Finding a comfy chair got to be a bit of an expensive obsession, ended up going through a lot of them, including things like the Aeron and Steelcase Leap 2 before ending up with a ErgoHuman Plus which is tolerable when used with a layer of padding over the back. By the end of the search, I came to the concluson that for extended comfort: 1) Unless specifically designed for it, chairs with mesh seats are best avoided if you are bigger than the average person (say 90 kg + ), as the mesh distorts too much causing the frames to dig in (Aeron had this problem). 2) The chair must allow the spine to move easily while still offering support: - Back reclines separately from the Seat. - Back's lumbar support is not solid, but instead has plenty of flex and give in it (where both Aeron and Leap fell down). 3) Trying them in stores is a waste of time as a plank is comfy for five minutes. If an extended test is not possible, then the best bet is to look for one that works for someone with the same physique as yourself.
