Is there a real difference between a $150 and $1,500 office chair? Want to prevent myself herniating my discs but also get something sustainable and built to last.

I’ve had Aerons since the early 2000s and have from time to time tried other chairs. Nothing come close in my opinion. Got them for everyone at the office.

I mean think about it! You spend more time in your chair than you do doing just about anything else, including sleeping. Plus the good chairs are nearly indestructible. It’s a no brainer and not the thing to skimp on. Your body will thank you.

Yes. It’s not linear though. If you spend $300-$600 you can get a quality chair [look at Autonomous]

Any advice to break this vicious cycle?
