The Best Ergonomic Office Chair and Most Comfortable To Buy at the Moment?
How good is the leap's frame for sitting non-standard? Such as legs crossed, or one leg up over or under the other leg? I see a lot of people recommending chairs like the embody that is made to be used in the standard way while working at a desk, and not as an all-purpose chair, which is how the Aeron feels to me. I am in the market to upgrade and give my Aeron to my wife, but it often comes back to the Aeron every time I research. Like you, I need to go to a good store with options and try them out.

Herman Miller or Steelcase office chair?
Love that the Aeron is breathable.

Office chair that won’t flatten after a year or two?
I mean what do you mean by "no matter the price"? Good office chairs are all over $1K each. Anything less than this is "cheap". I don't suggest buying one new though - you can commonly get a used one off of Marketplace or someplace like that for far less than new. I paid $350 for mine I personally recommend the Aeron - it's not possible for it to "go flat" with the mesh seating. My chair is now 17 years old. I bought it in 2014, and since then I've sat in it for at least 20,000 hours - I've worked from home the entire time. While the arms are loose, the chair seat itself looks brand new. And I'm not a small guy.

Is $260 for this office chair worth the price?
I will only use an Aeron in my home office but parts will wear out and need to be replaced. I'm not sure if that disqualifies from BIFL but just a heads up it will eventually happen.

Owned an Aeron, Leap v1 and leap v2. On first sitting the leaps are nice, but when actually sitting on them for extended periods the Aeron always wins.

Is $260 for this office chair worth the price?
I've sat in my $350 Aeron size C for approximately 20,000 hours at this point, and it was used when I bought it. I've had it since 2014 shortly before I started working from home fully time. The arms are loose, but that's basically the only issue with it. The mesh still looks new. And when I bought it I weighed 350, and I'm still around 285. This looks like it is a fully adjustable model, but just missing the lumbar piece in the back. It's absolutely worth $260 and basically will be good forever. The one caveat I have is on the sizing. Aeron's come in 3 sizes - A, B, and C, with C being the largest. B is the most common. If you are of average size a B will be fine, but you sure don't want an A or a B if you are big.

Whats the best home office chair?
[old Aeron w/ roller blade wheels & Atlas headrest](https://imgur.com/gallery/KhWSGFE) I’ve never been so happy with a purchase as my FB marketplace Aeron. I upgraded to roller blade wheels, Atlas Headrest, and some memory foam arm pads.

Looking for a mesh office chair to help with back pain
Aeron is the only answer. Mine is 20+ years old, picked up from social media, advertised as “broken” but the muppet who owned it just didn’t know how to work the levers. Size matters I’m 6’2” 230 and the C is perfect.

Looking for a mesh office chair to help with back pain
My office provided me a new Aeron chair in 2011, and I’m still using it. I refuse to let them replace it with anything unless they buy a new Aeron, and so they let me keep using it.
