I bought a Steelcase Leap but quickly realized the Aeron would’ve been better for how much I fart in my chair. The mesh is more aerodynamic

Ergonomic mesh office chairs are overrated

Not all ergonomic chairs are created equal. You actually have to adjust the chair to your body and sit properly. No chair works for everyone. Herman Miller Aeron is great for me, but a Mira 2 kills my back, and I hated the Steelcase Leaps they had at my last job. Ergonomic chairs are not supposed to

Beds are overrated

53 and if I have to sleep anywhere other than my own bed I'm waking up with so much pain. I used to sleep wherever in my 20s and it wouldn't bother me, back of a van, stranger's house, pub floor, etc. I feel like my poor sleeping and exercise habits when I was in my 20s and in a band may be partiall

Recommendations for standing desk and ergonomic chair ? #IT #Professional

My HM chairs (Verrus and Sayl) have been incredible for my back pain. We had a Steelcase Leap that wasn't so hot, so it really depends on your personal geometry. If you don't want to spend that much, I'd highly recommend Merryfair (we have one, it's a tank!).

Opinion on study chair.Markus vs Steelcase

You'll get swamp ass with Steelcase Leap V2's cushion seat unless your air con is on 24/7, only mesh chairs work well in Singapore's hot and humid weather. Go try the Herman Miller Aeron at Marina Square Xtra then buy it on Shopee special days for $900+.

4 years old but still works like a charm!

Did you get the Gesture? I'm thinking either Leap V2 or Gesture with the headrest. Would love to know your thoughts. Edit: You're the first one that said Gesture has a thicker seat than Leap V2, whereas everywhere I'm reading, they're saying Leap V2 has a better chair, and the Gesture's seat is thin

Are gaming chairs actually worth it, or just overhyped?

Personally, the Steelcase Leap v2 (which often gets recommended in these threads) was bad for me, back pain, neck pain, etc. I ended up replacing it with a no name (least to my knowledge) ergo chair. I have subsequently gotten a Titan Evo XL Nanogen chair from SecretLab. Absolutely love it. Perfect

What is a 'buy it for life' item that is offensively expensive, but the moment you use it, you realize your entire life before that point was a lie?

Funny, I shopped around for months to find a "great" high end office chair. I eventually bought a Steelcase leap v2 for like $1700 CAD, and while the material quality is way better, for comfort I would way rather have my old $300 piece of shit Staples chair back. The staples chair fell apart after l

What did you think was pretentious, until you tried it and realized it was worth it?

Paid $350 for a used Steelcase Leap when a local office was liquidating and my sciatica has gotten so bad since then. I often switch to my $20 Walmart office chair until my lower back calms down and my hamstrings start hurting instead. One day I'll try for another expensive chair, but it's just a sh

My last chair died in under a year so I’m really hoping this one survives.

My main issue with the “standard office chair” design like Herman millers, steelcase, etc.. is not all of us sit in an office like upright posture 24/7. A lot of us use our chairs like a couch.. for work, for gaming, for lounging watching movies. I sit with my foot up underneath me frequently, cross
