase se

Are the BTOD folks biased towards Steelcase?

You didn't answer the question. I asked which adjustments YOU wouldn't use. The only chair that Steelcase has come out within the last few years (2022) is the Karman. The other two would be Series 1 (2018) and Series 2 (2020). Do you think that Steelcase sells more Karman chairs annually than the Le
