I’ve sat in the Aerons and they are terrible! I couldn’t believe it…after hearing all of the hype and then I sit in one and it just feels like ass…save your dough and buy some gear or something else. I’m about to try out the yoga ball thing. Seems like a great idea.

Great article and loved the video treat. I have the Corrigo V3 and I can say it’s perfect for this type of work. It’s arms adjust up, down, out and off too! It’s really helped my back problems. I think it cost around £500-£600 and worth every penny.

I suppose in order of what I would deem important (taking price out of the picture)..

• Ergonomics (don’t want to cause any long term damage back there)
• Comfort
• Utility

I rate utility lower only because I would rather have an ergonomic, utilitarian chair that I could get used to rather than a comfortable, ergonomic chair which may be irritating to do anything on.

An important “feature” for me is the arms fit just under the desk. other wise you cant get close enough and end up over reaching. You need to roll yourself right up close so you can keep your back straight and elbows close.

Im looking for a new chair for work, currently exploring the “ergonomic” chairs. Maybe something like this http://www.corrigochairs.com (note the short arms that let you get right up close.

Yeah, you can tilt the arms out of the Aeron chair. Not completely out of the way, but they will tilt. I saw them on sale for around $550 which is not bad considering it’s the best chair I’ve ever worked in (although I’m sure it’s the lowest optioned chair for that price).

For me comfort is tops. I was lucky and grabbed a Knoll Sapper Executive off of craigslist on the cheap. That thing is the single most comortable chair my ass has ever had the pleasure of sitting in.
