Need a recommendation for a quality office chair

[Stu999]

Similar chairs to be honest. Aeron doesn't have adjustable seat edge. Aeron probably slightly better grade materials. Also aeron is mesh back, where the Mirra 2 is plastic. Although mine has the butterfly back upgrade which is like a mesh overlay on the back. Also arms adjust differently. I found a code and bought for £650.

I think some sites sell it for around this price anyway. Well working I think?

Thanks, I’m considering options for replacing my IKEA Markus. The only thing the Markus lacks that I’m missing is seat depth adjustment.

Is it just me who doesn't like arm rests on office chairs, because they get in the way of being tucked under the desk?

Any decent office chair will have quick adjust arms for just that reason.

Yep, the Mirra 2 has very adjustable arms. You can move them up and down, in and out, forwards and backwards.

I have a HM Embody which had adjustable arms. It's been great and was a freebie so can't complain!

Don’t suppose you’ve got the discount code? Had a look around and can’t seem to find any which work…

Steelcase Leap, although the prices are a lot higher now, i once picked one up off ebay for about £110 (1st gen) and £270 for a 2nd gen.

Extremely comfy chair, sorted out my back issues caused by the cheaper office chairs I was sitting on.

+1

Love it.

I got a Secret Labs chair to help with my back based in recommendations and tbh I'm so uncomfortable in it, worst few hundred pounds sent ever

Are you surprised?

Are you surprised?

No not at all I thought I'd just spend a couple hundred quid for a laugh mate.

What a ridiculous post.

Well you bought a gaming chair and expected it to be suitable for long term comfort?

Based on a couple of recommendations that friends have given me and also use long term, yes.

Is that really difficult to grasp?

Why would a chair, designed for 'gaming', which lets face it, lasts for several hours in most people's cases, not be presumed comfy?

"hey buy a chair, but it's only good for 20 minute bashes on Fortnite by the way".

Because it's one of the biggest marketing cons going. Any professional gamer using one and who says it's good is almost certainly being paid to say that. Most others use Herman Miller or similar.

Just ordered a brand new Mirra 2 with all the options for £650 delivered, happy with that

I went shopping for an Aeron and ended up with a Mirra 2. It's a great chair. Was able to get hard flooring friendly castors for it also which is a nice touch.

This.

If you want a comfortable ergonomically friendly chair then look to a brand who has actually invested the R&D into this area and have to perform in the rather heavily regulated Health and Safety world we live in.

Live and learn, good job I didn't buy it based on some random online person.

Herman Miller Aeron even if it’s a reconditioned one you’ll not find better

Really happy with my mirra 2, fantastic chair no doubt.

Glad you getting on well with it. They are more expensive than some but easy to recommend and will last a decade. Can't go wrong really. Warranty support is 1st rate .... should you ever need it.

How is the Mirra comfortable if it's got no cushy for your tushy? And back?

I suffer from really bad upper back pain, not lumbar pain but higher up, also get serious numb bum

Anyone solved either of these with a chair? I've tried loads now and all sorts of support cushions from Amazon and nothing works I'm at the point where I think I need to up my budget significantly
