I've sat in Aerons for a few years across various jobs and they were always just OK - I felt like they could have been great if I could just adjust a few more things to fit my body better.
When it came time to get a "real" office chair for the home office I decided to go with the Steelcase Leap[1] and I have not regretted it. I had no idea a chair could fit me this well. Everything is adjustable and actually labeled - it's like they actually thought about how people use chairs.
The biggest problem with having a chair as good as the Leap to sit in 90% of the time is the other 10% of the time where I'm somewhere with a terrible generic office chair - I can feel it in my back and legs within a few hours.
Everyone is different but I really can't recommend enough at least trying out the leap.

- ajford 10y agoHow's the Leap with heat retention? I've found that most solid backed (and seated, though less so) chairs I've used annoy me with how much they hold heat in. I find mesh backed chairs to seem more comfortable to me in that regards since they have much more airflow against my back.

I've generally had the same experience and bought a mesh-backed chair for myself years ago. I was even looking at mesh seating, though the chair I was eyeing apparently doesn't hold up long term.
- jsonau 10y agoYea your assumption is right. What's worst is I have to put a tshirt on my back so my sweat won't transfer to the fabric-back.
