Got an office brand chair called a coolmesh pro and it's the most comfortable chair I've ever sat in. Previously had a hard padding mid back office chair that was causing me a lot of back pain
I saw the 2020 review, why the ergohuman dropped from 82/100 of 2019 to 72/100 in 2020 in your scores (from 1' position to no top ten), what changed? Thanks in advance
I bought a HM Aeron chair and had to return it. At the end of the day, my back was in so much pain, I couldn't use it. Now I have no idea what to try. I want to give the Leap or Amia a shot but I don't want to keep buying and returning chairs until I find the right one.
Hi guys, Great reviews... Would you mind to give me advice: which high back ergonomic chair with headrest (and maybe footrest as well) for tall person like me - 6,4ft . Thanks in advance :)
I’m a music teacher and need the arms to tuck away or remove. Do you know what models do that? I know the aeron does I wish this were covered in this great review. Thanks
Got a stand up desk last year,but my knees end up hurting after awhile. I also just bought a kneeling chair yesterday but wasn't impressed. I still felt the lower back pain and sciatica even though it straightened my back up. I wish I could find a true solution that's affordable.
Thank you so much for this video..I'm suffering with severe low back and mid spine pain these days. Diagnoised as sacroliitis. Are these chairs available in India online too ? Is it good to purchase online or to physically go sit n purchase ?
You're welcome. Thank you for watching! If the option exists, it's not a bad idea to check out chairs in person if you have a specific back issue you're trying to resolve -GK
i have pain from my t3 all the way to my s1. finding a chair that doesnt hurt my back or my tailbone is hard. if i could turn my journeys car seat into a chair for my office i would.
What about for tall and heavier individuals? I'm 6'3" and around 275lbs currently, and I need a chair that offers really solid lower lumbar support for an 8-10 workday. I would also like a headrest, but not one that forces your head forward automatically in a reclined position. I was looking at the Office Master Truly chair with headrest initially because it seems like a good deal compared to the far more expensive options by SteelCase and Herman Miller, but it's hard to commit to the purchase without having an opportunity to sit in these chairs first. As a tall person, every office chair I've ever had has been woefully inadequate either regarding comfort or build quality.
I have issues with one of my legs so I’m unable to bend more than 45 degrees so it always hangs in away that makes most chairs very painful to sit in for over 20-30 minutes. Any recommendations? Please help. Thank you 😊
That can be tough to solve with a traditional office chair. You may need to look at some of the options that include leg rests. Some of those options will offer different angles to rest your legs. We haven't taken a deep dive into that type of product, so unfortunately I wouldn't have any good suggestions for a specific brand or product -GK
If you guys actually divide this as % of your salary, you'll find it's most like only 1 to 2% on average for your health. Go buy it. It's for life. Stop wasting money on other things
I just bough me a sit stand desk. Last weeks i'm having issues with my lower back even tho i do exercises to prevent them. So i'm thinking about buying a Aeron by HM but can't pull the trigger on it.
I can attest to the lower back support of the Leap. I've suffered from lower back pain for a while and since using the Leap for work my back pain is gone. Once in a while, when I start feeling tension in my lower back I just lean backwards and the back of the chair flexes and pushes out in the perfect way to stretch out my back. Best purchase in a while! 😌 (Also you can get them at half price refurbed from BTOD or Crandall)
Hello. What would you recommend for me ( i had herniated disc surgery ). While these chairs are good none of them are avaible to buy in my country so maybe you could tell me what should i look for in a chair that best suits my needs. Thank you
Hey, I want to buy the ergohuman but you guys on your recent tier list put it in the C tier... But that was the mesh version, is the leather any better? I dont want to spend a grand on something thats a C tier. Is it durable? Will it last me years and years if hypothetically there was no warranty? Thank you if you get the time to respond!
tier lists are helpful but in the end they are based on personal preferences of comfort. it's very important that you try the chairs and see what is good for you specifically. e.g. some people are fanatics of aeron's comfort but one of the guys was putting it into lowest tier because it was uncomfortable for him. with that being said, the leather will have its pros and cons, it will be much less breathable just to name one. i'd suggest you to find a dealer in your area and try them out. best of luck
I was considering that Ergohuman LE9ERG, but then discovered that the 'leather' is actually bonded leather, which is a definite deal breaker. You would think that for the price you would be getting genuine leather, not something that will dry out, crack apart and disintegrate after a few years.
The Gesture is our second ranked office chair for 2021. It just isn't great for lower back support. The back is a bit flat and the lumbar is pronounced -GK
Hey so ive been having this back pain for almost a month, is it better to get office chair or gaming chair? I weigh 90+kg so if anyone can help me with that. Thank you
Don't take a gaming chair is like throwing money through the window. They offer little to no back support. I wanted to buy one before I discovered ergonomic chairs
Guys, thanks for all of the great videos. My interest, however, lies in the tall guy in vids. I am same height and build with arthritis in my neck and back pain. I am an Art Director and designer and spend many hours at my desk, like I mentioned, I am tall not wide. What would he prefer?
This is Robert the "tall guy" in the video. Personally I love the Humanscale Freedom. I'm not an ergonomics expert, but I can speak from my own experience. I'm the digital media guy here so I spend a lot of time editing at my desk. I love that I can recline in my freedom and have the headrest support my neck while keeping my head in position to see my monitors. We are spoiled with a lot of options to sit in here, so I have also spent a lot of time in the Remastered Herman Miller Aeron. The adjustable height and tension lumbar is great if you want to choose where you get some extra support. Thanks for subscribing! -RG
Sorry to hear that. I can imagine that is hard to deal with. Hopefully you will be able to find a solution and be able to move around better in the future -GK
dont have backpain at all on my kitchen chair played games on years on it, and after one session on the pc chair my back hates me.... i do a lotta sports as well but that pc chair is evil.. my only guess its that it is harder and good argonomics for my back..
You are looking for a forward seat tilt function. One of the more unique options comes on the Neutral Posture 8000 series chair. It will allow you to adjust how much forward seat tilt you want. It also has an independent back angle adjustment for additional support when seated in the forward position -GK
My work got new office chairs from Steelcase and they are horrible. The lumbar support is to low and it has no headrest. I looked up the chair and its about $600!! I need support for doing up-right work.
I guess there is no such thing as a sub $500 chair that is good for your back? Almost every single (all but one) is over $1000, with some over $1500 ... ha, very affordable! : |

Thanks for watching! - GK
Funny how what actually causes lower back pain is the stress that won't let you lean back and enjoy the ergonomics of these chairs...
what chair you suggest?
Got an office brand chair called a coolmesh pro and it's the most comfortable chair I've ever sat in. Previously had a hard padding mid back office chair that was causing me a lot of back pain
Is it good

You’re in the exact position as I am. What did you end up getting? I’m 6’4 270lbs.
I highly recommend getting a commod chair !
very informative
Glad you think so! -GK
Thanks for the review
these are good
I think our chairs are also very high quality

Slam what is the price of LE9ERG Chair? And is the warranty available? please tell me
I need a chair that provides back support but also I work leaning forward?
How is the HM sayl in this category ?
I figured that last chair would be expensive but not 750 dollars. Holy crap.
Do the duorest chair
The embody didn’t make the list? Seems a little surprising.
It didn't rank well for lower back pain out of the chairs available for testing in our office -GK
wish u put in prices !
Thank you for the feedback. We plan to include prices in future videos -GK
Wow, who can afford these? Got any suggestions for affordable price ranges for home offices?

That can be tough to diagnose in comments. Have you asked your physician? That would be my best suggestion -GK
Hey if someone has back pain on the lower part of the back, what kind of chair helps ease the pain? Help!
That can be tough to diagnose without additional details. If you're looking for a lot of lower support, the Ergohuman LE9ERG is hard to beat -GK

Leap V2 is not good if you are over 5' 9". The lumbar will not hit where it needs to support. Just my experience.
is that the leap v1 or v2 at number 4?

The seat cushions on these chairs look like they're going to let you fall off.
Does any of your chairs have the ability to incline towards the front a little bit?

Who leans back like that when working at their computer all day? Also, what is the point of armrests? They just get in the way.
I’m here cause I fell for the gaming chair gimmick. All it did was give me lower back pain and I had to see a chiropractor. And im 22.
Why do they all recline back by themselves??? I’m working I need to be STRAIGHT!
you can always limit it. they are just demonstrating
who back is aching why they are here
I been suffering for about 11 years. It sucks.
@@Seekingtruth-mx3ur I was working from home (not now) realized my chair was killing me. but yeah I need to exercise too before things go south.
