I spend a good bit of time in front of my computer as I work from home. I have gotten by for years with what I thought was a decent office chair. Dont even remember where I got it, but it has several adjustments...etc.
My wife for a while has been on me to get a nicer chair, noting that I slouch a lot trying to get comfortable. She compared my old chair to the father on frasier's old green one (It is black, but I was attached to it). Also since my spinal fracture and disk injuries a year ago, I have been struggling more sitting for long periods of time.
Anyway, I decided to look around and shop for a better chair. I settled on an industry standard. Herman Miller Aeron. Not a cheap chair by any means. There are fancier and more expensive ones, but the Aeron has been around for a long time and I could not find anything but positive feedback on it.
I took the plunge and am finishing my first week with my new chair. I have to say I like it MUCH more. I find I hold a posture much better. I seem a lot less 'stiff' getting up which I think is because I sit better in this new chair. I like to work with a slight recline position, and the chair has positive detents and stops as well as tension adjustments. I also got the adjustable 'butterfly' lumbar, which I am glad I went for.
Anyway....to anyone who sits at a desk, I have to say I am VERY happy and no regrets on this one!
