High Quality Ergonomic Chairs

[cmak]

I've been doing a bit of research to find the most comfortable, ergonomic, and some-what affordable chair. So far it seems that they do run from $500 -$2000. Just wanted to see if forum users have any themselves. Input, feedback, and pix would be much appreciated Here are some I have found

cmak, here's a previous discussion on chairs that might be helpful.

I'm saving my pennies for one of these... (Herman Miller's Aeron Chair)

Thanks Justin for the link. Should have done a search. BTW, which did u end up getting the Embody or the Aeron? Also what brand zero-gravity chair do u have? I saw ur avatar pic E46 or E90/2 M3? They must have some nice ergonomic seats eh?

Hi cmak. I haven't purchased a chair yet. I'll have to check the name on my "zero-gravity" chair. About the BMW M3 badge in my avatar--I don't have an M3...yet.

Kneeling chairs aren't too bad, bought one a few days ago. Most of the 'ergonomic' ones are overpriced overengineered rubbish. Just get a straight back and a lumbar roll.

Fitballs aren't too good imo for sitting, moving surface imparts more load to the spine, making it work harder. Good for training, not sitting.

Also, I got a free zero gravity recliner with my house. It's called the 'floor'.

Regarding ergo chairs and zero gravity recliners. If I may, Hooch, you sound distinctly like someone who's never owned or used either one.

As someone with cervical and lumbar issues working on a second degree with 3 to 4 hours of reading a night, in addition to my online research, I assure you my zero gravity recliner is far from using the 'floor'.

I find it sound practice to actually use an ergonomic chair before declaring them useless to others

I've used an ergonomic chair for 10 years for the very reason a chair isn't just a chair. You'll find a few million people sitting at computer terminals for a living who would likely have a different view as well, if you attempted to trade their ergo chair for a standard one. If "a chair is a chair" I tend to think the thousands of the budget minded companies who furnish their employees with ergo chairs would go with the $50 chair as opposed to the $500.

I find it hard to spend that much on a chair as well. Now, if it had a built in beer cooler.....

My "zero-gravity" chair is made by Human Touch and it's called the Perfect Chair. Here's a link to their website: Perfect Chair Zero-Gravity Recliners by Human Touch

The chair is pretty ugly IMO, but I was sold after I sat in one after my lumbar discogram in 2003.

Thanks all for the input. Justin, I just checked one out at my local furniture dealer. They are awesome. They only have the motorized ones and they start at $2200 with the microfiber suede, $2800 for the premium leather. Do u remember how much u paid for yours?
