Herman Miller
4.5
(71)
"Herman Miller Aeron... known for superior lumbar support and adjustability."
"Oh my god this thing is fucking amazing, I had the ikea markus before but that thing has -50 lumbar support."
"Seconding HM Aeron - it's not a purchase, its investment."
"A well-kept Aeron Classic still performs just as well as new ones."
"Aeron is king. I have a size C and i gave my wife the size B. Add the roller blade wheel mod and the headrest and it’s the coolest chair ever."
"The Aeron isn’t the best because it has the most comfortable feeling while you are sitting in it. It’s the best because you don’t feel the strain of sitting for long periods of time."
"Good brands like Herman Miller, Steelcase, and Haworth are on a whole different level of comfort, craftsmanship, and durability."
"I have a Herman Miller I bought for about that price and it's glorious."
"I've tried the Embody and a few Steelcase chairs, and find the Aeron is still the most comfortable for me."
"Herman Miller Aeron and Herman Miller Embody are probably the two most recommended/default."

"Got a new steel case gesture 2 years ago for about 1350. best chair i've ever used."
"Picked up a refurbished Steelcase Leap v2 several years back and it is the best chair I've ever had, bar none."
"Generally a good bet you'll find a Steelcase Leap there. I have yet to see anything nicer."
"I bought a steelcase leap V2 for $150 and reupholstered it for $50. Easily the best chair I've ever had."
"Leap V2 is sooo good and highly recommended."
"Steelcase Leap V2 used is the best bang for buck."

"I wanted one under $200 and got the dexley from office depot."
"Home office I have cheap Staples Ayalon Mesh with ton of adjustments and still like new after 5 years. HM isn't really more comfortable and I can sit in both for 10h"

"Love my old Haworth Zody"

"I have a Secret Labs, I'm not sure this is actually an "ergonomic" chair, but it's what I use in my home lab. Yes, I like it."
"I also have the Titan for my home and I’ve often thought about the most efficient way to smuggle an Aeron out of the office."
"The only gaming chair I would recommend is the secret labs chair and only if you need a chair that has a high weight limit."
