ultimate office computer chair

[madoka]

I tried the Aeron and I thought it was ok, but looked a bit ghetto. I recently put down a deposit for this badboy in all black:

Mine should arrive in 2-4 weeks. I was much more impressed with the feel of this chair. Anybody have any long term experience with this chair?

[OMGWTFBBQ]

I just checked out that chair, i really liked it. Have you received it yet? If so, how is it?

Also, has anyone tried out Steelcase's Leap or Think chairs? Or the nightingale CXO?

Any opinions on these chairs will help me a great deal.

Thanks!

I bought a chair at Office Max that is awesome. And cheap. It's a Sealy. Yeah, the mattress people.

I've been known to sit here for 12+ hours at a time thanks to homework/gaming, and it puts up with me.

Nope, haven't received it yet. I never thought of buying a $2,000 chair before, but I did like it when I tried it. Couldn't find any reviews of the chair, so I had to take a leap of faith.

You can go to any Relax the Back store and try it out. Virtually the entire thing is cushioned out of that Tempur Pedic type material. Then you get to pick the fabric and color combinations. I think there is a no questions asked return policy as well if you don't like it the first couple of weeks. The whole thing is guaranteed for life, except for the fabric, unless you pick the premium leather.

Well...if your gonna spend $1000+ on an iMac, I would expect you would be sitting infront of it for a long time....wouldn't it simply make sence that the chair is just as important as having the iMac

Sheesh, talk about looking "a bit ghetto!" That chair may be comfortable to sit in but really is not the most attractive I've ever seen. Thanks, I'll stick with my Aeron!

[Sesshi]

Very 'Dell XPS'

I might at the outside want that in a computer but not in a chair

I'll stick to my RHs

Yeah, that's an unfortunate color combination they picked. I'm assuming they did that to show how you can customize it to your liking. When I ordered mine, they went through different books of swatches to let me pick the combo I liked. I went with the normal black. I'll take pics if people are interested when I get the chair.

i have the allsteel #19. I think its great although my computer setup would be considered unorthodox.

Ultimate:
Steelcase Leap
Humanscale Freedom

I’ve got the Humanscale Freedom in the UK—it’s very comfortable, and definitely better for my posture than the ‘back chair’ I previously had: one of those rolling chairs ones with no back, where you kneel forward onto a lower ‘shelf’ (for want of a better word). I think those particular chairs are probably better if you’re not as tall as I (6'3").

I ordered my Humanscale Freedom chair through compuhealth.co.uk: I originally contacted Humanscale direct, and they put me in touch with the dealer. I had a happy experience ordering over the phone, and the chair then took about five weeks to be made in their factory in Ireland and shipped to me.

Well, this is a five year later reply so hopefully those of you who posted about the Lifeform still have this as a subscription. I'm considering one of those chairs, but I had a bad experience with the CXO. The CXR chair is also made out of memory foam, but memory foam started breaking down after about one year of heavy use and went from being a very comfortable all-day chair to being one that you can only sit in for a few hours at a time.

Given that, I'm a little bit concerned about buying any chair that is also padded from memory foam, but I do have to say that the Lifeform chair seems like an entirely different animal than the CXO chair.

Hi,
I've been looking at the lifeform chair. Out of interest how have you liked it 5-6 years on? Thanks!

AMAZING chair, but that's my two cents.
