I wanna get a new chair. One that is ergonomic and is comforting. Trying before buying is not an option. Ultimately came to three chairs (best to worst)

1. Herman Miller Embody around $1229 too expensive
2. Herman Miller Aeron around $729.00
3. Dxracer F or D-series around $350

aeron chair review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07JUVoOLudM
dxracer chair review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3Dz5SDQQus


I am critical on these points: Aeron overpriced, which is fine if it is freaking good. Dxracer, does it have lumbar support? Dxracer has really good reviews + my friend says it is freaking good, but it isn't very adjustable as the other.

If anyone has tried either of them LMK!

Dxracer is only as popular as it is is bc of gaming streams. From what I've heard they aren't even as comfortable as regular office chairs from staples. How long are sitting everyday? And where will it be located? At home or office etc

Yes exactly why I am skeptical. But the reviews it has gotten are insanely good everywhere + my friend loves it.

Home for me and I will use it for many hours.

Focus on your posture and any chair you use can be ergonomic with a few easy changes,

this. I use a $100 chair from staples and suits me well. I couldn't justify $400 for a chair even if I sit in it multiple hours of the day.

If its for home tho just buy a lazyboy recliner that spins lol.

aeron blows for tall ppl. no upper back support.

also, no neck support on aeron is shit for me.

my favorite chair is this one (WITH THE HEAD REST):

the back rest is huge, perfect for a tall person and its adjustable up and down.

I'm 5'8, I think it said in a review it sucked for tall people. But I guess it should be fine for me.
