are Aeron Herman Miller's really peak chair tech?>meshseems like it would sag easily over time
the aeron sucks because of the plastic rim around the base of the seat and the back of the chair.
>>101220663I use a steelcase leap v1 highback where the back is mesh but seat is cloth with a foam core and the wheels are pretty much roller blade wheels. I will never use any box store chairs again especially since this was from a refurbishment place that had it on sale for $400.
>>101220663i like mine, but it's not like i'm trying all the meme ergo chairs out there to compare themi've had mine for years (and it was used) and the mesh hasn't sagged at all>>101220686this is something I imagined would be an issue, especially coming from one of those big padded "executive chairs", but it wasn't. I think it depends on what you're hoping to get out of it and what your expectations are. When I got mine I was shopping for something that would be good for working long hours without my legs or anything else becoming uncomfortable. this chair definitely exceeded my expectations for that. Dunno why it works, but it works. if you're looking for something that you can sit in all kinds of funny positions in, this probably isn't it
>>101220663Mesh doesn't absorb farts
>>101220663the chair doesnt matter if im sitting like this
>>101220663Let me guess, you need more

>>101220663I use a chinesium chair I got for $30 open box from amazon warehouse, probably the same feel as picrel kek
Just get a recliner.Get a recliner or a standing desk if you're a huge faggot. Sitting down at anything less than 135° for more than an hour or two a day will fuck up your lower back no matter how much you spend on your torture device. Even if you pull back on a typical chair the angle on your legs will kill your blood flow. You don't want blood clots to go with your chronic pain and malformed spine, do you?So get a recliner,a lumbar cushion, a stool, and get comfy.
>>101220963I sit like this, but I cross my legs indian style in the seat. Maximum comfy.
>>101222042Holy fucking based.
>>101220663nah it's good.if i'd had to make one complain it's you can't manspread and give your balls a break that easily.
>>101224551and i wish it could go lower.i have long legs for my length but the lowest setting is barely low enough.
>>101220663I heard the Aeron would shred your pantsI had a couple of Mirras and now I use an EmbodyA side effect of reading Herman Miller catalogs is that I instantly recognized Greta Thunberg’s parents’ Eames lounge chairs and instantly wrote her off as a crazy-rich puppet instead of a normal middle-class puppet
>>101224614Your hips should be slightly above your knees. What you need is a higher table.
It doesn't sag over time, I have been using mine for thirteen years now
>>101226151>it doesn't saghow
>>101220663>meshDoes it not feel 'cold' ? I live in a cold climate and normally have heating set to around 20 C.
>>101226611I’m not sure why it lasts so long, it just does. Then again, a new seat pan can be bought for roughly 150 euros where I live
>>101220663Thinking of buying this https://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/buro-persona-24-7-highback-3-lever-ergonomic-chair-black-bup24hbbk
>>101227136These prices are highway robbery, I'm betting they're made 10x less the price in bulk
>>101222042How do I adapt a recliner to a regular desk?
>>101227141What chair would you recommend then?
Haworth Fern mogs all Herman Miller chairs.
>>101226151It does though. Happened to me on 2 separate chairs within 1-2 years after I had bought them. And I'm not even that fat (180/90). It becomes really uncomfortable to sit on for the whole day after it happens. For some reason all chairs that I use daily are getting destroyed in one way or another. Aeron was not an exception, unfortunately.
>>101227158I don't know, I don't think the perfect chair out there exists yet. Maybe I should make a kickstarter for designing the ultimate (relatively) AFFORDABLE high end modular office chair for ergonomics and versatility.
>>101227161They look nice but they cost over 1k easily
>>101227161This looks nice, just needs a seat cover to prevent stainingI just hate how expensive these things are... they're like hyper printer ink autism prices
>>101227166>>101227173People drop 1k on components or devices that don't last more than 2-3 years before becoming outdated. 1k for a chair that will last 10 years and be used for 12 hours a day is a deal in comparison
I've had an Aeron for 10 years and it's over 20 years old, the sag is at the point where I can still easily get my hand between the seat and the bottom plastic piece.I'm intrigued to know if anyone else has seen a saggier chair. I think it was slightly less saggy when I bought it, but it's hard to remember. Barring a rip, I'd expect the chair to take another 20 years to sag enough to actually hit the seat cushion. I paid 250 bucks for this chair, and if it broke I'd buy a replacement part in an instant, I've seen nothing else on the market that comes close to this price performance ratio.
>>101227152You put the keyboard on your lap.
>>101220686How fat are you?
>>101220663the ultimate redpill is a comfy armchair with a lap desk to put a bluetooth keyboard and mouse on while using your computer on an oled tv
>>101227518you're big brainedalways made me think, its healthy to sit several feet away from a tv... but PC? better sit right up against it.
>>101221922Yeah actually, I need some cushion.
>>101226150that makes no sense whatsoever.
Stressless are pretty based, I tried one at a furniture store but they have a 6 month lead time for some lazy fucking nords slap it together and throw it on the slow boat. Otherwise >>101222042 is the only acceptable answer itt.
I have an aeron remastered size B (6' tall). It's ok, but nothing to write home about imho.
The Steelcase Leap is a genuinely better chair because it doesn't cut off circulation in your legs. Slightly better chairs than it probably exist, but then you're paying way more than the $400-$600 the Leap goes for refurbished.
>>101227166It's worth the expense if it's something you spend a lot of time on. Good bed, good couch, good task chair is all you need furniture wise. Everything else can be IKEA trash.
>>101220663>meshseems like it would sag easily over timeThat's why you see Aerons from 1994 in pristine condition on the secondhand market all the time. Right OP? Retard. >>101220686Fat lol>>101227161>foam seatin the trash it goes>>101230559Fat lol
>>101230934what do you need a couch for?
>>101222042cope, i purchased an embody and a headrest for it. finally my back and neck pain are gone, i can sit on the computer 12+ hours a day with ease.
>>101221959>>101227545Any cushion you like, no fabric vendor lock in. When it breaks you can just fix it yourself.
>>101232192>, i can sit on the computer 12+ hours a dayHow fat would you say you are?
for me, its the haworth zodyi change my sitting positions a lot, no back pain at all
>>1012322315'11 62kg
I want a desk designed for standing at (I am 6'6"). the desk would NOT be able to be lowered to a traditional height. instead, when I want to sit, I would sit on a rolling padded container (imagine a seat without a back that can roll around). the container would hold my life's possessions, and would situate me at a height for using the desk while squatting or sitting cross legged.
>>101232231>judging someone sitting 12+ hours at the computer >on /g/
>>101220663
>>101220663This thread is garbage. I can sit on literally anything and be comfortable, because I exercise.
>>101233302well what do you sit on usually then?
>>101232306Sorry. I meant 62 stone.
>>101220663good chair starts at 500 €/$
>>101220663I bought this when I used to be earning more money than I knew to do with. It's the altwork chair. It's like a workstation that moves around every position of your spine. I'm a software engineer who has issues with focus which can costs me tens of thousands of dollars if not more. So I invested heavily in everything I could possibly think of to try improve how I work.I don't really use the Altwork for work any more. All of the code I write is done in bed leaning up against the wall with a pillow. The second place I've worked from in the past is couch a couch laying down on it. I've written tens of thousands of lines this way and find it the most comfortable position for me. I really don't know how people manage to work from desks. It just makes me tired then I can't focus on doing the work.So my process is basically:- Get plenty of sleep- Drink a shit load of coffee to wake up- Write some beautiful code from bed- Keep stress and anxiety to a minimum by being patient and allowing yourself not to be perfect- Don't ever rush, take things slowly, the startup approach of going fast and breaking things just leads to more problems than its worth
>>101227152Small wooden platform underneath with rollers, desk with no "back" so your legs can extend, wide chair opening for room to get under it, a simple plank of wood to sit in your lap or across the arms of the chair for keyboard+mouse.
>>101227185>that will last 10 yearsI don't believe it. 105lb faggots and women that daintily alight their clapped haunches on chairs in an office high rise is not the use case.
>>101235721>he identifies objects by association of celebrityidiotic
>>101220686the plastic rim is uncomfortable in a few sitting positions but in most normal positions it isn't a problem. I've never found my Aeron uncomfortable in all the decade I've owned one.
>>101234496>let go of the mouse>clatters to the floor>a dozen electric motors take 45 seconds to get you back into an upright position so you can stand up to pick it up>repeat every 10 minutes
>>101220963You're going to get pylonoidal cyst and Bobby hill ass
>>101220663Sitting on the floor has unironically saved my backI even do it at the office. We're in open concept hell so I just brought in a literal kotatsu, four cushions and a small square carpet. It got a few laughs at first but now 3 other people unironically sit with me and one of them isn't even a dev.I'm unironically sorry if I accidentally make some idiot boss think they're the next standing desk tho.
>>101237733need me a kotatsu
>>101237733I like kotatsu, but they just don't make zaisu strong enough for someone who's 6"3'They always break
>>101237924Just get the adjustable ones if you insist but I just use a cushion so I'm forced to sit up and not on my tailbone.
>>101237733i love how every picture of a japanese room always contains 90s/2000s technologyvery comfy
>>101227161Haven't got to try out a fern or embody yet. That said I have 4 Steelcase Leap V2, one gesture, one leap v1 in the house.
>>101220663look at desuarchivestaples hyken is the best value
>>101227586No he's right.
>>101220663>Stole whatever chair they got in my office>Just worksHandle my 230 lbs fat ass just fine.
>>101230559I swapped from a leap v2 to an aeron actually and like it way more
>>101238006No the best value is getting a used Leap. Hyken is a meme chair like the Markus. If you want new the Clatina Mellet is better.
>>101220663Nothing feels like real leather.
>>101220739Crandall chads stay winning
>>101238016because raising my desk will somehow change the chair-floor distance...
>>101238091a chair is not rocket science. hyken been serving me well for the past 3 years
>>101232261got this and rather unhappy with it, the seat is way too rigid, my ass hurts after just 20 minutes, the back is nice but also not for great, the shape is just not lining up with my back.some chairs just dont fit certain people (yeah, me)
>>101238617i dunno what you expected bro, it looks uncomfortable as fuck, you gotta stop paying attention to prices and just pick one that looks comfortable to sit in
>>101238069You're a twink, we get it. Now go circle jerk in the mod Discord/IRC like a good little pet.
>>101238449A higher table will give you more room. You can use that room to raise the chair and sit correctly.
>>101238031The chair is working out daily that's for sure
>>101220663primary appeal of mesh is airflow and smellin certain parts of the country, it's not negotiable.
>>101237733Sitting Seiza feels great for your back.
>>101234496The guy in the picture, his neck is really forward, bad posture
Aeron chair hurts my lower back if I use it more than a couple of hours, I think the lumbar support is way too aggressive, even at the lowest settingto be honest I don't quite understand it, but I know that my lower spine hurts like hell if I use the Aeron fulltime
>>101220739I have the same chair and it baffles me that such a nice chair comes with such crappy casters.
>>101220663You've been reposting that same shitty thread a thousand time already, shill-kun.The answer is always the same :1/ any fucking chair2/ hit the gym
>>101239072You know you can remove the lumbar, right? Depending on which one you have, the crappy foam block can be flipped over, and the posture-fit at the lowest setting barely touches you.
>>101220770this. my padded base chair fucking reeks
Thoughts on the upcoming Fractal chair? It's the most comfortable looking desk chair I've seen.
>>101239234my back hurts just looking at it
Ikea Markus master race. They have a newer model which is supposedly "better" the Järvfjället, but I tried it, and still prefer the Markus.
>>101221922
>>101232261I have similar chair it’s okay but arm rail completely destroyed after 1 year ( rubber broke )
>tfw bought a humanscale for 450€ because the one at work were comfy >it's not as comfy as the one as work because it's a cheaper version with different mesh typeI really regret getting it, this shit is hurting my backIf the back had any support it would be way betterTried selling it online but fags are offering like 250 bucks for it, I'm not going lower than 350 (vs 550+ on their site)
>>101230978This would not be difficult to fix.
>>101227141AUSTRALIAN prices btw. NOT American.>>101227136I got a Buro chair here in NZ and it's brilliant mate, get one. It comes with a 10 year warranty.
>>101232192i have the exact same color and poor boy "rhythm" fabric. what made you go for the atlas headrest? been curious but if it adds marginal difference then not worth it
>>101220663not punch resistant, so not for me
>>101232192this your setup? whats the footrest?
>>101237924this one is pretty good
>>101220663Just slap one of these on any chair with armrests, add some lumbar support and you're gucci, no more ass and back pain, and no overpriced and overdesigned crap.
>>101243025I have cheaper model it’s total scam
>>101220663I'm not an expert on ergonomic chairs by any means but I just got a steelcase amia as my first nice office chair for $100 used. It's the best chair I've ever owned. The lumbar support is easily adjustable while sitting, and it doesn't dig into your back as much as other models I've tried in store. Haven't had a single issue with the amia so far.
part of the cure for back pain is active sitting. took weeks to adapt to sitting in a qor360 ariel but it reduced my back pain significantly
