Herman Miller
4.5
(60)
"Herman miller aeron, been in the same one for 13 years and it's like new, amazing for the back."
"A legendary ergonomic chair with adjustable lumbar support, breathable mesh fabric, and customizable tilt settings, ideal for long hours of sitting."
"I’ve used the Herman Miller Aeron for 8 hours a day, almost every day, for the past 12 years. It still feels like I’m sitting on nothing. But the moment I switch to any other chair—even a decent one—my lower back and neck start aching within an hour."
"The Herman Miller Aeron Chair is a legendary ergonomic chair, and its leather edition elevates its sophistication."
"I have found the most comfortable for long periods of the day."
"Herman Miller Aeron is the answer."
"They're pretty much indestructible."
"Logitech Herman Miller Embody as well. Usually 9/10-10/10 for most."
"If your budget allows, I’d suggest the HM Aeron."
"I tested the Aeron in JL newcastle, then bought it here."

Steelcase
4.6
(25)
"The Gesture is newer/higher price point, so there aren't nearly as many on the used market."
"I have a Steelcase Leap V2 that I love, but I think the Steelcase Gesture is actually a tier above."
"Steelcase Gesture – Designed for dynamic movement, this chair offers exceptional adjustability, including armrest"
"My steelcase Leap 2 is pretty great and you can get a refurb from Crandall for a great price. Honestly better than new imo because they put a thicker bottom cushion on there by default"
"If you’re over 6 feet tall, the Steelcase Gesture and Herman Miller Aeron (Size C) are both solid options."
"I got a Steelcase, used excellent condition for $40."
"I’m 5’3” and the chair that fit me best was the Steelcase Amia."
"The Steelcase Amia is a very neutral, supportive chair that makes it easy to sit properly."
"Get a steelcase or aeron maybe something similar if out of budget."
"Has been absolutely amazing."

SecretLab
3.6
(9)
"It's exceeded my expectations."
"SecretLab are generally acknowledged to be the best. They're always expensive, but you can save like $200 on one if you wait for sales."
"SecretLab chair €400 in 2021 (no pain after 12 hours)"
"It's a great chair but as others have pointed out there are other options available."
"Just got a big secret lab chair and it's actually really good if not overpriced."
"Having used both Herman Miller and a Secret Lab chairs I am fully converted on Secret Lab."
"Secretlab."
"Secretlab are a very expensive gaming chair and nowhere near as ergonomic or as well built as a good office chair."
"SecretLab chairs are terrible… all marketing"
