I just broke down and finally bought a Herman Miller Aeron and now I wish I’d done it sooner. I work from home and it makes a huge difference when the chair you sit in for 8+ hours a day is ergonomic. Aeron’s are known for being super expensive but you can actually get used one’s in great condition for a decent price. I used http://www.aerondeals.com to find mine and it worked out great!

I never heard of the Leapchair until now. It looks pretty great. There is a high end furniture complex in Berlin called Stillwerk and next time I am “having coffee” there I will look for the Leap and give it a sit. Not a great shot of my Aeron but you can see where it sits in my studio (center!):

I’ve had a bad back and have been in search of a great ergonomic chair for both guitar playing and studio use. I went with a Aeron chair for quite a while Until I tried the LeapChair. I gotta say the Leap Chair really makes the Aeron look like a “nice first attempt”. The Leap is MUCH more adjustable, is more sturdy and just supports your body much more completely than the Aeron. Seriously, if you want to do ergonomics in your studio right, check out the Leap chair.

It’s not the only great one out there, but it most surely has a lot over the Aeron. Yes; Ergonomic chairs are REMARKABLY expensive!!!! The Leap is about $1200. Yeah. But, it is one of those investments that you make once and you look back at and say “why oh why didn’t I do this long long ago”.

My suggestion is keep your eyes out for companies that are liquidating their office furniture as they go out of business - that’s a great place to get deals on ergonomic chairs of all makes….

Wow, I hear nothing but good things about these chairs, except the price. I checked out “sitforless.com”, which I hear advertised on my local public radio station, and their prices were the same. $1000 US for a chair. Whew.

I have to say, it’s hard for me to put down that kind of money for an office chair, but it is on my wish list.

I purchased an Aeron chair from http://www.OfficeDesigns.com about four years ago following my back surgery. The chair’s ergonomic design allowed me to continue working my normal hours pain free. And I was so impressed with the service at http://www.OfficeDesigns.com that when I purchased a second Aeron for my partner we went there first. With their wide selection I was able to find the chair with all the ptions I needed very easily, and they had it in stock to ship the same day.
