Ask HN: What chair do you use?

Currently I am using a cheapo Office Max chair I bought a few years ago (~$100)

I am looking at replacing it with an Autonomous.ai ErgoChair2 [1] within the next few weeks.

I work from home so buying a $1k+ chair isn't really feasible. For context, I am in my late 20's without major back problems so "cheaping out" is still a reasonable thing to do.

Ikea Poang with footstool. Laptop in lap. No desk. Mitigates pretty much all the ergonomics issues I've encountered over years of sitting at computers.

I think it works for me because of how easily I can redistribute my weight, adjust typing position, screen distance and angle, etc. Of course it also works because the high degree of control I have over my work environment. A luxury, no doubt.

Herman Miller Celle and SteelCase Leap (in storage). Just learned about the Celle and it's perfect. I recommend both if you have sciatica. You should be able to get both used and in really good condition.

Steelcase Leap. It is phenomenally better than any other chair I've ever had. (I sit in this chair wayyyyyy too many hours per day and the Leap has kept me uncrippled.)

I've had a good experience with the Aeron and Mirra 2 chairs by Herman Miller. Currently using both, as I work out of two different offices.

Both are pricey, but IMHO worth it.

Herman Miller Aeron at home. Whatever they give me at work.

I have a Herman Miller SAYL chairs and I hate it.

I have a $100 Amazon Basics Office Chair at home and its FAR more comfortable.

I've occasionally been using an exercise ball. Best part is stretching on it during breaks.

Herman Miller Aeron, one of the better investments I've made.

IKEA Malkolm. Seems like the best cost-effectiveness balance.

I use a Herman Miller Mirra 2. It's fantastic.

I don't have a chair at work. I stand up.
