Hey all,
Looking at a computer chair.
I've come from a 2020 secret lab omega to a 2022 secret lab titan.
Now I can't sit longer than 1 hour before starting to feel highly uncomfortable and leg/back pain.
Question is.
What ergo chairs are the way to go at the 1k price point.
The herman Miller is out of the question for me.
I've looked at
Neuechair
ONEX GTDV10E
Ergo human v2 elite
Steelcase (no delivery option to sa)
Whats people's reccomendations? I'm 180cms and 80kgs.
Pros and cons
Cheers
Congratulations. You now understand that a chair that requires additional pillows to put you into a correct position is a bad chair.
First off - do not buy any chair that is not AFRDI endorsed (meaning it complies with AS/NZS 4438).
Secondly - your list of chairs is not good either. Unless you are buying highend Steelcase they are not worth it. Neue is just another Secretlab brand, and while they are better there is still the problem of a company that sold you two chairs that are not fit for anyone to sit on.
The best options for you:
Serati Pro @ $1100ish: https://seated.com.au/product/serati-high-back-chair-with-he… - just one of the resellers, I can suggest other resellers closer to you. Make sure you get the 'Pro Synchro' mechanism - it's worth the extra $50. Don't be tempted by the cheapest price on this chair as you will get the non-Pro mechanism. Also has pneumatic lumbar adjustment which is rare at the price.
Ranger Pro @ $800ish: https://www.badbacks.com.au/ranger-heavy-duty-chair - just one reseller. It's designed as a control center chair with 24x7 use. Tough as nails and will last, good for tall/heavy people.
RH New Logic 220 @ $2200: https://seated.com.au/product/rh-new-logic-220-executive-cha… - This is what I have with a back back and horrible posture. Mine is a full custom build with XL seat and non-standard upholstery. Comes with headrest but no armrests at this price. Best chair on the market, even comparing to Herman Miller (good chairs but the lack of headrest an issue for me). Has the same type of mechanism as the Serati Pro, making that a bargain.
I have recommended the Serati to others here, those that purchased it absolutely love it. Recommend that you get out and try some in person.
