Steelcase Leap. Similar to the HM Aeron, but has cushion instead of mesh, and offers a bit more adjustment. It comes down to a matter of personal preference, but many prefer the comfort of the cushion. Personally, I sometimes sit with a leg crossed under me, or sideways in the chair, just because I like moving around, and the Leap is comfortable in all positions. Before I purchased it, I was having horrible wrist and shoulder pain, but it vanished once I swapped to the Leap. I've owned mine for a few years and it still looks pristine.
I also bought it on Craigslist for $200 brand new, which was quite a steal.
The Leap and Aeron are among the best in class, and it's hard to go wrong with either. Go to an office store and try both for yourself.
- ghostbrainalpha 7y agoMost Steelcase chairs are over $1,000 but Wallmart has the V2 for $400. I wonder if this model is as good as the others, or if it isn't really the same thing.
- pmh 7y agoYou're likely seeing that from a third-party seller, similar to Amazon's marketplace or ebay. At the least, I wouldn't expect the chair to be brand new at that price.
- thaumasiotes 7y agoI endorse the Leap 2 per my other comment in this thread.
- haldora 7y agoI love my Steelcase Leap! The cushion is very comfortable and is holding up well after a few years. I sit criss-cross and am able to easily do this with the Leap. The Aeron prevents this because of the hard plastic around the seat dug into my legs. I also got mine with the adjustable headrest, which is very nice for reclining. I basically live in my chair, so it was a solid investment.
