If your office chair needs to handle the same high lateral G as a football stadium then

With the Aeron youā€™ve got to make sure itā€™s the right size and correctly set up. At that point they are imho pretty much perfect, I just donā€™t have the moolah for one.

We preferred these ā€œMirraā€ Hermanā€™s to the Aeronsā€¦ and Iā€™ve been using this for a good ten years now, excellent chairs. Would recommend . Mercifully not with my money.

Remember if your posture is shit then it wonā€™t really matter what chair you buy in terms of long term comfort.

You can pick those up in ā€˜as newā€™ condition for under Ā£200. Thankfully, they are available in a range of colours that includes the ā€˜I was never confused pinkā€™ displayed above.

Terracotta, but yes. Again not my choiceā€¦ Excellent chair at full price. For <Ā£200 its a bargain.

I wondered what had happened to my used string vests

Tried a few chairs out today in John Lewis. Hope they donā€™t mind the chair races I did, it was a pretty quiet Friday morning.

The Aeron was OK, but nothing spectacular given the eye-watering price.

Best VFM was the John Lewis branded Lois at Ā£129

Best overall for me was the Humanscale "Diffrient World"

Ā£425 and I havenā€™t shopped around yet. Gets a big guarantee too.

Not quite in the same league but today this is my coffee chair

Clearly a masterpiece of design as it has a lower shelf for parking of said coffee cup, or maybe even a muffinā€¦

31

Need to replace mine at home - what did you end up getting?

32

Havenā€™t purchased yet due to sufficient spare cash, but it will be the Humanscale one.

33

Thanks :+1:.
A trip to John L on the list now to try it out.

I revisit this thread as I need to buy a new chair.

Tried an Aaron and an Aaron remastered, and whilst I donā€™t mind the mesh, I find the seat back too low.

Tried a humanscale freedom chair yesterday, but didnā€™t really get on with the arm rests. Tried the bossā€™s Herman Miller Celle and found it too uncomfortable

I am think of clicking on a ErgoHuman

Fucking poncy chairs, just get one of these and be thankful you donā€™t have to stand up for work

thanks - any particular model. I need good lumbar support, currently having an awful bout of sciatica

As above, a Zody, though I think it was called something else then. Most other folks had Aerons - I hated them.

Iā€™m aiming for a height adjustable gas-lift desk at work so I can stand at my work station. Sitting down is slowly fcuking my back, the shit chair doesnā€™t help either.
