I'm a self admitted chair-o-holic.
I have personally owned an Aaron, Embody, Steelcase Leather Leap.
In a nutshell, I found the Aeron the most uncomfortable chair of just about every office chair I've had the pleasure of sitting in personally and at work. It was the right size and it was fully loaded with every top option. I gladly and quickly sold it.
The Steelcase (Leather) Leap is probably my favorite. The Embody is a close though. The Leap I have is leather, so it's very easy to keep clean. The best part about the leap though is not only is the build quality top notch and feels like a tank (and weighs it), is how configurable it is. The sweetest part though is that instead of rocking back like probably most chairs, it actually reclines keeping your rear end in the same place. It's excessively comfortable.
All my friends ended up getting a Leap after trying mine. I got the embody out of curiosity, again I topped it out with every option to make sure it was the best model. It's far superior to the Aeron for me and close to the Leap in terms of comfort, but I do think the Leap wins, especially for longer days or when you just have one-of-those-days.
At work, I had a Mirra, it was pretty nice also, which looking at it, surprised me. Much better than the Aeron in my opinion for just pure comfort. I've had a number of there chairs, from the $50 Staples specials to other big brands. The Leap and Embody are still by far my two favorites.
I kept the Embody and Leap because I couldn't part with either. I let my dad swap back and forth with me since he is now retired and does a lot of Ham Radio contests now sitting at his desk.
Anytime any asks about office chairs and the mention of Aeron comes up though (what would be an office chair discussion without the Aeron mentioned?), I always think of this: https://dack.com/misc/aeron.html https://dack.com/misc/aeron.html
