Buy a used aeron chair, you won't regret it. Don't cheap out on something you'll be sitting on 8+ hours a day. Don't trust random Amazon brands.

like

My bet, which will likely mirror others, is on Herman Miller. There is a store in NYC which lets you try out each of the models and the Aeron was easily the best chair I’ve ever sat in. Friends and I probably spent 2 hours “resting” there before moving onto the next location.

Some things stay hyped for good reasons, and in this case that is the HM aeron. You can find them for sale on fb marketplace or furniture stores, i got mine used for $400.

It looks like the Aeron is the only way to go! I’m looking at eBay, Size B, for 642.55 after tax/shipping. Huge discount from buying new and its supposedly just an open box item. I found the stool version which sounds nice for when my desk is standing height, but I couldn’t find one with the dynamic posture support — only the lumbar bar
