I've been using an ikea wooden chair with a cushion, scouring marketplace and second hand shops for "the deal" and I finally found it! $12 for a Herman Miller Aeron, I'm pretty sure. I'm geekin'.

Hi office chair community! Before you jump to say ahhhh a boring recommendation post at least hear my reasonings… let me plead my case:

As of September 2026 I have been a university student, within that same month I was diagnosed with CRPS in my arms. I can’t type or write or do much of anything these days due to my pain, I was an avid gamer and have had to stop playing for over a year now. I have worked my ass off to get into one of the most competitive schools and into a program I truly love at the age of 26 (late bloomer!!). I have overcome a lot in my life and my next challenge is finding a damn good comfy chair so my arms can feel some comfort and I can work on these assignments and make my family proud 🥲

I have pain that starts in the shoulder, wrists, forearm, elbow so finding a nice arm rest would be truly life changing, just the smallest bits of relief make such a difference for me.

My school pays up to $600 for the chair

I’d like something with adjustable height, good arm rests, and good back support. I also really love when I can tilt the chair back. I previously had a DX racer (I’m sorry gaming chair 😭 ) and liked the height and that it rocked back.

Hey all,

I’m looking for a new chair and am debating between a Herman Miller Setu and a Mirra. On average, I spend about 2 to 3 hours a day at my desk. Is the investment in a Mirra worth it for that amount of time, or is the Setu good enough for my use case?

Has anyone tried the Actiu Trim chair? It seems like a good chair.

I have 3 Steelcase Leap V2s, and I noticed that one is different. One on the right has a different hydrolic, while the one on the left (and another one I own). The only difference is the one on the right is leather. (One on the left and not pictured are fabric)​. It's not an age thing because the one on the right and the other not pictured are newer (have QR Codes) while the one on the left does not. Do some V2s just have different hydrolics or are they broken? Thank you!

Any help deciphering Herman Miller Mirra 1 model number MR121PAMN2G1C7G1BK7Q01 is appreciated!

I'm 6 1 male and on the larger side, after some research the Steelcase Leap V2 seems like a solid option, but not a chance i can afford one new. Does this look like a good deal for a used option?

Hey guys, I’ve been using a Secretlab Titan Evo 2022 for a while, but the integrated lumbar support just isn't cutting it for me anymore and my lower back is taking a beating during long sessions. Looking to sell it and swap to something better for back health. I need proper lower back support for work, but also something that reclines comfortably when I want to lean back and play console games on my monitor. I'm looking to sell the Titan Evo and add no more than $100/€100 extra out of pocket for the new chair (open to second-hand or budget ergonomic options). Any recommendations that hit that sweet spot between posture support and relaxed reclining?

Hello, asking for some purchase advice here.

I got a Steelcase leap v1 years ago. Chair is really good, but the seat cloth is getting ripped as I change position a lot on the chair, friction from that weakens the fabric.

I already changed seat once when I found a cheap one from second hand. I tried to stick to once position but I cant, now it is breaking again!

Can you recommend a better chair for my use, or what material should I aim for instead? I'm afraid mesh would just rip appart the whole seat. And leather worked well on my previous ikea chair.

Does anyone have an idea on the make and model of this office chair?

Hey guys, I'm looking for a good ergonomic chair since I work from home and spend around 8–10 hours a day at my desk. My budget is around 100k, but I can stretch it a bit if it's worth it. Mainly looking for something comfortable with good back support and long-term durability. I've been considering the Rae Ergo Flex 4D Plus, but not sure if it's the best option for the price. Has anyone used it, or are there any better options available in Sri Lanka? Would appreciate some honest recommendations from people who've used their chairs for a while. Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I made a post recently asking for recommendations for an ergonomic chair in Europe. I was originally leaning towards the Desktronic SitePro, but I noticed the current Autumn sale on the Steelcase EU store, so I'm now considering the Steelcase Series 1 and Series 2 instead.

A bit about me:

• Height: 182–183 cm (around 6'0")
• Weight: 79 kg (174 lbs)
• Mainly used for gaming and general computer use, often for long sessions.
• I mostly sit upright, sometimes lean forward, and occasionally recline.
• I'm used to having a headrest on my current gaming chair, but I'm not sure how much I'd actually miss it. A headrest isn't a requirement.
• I live in Denmark, and unfortunately, I don't have an opportunity to try these chairs in person.

With the current sale, the prices I'm seeing are:

• Steelcase Series 1: €532.18
• Steelcase Series 2: €655.18

That's a €123 difference, which seems reasonable if the Series 2 offers meaningful improvements in comfort and adjustability.

I'm looking for something that offers good value for money within my budget. I'm not necessarily looking for the most expensive model; I just want a good chair for the price.

My main questions are:

1. For someone my height and weight, is the Series 2 noticeably better than the Series 1 for long gaming sessions?
2. Is the wider/taller backrest and different back support on the Series 2 worth the extra €123?
3. How comfortable are they when reclining? I don't recline constantly, but I'd like it to feel comfortable when I do.

Thanks for any advice!

I was planning to buy it since I am having a lot of lower back pain and need to sit for 7-8hrs a day

I can't decide between the two.

I think that Ikea BÄSTBOLL has better lumber support is more comfortable. But I like that the Jysk VARPELEV comes in a grey color.
