“Used Herman Miller Aeron, there’s a reason it’s consistently recommended on this sub. It’s not the only BIFL but it will have one of the largest used selections.”

“… [truncated] … might be a bit heavy on the wallet but trust me the back pain ain't worth it. in terms of chair, the steelcase and aeron are peak. simple. sihoo chairs are great as well, tho they're a more underrated option.”

“Herman Miller Aeron here. It forces you to sit well. I use it in the office and at home to play in my studio. Sometimes I want it to be "more comfortable." I don't know if I can explain myself, but I would like it to be a fluffy armchair when I want to relax. Otherwise, it's an exceptional chair.”

“Everyone is different. I had a Herman Miller Aeron and it was one of my least favorite chairs. I love my Haworth I have at my work office, but I find that the Secret Lab chair in my home office is pretty comfy too.”

“Personally really don’t like it. Find the Aeron’s a pretty polarizing chair where half of the office fights… [truncated] …”

neutralofficechairs “Just buy the expensive chair and stop worrying about it, from someone that didn’t listen.”This post is just for everyone out there that needs to hear what most of the mods and others on this sub are probably thinking when someone asks what kind of chair to get. I(32M) wfh and sit in a chair 8 hours a day at minimum. I’m 6’4” and about 260lbs, so when I started my search I only looked for heavy duty chairs. I scrolled through chair review after chair review on here for months to see what I could get without opening the wallet. Come to find out I should’ve just listened in the first place. Started with an amaz*n knockoff “ergo chair” for $50, used for a month and couldn’t take the back pain. Upgraded to a nicer “executive chair” for $150 from staples, just as bad and did not feel nearly as comfy even with all the positive reviews. Started getting sciatic nerve pain a couple weeks ago and finally pulled the trigger on a secondhand Herman Miller Aeron size C from FB marketplace for $400. In one hour of sitting in it after proper adjustments on the chair and it was like a breath of fresh air for my back. Just make the investment and don’t cycle through unnecessary chairs like I did. FWIW I only sat in an aeron, a steelcase leap V2, and a 9to5 Tori from my company’s office. But the aeron was by far the best of those for my back. EDIT: apparently everyone thought I meant just go blow $1k on a chair because you have to have the money and resources available to you and if not screw you. I’m saying that as larger person who is a wfh employee and has lower back issues, your standard/cheap “ergonomic” or “extra comfort” chairs that you read good reviews on, probably won’t work for you unless you test them out. If a $20 hand me down office chair doesn’t send lightning bolts down your back, I’m happy for you. If you search this subreddit over and over again because you’re afraid of spending over $400 on a well known brand and product like I did because nothing else works, it may be in your best interest to just take the leap and do it. My goal was to stop the overly analytical and OCD perfectionists like myself that probably research this subreddit over and over hoping to find a solution to just go for it and don’t waste time on the knockoffs if it’s feasible for you. Also for anyone saying they don’t have the golden opportunity like I did to test them out, my area has office furniture liquidators all over that you can walk in and test chairs. Maybe try searching around your area for one.

neutralofficechairs “Best Office Chair Brand Right Now In 2026?”**Just wanted to circle back on this:** Thanks for all the feedback on the steelcase vs herman miller. I ended up going with a [**Steelcase Leap**](https://redditsc.com/product/B01F7B223Y?i=qvpm3qky) after seeing so many of you mention how adjustable it is for long days and how good the lumbar support is. Been using it for a while now and it's way better than my old one. No more flat cushion or sinking every time I lean back. Hi, I am writing this post because I am in urgent need of a new office chair. My current is the Steelcase Series 1 one and it's been my one and only for like 5 years now. The cushion is flat now and it squeaks and sinks whenever I lean back. I've been reading on here and and come to a realisation to either get a [**Steelcase Leap**](https://redditsc.com/product/B01F7B223Y?i=qvpm3qky), [**Herman Miller Aeron**](https://redditsc.com/product/B01N0ZUN15?i=qvpm3qky), [**Haworth Fern**](https://redditsc.com/product/B0CKMJJPX3?i=qvpm3qky) or [**LiberNovo Omni**](https://redditsc.com/product/B0FYCKPWP9?i=qvpm3qky). I don't want another cheap office chair, more like a real ergonomic mesh with solid lumbar and adjustable arms. My budget is $1,500 so I can afford each one. I thought to be loyal to Steelcase and get that Leap, however I might be missing out on something better. I honestly can't wait anymore as the summer is almost here, so I'll be working from home more and I want solid support for long days. Basically ready to pull the trigger so please help me make the final decision!

neutralbuyitforlife “Best Gaming Chairs That Actually Last?”This gets asked a ton over on r/pcmasterrace but the consensus is generally that if you intend to be at your desk playing games for a long time then the best investment is in an ergonomic chair not a 'gaming' chair. Most gaming chairs are based off race car bucket seat designs, which are intended to hold you in place for short periods and are usually tilted backwards in actual cars but are bolt upright in those chairs, they actually sort of suck as far as back support goes. They do tend to be more comfortable in the short term because they often use huge amounts of foam padding. If you're in your teens or early 20s and need something comfy for the next 5 years then get a gaming chair from someone like TitanLabs. If you're older than that or you intend to keep it for 10 years plus then the usual recommendations are Herman Millar, HumanScale and SteelCase. All of which make very well constructed chairs with good support and long warranty periods. And all of which will cost you a fair amount of money. (though Herman Millar Aerons can often be found used online when offices change their equipment, they last for 20 years or more so used ones are fine)
