r/OfficeChairs

Hi everyone,

I'm currently looking for a new office chair I would spend quite some time on (working from home 3-4 days a week, plus some browsing/gaming in the evening usually). My current chair is okayish, but it doesn't have good lumbar support and feels a bit uncomfortable especially after sitting for a long time. Cushions don't really help, it just never feels quite right.

I saw the Hinomi Q2 and love the features: I love putting my feet up while being on the phone, currently I put them on the radiator next to the desk which feels really bad for my knees though because it's a bit too high and too far away, so I would love a foot rest on my chair. I have no space to put a separate footrest anywhere so that is not an option. I also love that the arm rests can be completely folded upwards 90° and out of the way because I sometimes like to sit cross legged on my chair, as well as play the guitar every once in a while. The adjustable lumbar support also looks nice. The sparse reviews for the chair model that I can find online are mixed.

Now there is also someone in my area selling a used Steelcase Please V2 in a good condition which has absolutely none of these features but everyone here keeps praising Steelcase and I wonder if it would be the more reasonable decision long term.

Any thoughts on this? Would really appreciate it!

Hey guys, anyone in Malaysia bought Herman Miller Aeron 2 from Pin Duoduo (拼多多） platform? They are selling it for approximately RM2k+ and the original price for an Herman Miller Aeron 2 cost about RM9k. I don’t know if it’s legit or fake. Any advice?

ok so I asked this like 2 years ago on here but the answer was removed by a mod. I hope this doesn't violate terms but I read the terms and I don't see how it can. There is this one chair that is generally accepted as the most padded office chair ever. It's big and blue and supposedly as comfortable as a couch. Does this description ring a bell for anyone? I don't even know if the chair is still in production, but I'd love to get my hands on one of them if possible. I originally found it mentioned in a chair review video but I can't find it now. Any help would be much appreciated!

SIHOO M18 Ergonomic Office Chair vs Staples Hyken Ergonomic Mesh Swivel Task Chair, similar price, I’m a student on a budget prioritizing lumbar support/comfort over everything, open to recommendations in that similar price range!

so I’m in the market for a new chair. for context I sit in my chair for about 6 hours a day but the chair I currently have is like some gaming chair thats deadass falling apart. also i mostly play games and do schoolwork. Im looking at the hbada p3 pro and it looks pretty promising for under $140 which is my budget. If you guys have any recommendations, pls lmk

I'm trying to get a refurbished Leap V2 and am weighing the pros and cons of these two dealers right now. Crandall is a bit more expensive, but seems like the fabric might be a better quality? Can anybody speak to the quality of both brand's refurbs?

I got a secret lab titan evo xl about 2 months ago and I absolutely hate it. hard as a rock, I've tried 2 different seating pads, pillows, you name it and it's literally worse than sitting on concrete. what have you guys gotten for a secret lab chair or other chair that helps with comfort? literally creating lower back pain using this thing and I can't return it or sell it most likely

To be honest i cant tell if this is the classic or the remastered Aeron, does anyone know for sure?

According to the seller:

"The chairs have been completely refurbished, meaning:

• New armrests
• New casters
• Repainted base
• Gas lift oiled or replaced

The chairs are "Fully Loaded," featuring the maximum specifications and all available functions. They have been fully tested, are in perfect working order, and the lumbar pad is included."

Hello everyone! As a proud owner of an old Mirra I stumbled upon an offer on a popular marketplace advertising a 'Forward Tilt Upgrade' for my chair. The picture shows a tiny plastic lever, most likely 3d printed. Has anyone ever used this upgrade? Is it really all it takes?

Office chair less than 2 years old, it is a True Innovations Mesh Office Chair from Costco. The chair has wobble at the gas lift, is this normal for being under 2 years old?

Hi there!

I’ve always used whatever cheap office chair I could get from IKEA, but now that I’m in my 30s, I’m starting to feel back pain when sitting for too long. I’d like to find a good quality chair on a budget, so I’m planning to buy second-hand.

Ideally, I’m hoping to find deals from people selling office chairs without realizing their actual value, like the posts I’ve seen here where people score Herman Miller chairs for under $100.

My question is: what are the main chair models I should learn to recognize in online listings? So far, the only one I’ve consistently seen mentioned is the Herman Miller Aeron, but I imagine there must be a “top 5” or so of commonly recommended models worth looking out for.

If it helps, I live in Norway, and I’m about 175 cm tall and weigh 100 kg.

Thanks! 🙂
