Herman Miller Aeron

Top Pro

Mesh is cool (not hot)

Top Con

Default lumbar pad doesn't provide broad support

The default lumbar pad feels like a bar across your back and does not distribute support evenly. The posture fit add-on that does a better job providing broad support is build into the chair and cannot be added to one without it already. See More

Top Pro

Posturefit model promotes better posture

The posturefit add-on provides sacral support that promotes a better upright stance while not reclining, and reduces the need for reclining. This posture is particularly better for computer or desk work. It is important to note that although the posturefit add-on can be removed, it cannot be added to a chair that wasn't built for it.

HÅG Capisco

Top Pro

Benefits of saddle posture

The saddle posture, with legs spread apart and supported by the feet and buttocks only, supports good natural back posture and allows better blood flow than sitting with the thighs. See More

Top Con

No independent back tilt

The Capisco seat and back piece tilt together, rather than the seat staying level as in other top-end chairs. See More

Top Pro

Encourages movement

The Capisco's shaped seat and back piece are intended to support a variety of positions with minimum obstruction, encouraging both in-place movement and position changes throughout the day. See More

Top Con

Adjustment period

Because the saddle position exploits anatomy for natural support, it demands a certain amount of muscle tone. This develops naturally over a week or so, but can cause some discomfort in the meantime. See More

Steelcase Leap

Top Pro

Adjustable to nearly any body type

The Leap provides sufficient adjustability to fit all but the most extreme body shapes, and is tested to support 300 lbs. There is also a Leap Plus model which supports up to 500 lbs. See More

Top Con

Very firm seat

To some, the seat of the Leap is too firm for sustained comfort. See More
