I spent a few months evaluating a few of these chairs after I started feeling pressure points in my legs. My pain is gone, but no chair will ever replace stretching every hour or so. Here are my short reviews:
Herman Miller Embody: The chair I like the best and bought for around ~$850 here http://www.businessinteriors.ca/ http://www.businessinteriors.ca/. More details about the deal here: http://forums.redflagdeals.com/herman-miller-embody-841-a-1145523/ http://forums.redflagdeals.com/herman-miller-embody-841-a-11.... Everything about the chair is adjustable, which I think is very important for many reasons. People tend to shift sitting positions after a while, one size never fits all and the chair must adjust to fit the table. The full mesh construction and deep recline are also important if you are sitting for long periods of time.
Herman Miller Aeron: Only tried this in the store for a few hours. Very comfortable. Same pros as the Embody except for the full back support and a few adjustable features like seat length, which was important for me because of my leg pain.
IKEA Markus: I've heard good things about this, but I had to return it after sitting on it for 2 weeks. My leg pains got worse and I suspect that is because the seat was too hard and long for me. The price was right, but the lack of adjustable features meant it was no good for me. Also, why make the back out of mesh, but not the seat? Our butts are where we feel most of the pressure.
Humanscale Freedom Chair: Only sat on it for a few minutes. I felt they might have compromised on comfort to build an easy to use chair. The lack of mesh also makes me sceptical that I could use it for long periods of time.
tl;dr: The most comfortable chairs that fixed my pressure points were fully adjustable, were completely constructed out of mesh and had a deep recline.
