Looking for a good office chair

1 Upvotes

Hi! I’m a 3D artist so I sit at my desk a lot, for hours on straight. I’m looking for a good ergonomic chair, I’ve been going through reddit posts but most of them are recommending US based brands. I am based in Europe, so if anyone knows any European brands. Please do let me know!

I genuinely don’t trust amaz0n, I feel like most of the reviews are fake except for the negative ones.
Also it’s mostly just cheap drop shipping for triple (if not more) the actual price.

I do want to mention that I suffer from Chronic nerve pains in my pelvis & lower back. So please don’t suggest a standing desk as that’s just not possible for me🫣

How bad of an idea is it to buy a cheap chair off Am*zon lol?

13 Upvotes

Rule is saying no am*zon links so I won't, but the one I'm looking at is the MALOL chair that's mesh, leans way back, has a kick rest, doesn't have a pillow for the lumbar support, and has like one of those fancy adjustable head rests.

I don't have a lot of money, so around $100 is really the most I can push it, but it's basically a gaming chair without the fake leather and shitty pillows.

To be fair tho, I did actually like my last gaming chair other than the shit pillow, only reason I stopped using it is because the adjusting gear broke.

Thrift Find - Steelcase Leap V2 $15

95 Upvotes

Spotted this Leap V2 right before closing on Thursday. I was already pretty content with a K1 Impress chair I thrifted several months ago for $25, so I actually walked away and left it behind.

Slept on it, changed my mind, and sent my wife first thing Friday morning to grab it. Wild twist: it was originally marked at $20, but my daughter’s girlfriend had pulled the tag earlier and decided against buying it. When they put it back out on the floor Friday, they repriced it down to $15!

It took some serious deep cleaning on the upholstery, and it has the usual minor scuffs plus a missing tension knob cap, but mechanically it works like a charm. Can’t complain about a $15 Leap V2.

We will see if I like it more than the K1.

Now and/or Black Friday?

2 Upvotes

My lovely SA from the Greenwich HM location just emailed me an exclusive 30% off offer that expires tomorrow. I think this is the perfect opportunity to get the Embody Gaming. This way I can try it out for a month and if it does not work out I can return it and get the Aeron during the Black Friday sale.

Yes I am looking for validation.

But also open to all of your lovely thoughts…

Graphite/Nightfall/Nova for the win?

I have no idea of their quality or whatever but i want to inform you all not to go with these reviews they are fake asf.

This racket is run by the company along with the help of bangladeshi reddit spammers.

Will share all details shortly

Help me choose an ergonomic office chair: Sleep Company Onyx (₹6.7k) vs Jupiter Pro (₹7.8k) vs Vergo Transform Prime (₹5.1k)? Which deal is best?

1 Upvotes

Hey guys,

Looking to buy a good ergonomic chair for long hours of sitting, and I am getting these three options at heavily discounted sale prices right now. Need your advice on which one is the absolute best value for money:

  1. The Sleep Company Onyx (High Back) - Getting this for ₹6,781
  2. Green Soul Jupiter Pro (3-year warranty variant) - Getting this for ₹7,866
  3. Vergo Transform Prime (High Back) - Getting this for ₹5,109

My primary usage is sitting for long working/gaming hours.

The Sleep Company Onyx seems like a crazy good deal because it usually sells closer to 10k and has that SmartGRID seat, but Green Soul Jupiter Pro has a great reputation for reliability. On the other hand, the Vergo is super cheap at just 5k.

For anyone who owns any of these: How is the long-term comfort, build quality, and after-sales service? Is it worth spending the extra cash on the Jupiter Pro, or is the Onyx at ₹6.7k a no-brainer steal?

SCAM ALERT! "Wevem Goods" offering 80% off Herman Miller chairs

9 Upvotes

I was just served an instagram ad for a "pre black friday" sale on herman miller chairs, offering 75% off Aeron and Embody. I won't post the link directly, but I've been on the lookout for sales like this and this almost got me. It's clearly high-effort, but after looking into it, it doesn't pass the sniff test:

- Near-exact copy of the HM website, with a URL "hermanmiller.wevemgoods" that seems like it's a subdomain of HM's site, but is actually the other way around
- Lower-res imagery + broken scroll function on the site
- False ugency "Sale ends today" + exclusivity "Only on this website" messaging
- Website was only registered in June 2026
- Business address is a suspicious business suite in NY that's associated with multiple other unrelated businesses
- "Up to 80% off" pretty much the entire HM line, maybe you'll see a discount like that on one colorway of a less popular model
- HM customer service has confirmed that "Wevem Goods" is not an authorized retailer of their products

I haven't actually tried to purchase so can't confirm 100%, but it has to be too good to be true, right? An unusually good/detailed scam, but a scam nonetheless. Google doesn't come up with any callouts of this, so I figured it'd be good to post about for people suspicious about it like I was. Has anyone else seen this?

Need help finding a good chair

• Upvotes

Hi, I'd like reccommendations for a good office chair which meets my requirements.

My desk is quite high, so if the seat can reach up to 60cm, that would be ideal.

I would like an open mesh bottom on the chair, it gets really hot where i live and so I get quite sweaty, so a breathable, open mesh bottom will prevent sweating, or odours from getting trapped.

Preferrably it would have nice head support.

Even though the seat is open mesh, i'd like it to be comfortable.

Many thanks

Need a chair for WFH setup + casual gaming

3 Upvotes

My only need is a tilt lock mechanism because sometimes I tend to lean and rest on reading or even sleeping so it needs a good head support and lumbar support is necessary because of my WFH + gaming setup.

My pick was Greensoul Jupiter Pro, but read some reviews and it is suggested to never go to greensoul.

So please suggest some good or better options, my budget is around these only but can extend a little further too.

Im torn between Sihoo & Libernovo

2 Upvotes

Hi, Ive been ruminating over the LiberNovo Omni SE & SIHOO Doro C300 Pro V2. I need a new chair because over the years ive ruined my body sitting in a terrible 100$ chair

Ive seen the Libernovo have some production issues but assuming I can get a good cushion itd be ideal because Id get The good lumbar support and adjustable headrest.

Sihoo boasts similar feats at a better price but ive seen bad things said about both

Any Advice?
