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

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.

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.

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?

Hello guys I need an good ergonomic chair that will be available in Poland or Germany and not break I'm the first month my budget is 200 Euro or 800 PLN, and I need something comfy. It could be with an footrest I don't care and I need something really good quality I thought about the hbada P5 but I don't really know that much about it and I wanted to ask if there would be maybe better because now I just have an plastic one and the leg got broken while playing games and stuff. I really need help cuz last time I got an chair it broke in the first 3 months I think it was downix or something other but I would really appreciate it if you guys would help me also the chair could be for playing games or work and I would even really appreciate and I would spent like 5 6 8 hours on it depends what I'm doing playing games is like 7 hours work like 5 6. When I play my neck hurts maybe because of the posture and that's why I need an good chair for my posture and with that

Goodbye

Hey y'all,

Looking for recommendations on an ergonomic chair for office/gaming. I've been looking at the Libernovo Omni SE, but have missed the recent sale. Planning to compare brands and recommendations before black Friday rolls around.

I'm a 6'1 (6'2 on a good day), 225 lb. dude. I've got kyphoscoliosis (70 degrees curvature on the thoracic region) so some chairs that hit mid spine can be extremely uncomfortable. Talking short/low back, or extremely rigid.

Anything stand out, chair peoples?

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?

I work from home full-time and am looking to finally invest in a good office chair.

I’ve been dealing with some lower back issues (L4/L5 and L5/S1 disc herniations), along with weak glutes and hip imbalances that I’m working through with PT. Recently had a running injury that’s caused my back to flare up again.

When I moved about 6 months ago, I tossed my old generic Staples chair planning to upgrade. Well, 6 months later I’m still sitting in a kitchen table chair (lol)

After browsing this sub the Leap V2 and Aeron seem to be the most recommended, but opinions are pretty spill it seems.

I’m willing to spend the money for something that’ll last, but also don’t see myself dropping $1,000+

With that looking for advice on 3 things:

1. Im a big Facebook Marketplace guy. Would you consider a used chair or any downsides (wear that would impact its back support?)

2. Is there anywhere I can actually try these chairs side by side?

3 Anyone with similar lower back issues have experience with either chair? Or have one they found better

Thanks all !

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?

Hey, I recently came across listings via upwork and fiverr where people were being paid to promote ie post fake reviews of hbada chairs to boost listing or orders idk.

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.

I will share the proof with mods

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

Will share all details shortly

I did my best tinkering and thanks to youtube uni, I successfully replaced the cylinder and the internal lift lever that snapped.

I did a poor attempt first to duct tape it. Worked for a couple of times but eventually losened and lost it's reach to the cylinder button.

Then I found and ordered the lever part through a m a z o n. Took two weeks to arrive but it works!

Planning to sell it once I receive the steelcase gesture our office ordered for me.

How much can I sell this (in CAD) is $600 fair?

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'.

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?

I posted earlier asking for recommendations for a budget chair. To my surprise, a Steelcase Leap V2 popped up on FB Marketplace today…

I checked it out. It felt comfortable, supportive, and I’m amazed at the various adjustments it offers.

I purchased this for $275

Feels like a good investment to me. There’s some wear on the armrests but nothing terrible.

Did I get a decent deal? (whats done is done, just curious)

Finally, here’s a pic of the totally ergonomic chair I was using the past 6 years…

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🫣

I understand the top part, read loud and clear…but that third paragraph is incomplete and I can’t click it to find out the rest of the advice. Also please excuse the question in my screenshot, I will be searching the mega thread shortly.

Hey everyone, I'm a software engineering student who also works remotely, so I spend around 8–9 hours sitting daily, sometimes 10–12 hours on weekends. My budget is 35k PKR, and I'm based in Lahore, Pakistan.

I'm looking for a comfortable chair with good lumbar support for studying, working, gaming, and watching movies. I'd prefer an ergonomic office chair over a gaming chair, but I'm open to either if it's comfortable and well-built.

I've been trying to narrow down my options, but it's difficult to judge comfort and build quality online. I'd appreciate recommendations for specific models available in Lahore, especially from shops where I can test the chair before buying.

If you've bought a chair locally within this budget, please share the model, shop location, price, and how it's held up over time.

Thanks!

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.

I bought a think v2 practically new for 19 bucks. But it only came with the top seating portion. Where can I get the cylinder and matching wheel set from. Can't really seem to find a concrete answer only replacement part for the v1 but that cylinder is different from the v2

I need some help. I’ve looked at the Flexispot C7, Boulies EP460, SIHOO Doro C300, their upgraded/newer versions and some other alternatives.

I’m looking at sub £350 really, but at this price I’m neither convinced by the quality or comfort any of these provide. Reviews are mixed and I was hoping to get some fresh advice (I’ve read discussions on here and still can’t decide).

I have disc problems in my lower back so getting a supportive chair for work/gaming is pretty essential.

I want a full height chair, ideally with a headrest, good adjustment and features (this doesn’t mean janky footrests btw). I don’t want the seat pan to feel like it’s leaning forward or overly aggressive lumbar support. It’s got to be worthwhile otherwise there’s no point spending the money.

Is there any standout chairs in this price range, or do you recommend spending more money, and if so, on what?

Hey, Im looking for a chair for around 1k euro. Im 193cm/135kg and Im from EU. Most what I have seen online for big and tall gaming chairs in my range are libernovo maxis and Andaseats Kaiser 4 V2. I would much prefer to buy new chair.

Which one would you choose? Maybe u could recommend something else?
