Morning All,

I am looking for some feedback from Mirra 2 owners. I am about to push the button on a new chair and whittled it down from the Aeron and Embody to the Mirra 2.

I'm 6ft4 and 230lbs/103 kgs approx

The Mirra 2 I am looking at is the one with the butterfly back support.

What are people's thought's?
 
IM hoping to have a solid chair to reinforce my better habits as my steelcase cause by back to hurt after some time.

Its available with the butterfly back for £520 from their outlet so wondering about this or an aeron c or embody
 
@Bubo much appreciated. Yeah my backside does not appreciate the current chair. Im reassured by what you said as Im not a lunger, looking for something to support my posture the right way.

Glad to hear youve had so long out of it!
 
So, after a few days' use with my Mirra 2 I thought I would share some comments. The context the chair replaces a SteelCase Leap v2. And I am 193 cms tall and approx 102kgs in weight

I bought form their outlet and the experience was flawless. Arrived 48 hrs later at 0800 hrs in a sturdy box and inside the chair was enclosed in plastic sheeting. It looks absolutely brand new. I cannot see a single scratch, mark or anything on it.

The chair I bought was the Mirra 2, in white/urban orange and fully adjustable.

From the minute I sat in it I could tell this was 'The One' for me. My concerns beforehand about back rest height were unfounded as despite being tall/lon the back rest i just right. The butterfly lumbar support is easily adjusted and not too intrusive.

The seat pan is spot on despite having long legs and thus sitting wide. The front lip of the chair can be adjusted down/up so as not to dig into the underside of your legs.

Recling back in the chair is just bliss, its smooth and reassuring with the right amount of tension.

The arms were another area I was concerned about. But in practice they work brilliantly.

There was no manual included but a 2 sec search online got me that.

I'm not done adjusting it yet but so far, the seating position is not just amazing comfortable but my back pain after a few hours at the desk is already much much better. I absolutely love the mesh
 
How is the base on this chair? Everyone focuses in reviews on how seats (in general) support their back but no one seems to mention butt comfort lol. I'm in a gaming chair for most of the day and have to sit on a cushion (not good). I like the look of the Mirra 2 chair but it seems to have very little padding. How does it perform?

I find the base really good. The mesh flexes and the front lip can be adjusted up or down to suit so it doesnt dig into your thighs. Depending on how tall or wide you are there is different mileage but I am 6ft5 with long legs and its nice and comfortable. I bought in winter but I expect in the summer the mesh will be even copmfier as it allow your butt to breathe
