Any giants here have experience with these chairs? I'm 6'3" and I love my mirra 2. I initially bought leap 2 but couldn't get used to it, maybe I'm too tall for it.

I’m 6’1 200lb and my Aeron size C is great. I should’ve gotten it pre-pandemic before prices went up.

I'm 6'8 200lb and live in the desert. The IKEA Markus has been the only option for years due to the height of the headrest and the mesh backing.

Thanks sexy tall goons! I ended up liberating a beat up Aeron from the office and replaced the cylinder with an extra long one and threw some sick rollerblade wheels on it. My feet are flat on the ground and my back doesn't hurt as much already. The weird mesh is also quite good at keeping my balls cool.

Herman Miller has a 25% off sale around November/December every year, don't pay full price if you can wait.

Even at full price it’s worth it for people sitting 8+ hours a day and there are numerous people attesting to that ITT. I just looked at the price of the Fern and yeah, for $500 difference I’d go with the one that’s been recommended and has a 12 year warranty, but ydy

After buying an Embody 18 or so months ago, my back has gone from random pains and occasional days of not being able to sit and work to having literally zero issues. It was 100% worth the money.

The thing about the Embody that this thread sometimes neglects is that it isn't the end all and be all of chairs. I never found mine comfortable, and have had better luck with the Gesture. I also kind of like the Humanscale freedom which only I seem to like.

I wouldn't hesitate to get a second hand embody for 600-800$ if money was short. The 12 year warranty on a new one does sort of make it worth it. Even if something happens to a used one there are spare parts available, HM actually stands by their stuff and even the early Embodys from offices seem in good shape.

i'll be real with y'all, the embody is a lot of hype i mean it's a great chair, and it's certainly a compelling upgrade from an officeworks special or some "as seen on twitch dot tv" gamer poo poo but there are a lot of other chairs that also fit that bill, that don't have the hype attached, and as a result cost less. try a variety and see what works best for you personally. (just stay away from anything that won't give you a serious warranty - if they won't warranty it it's almost certainly cheap junk, and you're better off getting an actually good chair secondhand). and honestly, a good chair that you can afford today is more valuable and better for you than a promise to yourself that you'll totally get a good chair next year when you can afford it, and in the meantime continuing to use some garbage

And on the warranty point, a chair that is sold on Amazon with a ten year warranty but requires shipping back to China effectively doesn't have a warranty. If the warranty isn't on-site service, shipping replacement parts for you to self-install, or a collection by the company without you having to find a box to put it in, then it's worthless.

I really wish the embody "clicked" for me when I had it. Something about the cushion just didn't really feel right, and felt like there was just too much money to risk sticking it out, doubly so when there's a lower adjust version that might be preferable. At this point I'd be very happy to drop that kind of money to have a chair I'm consistently comfortable in.

If you're not in a position to keep a chair for a decade it's totally reasonable to get a cheap one or even a medium expensive one. If you can see yourself keeping a chair for 10 years, sit in it all day, and can only barely afford an embody or similar high end chair it's still worth seriously considering. Going to physical therapy isn't cheap.

fat bossy gerbil posted:Do we like the steelcase series 1 around here? It's ok. It was a good improvement over my generic staples/office store chair that didn't really adjust to fit me well, but it leaves me kinda sore in the arse some days - ive had it for a fair amount of years now so maybe the cushion has just lost a bit of life. It might be an okay pick if you want something cheaper that you're only going to sit in for a few hours a day, but it sounds like you could do better, particularly if you plan to sit for most of the day.
