Yes, thinking about it maybe that is partially the benefit. As it doesnt lock in place you are forced to adjust your posture.

Re: Computer Chairs?
I bought a Titan earlier in the year. Overall it is a good chair, but I was surprised by the hardness of the foam.

I'm more looking at a cherry tree exec one - I like copious padding.

Seeing as the thread has been bumped - Sidiz chair arrived, I wasn’t blown away at first but it’s proved to be very comfortable.Sundayjumper wrote: ↑Sun Feb 07, 2021 9:14 am I’ve not been following this thread but I’ve been sitting on a wooden kitchen chair for the last seven months, last week was a long week and at risk of TMI - my bottom was quite numb by the end of it. So snap decision, I’ve ordered one of those Sidiz chairs. Should be arriving Tuesday.

Re: Computer Chairs?
I think sometimes these good chairs are initially uncomfortable then feel better as your posture actually gets better when you spend time sat in them.Sundayjumper wrote: ↑Sun Sep 26, 2021 11:47 amSeeing as the thread has been bumped - Sidiz chair arrived, I wasn’t blown away at first but it’s proved to be very comfortable.Sundayjumper wrote: ↑Sun Feb 07, 2021 9:14 am I’ve not been following this thread but I’ve been sitting on a wooden kitchen chair for the last seven months, last week was a long week and at risk of TMI - my bottom was quite numb by the end of it.

Re: Computer Chairs?
I expect many are designed to be not too soft at first so they mould to you and last a lot longer than something soft and squishy which is flat and offers little support 6 months on.

Re: Computer Chairs?
My home office chair has kinda given up the ghost over the weekend so I'm back relooking at this thread.
Hermann Miller anything is like $2000 here but a lot of the gamers I know are recommending either a Corsair T3 or a Secretlab Titan EVO instead which I can get for $7-800. I see a few peeps have gone the Scretlab route but in my quick googling around I see reviews comparing them to other gaming chairs and not high end office chairs. Do any of you guys who've bought them have insights?

Re: Computer Chairs?
If I was in the market for a new chair, I'd look at a second-hand Herman Miller. At work, Sky has literally hundreds of them of varying models and they are all superb.
If you get all wobbly-lipped about the opinion of Internet strangers, maybe it's time to take a bath with the toaster as you'll never amount to sh1t anyway.
Re: Computer Chairs?
and they last forever. My Aeron that I stole is at least 14 years old and is fully functional and would basically clean up like new with a Quick dust.

Re: Computer Chairs?
cheap white bread can be great in the right situation, and takeaway curry tubs are a great Tupperware alternative for a lot of applications.Gavster wrote: ↑Wed Dec 22, 2021 1:15 pmThe list of things you shouldn't go cheap with is way longer than that:Mito Man wrote: ↑Mon Feb 17, 2020 1:05 pm 3 things you shouldn’t cheap out on, your bed, sofa and your office chair.

Re: Computer Chairs?
Holy thread bump Batman...
I need a decent chair for my office. I can put it through my company as a legitimate company expense.. so what should I buy that I can just order online today and will come reasonably quickly?
Is a secondhand Herman Miller Aeron or Embody still the way to go?

Re: Computer Chairs?
I have a HM Mirra, bit cheaper than the Aeron, got it used from a local supplier for £250, cured my shoulder issues in combination with an upright mouse so I would have another in a heartbeat.Ascender wrote: ↑Wed Nov 16, 2022 1:31 pm Holy thread bump Batman...

Re: Computer Chairs?
I bought a second-hand HM Sayl in 2015 which has served incredibly well over seven years of daily use and still looks fresh as a daisy.Ascender wrote: ↑Wed Nov 16, 2022 1:31 pm Holy thread bump Batman...

Re: Computer Chairs?
AFAIK they're all great, you can't go wrong.
Re: Computer Chairs?
They are indeed, it's the adjustability that did it for me where my old Ikea Marcus was OK the fixed arm meant I was alway weight bearing on my shoulders.
The good thing about them too is they last really well so office clearers who clear old bank offices usually have loads of them and many different models too.

Re: Computer Chairs?
I've ordered a used, remastered Aeron. No headrest, but will see how I get on with it without first.
