Let's Talk Chairs ....

Holla amigos ....
 
Here's my last dayz  ...i resale my old Herman miller Mirra , wanting to upgrade to the Mirra 2 , i then went to shop and tried the Mirra 2 and was less confortable than the one .... not a big diffrence but i said ok let's take this occasion to really upgrade so i went to a fully loaded Aeron Remastered .
 
Build quality : exellent
Looks : beauty (went for the broshed aluminim and black) called executive one
Back support : better than mirra ..almost no more back pain !!
Seat : the big problem here , it literrally cuts my legs !!! blood pressure ect ....
 
Wtf , i saw some comments then about it ...how can some people love it with such a big issue ? even a fiurend that weight like a bird had this problem ?
 
So now i'm conisdering the Embody , but i do feel it's less build like a tank than the Aeron ...
 
Any feedback ?
 
I don't considere humanscale ect because i have to buy from herman miller (since i'm getting the aeron back after the refund period)
 
Cheers
 
(last optipn is ti go with a mirra 2 witch is bad but i would love to upgrade ;))
 
 

I have a kneeling chair similar to this:

It puts more pressure on your knees while taking some of the pressure off your back and other places. I don't use it all the time though. It's totally unsuitable when you need to play an instrument, but it's perfect when you're just editing.

Selecting the right chair is something that should be a very high priority, especially if you sit in front of a computer for hours at a time.
 
The commercial "task" chairs are best.  The executive type chairs may look cool sitting in an office, but are not really designed to support your posture.
 
Years ago I was nearly disabled by lower back pain, and decided to switch to a premium task chair.  I have no more back pain, and have avoided back surgery.  Priceless!!!
 
Yes, a good chair can be very expensive, but so can doctor bills and being laid up and unable to work! 
 
I bought a $700 Steelcase chair about 12 years ago, that came with a 10 year warranty.  Shortly before the warranty expired, I got the gas cylinder and the armrests replaced for free.  So far that has worked out to about $5 a month to remain pain free ... and with probably another 10 years life in this chair.  Built like a tank. 

The Herman Miller Aeron chair was one of thr best improvements to my studio. I can work for hours and stay comfortable. One added benefit, I was using a leather executive chair before and once I switched to the aeron I could hear better because I didn't have the back of the chair blocking my hearing. I know that sounds odd but it's true.
