Same issue at a previous office. They spent a lot of money on Herman Miller chairs to much complaining about how it was a waste of money and they’re not even comfortable.
And they complainers were right insofar as I never sat down in the chair and went “damn this is comfortable”.
But that was also the first time in my life by hour 5 or 6 nothing was _uncomfortable_. Body felt fine, nothing was sweaty, everything was still just… fine. I felt the same as when I sat down.
And that’s pretty much been my goal for chairs since. Anything that can make the unnatural act of sitting upright in one place for a third or more of my day not _hurt_ is a good piece of equipment.
I’ve tried other cheaper chairs since. Some sufficed for a while, some sufficed until I got older. Finally but the bullet and got a Mirra and everything’s been great since.
