Counterpoint - I’ve had multiple experiences in furniture buying where I think a chair or couch is comfortable in the store, only to dislike it once I take it home and sit on it for a long time.
Meanwhile, when I got my Aeron, I didn’t like it for the first few days, and even thought about sending it back. But now that I’ve adjusted to it, I love it, and I can confidently say it’s the most comfortable office chair I’ve ever tried.
It’s hard to evaluate comfort in a short period. Ergonomics is all about support, and I personally find that something that is more firm and maybe less comfortable on my first try is actually more comfortable in the long haul.
It’s hard to turn this into concrete advice, other than that you probably want to just make sure there is a good return policy for whatever you buy, and to make sure you buy a product with a good reputation.
- xvector 5y agoI agree that it takes time to properly evaluate a chair, but doing so in a showroom as opposed to repeatedly ordering and returning from an online store will save you a lot of time and effort.
