Which chair do you use?
As engineers, I now realise a good chair and a table is a must to protect our long term health. I mostly work from home and sit in front of my computer 10+ hours per day with breaks in between. These days I am getting backache as my current chair is falling apart. I wanted to know your opinions on buying an expensive chair and are they actually worth it. I shortlisted a few below:
- Herman Miller - Aeron (~Rs.1.2L)
- Steelcase - Leap or Gesture (~Rs.1L+)
- Haworth - Fern (Rs.~70k)
I wanted to know if anyone has bought these chairs (or have any other suggestions), have any long term experience with it, and are they actually worth the cost. TIA!

The one's you've mentioned are definitely way out of my budget, but surely they must be worth it.
I once spent around 20k on a chair when most folks in my circle wouldn't spend beyond 4k on a chair.
I consider that to be one of my best purchases. I could easily spend 10+ hours on them.
I am sure the one's you've shortlisted must be worth it.
If possible, go to store, experience them in-person and only then make a purchase.
I use Featherlite Liberate Game and it has been great for me
i have Herman Miller and steelcase at the office so got the same. Leap is the best chair in the world.
steelcase series 2 is good for the poor strata of tech
Featherlite 10-14k bring you calm and painless sleep
Have a featherlite Antom chair (costs ~10k)at home currently, which is decently good. They also have another chair called Helix, which is their top chair and is very good too ( costs 25k approx). You need to go to the store and check them out. Earlier, i had an urban ladder and a green soul chair, both of which weren't very ergonomic in reality.
Renting an office chair from RentoMojo for around 180 Rupees a month, and added my own cushion on top of the chair. Low cost and effective
