The Best Ergonomic Office Chair and Most Comfortable To Buy at the Moment?
I have both the steelcase gesture (which I bought in 2021 and was working from home) and the cheaper steelcase series 1 work chair in a spare office. Both are good chairs but couldn’t recommend the steel case gesture any more highly. It’s a tank and the most comfortable chair I have ever used. In my top 10 all time purchases.

Used Steelcase Gesture. Run you about 600, built like tanks, will fit damn near anyone.

The Best and Most Comfortable Ergonomic Office Chair To Buy Now?
I love my Steelcase Gesture. The tilt mechanism is unique, but the really special thing is the arm rests, which raise and lower, extend, and swivel in and out. That last thing lets you swing them inwards to actually support your arms as you type, and swing them out so you can get out of the chair. Super useful, and afaik unique in office chairs.

My local office supply store doesn't have Aerons. What are some other chairs that are just as good?
I've had a Herman Miller Aeron, Steelcase Leap v1, and Steelcase Gesture /w headrest. I think the Aeron is really overrated. People who have only had cheap chairs from Walmart think that you need the mesh bottom to prevent swamp ass, but any cloth bottom chair will accomplish that. The two Steelcase chairs I've had have been much comfier, especially the Gesture with headrest.

It’s crazy how much better the leap is. I’ve got a gesture for over a decade as well. Steelcase is the best.

Are there any office chairs that can help relieve my back pain?
I heard a lot of people can't stand the Herman Miller even with the posturefit lumbar. The mesh near the plastic frame is uncomfortable for some body types. Steelcase Leap V2 or Gesture work for more people because they adjust better. Find a local office liquidation place and test chairs before you buy. Used Aerons or Steelcase go for $300–$600. What feels great to someone else might wreck your back. Thing is, even the best chair won't save you if you're sitting 8+ hours daily. Get a standing desk. Switching between sitting and standing takes pressure off your lower back. Desky has a lot of affordable sit-stand options if you need something budget-friendly, and that combo beats parking yourself in an expensive chair all day.

New desk chair for extended sessions (<$300)
That used gesture is a much better idea than anything. Just don’t use bleach on it.

I've never owned a nice chair in my life (like a living room type of chair), ready to invest...
Even the most basic $550 Steelcase Series 1 is a game-changer. I have a Series 1 and I also have a $1500 Steelcase Gesture that I got from an office surplus store for $300. Both of them are excellent for extended sitting.

Best reasonably priced big men's desk chair?
You need to go with a commercial grade office chair. I'd take a look at Steel Case Gesture. Not cheap but hopefully you can find it used. For reference I'm about 295# and 6'3, and haven't any issues with the chair in the last 4 years. I also have a Herman Miller Embody. It's also a good chair for the last 11 years (partner uses it now). I gave it to them and got the Gesture because I wanted a chair with a solid locking back.

Steelcase Gesture if you want even more adjustment.

office chair - something with bottom padding that can last?
I find the steelcase gesture (and leap) way more comfy. You can adjust the arms on the gesture in more ways which makes a difference if you game or use your phone at your desk and the seat depth adjustment also makes a big difference, which isn't available on the aeron. But everybody is different, so totally get it if you love the aeron more.

office chair - something with bottom padding that can last?
I've said this about five times here. Steelcase Gesture. The only chair I've found that's comfortable for more than eight hours. The arms have a unique adjustment that actually lets them support your arms while typing. I do use an additional gel cushion for my extra bony ass.

where to find a standing desk for small space?
Steelcase also has some excellent choices. I prefer the SC Gesture I have at home over the HM Aeron in the office.
