ergonomic chairs mesh v leather / fabric

[Raggs]

Looking at getting a proper ergonomic chair i note the aeron millers are mesh the steelcase ones are not never tried a mesh chair other than the ikea marcus , that has a mesh back only obviously not in the same league as a miller. seen a few cheaper makes wave ergonomics and Ergo Dynamic about £400 is two would have to be 2nd hand for a miller/ steelcase

just wondering what are peoples experiences are mesh ones more comfortable ? i like the look of mesh chairs but comfort is paramount can't seem to find any showrooms around yorkshire to go and try some out and buying on-line is a big punt when your talking £400 + for a chair all we have around here is staples.

Good thing about fabric is that it can be replaced and refurbished much more easily, buying something like a Steelcase is a long term purchase.

I use a Herman Miller Aeron for 8 - 10 hours per day and I have a herniated disk at the base of my spine. Never get back ache or feel uncomfortable in it. From an ergo point of view, it's the best office chair that I have ever used and the only one that didn't give me back ache after prolonged use. Best £800 that I have spent.
