Thank you all for the no fluff content. You all are a dying breed.

@@MAGAMAN Just because you had a terrible experience with the Leap v2, doesn't mean it's crappy and overpriced. Stop dealing in absolutes, especially when you haven't even tried out all the best high end chairs on the market.
@@ironictoaster I am pretty sure Haworth has an EU web-shop. Steelcase is very much present. Only HM seems kinda sketchy in Europe, jacking up prices significantly, selling gaming Embody in just 2 countries etc.
I wish BTOD would make videos where they give us an overview of the actual quality of materials used in these chairs. What sort of plastic-grades? Types of metal? What differs in manufacturing of a Steelcase than a Haworth? What sorts of quality control measures make each company stand out? These are the Tour De Force of chairs out there, would be neat to give some insight on what truly makes them "good quality".
@@YoureNotSoSmartBro I've come to relalize that almost every office chair review/ranking video on here is just an ad for the brands. Especially when you start digging and it looks like most of the brands that people make videos about are just resellers of generic chairs.
@@BathroomTile Yep. Exactly. I bought a 200 dollar chair that they downplayed a bunch and didn't even review. They just kinda said it was a chair. Then pointed out the problems. I know it's not the best chair but it's the oline mesh chair. I love it. They made a whole video about how Forbes just gets paid to sell chairs and they are different. Then I pointed out how they are no different and the curly dark haired guy argued with me in the comments and wanted to act like he was somehow morally superior to Forbes? Make that make sense. I pointed out everything hypocritical about what he was saying then insulted his intelligence a bunch. My reply to him was disappeared. They're whole channel is just one big ad.
After a few years of scouring the market, I pulled the trigger on a HM Embody late last year, and I have zero regrets. It's great for posture and support, but the recline system, flexibility, and the fact that there are no hard edges anywhere on the seat or backrest also make it a great chair for when I want to throw posture out the window and be a slouchy half-cross-legged gremlin. I'm also pretty short at 5'6", and I was easily able to set it up to be super comfortable for me, which was a major concern while I was shopping. They can be found for ~$1400 during sale seasons.
Might have to check out the Embody as well. I’m also 5’6 and have had the Leap V2 for about a year now and unfortunately “comfortable” is not a the word I would use to describe my experience thus far. Would be interested in hearing if you’ve had any other ergo chairs or if there’s any other besides the Embody that you would recommend
A note on the Ticova: I bought one of these in late 2020. I spend a lot of time at my desk as I work from home. I'm 6'3" and have found it to be rather comfortable, but I never could get the headrest to be comfortable for me. It always pushed my head a little bit forward and caused neck pain. I have a size 8 head, so that's a lot of weight lol. Because of this, I usually had the head rest removed and only used it if I was reclining and watching something. ALSO-- as of about a month ago, so right at 3 years of use, the arm rests started rapidly cracking and deteriorating, hence why I'm here, to find something better.
@@JT-tz1ef I bet lol. I was going to keep mine around, but the whole back mechanism broke real quick after the deterioration started. I went with the Herman Miller Embody, which is ridiculously expensive, but it's a tax writeoff so whatever. They did impress me though-- the chair ships fully assembled.
Haworth is an AMAZING company. I visited their headquarters, met many leaders, and got to see their innovation lab, seat lab, quality lab and manufacturing lines. Hands down, I was extremely impressed by everything I saw!
I bought the Haworth Fern brand new at sgd 800. It’s with the normal mesh, plastic frame, no lumbar, no headrest but with forward tilt and comes in all black. Very happy with the purchase. Just recently ordered the HM aeron atlas headrest (vegan leather) with Fern adapter at sgd300. Much cheaper and no brainer compared to the embody priced at sgd2.6k, aeron at 1.7k and gesture 1.9k (after discount)..
Been sitting in my Ticova for the past week and I agree with BTOD, it's a really sturdy comfortable chair. At first I was skeptical because it's amongst dozens of other same-looking Chinese made chairs. But it's honestly a surprisingly comfy chair, it just feels really supportive. It took a couple days to really understand it before the comfort settled in from its very pronounced lumbar support. I got it on sale on Amazon for $140 after taxes.
I ordered one as well a few days ago, thanks to BTOD's recommendations. I'm excited to try it out once it ships. I was similarly skeptical, glad it's working out for you.
It's not bad for the money and certainly an improvement over most ultra budget chairs but it's definitely a fit or not type of chair. I am 5'10" and 190 lbs and could never get the lumbar to hit comfortably and the seat was just too firm and shallow so it became uncomfortable for me after a few hours. The base also did not allow it to roll smoothly on hardwood so that's another thing that was a deal breaker for me. I ordered two different ones to see if it was just a one off issue but the second one I got had an even worse fit for the lumbar that was too high up and aggressive so that tells me the build consistency isn't great on these either. Just a PSA for those with a similar build to me and are considering this chair.
My interest in Ticova is triggered too. My question is which Ticova is it? There are 3 on Amazon now, to me they look identical, all 3 have a list price of $300 but 2 of them are being sold for about $140 and the other one is being sold at full retail of $300. Is there a model # for one one that you like? Thanks!
@@Ed_Mann I bought mine for $140 and it seems like it's the same exact one as the $300 version. I think Ticova doesn't understand how Amazon works for selling products.
I'm 6'2 and think I'm slightly to tall and heavy for this chair, it's not replaceable worthy or anything however long periods in the seat and my butt is a asleep which is annoying and the headrest I thought I would use mainly just gets in the way if anything. It's a good chair on the whole but probably more comfortable for smaller people.
Haworth just had a summer sale in Europe. Got the basic Fern with 4D armrests (no digital knit, headrest or lumbar, and only in black color) for "just" 1000 USD (converted) with sales tax. The other chair I considered, Herman Miller (non-gaming) Embody, is over 2000 USD with sales takes. HM has gone overboard with pricing in my country...
Sitting in my Fern right now and hopefully this will be the last week I sit in it, going to get rid of it and get an Embody, I just can't get along with this chair. If the Embody doesn't work out I am going to look for a deal on a Gunlocke Washington. My Leap V1 is so much more comfortable than my Fern.
I got the ticova and i love it, eventually want to upgrade to a haworth fern but may pivot and try the eurotech vera and hand this ticova down to my brother
One of these days, you boys should let us teach you how to score chairs from with an orthopedic perspective. Spine support is more crucial and important than you realize, and the chairs you like to pick are actually very bad for spine health. We'd be happy to share some of our scoring criteria with you if you ever want to add some spine-science to your review process. Uprightly Spine Care is founded on 40 years of spine research and clinical application. Thanks for creating the good content.
Greetings Experts - @:52, I’m encouraged that you added Ticova, and I’m confused because there are now 3 Ticova models being sold, and all of them match the general description you’ve given. Perhaps most is “$300 but now sometimes discounted as low as $150.” Ticova has a new offering which is being sold at $300 and 2 others which are now marked down to @$150 from $300.00. All 3 chairs look identical to me. Am I missing something, and/or can you add some detailed spec? Thanks very much and thank you for your presentations.
I recently purchased an EMBODY is it is the BEST. After sitting in my leather chair of 25 years, the EMBODY is so much more comfortable, flexible, soft yet firm enough to support me even as I move.
Any recommendations for under $300 retractable arm/flip up/'move out of the way' chairs ? I need something that can get really close to my desk since I almost always use my desk as arm rests
I recently got my hands on a Herman Miller Embody as well 2nd hand for a deal, my previous chair was a workpro quantum 9000 w/ headrest. There's a lot of things I like about that chair over the embody but being a mesh chair vs the embody they each have their pro's and cons. You can find the Workpro quantum 9000 w/ headrest around the $300 once a year (believe I got mine from a lenovo sale years ago), it is a great chair for the price, normally it'll run $520 which at that point may be a bit over priced (I do like it better than the Aeron classic).
Why is actually "Bioswing" from Haider not on your list? I feel like Bioswing with its movement technology is one of the best in the market. Are they not available in the US?
How do you guys feel about the fern seat cushion? I’m 6’2 and I’ve got the digital knit with lumbar support and I’m having some sciatic pain from sitting in the chair maybe I’m sitting too far back on the chair which is causing some discomfort in my lower back and glutes
Hey guys, I know the Eurotech Vera has a different back, but is everything else entirely exactly like the Union & Scale Ayalon, because it sure looks like it, and tbh it kinda has a hard feeling seat
I love this review and you guys are great! I went to find a Zody II under 1000.00 and I cannot find it or the Zody at Haworth under that with zero extras. I really want the Zody II any suggestions? I don't need the tilt forward. Thank you for what you do! I am willing to pay an upgrade to select different fabric options.
I'm stuck between choosing a Haworth Fern (no additional lumbar support) for $990 or a Herman Miller Aeron Graphite Posture Fit for about $1055 in which is refurbished to make it as good as new. I'd very much appreciate if any of you guys could help me out on which one to choose.
I have a question regarding Leap. Are there any Leap with different seat and back color? I have found bunch of Leaps that look very nice and clean. Though the seats are orange and backa are black. Anyone knows why?
A great chair should have a full armrest, but I don't disagree the fern seems to be one of the best chairs out there, the best I have seen is one called Saxton, cost $500 with full armrest, super plush cushions, leather, not sure if it's still available for sale, have not been able to find this particular model.
What's the amount of time you usually spend sitting on the chair to review them? I've seen most reviews of other people mention sitting less than 4 hours in them. How would you rank them in terms of heat? I'm trying to find a good cool chair since I sit on mine around 10 hours and even from just 2~4 hours I'm already sweating. From the tips on Robert's video about mesh chairs I'm considering a padded seat, but I'd have to find one which doesn't heat too much or cools quickly.
It adds a massage-like feel to the back that makes it SO much more comfortable. It also just looks nicer. If you're not able to get it, I'd still go plain but as always test it before you buy it if possible.
Hi, could you guys please do an updated video for best ergo office chair for really tall people (6'6"-6'9")? Some recent recommendations would really be wonderful. Thank you guys a lot for your coverage, it's really helpful
Ticvoa chair had a defective seat as it always tilted to the left, forcing the user to reposition their spine. Customer support did nothing to help other than a $20 refund but this chair is almost unusable for someone for long periods of time (unless you want your back to hurt). This was within 4 months of having it. It is a shame because other tha this massive issue, I think it would have been a good chair. Customer support ruined it for me.
@ 5:05 , please what is the name of the guy that is speaking ? I like how he decided to switch it up with the Zody 2 suggestion. I want to see more of his videos , or if he has social media. Who knew choosing the right chair to be able to work long hours was this extensive. Hello from Miami, FL.
Unfortunately I’ve read a lot of bad review on the ticova, mainly about the bad construction quality: after a couple of years broken pieces and defective gas cylinder. I guess it’s what you get for the price
Bought the Ticova, horribly uncomfortable. Over aggressive lumbar support, the armrest are tilted outwards so my arms keeps sliding of and tilt way to weak.
@@wrxzboost I'm in Japan and I don't more than half the chairs in the video on Amazon, and the ones I see are impossibly expensive because they're imported. You can't tell me the Japanese work too little.
Oh man, I can't tell you how HAPPY I am to find this video review. I thought I had to drop 1300+ for a Haworth, but now can't wait to give the Vera a try. I'm 6-3 in need of a slightly higher seat than normal, plus solid lumbar. Any further ideas welcomed! Also what does 'S tier' and 'A tier' mean exactly?
Can you do a review of chairs that are around 20" x 20" width and depth, I need a comfortable well built computer/desk chair with adjustable arms and a small foot print.
The embody is super comfortable... UNLESS you cross your legs (or just one leg) on your chair. The front corners are hard and unpadded and they hurt your legs. Fine for an office. Not good for a gaming setup.
Prices even used are so high for disabled seniors. My main chair/bed is a beast chair. Unfortunately my office/gaming chair is a $50 wal mart zero gravity patio chair. I like to game. Would kill for any used quality chair with my disabilities are way more than a bad back. If anyone wants to gift a crippled old man I'm not picky
Guys love your reviews if you have extra chair to donate to a senior handicapped guy I’ll. Take any chair you guys can donate… obviously Steelcase preferred but I’ll take Anything Fred Kapp Los Alamos Ca My handicap requires lots of sitting and semi lay down can’t straighten legs to lay completely flat.Can only stand and walk about 5 minutes with a chair that can recline can only sit shorter periods. Guys do a mitzvah these holidays you’ll feel good and so will I thx for your time
It's a little tough to look through your videos since it's so unorganized. It would be good if you timestamped your videos and perhaps had a conclusion at the end with all the recommended chairs.
Because all the best chairs don't have headrests and I would rather use a top tier chair with no headrest than a decent chair with a headrest. And truthfully, we don't need headrests on chairs, unless it's something like a lazyboy where you are just sitting watching something half asleep. -Ryan
@@btodtv i mean maybe its just me because im 6'4 but i definitely like to lay back from hour to hour in between work at my wfh setup and be able to rest on the chair with all my back and head... Thanks for the reply !

I would recommend avoiding Ticova. Their reclining function broke after 6 months, and reading the reviews, I'm not the only one.
I've had the Fern for two years now and I'm happy that I won't have to buy another chair ever again!

What headrest did you have on the leap at 6:09 ??
didn't know greg is Matt Damon's doppelganger.
Love the reviews, guys. Shout out to Robert who helped me with my decision to purchase an Aeron Remastered. Love it!
How important is the digital knit fabric of the fern to its placing? We don’t have that option in Australia, sadly.
It adds a massage-like feel to the back that makes it SO much more comfortable. It also just looks nicer. If you're not able to get it, I'd still go plain but as always test it before you buy it if possible.
I have the leather Fern and I don’t like it. I tried to trade someone with an Embody for it.

Weird to see the Aeron so rarely in your videos. What are you thoughts on it currently?
I didn’t see my chair on there. Where does the Random Yoga Ball I Found In The Attic rank?
I don't think people only hate the Embody arms for the lack of adjustments, but also how for fragile they are
This video helped me so much
For me the highest con of the Haworth Soji is not having reclining stops which to me made it unusable 😢
What's your standing desk?
what is a good chair for thoracic support?
Ticvoa chair had a defective seat as it always tilted to the left, forcing the user to reposition their spine. Customer support did nothing to help other than a $20 refund but this chair is almost unusable for someone for long periods of time (unless you want your back to hurt). This was within 4 months of having it. It is a shame because other tha this massive issue, I think it would have been a good chair. Customer support ruined it for me.
What is the green chair on the right @3:54?
Okay, but it should be criminal to charge outrageous prices for a chair that has a short life. Therefor,e the prices I see nowadays are shameful.
@ 5:05 , please what is the name of the guy that is speaking ? I like how he decided to switch it up with the Zody 2 suggestion. I want to see more of his videos , or if he has social media. Who knew choosing the right chair to be able to work long hours was this extensive. Hello from Miami, FL.
I would love to see info on chairs with massage or heat
Where would you put the "LAMIA" on this list? (the chair that is not a chair) is it just the perfect chair?
It's at the end of the vid when they go over "no budget' chairs
Oh boy! BTOD at 4 AM!
Hey guys, have you ever tried the Kokuyo ING chair or maybe any Okamura product. I don't see reviews from japanese brands here.
did you guys ever considered a Interstuhl ??
Hate to brag, but I'm working with no budget at the moment.
Yep, zero whole dollars in my budget.
Unfortunately I’ve read a lot of bad review on the ticova, mainly about the bad construction quality: after a couple of years broken pieces and defective gas cylinder. I guess it’s what you get for the price
i'm returning mine because of the hard plastic lumbar support, it just feels bad at every height and depth setting i try
Bought the Ticova, horribly uncomfortable. Over aggressive lumbar support, the armrest are tilted outwards so my arms keeps sliding of and tilt way to weak.
Why are almost none of the popular office chairs available in Europe ?
europeans take too much holiday to warrant nice office chairs
@@wrxzboost I'm in Japan and I don't more than half the chairs in the video on Amazon, and the ones I see are impossibly expensive because they're imported.
You can't tell me the Japanese work too little.
@@fluttzkrieg4392 japan is not europe dummy
What about best big and tall for under $400
All these chairs run narrow. Around 20.5 inches. What's a more wider option? Something closer to 22
x chair has some that are 22 inches wide.
Oh man, I can't tell you how HAPPY I am to find this video review. I thought I had to drop 1300+ for a Haworth, but now can't wait to give the Vera a try.
I'm 6-3 in need of a slightly higher seat than normal, plus solid lumbar. Any further ideas welcomed!
Also what does 'S tier' and 'A tier' mean exactly?
Hello. Do you ship to Norway ?
Listing how many hours long would also be informative
Haworth Fern is on sale. Can get lumbar with digital knit for under 1500
all herman miller is on sale too
@@wrxzboost not all, only office product. I want to buy a gaming embody, which is not on sale. so sad
Have you had a chance to look at the ASUS ROG Destrier?
the ticova did me dirty
the seat broke on me, because it is made from wood
bear that in mind, if you are a bit on the heavier side
I was trying to find any of the Chairs under 500 usd in the EU market but no luck. EU Vera 900 +usd, Soji cannot be found. Shame
Can you do a review of chairs that are around 20" x 20" width and depth, I need a comfortable well built computer/desk chair with adjustable arms and a small foot print.
Would love to see a review of the Hinomi H1 Pro. User reviews are concerning compaired to the content on RUclips about the chair. Seems a bit fishy
I can't find a Zody II for under $1,000 let alone under $1,700?
christ, some of these chairs are more than my car.. i think i'm picking up the NEWTRAL MagicH
The embody is super comfortable... UNLESS you cross your legs (or just one leg) on your chair. The front corners are hard and unpadded and they hurt your legs. Fine for an office. Not good for a gaming setup.
Is this the best pick of "mesh chairs" or "office chairs"?
Office. -Ryan
would appreciate to hear some meters and kilos in the video, but thx anyuway
Y'all really need to look a bit more at the scandinavian chairs like flokk
Prices even used are so high for disabled seniors. My main chair/bed is a beast chair. Unfortunately my office/gaming chair is a $50 wal mart zero gravity patio chair. I like to game. Would kill for any used quality chair with my disabilities are way more than a bad back. If anyone wants to gift a crippled old man I'm not picky
Tldw; not a lot of change from last time
Ryan VS Greg
Haworth fan boy vs Steelcase fan boy😂
Its funny how nobody ever picks the Aeron as their "everyday driver". Why is that?
Guys love your reviews if you have extra chair to donate to a senior handicapped guy I’ll. Take any chair you guys can donate… obviously Steelcase preferred but I’ll take Anything Fred Kapp Los Alamos Ca My handicap requires lots of sitting and semi lay down can’t straighten legs to lay completely flat.Can only stand and walk about 5 minutes with a chair that can recline can only sit shorter periods. Guys do a mitzvah these holidays you’ll feel good and so will I thx for your time
Man, I'm 6'7, so I still don't know if I should spend any amount of money on a fancy chair lol
$300 is the low? Nah that is high end. I am looking at like MAX $120. I got my Staples Hyken for $110 7 years ago, LOVE this chair.
At that price point mesh is of a very poor quality.
You only realise how bad mesh is on budget chairs when you come across the Aeron.
It's a little tough to look through your videos since it's so unorganized. It would be good if you timestamped your videos and perhaps had a conclusion at the end with all the recommended chairs.
how can you guys use and choose chairs with no headrest/neck support ? i cant imagine paying 500 dollars for a chair that does not offer a headrest
Because all the best chairs don't have headrests and I would rather use a top tier chair with no headrest than a decent chair with a headrest. And truthfully, we don't need headrests on chairs, unless it's something like a lazyboy where you are just sitting watching something half asleep. -Ryan
@@btodtv i mean maybe its just me because im 6'4 but i definitely like to lay back from hour to hour in between work at my wfh setup and be able to rest on the chair with all my back and head...
Thanks for the reply !
i'm just trying to figure out where the fuck these dudes are finding Tacova's for $300. in australia they cost $650-$800
Australian, Canadian, and US dollars have different inflation rates, import costs and different dollars.
@@mallardofmodernia8092 i know that, $300 american is $456 australian dollars. still doesn't explain that it's more than double the price here
If you guys have an Embody just lying around that you aren't using, I'll buy it off you cheap...awesome chair just way out if my wallets range.
Am I the only one who hears a crackling on the audio every time he speaks? Seems like the gain was poorly adjusted. Shame because its great content but the audio makes it quite unenjoyable to digest, especially in headphones
the Vera is $984
Where are you located? -Ryan
Watching this video broke got me extremely angry, I am struggling to make a dollar when some rich fuck is dropping 4k on a chair. I will come back to this video and comment the day I can afford this chair.
theses talking about 1k chair like its casual money
For some folks, it is...plus for those who sit alllll day, it's a necessity, like a car.
I have never seen anything like this in my country 🤣wtfffffffffffffffffff
Ticova is no longer $150. That's probably back in 2021. (According to the link posted)
I literally got it for $130 about a month ago off Amazon
I just got one for 109 dollars. I think they list a few for different prices hoping someone will pay more.
actually 110€ on amazon
