Ask HN: Have you found a good desk chair?
After years of crappy chairs, I finally invested in a Herman Miller Aeron at the start of lockdown.Due to lockdown restrictions I took a risk and ordered one without trying it first (knowing I had the return policy to fall back on).I was immediately disappointed with the comfort when it first arrived, and almost sent it back.  But I stuck with it for a few more days and found that once I'd adjusted to the chair, I now find it the most comfortable thing I've ever sat in.  I've since read that it's quite common to take a few days to adjust to a chair like this, where the ergonomics are very different (better) than cheaper chairs.I used to get various aches and pains after sitting in my cheap office chairs for a few hours (even with breaks in between), now I find that there is almost no upper limit for how long I can comfortably work in this chair.So yes it's f*king expensive, but I do highly recommend it.  A year on, I think it was a very good investment.BTW I highly recommend the Atlas Headrest for the Aeron - it looks 100% like a genuine original part and it really makes a big different to comfort (in my opinion).  The only downside is the headrest alone costs about the same as what I used to spend on "upper-range" office chairs from Staples.
