Ask HN: What home or office chair are you using?
I've been using the same basic chair I bought at Staples when I was in grad school almost a decade ago. I'd like to upgrade to something really comfortable and supportive that I can sit in for several hours at a time. Good posture is really important to me so I'd like something that will help me when I start to slouch.
- Neliquat 10y ago1960's aluminum tanker task/computer chair with adjustable height and backrest. Fits perfect, stylish, keeps me sitting straight all day. Will outlast me without a doubt. Only issue is ocassional butt sweat from vinyl seat on hot days. Will never suffer a disposable 'office chair' again.
- koolba 10y agoLeather "Executive" office chair from Costco. Had it for about two years now and it still feels great, if anything the leather has gotten even softer from use. I think it was around $150-$200. I also have foot rest approximately parallel to the seat so that I can lean back and keep my feet elevated. Being able to lean back makes longer sessions much easier on the lower back. Either way it's best to take a break every hour or two though.

- brianjking 10y agoSteelcase Leap. Amazing chair, adjustable in just about every way imaginable. I like the mesh breathability of Herman Miller Aeron chairs, however, I'm about 135lbs and 5'9 and the Aeron often times felt too big for me.
