I like that you recognize that some people like to sit on chairs in non standard fashion. I wish more chairs had armrests that could be moved back and out of the way when I do such things. I watched this video with my left side against the seat back.
Ooooo I've got just the chair for you! It'll be a couple weeks before I can review it, but you can see a sneak peak (it's the one in the middle) in my upcoming video. It drops in 28 minutes!
Such a great video. Most of these office chair videos only target people of regular heights, so I really appreciate the fact you made a video for us at the ends of the spectrum
@@o.s.h.4613 I don't seat like that I see what you saying. On my Aeron I use a cushion on top of the seat. as I don't find it comfy for me without and when I do it I can cross the legs as it clears the plastic.I bought some thick foam and used a cover from a Ikea cushion, a big one.
I subscribed because your videos are always professional. Thumbs up. I got the information I needed. Wish I found your channel earlier. Recently bought Sihoo Doro c300 and Dexley Ergonomic Mesh Swivel Task Chair. Returned them because they made me feel uncomfortable. Still looking for a comfortable chair for both coding and gaming. Suprised to see the Hyken in your video. Because I have exact the same one at home for my family. That is truly comfortable and unbeatable in that price range.
As someone 6'6, I've tried the Aeron C Remastered, Gesture, and Embody. The Embody was the clear winner to me. The Gesture seat depth, when extending it to max depth, still sucks. The sides of the seat on the Aeron bother me, and I'm not a fan of mesh backs to begin with. The Embody seat depth where it pulls out is sweet music to my legs. The back support is just better than the Aeron to me as well.
Great to know! I've heard taller guys struggle with the Embody for not getting enough upper back support! Check out my video on the sneak peaks at the Embody headrest - should make the chair MUCH better. I got to play with it a little and it was freaking so comfortable
@@Ahnestly Is this headrest still in the works, if so do you think it'll start selling in the next 2-4 months? Are there any custom made Steelcase headrests you would recommend?
I recently got the Mirra 2, and whilst I've managed to stop getting thigh pain from it, I think the seat depth is not long enough for me. So I'll be exchanging it for an Aeron size C and hopefully that will be all I need.
I bought a Haworth Fern about a month ago and it has been amazing. I am really not sure why Haworth isn't talked about as much as other chair companies. Super underrated chair and is cheaper then Herman Miller. You should check it out!
I was in the land of Haworth (Michigan) but unfortunately, the guys I met with didn't know Haworth as well as brands such as Herman Miller and Steelcase. I'm going to try and pick up a Fern here soon
@@frumpd63 hard disagree. I'm 6'2 and love the Fern. MAYBE if you're like uber tall like 6'5+ but at that point I'd argue not many chairs will fit you well anyway
As someone who is on the shorter side (5'4), but stupidly proportioned, and having tried many of these chairs, unfortunately by buying and returning them, I've tried all the secretlab chairs, the aeron, unknown brands and more,my last two are the gesture and embody, hoping the additional seat depth adjustments help. Genuinely really helpful video though which appeals to likely the vast majority of consumers.
Sitting in general isn’t good for your posture! As long as you’re comfortable and getting out and exercising/stretching to reduce the effects of sitting, you’re golden!
@@Ahnestly True true! Hmm I do like to sit in my current chair Indian-style, but after watching your videos seems like you can't do that in an Aeron. So if I go for an Aeron I think I'll have to give up sitting that way in a chair. P.S. I also use a kneeling chair, and stand throughout the day - but towards the end of the day I get tired and I just want a chair. lol
This being said we're buying a new office and need chairs but are still in a budget, I'll look at the mfavour full mesh, needing to buy about 30 chairs seems like a good deal until we can afford high-tier! Thanks for that! If I do so I'll hit you up to get an amazon link from you so you get a cut from the few bucks we'll spend.
Woah woah even I watch Doug demuro and I don’t even know cars and I wish I could be as good as he is! That’s some really high praise, thank you so much! And yeah if you ever decide to buy, let me know! You can email me at ahntouragemedia@gmail.com if you want to do a short video session to ask any questions you have!
Your review is spot on buddy I have the titan and I’m 5’6’’ and its absolutely horrible on my lower legs! Thanks for getting it right for us short folk!
I just got my Herman Miller Sayl gaming and LOVE it. I work from home and it is perfect for my needs. I only wish the arm side to side adjustment would lock into place, but it's not a big deal for me. I always sit all the way up to my desk and the arm rests just go under the desk. It's more when I'm lounging watching some videos that I notice and it's not that big a deal. Other than that it is surprising how supportive the back feels considering it has no lumbar adjustment. I'd give it a 9/10
@@itzjustkris7964 $700 with a slight discount they were running a couple of months ago. I know the price is steep, but when you spend most of your day on a chair that's one area I decided I shouldn't skimp out. Before that I was on a $40 amazon chair that had been broken for months
@@gabrielfernandez4897 that’s still too much imo…I’m probably gonna just get a secretlab 2022 evo they are only 500 and seem really nice …besides I want a chair that doesn’t stop at my shoulders and charge another 100+ for a head rest
@@itzjustkris7964 oh I completely understand. You might want to look at the Razer chair as well. I've read some good things about it and it's also that gamery bucket style
I tryed out a lot of 2k office chairs a few weeks ago and I felt in love with kloeber connex 2. Armrest is the only contra point but rest is heaven. My back pain went away after 2-3 days and I can finally sit for 8h a day again
Something to Note on the Embody... The Seat itself is VERY firm... The back support is otherworldly, but I'm too heavy I guess, I bought it and resold it after 2 weeks. It hurt my butt too much to sit on
I have ordered a Steelcase Gesture a few days ago. Glad to see your recommendation for it for bigger folks. Interestingly the Gesture costs 930€ for the version with arm and head rests here in germany. Thats the final price with taxes and shipping included.
Can confirm just ordered one for 945€ with headrest and aluminium legs. Though I only got this price by ordering a model that is "take as it is", so not configurable. Configuring it yourself you will be a good amount above 1000€. Economie of Scale by the german resellers probably makes this possible
I'm exactly 5'6, and the seat depth of my "gaming" chair has been one of it's biggest issues for me since I got it. Even when using multiple pillows to create somewhat of a lower back support, eventually I always end up sliding forward and putting more pressure on my feet/knees while bending my lower back and pressing my forearms against the desk surface.
Hey! I'm 156cm (About 5ft1) and love the Lino chair by Herman Miller. The smaller aeron was another option. A cheaper option would be the staples Hyken, but there are less possible adjustments.
Staples Hyken owner here. On point with the cheaper feeling of everything. But it works! Can't complain. The Secret Lab Neue would be what I get as a replacement based on your recommendation, unless I can find an affordable Aeron.....
This is the Ash color for the titan evo 2022! Check out my sizing guide for details on what size you should pick up! Please consider using my link if you decide to pick up!
Ur right about the Aeron. It solved my back issues also. But I can’t sit in the aeron long term especially if I’m doing something active like being on laptop or gaming. I find my butt sliding forward if I’m not consciously thinking about my posture. It’s good to lean back and let it “catch” me for few hours. If I sit straight up my butt just slides forward. I use it to “catch” me while I’m watching tv or sports game relaxing. I keep it on the side to keep my back healthy. I use the steelcase leap for my daily use
I've been binging chair videos for a week now lol, and went to a store to test out the Herman Miller chairs today. Aeron remastered, Embody, Mirra, Cosm. At 5'7" 160lbs I gave Aeron #1 and Cosm mid-back #2. I wasn't a fan of the Embody or Mirra. Gonna pull the trigger on an Aeron remastered soon.
@@lukechristian8371 They were both pretty stiff. Especially the Mirra. I ended up buying the Aeron. After owning the Aeron for a couple months now I'd say don't count out the Embody. It's more spacious and probably better for everyday casual use, whereas the Aeron is more task oriented.
So, since I like sitting in weird shapes, I'm not a rich biotch, used embody locally doesn't exist, used aerons are 800$, pretty much the only thing that won't bite me if I yeet my feet on the seat is Titan, correct?
Where's " NobleChair" I've been using mine for 4-5 years now and I haven't got any issue unlike my friends that already changes for 2-3 times already, only recently I've been seeing some wear and tears but not issue since I plan to grab another Noblechair this coming black friday
What’s the best budget chair for a college student? After doing some research, the IKEA Markus looks to be my best bet at $200 and a 10 year warranty. However, the nearest IKEA is several hours away with no shipping options and the chair isn’t even in stock there at the moment…
Some points about the Neue from a 5'10" guy with a bad back: The lumbar support is aggressive AF. It is not comfortable for long sessions at all, it feels like someone is holding a foot to your back. The area above the lumbar does not really get support, as the mesh is kind of loose there. The armrests are massive. You cannot set them to desk height without pushing yourself away from the desk. Moving them up also moves them forward, which worsens the issue. As the controls are integrated into the armrests (and the mounting system is non-standard), you can't even replace them or take them off. Butt mesh: there is a small sweet spot in which I feel comfortable, but I wish the seat pan was a bit longer. I added a wooden plate below it and squished some cut foam in there to make it more comfortable, but it still does not feel like the pressure is distributed evenly. Probably fine for as a casual office chair, but I wouldn't use it for longer than 8h a day. At least it's better than my previous DX Racer1 haha Where can I buy core workout motivation?
Try to reduce the lumbar (you can push it in or "deflate" it). I thought when you extend it out, it was really really aggressive. Also, core workout motivation = find a partner to be intimate with...and be intimate a lot... :-D
Ha that's great...watched a bunch of videos /read articles/reviews of a bunch of chairs yesterday and ended up getting the HM aeron , now this morning I see your video....lol owell guess I'm still watching 🤷
Which MFavour Ergonomic model is that one? the Amazon link you posted shows a bunch of similary named yet slightly different models and so does their website, it's difficult to distinguish one fron the other.
I checked every link on this video and every single one has too high shipping or the wrong chair like mfavour ergonomic the seat is leather the height adjustment handle in the wrong place.
Someone’s selling the Staples Hyken for $100 near me. He said it’s been used lightly for one year. Should I go for it? I’m a 21M 5’10” college student.
Just finished a week long trial of Aeron chairs. I'm 5'11" and tldr Aeron isn't working. The B size doesn't support my back properly and the C size cuts into my thighs. Just buyer beware for people on the cutoff range in height like myself.
I’m a little shocked to see your statement about the Secret Lab Titan sizing guide, I just ordered the 2022 Titan Regular. Im nearly 5’8 in height and weigh 210lbs, I seem to be between small/regular according to your recommendation. I thought I needed XL just because the website says 220lb+ to get XL!
The office chair mid-tier for taller people you suggested: 1) used HM Aeron (unable to buy at my location) and 2) Sidiz T80 (also unable to buy at my location). Could you suggest an additional, third option?
Hm I haven't found that many as of yet...some taller guys liked the Matchspel from Ikea, but that's more budget. I would say if you can find a refurbished Steelcase Gesture, that would come into the mid-tier price range!
@Dan, Hi! just saw this video. Quick ? for you, as I'm in the position of purchasing a new chair. Would you recommend a new Lab Neue, or used HM Aeron? Almost seem that cost would be about the same.
OK, looking for a chair for our son for a college graduation gift. He plays games like League of Legends and he is IT Tech support so he works and games on his computer. Would I go for a gaming chair or the HM office chair????
I think he would be MUCH happier with a HM chair from both a brand perspective and because I would say HM is a better fit for like 70% of people whereas a gaming chair would be smaller for like 30-40% of people! If you do decide to pick up, please consider using my link as it helps this channel a LOT! Also, if you're in the US, HM is having a 15% off sale but not sure when it'll end!
Am 6’5’ btw and I have the Herman Miller Embody but I am too heavy above 400lbs muscles and fat and legs are wide so ye, I have 1 week and then I can send it back and get cash back so SecretLab Titan XL or Dxracer Tank for me?
Oof I don't know...I would say a lot of people I've had over really liked the Titan Evo, but dont have the dxracer tank to compare. It's difficult for a man your size though...may not find a good fit anywhere. Pay close attention to what the wings and leg area looks like - if protrudes too far, i recommend the one with the lesser "protrusion"! If it ends up being the Titan Evo, please consider using my links as it helps this channel a LOT!!!
I ordered a 2022 small, im only 5'7 around 70kg. The neure looks good, but $200 more with the headrest. Also I live in a cold climate so the fabric will be nice. Will let you know what I think of the small :) My 8yo cheap chair broke last week, and annoyingly it is making my back sore as it wobble a fair bit lol. Nice vid
So I've been using the chair for 4 days now, it is very good quality and was easy to put together, great seat length, my knees can bend and my feet can touch the ground!! Very customisable which is awesome. I think the cushion is too thick, as is pushes my head too far forward. The magnetic arm rests are good but magnets could be stronger, I've pulled them off a couple of times now.
@@roamingnurses8785 I'm considering the evo small too; 171 cm / 5'6+ . What about the space between the seat front and the inner knee ? How is it going after 7 months ?
@@rahpat01 it's been very good, loving the adjustability (recline in a boring meeting lol). I actually had to get the back replaced as the lumbar support was broken and loud when I moved. The support was easy, just had to send a video and then they sent out a new one!
I bought the secretlab titan evo 2022 small after watching your previous reviews lol, Anyway I can agree that the seat depth is a bit too long [ 5'3, 120 lbs ], but my solution [aside from being an ergonomics rebel haha] is to tilt-lock the seat a couple of degrees back, and then set the recline to almost or less than 90 degrees upright depending so that im pushed a bit forward by the backrest. i then adjusted the lumbar/pillow as needed. its been a go-to comfort position of mine, especially when i am working. ++ sidenote, sadly would have bought the the Neue but it is not available in my country. Shipping / international fees if i did buy one would make it almost as expensive as a Herman Miller but with that said I have 0 regrets on my chair, it is a dream, especially compared to my old one :D
@@zxSwifty um rude. Anyway, my friend who is about my height who has the omega reco'd me to get the 2022 model once it came out as well. As mentioned as well, i am very happy with my chair.
Hey! Hopefully you catch with you this comment, Ahnestly! I find it pretty daunting to buy a proper Office Chair. I'm on the bigger side, with both being big and tall, and therefore obviously got restrictions of what to purchase. Don't take this as anything personal, but it near frustrates me that no chair-reviewer, or retailer even mentions the seat-width. And where different sites "sometimes" label is as "width", do they measure it as the width of the actual seat, or from handrest to handrest? I take it that it usually would be labeled individually to seat-width and width. Again, don't view this as anything negative, Ahnestly. I just want to find the right chair, and with so many sources available, I thought this would be a rather short case with finding the right chair, but I was wrong. If you or someone here perhaps could toss me some reccomendations, here and now. Do you know of any chair who got a seat-depth of 23 inches, or more, and measure well with someone being 6 feet. Sorry if this was troublesome, but I would really appreciate any help here. This hunt for a chair is near driving me crazy. Best regards. Qv11st
hey! So there are a lot of chairs that work for 6' folks! Check out my other channel The Blind Guys where we blind test chairs and one of the guys is 6'1. While I don't have those measurements on me, I also have a video here, where I use my findings + feedback received from comments on YT to help tall folks find their perfect chair (ua-cam.com/video/zxTiAZn8qNQ/v-deo.html)
@@Ahnestly Hey man! Good day or evening! Oh, right. I'll further venture there. Much thanks! Also, to further add to my previous comment. I have only come to find the Embody by Herman Miller to be over 22 inches, that being seat-width. Also I take it as that if a chair don't feature the handrests, the width, if even labeled, would be the seat-width, or perhaps the backseat width, though I find that to always be mentioned, but that is not always the same width as the seat itself. Yeah, this is not very straight forward haha. One last thing. I'm not too restricted on budget, with willing to spend 1200 USD on a chair at most. That's it. Thank you again, Ahnestly! Very much appreciated! Have a great rest of your day!
So after using over 6 month, I would def recommend cheap / best Hyken Chair.. All these HM Aeron / Embody is just over hyped. My Aeron and Embody sits aside and have hardly used since I got this 149 Hyken.. Believe me or get all of the 3 and test yourself.. The HM doesnt even come with headrest..
Hey, Question for you. For a Tall 6ft3 guy who is looking for a chair that is comfortable to play games on and layback nap or layback and watch netflix which chair would you recommend. I was looking at Secretlab just for the better recline since i have a studio apartment so no room for really another chair. So wanting to get a good all purpose chair for gaming and just passing out with my cat on my lap.
Hey I think for something like that, I would recommend the titan evo 2022 xl. The comfort in playing games is above average for a gaming chair, but for most people, an ergonomic chair “fits” better. If you decide to pick up, please consider using my link as it helps this channel a LOT!
Note on the Hyken... If you're over 225lbs or so or just wider than most, it'll feel a little too narrow for you and when the Mesh sags the plastic digs into your thighs... That being said, I'm over 225lbs and used a Hyken for over 4 years with minimal complaints (bought it when they were $90 lol) replaced it recently because with time and significant use the Mesh was sagging too much... But will emphasize, 4 years as a fat dudes daily driver chair... Got more than my monies worth even if I had paid $200
Hello again, Thanks for these advices but in all these videos that I watched from you I never had the advice about the durability in time (structural (like the foot of the chair, arms rests, ...) and the durability of the cushions. I'm looking for a durable, ergonomic chair, with lombar support, adaptable arms rests, headrest(optionnal), tilt function, ... The fact that is hard for me to get is that i'm a tall folk 1,84m (6,04 feet) with a 130 kg (287 lbs). My actual chair is an AKracing fabric chair that I have since 5 years. BUT it broke in the first year of usage. The foot in cast steel broke like hell. So since 4 years i'm using a personnal wooden box made with rafters to support the actual seat... yeah it's pretty ghetto and I can give you a picture if you want (and you can use it, just tell me if you want it) But I have enough ! My back hurt like i'm dying everyday so i'm gonna invest in a good chair. I want a really durable chair because i won't invest in it for years. So two main caracteristics : - Heavy lifter (durable for 130 Kg) - Ergonomic (i'm using it 14 Hours/day) - Arms rest (3d/4d) - Headrest (optional) - Lombar support (stiff if possible or comfort) - Durable cushions (or replaceable) bc i think meshes are not designed for heavy lifting - Height ajustement - Tilting ajustement - tension ajustement (optional) Secondary caracteristics : - Replaceable parts (if not really durable for my weight) - For broader shoulders and wide tighs To summarize, the soviet era chair of ergonomy and comfort 😅 Since you have amazing rhetoric, i'm sub now ! Your speechs are wondefull even for an non native english speaker. A little hi from Belgium !
Honestly, I'd recommend a La-Z Boy + bedside desktop table to go with it. I got my desktop setup like that and I just slide the table to adjust the distance. None of these chairs can match up to a La-Z Boy imo.
I saw one in Office Depot the other day that is similar to the staples one but the headrest was fully integrated and it was $150. My brief testing it was fairly comfy.
Dan! The best gaming chair is the Logitech Embody gaming chair not the Nueue. I think I spelled that wrong but you know which one I’m referring to but I don’t consider the Logitech Embody to be a gaming chair though. Otherwise it’s the perfect gaming chair. Can wait til you get the HM gaming series chairs. My wife has the Gaming Sayl.
I would say if you start climbing over 250lbs, then you're going to be a little more mindful, but under that and you should be fine (except for cheap mesh seat chairs! Avoid those! Go with a Herman Miller if you're 250 or over so you have the 12 year security on your mesh!!!)

@@nataliedavison5592 I ended up with a embody. Absolutely love it but now I have a chair addiction
@@nataliedavison5592 also I do have a workpro mid grade chair from Office Depot that I was recently gifted and it’s been a great chair as well.
True tho
This was the best review of these chairs that I've seen anywhere. I'm actually going to give up my old Areon for an new Embody now. Thanks!
Nice! I'm glad you liked it!!
hey AP! would you like to sell your aeron over to me?
I like that you recognize that some people like to sit on chairs in non standard fashion. I wish more chairs had armrests that could be moved back and out of the way when I do such things. I watched this video with my left side against the seat back.
Ooooo I've got just the chair for you! It'll be a couple weeks before I can review it, but you can see a sneak peak (it's the one in the middle) in my upcoming video. It drops in 28 minutes!
Such a great video. Most of these office chair videos only target people of regular heights, so I really appreciate the fact you made a video for us at the ends of the spectrum
Hey dude, nice to watch you back on the chairs again, I am still on my Aeron.
niceee
@@o.s.h.4613 I don't seat like that I see what you saying. On my Aeron I use a cushion on top of the seat. as I don't find it comfy for me without and when I do it I can cross the legs as it clears the plastic.I bought some thick foam and used a cover from a Ikea cushion, a big one.
@@Ahnestly which chair is good for scoliosis and piriformis and sciatica which is for pain in the back and leg and buttock.
I subscribed because your videos are always professional. Thumbs up. I got the information I needed. Wish I found your channel earlier. Recently bought Sihoo Doro c300 and Dexley Ergonomic Mesh Swivel Task Chair. Returned them because they made me feel uncomfortable. Still looking for a comfortable chair for both coding and gaming.
Suprised to see the Hyken in your video. Because I have exact the same one at home for my family. That is truly comfortable and unbeatable in that price range.
As someone 6'6, I've tried the Aeron C Remastered, Gesture, and Embody. The Embody was the clear winner to me. The Gesture seat depth, when extending it to max depth, still sucks. The sides of the seat on the Aeron bother me, and I'm not a fan of mesh backs to begin with. The Embody seat depth where it pulls out is sweet music to my legs. The back support is just better than the Aeron to me as well.
Great to know! I've heard taller guys struggle with the Embody for not getting enough upper back support! Check out my video on the sneak peaks at the Embody headrest - should make the chair MUCH better. I got to play with it a little and it was freaking so comfortable
@@Ahnestly Is this headrest still in the works, if so do you think it'll start selling in the next 2-4 months? Are there any custom made Steelcase headrests you would recommend?
I am 5 foot 8 and I had terrible circulation issues with the Secretlabs chairs. I switched to a Herman Miller Embody and I'm never going back!
My back owes you a lot man! Thanks to your channel, I ditched my gaming chair for an Aeron Remastered. Much love from the Philippines 🇵🇭
Woot woot!
Where did you buy it from sir?
dude as a short guy, you're a champion. thanks for the thorough video!
Np np!! Thanks for the kind words!!
I recently got the Mirra 2, and whilst I've managed to stop getting thigh pain from it, I think the seat depth is not long enough for me. So I'll be exchanging it for an Aeron size C and hopefully that will be all I need.
I bought a Haworth Fern about a month ago and it has been amazing. I am really not sure why Haworth isn't talked about as much as other chair companies. Super underrated chair and is cheaper then Herman Miller. You should check it out!
I was in the land of Haworth (Michigan) but unfortunately, the guys I met with didn't know Haworth as well as brands such as Herman Miller and Steelcase. I'm going to try and pick up a Fern here soon
Fern is superb. Best chair so far
Fern isn't great if you're tall. Short seat cushion with a sharp back edge.
cheaper? Haworth's website has the fern starting around $2k...
@@frumpd63 hard disagree. I'm 6'2 and love the Fern. MAYBE if you're like uber tall like 6'5+ but at that point I'd argue not many chairs will fit you well anyway
Yo! I watched your year ago and just watched the Blind Guys chair review. Love the content you guys do together.
Thanks man!!! Really appreciate the love!!
Can't wait to see your review of the Herman Miller Sayl. I have been searching for a good review of it for a while now.
Still waiting on it to come in!
I purchased a Secret lab Titan EVO. Best chair I've ever owned! Love it, sturdy as an anvil. R/2022.
Nice!!
Wow! Really high quality video and review , you need more subscribers man!
Thank you Dennis the developer! May you crush the code you develop and may the debugging process be easy!
As someone who is on the shorter side (5'4), but stupidly proportioned, and having tried many of these chairs, unfortunately by buying and returning them, I've tried all the secretlab chairs, the aeron, unknown brands and more,my last two are the gesture and embody, hoping the additional seat depth adjustments help. Genuinely really helpful video though which appeals to likely the vast majority of consumers.
Hey I appreciate the insight! Sorry to hear that!
watched ur Aeron guide yesterday and instantly snagged one for 60$ an hour after, thanks man
Nice!!!
Subbed because your videos are so good. Good quality work and thanks for the time you spend reviewing products
Thank you!!
I like your commentary and presentation! Outstanding explanation. Semper Fi
Wicked, can’t wait for the headrest video. 🥂🥂
6:30 Hi! Do you know if sitting Indian-style in a chair is good for posture long term? I've seen some articles online saying its not good posture.
Sitting in general isn’t good for your posture! As long as you’re comfortable and getting out and exercising/stretching to reduce the effects of sitting, you’re golden!
@@Ahnestly True true! Hmm I do like to sit in my current chair Indian-style, but after watching your videos seems like you can't do that in an Aeron. So if I go for an Aeron I think I'll have to give up sitting that way in a chair.
P.S. I also use a kneeling chair, and stand throughout the day - but towards the end of the day I get tired and I just want a chair. lol
Would love to see a rundown list of your picks for those who sit cross-legged for few hours at a time!
That's a tough one! I'll keep that in mind in the future which chair should you buy list!
Awesome VIDEOOOO, needed this video because currently looking into a new chair atm
This vid really helped with my decision. Great review video too! Thanks for helping me find a chair.
Of course!!! Let me know if it works out!!!
I've bought the Embody X and love it, I'm 6.1 180lbm perfect chair for my size.
Nice!!!
The Doug DeMuro of office chair.
Can't thank you enough for fulfilling my weird fascination for chairs.
This being said we're buying a new office and need chairs but are still in a budget, I'll look at the mfavour full mesh, needing to buy about 30 chairs seems like a good deal until we can afford high-tier!
Thanks for that! If I do so I'll hit you up to get an amazon link from you so you get a cut from the few bucks we'll spend.
Woah woah even I watch Doug demuro and I don’t even know cars and I wish I could be as good as he is! That’s some really high praise, thank you so much! And yeah if you ever decide to buy, let me know! You can email me at ahntouragemedia@gmail.com if you want to do a short video session to ask any questions you have!
Your review is spot on buddy I have the titan and I’m 5’6’’ and its absolutely horrible on my lower legs! Thanks for getting it right for us short folk!
Of course!!
You got the regular or small one?
its probably not a commonly known brand in the us, but i got a wilkhahn in 184/7 chair and i absolutely love it.
I'll reach out!
thanks for the thorough sizing guide video really appreciate it. was on the fence about getting the small or regular titan evo chair but not anymore.
Nice!!!
I am 5'11 and HM aeron size B is a bit small for me. I bought size C and it fits perfectly
Nice nice!
I just got my Herman Miller Sayl gaming and LOVE it. I work from home and it is perfect for my needs. I only wish the arm side to side adjustment would lock into place, but it's not a big deal for me. I always sit all the way up to my desk and the arm rests just go under the desk. It's more when I'm lounging watching some videos that I notice and it's not that big a deal. Other than that it is surprising how supportive the back feels considering it has no lumbar adjustment. I'd give it a 9/10
Can't wait for mine to come in!
How much did that cost
@@itzjustkris7964 $700 with a slight discount they were running a couple of months ago. I know the price is steep, but when you spend most of your day on a chair that's one area I decided I shouldn't skimp out. Before that I was on a $40 amazon chair that had been broken for months
@@gabrielfernandez4897 that’s still too much imo…I’m probably gonna just get a secretlab 2022 evo they are only 500 and seem really nice …besides I want a chair that doesn’t stop at my shoulders and charge another 100+ for a head rest
@@itzjustkris7964 oh I completely understand. You might want to look at the Razer chair as well. I've read some good things about it and it's also that gamery bucket style
I tryed out a lot of 2k office chairs a few weeks ago and I felt in love with kloeber connex 2. Armrest is the only contra point but rest is heaven. My back pain went away after 2-3 days and I can finally sit for 8h a day again
This looks awesome, but germany only?
Something to Note on the Embody... The Seat itself is VERY firm... The back support is otherworldly, but I'm too heavy I guess, I bought it and resold it after 2 weeks. It hurt my butt too much to sit on
Interesting - I didn't find it that firm!
I have ordered a Steelcase Gesture a few days ago. Glad to see your recommendation for it for bigger folks. Interestingly the Gesture costs 930€ for the version with arm and head rests here in germany. Thats the final price with taxes and shipping included.
Interesting! It’s also cheaper on Amazon than on steelcase’s site which is odd!
Can confirm just ordered one for 945€ with headrest and aluminium legs. Though I only got this price by ordering a model that is "take as it is", so not configurable. Configuring it yourself you will be a good amount above 1000€. Economie of Scale by the german resellers probably makes this possible
GREAT VIDEO. i was on the fence about ordering a proper chair and i went with the Titan Evo 2022. I hope i like it. We shall see.
Hope it works out!
I'm exactly 5'6, and the seat depth of my "gaming" chair has been one of it's biggest issues for me since I got it.
Even when using multiple pillows to create somewhat of a lower back support, eventually I always end up sliding forward and putting more pressure on my feet/knees while bending my lower back and pressing my forearms against the desk surface.
Yeah it's tricky. The only one I've found that can accomodate shorter people is the NobleChairs Icon, but I don't like the use of a lumbar pillow!
Don't rely on pillows for lower back. Use it only if you're in poverty and can't afford lumbar support. Also get a foot stool/raise
Hey! I'm 156cm (About 5ft1) and love the Lino chair by Herman Miller. The smaller aeron was another option. A cheaper option would be the staples Hyken, but there are less possible adjustments.
I'm watching this before heading in-store to try out Herman Miller chairs. I'm torn between the Aeron and the Embody
Staples Hyken owner here. On point with the cheaper feeling of everything. But it works! Can't complain. The Secret Lab Neue would be what I get as a replacement based on your recommendation, unless I can find an affordable Aeron.....
Glad you agree!
Got my Aeron Gaming Onyx last week! Matching Atlas on the way. Super happy with it. Mirra is moving to my second place
Niceeee!!
Where can I get the white secret labs chair?
Looks so slick in black and white but I cant find the excact version you have.. :(
This is the Ash color for the titan evo 2022! Check out my sizing guide for details on what size you should pick up! Please consider using my link if you decide to pick up!
Ur right about the Aeron. It solved my back issues also. But I can’t sit in the aeron long term especially if I’m doing something active like being on laptop or gaming. I find my butt sliding forward if I’m not consciously thinking about my posture. It’s good to lean back and let it “catch” me for few hours. If I sit straight up my butt just slides forward. I use it to “catch” me while I’m watching tv or sports game relaxing. I keep it on the side to keep my back healthy. I use the steelcase leap for my daily use
Try using a textured footrest. You can pressure down on it to keep you upright. Also, try to tilt forward option
I've been binging chair videos for a week now lol, and went to a store to test out the Herman Miller chairs today. Aeron remastered, Embody, Mirra, Cosm. At 5'7" 160lbs I gave Aeron #1 and Cosm mid-back #2. I wasn't a fan of the Embody or Mirra. Gonna pull the trigger on an Aeron remastered soon.
Nice!!! If you opt to buy one online, please consider using my link. Otherwise, enjoy your Aeron!!
Hi Elliot, curious why you weren't a fan of Mirra or Embody. \ Cheers, Marie
@@lukechristian8371 They were both pretty stiff. Especially the Mirra. I ended up buying the Aeron. After owning the Aeron for a couple months now I'd say don't count out the Embody. It's more spacious and probably better for everyday casual use, whereas the Aeron is more task oriented.
Thanks for your reviews - I just purchased the Secret Lab Neue through your referral link! I hope it's a great as you make it sound!
I really hope you love it man. I and my friends and my wife were shocked at how good it was considering I have HM chairs sprawled all over my house!
What about thunderx3 yama series, especially yama5??? Can you get that and review it, please?
just got a steelcase leap v2 refurbished for about $540 it's great!
woot woot!
So, since I like sitting in weird shapes, I'm not a rich biotch, used embody locally doesn't exist, used aerons are 800$, pretty much the only thing that won't bite me if I yeet my feet on the seat is Titan, correct?
ya I'd say the chair offers a ton of flexibility if you sit in weird ways! Also lol on the "yeet on my feet"
Yep, that works fine
Where's " NobleChair" I've been using mine for 4-5 years now and I haven't got any issue unlike my friends that already changes for 2-3 times already, only recently I've been seeing some wear and tears but not issue since I plan to grab another Noblechair this coming black friday
You're so good at what you do. Thanks for all the info man. :)
Thanks man i really appreciate it!
What’s the best budget chair for a college student? After doing some research, the IKEA Markus looks to be my best bet at $200 and a 10 year warranty. However, the nearest IKEA is several hours away with no shipping options and the chair isn’t even in stock there at the moment…
loved the intro!!
Thanks man!!
I'm super happy with my Steelcase Series 2.
One day, maybe Steelcase will notice me... lol
Some points about the Neue from a 5'10" guy with a bad back:
The lumbar support is aggressive AF. It is not comfortable for long sessions at all, it feels like someone is holding a foot to your back. The area above the lumbar does not really get support, as the mesh is kind of loose there.
The armrests are massive. You cannot set them to desk height without pushing yourself away from the desk. Moving them up also moves them forward, which worsens the issue. As the controls are integrated into the armrests (and the mounting system is non-standard), you can't even replace them or take them off.
Butt mesh: there is a small sweet spot in which I feel comfortable, but I wish the seat pan was a bit longer. I added a wooden plate below it and squished some cut foam in there to make it more comfortable, but it still does not feel like the pressure is distributed evenly.
Probably fine for as a casual office chair, but I wouldn't use it for longer than 8h a day. At least it's better than my previous DX Racer1 haha
Where can I buy core workout motivation?
Try to reduce the lumbar (you can push it in or "deflate" it). I thought when you extend it out, it was really really aggressive. Also, core workout motivation = find a partner to be intimate with...and be intimate a lot... :-D
Ha that's great...watched a bunch of videos /read articles/reviews of a bunch of chairs yesterday and ended up getting the HM aeron , now this morning I see your video....lol owell guess I'm still watching 🤷
lol nice!
@@Ahnestly yeah feel kinda bad now, knowing I could've hooked you up with the bonus from using your link
No worries!! Appreciate you thinking of me!!
Great vid, just what I was looking for. Still trying to source a Canadian supplier so I can check some out.
I just received my embody logitech chair, it so good. Tho for me the price is overpriced, but we’ll see 30 days from now
Anything wihtout arms so I can tuck closer to desk? Or not bang desk when it spins around
You can get an Aeron with no arms! Much cheaper actually bc no one wants that lol!!
Which MFavour Ergonomic model is that one?
the Amazon link you posted shows a bunch of similary named yet slightly different models and so does their website, it's difficult to distinguish one fron the other.
Thanks for the video I’m going with a Embody! I found a local dealer who will sell me a brand new one with warranty for 950.00!!!!
I checked every link on this video and every single one has too high shipping or the wrong chair like mfavour ergonomic the seat is leather the height adjustment handle in the wrong place.
I guess I'm going with the ikea mesh I just can't find anything else.
Ouch :-\ yeah I don't know what MFavour is doing with their links. I'm US based, so that's probably why that's happening :-(
Someone’s selling the Staples Hyken for $100 near me. He said it’s been used lightly for one year. Should I go for it? I’m a 21M 5’10” college student.
Would you recommend the Secretlab Titan 2022 chair for someone who is 6'0 and 315LBS?
Ya might Wana go xl though. Just released a sizing guide! Check it out n
What about ( LAZBOY CHAIRS ) big and tall excusive ?? Do you recommendsd for people how stay more than 8hrs on chair ?
I don't know much about this one. It's a pretty standard pleather office chair and if you like it, go for it!
@@Ahnestly I'm thinking between it and TiTAN XL . I'm tall guy and I like stay like this on chair 🧘♂️
Just finished a week long trial of Aeron chairs. I'm 5'11" and tldr Aeron isn't working. The B size doesn't support my back properly and the C size cuts into my thighs. Just buyer beware for people on the cutoff range in height like myself.
That's rough!! The Aeron isn't for everybody!
I’m a little shocked to see your statement about the Secret Lab Titan sizing guide, I just ordered the 2022 Titan Regular. Im nearly 5’8 in height and weigh 210lbs, I seem to be between small/regular according to your recommendation. I thought I needed XL just because the website says 220lb+ to get XL!
Yeah I think you'd def be better off in a regular if you're worried about weight. Make sure to get a footrest though!!
This is definitely the chair master on youtube.. settled for secret lab after watching your videos ! haha.. keep it up chair master..
Thanks man!!
The office chair mid-tier for taller people you suggested: 1) used HM Aeron (unable to buy at my location) and 2) Sidiz T80 (also unable to buy at my location). Could you suggest an additional, third option?
Hm I haven't found that many as of yet...some taller guys liked the Matchspel from Ikea, but that's more budget. I would say if you can find a refurbished Steelcase Gesture, that would come into the mid-tier price range!
@@Ahnestly Thank you sir!
Getting alittle worried 6'3 just ordered XL secret lab Monka
You'll be fine!
Steelcase Leap is top pick for me
EMBODY HEADREST! :D
That's like... the biggest flaw with the Embody finally solved... after what... 12 years?
@Dan, Hi! just saw this video. Quick ? for you, as I'm in the position of purchasing a new chair. Would you recommend a new Lab Neue, or used HM Aeron? Almost seem that cost would be about the same.
Quick answer for you! HM every time.
OK, looking for a chair for our son for a college graduation gift. He plays games like League of Legends and he is IT Tech support so he works and games on his computer. Would I go for a gaming chair or the HM office chair????
I think he would be MUCH happier with a HM chair from both a brand perspective and because I would say HM is a better fit for like 70% of people whereas a gaming chair would be smaller for like 30-40% of people! If you do decide to pick up, please consider using my link as it helps this channel a LOT! Also, if you're in the US, HM is having a 15% off sale but not sure when it'll end!
Had to return a Hyken after 2 days because the lumbar support was so aggressive it made me feel like I was getting stabbed in the back.
I use a Lazyboy recliner.
Am 6’5’ btw and I have the Herman Miller Embody but I am too heavy above 400lbs muscles and fat and legs are wide so ye, I have 1 week and then I can send it back and get cash back so SecretLab Titan XL or Dxracer Tank for me?
Oof I don't know...I would say a lot of people I've had over really liked the Titan Evo, but dont have the dxracer tank to compare. It's difficult for a man your size though...may not find a good fit anywhere. Pay close attention to what the wings and leg area looks like - if protrudes too far, i recommend the one with the lesser "protrusion"! If it ends up being the Titan Evo, please consider using my links as it helps this channel a LOT!!!
@@Ahnestly aight
I ordered a 2022 small, im only 5'7 around 70kg. The neure looks good, but $200 more with the headrest. Also I live in a cold climate so the fabric will be nice. Will let you know what I think of the small :)
My 8yo cheap chair broke last week, and annoyingly it is making my back sore as it wobble a fair bit lol. Nice vid
Nice please do!!
So I've been using the chair for 4 days now, it is very good quality and was easy to put together, great seat length, my knees can bend and my feet can touch the ground!! Very customisable which is awesome. I think the cushion is too thick, as is pushes my head too far forward. The magnetic arm rests are good but magnets could be stronger, I've pulled them off a couple of times now.
@@roamingnurses8785 I'm considering the evo small too; 171 cm / 5'6+ . What about the space between the seat front and the inner knee ? How is it going after 7 months ?
@@rahpat01 it's been very good, loving the adjustability (recline in a boring meeting lol). I actually had to get the back replaced as the lumbar support was broken and loud when I moved. The support was easy, just had to send a video and then they sent out a new one!
great review...couldn't finish this video.. all chairs for rich people. you have any reviews on mid tier and more affordable ergo or gaming chair????
I'll be focusing more on budget chairs this year! However, I don't plan to do the more budget gaming chairs just yet...
Damn! the chart says that B is for me but I feel the B too small and the C too big, on Aeron, I try both at the store! I don't know what do.
Have you checked out the Haworth Fern chair?
I’m waiting on Haworth to send one over! Waiting on their new color schemes
I bought the secretlab titan evo 2022 small after watching your previous reviews lol, Anyway I can agree that the seat depth is a bit too long [ 5'3, 120 lbs ], but my solution [aside from being an ergonomics rebel haha] is to tilt-lock the seat a couple of degrees back, and then set the recline to almost or less than 90 degrees upright depending so that im pushed a bit forward by the backrest. i then adjusted the lumbar/pillow as needed. its been a go-to comfort position of mine, especially when i am working.
++ sidenote, sadly would have bought the the Neue but it is not available in my country. Shipping / international fees if i did buy one would make it almost as expensive as a Herman Miller but with that said I have 0 regrets on my chair, it is a dream, especially compared to my old one :D
5'3 you should be getting the omega
Nice adjustments! Glad it worked out! Try to get a tall footrest!
@@zxSwifty um rude. Anyway, my friend who is about my height who has the omega reco'd me to get the 2022 model once it came out as well. As mentioned as well, i am very happy with my chair.
@@SuperBlueKazoo that's not rude what he said
Is there anywhere I can get the secret lab neue refurbished
GREAT VIDEOS. I am 5'7" heavier. Need a chair to handle the weight.
You should try this: bouty chair model quatra 4003
Really enjoyed the video. Sadly even the budget option is not in my Budget 😄 I am really looking forward to your Matchspell review
They just arrived!
Try Sihoo chairs. They are cheaper than high end ones and really comfortable
Hey! Hopefully you catch with you this comment, Ahnestly!
I find it pretty daunting to buy a proper Office Chair. I'm on the bigger side, with both being big and tall, and therefore obviously got restrictions of what to purchase.
Don't take this as anything personal, but it near frustrates me that no chair-reviewer, or retailer even mentions the seat-width. And where different sites "sometimes" label is as "width", do they measure it as the width of the actual seat, or from handrest to handrest? I take it that it usually would be labeled individually to seat-width and width.
Again, don't view this as anything negative, Ahnestly. I just want to find the right chair, and with so many sources available, I thought this would be a rather short case with finding the right chair, but I was wrong.
If you or someone here perhaps could toss me some reccomendations, here and now. Do you know of any chair who got a seat-depth of 23 inches, or more, and measure well with someone being 6 feet.
Sorry if this was troublesome, but I would really appreciate any help here. This hunt for a chair is near driving me crazy.
Best regards.
Qv11st
hey! So there are a lot of chairs that work for 6' folks! Check out my other channel The Blind Guys where we blind test chairs and one of the guys is 6'1. While I don't have those measurements on me, I also have a video here, where I use my findings + feedback received from comments on YT to help tall folks find their perfect chair (ua-cam.com/video/zxTiAZn8qNQ/v-deo.html)
@@Ahnestly Hey man! Good day or evening! Oh, right. I'll further venture there. Much thanks!
Also, to further add to my previous comment. I have only come to find the Embody by Herman Miller to be over 22 inches, that being seat-width. Also I take it as that if a chair don't feature the handrests, the width, if even labeled, would be the seat-width, or perhaps the backseat width, though I find that to always be mentioned, but that is not always the same width as the seat itself. Yeah, this is not very straight forward haha.
One last thing. I'm not too restricted on budget, with willing to spend 1200 USD on a chair at most. That's it. Thank you again, Ahnestly! Very much appreciated! Have a great rest of your day!
So after using over 6 month, I would def recommend cheap / best Hyken Chair.. All these HM Aeron / Embody is just over hyped. My Aeron and Embody sits aside and have hardly used since I got this 149 Hyken.. Believe me or get all of the 3 and test yourself.. The HM doesnt even come with headrest..
Interesting...I found the hyken to be too small and felt the parts and mesh to be really inferior, BUT I was OK with it because of its price!!
so do you still think the neueu has weak mesh? is that not covered by the warranty? i was all but sold on it but now im not sure as im 200lbs.
Hey, Question for you. For a Tall 6ft3 guy who is looking for a chair that is comfortable to play games on and layback nap or layback and watch netflix which chair would you recommend. I was looking at Secretlab just for the better recline since i have a studio apartment so no room for really another chair. So wanting to get a good all purpose chair for gaming and just passing out with my cat on my lap.
Hey I think for something like that, I would recommend the titan evo 2022 xl. The comfort in playing games is above average for a gaming chair, but for most people, an ergonomic chair “fits” better. If you decide to pick up, please consider using my link as it helps this channel a LOT!
@@Ahnestly Thanks and used your Affiliate link :)
I think weight plays a big part, from experience..
Note on the Hyken... If you're over 225lbs or so or just wider than most, it'll feel a little too narrow for you and when the Mesh sags the plastic digs into your thighs... That being said, I'm over 225lbs and used a Hyken for over 4 years with minimal complaints (bought it when they were $90 lol) replaced it recently because with time and significant use the Mesh was sagging too much... But will emphasize, 4 years as a fat dudes daily driver chair... Got more than my monies worth even if I had paid $200
Yeah, the Hyken is VERY small. I was surprised at how small it was!
I've had a Bodybilt J3507 for 12 yrs now and it's starting to give out and it's breaking my heart because i got it cheap and I can't afford a new one
Hello again,
Thanks for these advices but in all these videos that I watched from you I never had the advice about the durability in time (structural (like the foot of the chair, arms rests, ...) and the durability of the cushions.
I'm looking for a durable, ergonomic chair, with lombar support, adaptable arms rests, headrest(optionnal), tilt function, ...
The fact that is hard for me to get is that i'm a tall folk 1,84m (6,04 feet) with a 130 kg (287 lbs).
My actual chair is an AKracing fabric chair that I have since 5 years. BUT it broke in the first year of usage. The foot in cast steel broke like hell. So since 4 years i'm using a personnal wooden box made with rafters to support the actual seat... yeah it's pretty ghetto and I can give you a picture if you want (and you can use it, just tell me if you want it)
But I have enough ! My back hurt like i'm dying everyday so i'm gonna invest in a good chair. I want a really durable chair because i won't invest in it for years.
So two main caracteristics :
- Heavy lifter (durable for 130 Kg)
- Ergonomic (i'm using it 14 Hours/day)
- Arms rest (3d/4d)
- Headrest (optional)
- Lombar support (stiff if possible or comfort)
- Durable cushions (or replaceable) bc i think meshes are not designed for heavy lifting
- Height ajustement
- Tilting ajustement
- tension ajustement (optional)
Secondary caracteristics :
- Replaceable parts (if not really durable for my weight)
- For broader shoulders and wide tighs
To summarize, the soviet era chair of ergonomy and comfort 😅
Since you have amazing rhetoric, i'm sub now ! Your speechs are wondefull even for an non native english speaker. A little hi from Belgium !
Nice!!! Thanks for the kind words and best of luck in your search!!
Honestly, I'd recommend a La-Z Boy + bedside desktop table to go with it. I got my desktop setup like that and I just slide the table to adjust the distance. None of these chairs can match up to a La-Z Boy imo.
And the answer is… Haworth Fern chair for me. I absolutely love it.
Check out tomorrow's release...some updates incoming!
I saw one in Office Depot the other day that is similar to the staples one but the headrest was fully integrated and it was $150. My brief testing it was fairly comfy.
nice! if it works for you, then it's the right chair!
Dan! The best gaming chair is the Logitech Embody gaming chair not the Nueue. I think I spelled that wrong but you know which one I’m referring to but I don’t consider the Logitech Embody to be a gaming chair though. Otherwise it’s the perfect gaming chair. Can wait til you get the HM gaming series chairs. My wife has the Gaming Sayl.
I’m 6’7 250lbs with a back problem, what would be a good chair for me that is under $1000?
Does weight not matter as much as height?
I would say if you start climbing over 250lbs, then you're going to be a little more mindful, but under that and you should be fine (except for cheap mesh seat chairs! Avoid those! Go with a Herman Miller if you're 250 or over so you have the 12 year security on your mesh!!!)
The new cushion headrest is officially out now, can you do a review of your unit and compare with the old one perhaps?
