    Just a note on the warranty from Crandle Office chairs, their warranty doesn't cover wear and tear of the chair. So as you use the chair, if the cushion starts to sag or the backrest isn't as firm or the heard rest starts to slip or the gasket looses effectiveness (you know, all the things that would make someone want to return a chair years later) because of normal wear and tear, the warranty doesn't cover it.

    6'4" 260lbs here, having owned the Steelcase Gesture if I were to do it again, I'd get the Amia with no headrest instead its much more comfortable for a big & tall person than the Gesture. The Gesture's back rest is too narrow for a Big & Tall person, but I must admit it's got best in class back support. I had the chance to try out the Amia after buying the Gesture and yeah its more comfortable for me. Also, if you do decide to get the Steelcase Gesture, do NOT buy it with the headrest I've never been able to get it to adjust so it feels right so I just don't use it and I wish I could remove it, but you can't after you order one with it. Good luck on your Chair journey everyone!

    The production value here is nuts considering how small your channel is, and I really appreciate how thorough your chair reviews are, especially for sitting positions that might not be "ergonomic" per-se, but are still common sitting positions, especially for those who like to stim or fidget.
    Now that I know the Atlas doesn't have the seat sliding/headrest issues mentioned in your full review, I think I'll go with that one, and see how some sort of foam or pillow works for the lumbar support. Thanks for the review and addendum of that chair - The additional coverage and testing for all the other chairs, budgets, and heights are something I greatly appreciate as well, even if those don't apply to me.

    Literally spent like 1 entire month trying to decide upon a good ergonomic chair ( i m 178 cm and 81 kg ) and after a lot of research i decided there were 3 final options : Mirra 2 , Aeron and Leap v2 . I spent 4 hours driving just to test all these 3 chairs and i was pretty surprised that the one i liked the most and felt simply perfect on my body was the Leap . If you ask me it felt waay better and supportive than the Mirra 2 and Aeron but every person is different i guess

    This is impressively comprehensive! I scored a used Zody from a local store for $100 during a moving sale and I like the chair but I really need a headrest so I might try one of those clamping Chinese ones just to get by for a bit....but I'm saving for either a Fern plus Atlas headrest or an Embody plus Atlas headrest. Just wish I could try them out before ordering since returns are a pain and costly.

    I'm 187 cm and tested all available chairs at Staples and Walmart. Only two models felt good for my back: the Staples Rutherford (Luxura) and the Staples Carder. I found a used Carder nearby for $40, so I’ll go with that.
    The following models were terrible for my back, either pushing my shoulders forward and causing an unnatural curve or featuring headrests that dug into my shoulders on the highest position. Racing-style chairs were also uncomfortable, pressing against my back from the sides:
    - Staples Hyken
    - Staples Dexley
    - Staples Kelburne
    - Staples Sorina
    - Staples Lockland
    - Staples Emerge
    - A few unknown models from Target and Walmart.

    Nice video! One genuine recommendation for shorter people that I don’t often see mentioned is to choose a chair with the right **armrest width**. Many chairs have armrests set so far apart that they barely provide support for shorter individuals while typing. For reference, I’m 5'2", and a 16-inch armrest width is ideal for supporting me while I type. This width tends to suit people of similar height. I previously owned a Steelcase Leap V1 with non-adjustable armrest width, which caused a lot of discomfort.
    16in armrest width doesn't leave us much options, some I researched qualifed include: Steelcase Leap V2, Steelcase Gesture, Herman Miller Embody, and Herman Miller Sayl. I researched budget-friendly ones too but didn't find ANY. I’d love to know if there are other options, and I hope manufacturers consider this need more for shorter people in the future. I've spent 10+ hours shopping the right chair and feel shorter people are often an overlooked group

    I’m 6ft tall and something I’ve noticed over the 3 years I’ve owned the aeron size c is that I think I need a chair with more upper back support as I always have upper back pain sitting down, regardless the aeron completely removed any lower back pain.

      @CloudMountainJuror 2 місяці тому +3

      Do you have one with the PostureFit SL? If so, have you tried reducing it a bit, so you can sit back further in the chair and maybe make more upper back contact with the backrest? Just a possible suggestion. I noticed having my PF cranked too high caused a lot of problems with the chair that all went away once I got that adjusted right.

    Hey, just wanted to let you know that forward tilt is no longer available on the regular sayl chair, its a gaming sayl only feature now. I was informed of this by a representative. You can still special order the forward tilt on the regular sayl, but you forfeit your right to a 30 day return period. Great vid as always!

    I'm 180cm looking for a high back chair, and due to the hype around it, I bought the Colamy Atlas. Excellent seat cushion, the lumbar support didn't bother me, I thought that the arm rests would be uncomfortable but it was better than I expected, and even after almost a year seems to be a near perfect chair for the pricepoint.
    I unfortunately will probably have to change it, as I don't like the headrest. Ahnestly's first impressions was that it was too stiff/not adjustable enough, but my problem with it is that it is too adjustable. What I mean is that you can't lean much into it without it moving its tilt position. I had to settle it with at the lowest height and max tilt forward to be used as a neckrest, but even then it's not as stable as it can be. If there's some sort of "lock into place" mechanism so it doesn't tilt when pushing against it with my head, it would have been awesome.
    If the headrest isn't a deal breaker, then I would recommend the Atlas for people, as otherwise the chair is great. As it is though, I'm getting upper back/lower neck pain due to not having support for almost a year. I hate going out of the budget price point, but I will probably purchase a Fractal Design chair as the headrest seems much more stable for my particular needs.
    EDIT: Bought the Fabric Fractal Design as it looked like the cheapest chair that had a very good headrest, and I can feel relief in my shoulders/lower neck already. The armrest are more comfortable, but do note that the seat and the backrest are on the firm side. It gives A LOT of support for a big guy like me, but those who wants something more springy may want to get the mesh version. My only concern is if it will get hot in the summer, but for winter where I am right now, it's perfect for my use case.

    Hello, I want to share my experience with the Andaseat Kaiser 3 as a tall person. I bought the XL Grey Fabric version and I had to return it after a week of use. I'm 193 cm/6'4, I weigh about 100 kg/220 lbs, and the chair was genuinely unusable for me. No matter what height or backrest adjustment I tried, I had back and leg pains, I straight up hated the chair. The backrest is terrible, the top of the backrest is tilted in a way it forces me to slouch all the time, and in order for my back to be straight I have to recline so much to a point where I can't even see my screen anymore. The lumbar support is terrible, the adjustments feel like they don't do anything and no matter what position it was in it felt like my back is leaning against an edge of a table, the chair basically doesn't have any lumbar support, because I can't imagine anyone sitting in this chair and actually using the lumbar support. The worst part of the chair for me was the seat cushion, it's extremely firm, especially on the sides, I usually sit with my legs spread and the edges of the seat were digging into the bottom of my thighs, I couldn't fix that by adjusting the height of the chair (probably because of the cushion being so huge), because in order for the seat to not dig into the bottom of my thighs I had to sit basically almost on the ground way below the lowest possible height of my height adjustable table, but that way I couldn't even use the table. My issue with the height adjustment could be caused by the fact that I don't have a footrest, but I don't like footrests so I guess this chair just isn't for me. Also I am not sure about this, but the firmness could be caused by the fabric, I heard the fabric version of the Titan Evo is firmer than the leather version, so maybe it's the same for the Kaiser 3, or maybe the chair is just unusable without a footrest, but I honestly find it hard to recommend this chair to anyone even if you want to use a footrest.

    Crazy i was literally just bingeing your channel for a new chair to buy as this dropped,
    Alright I was really looking into the AndaSeat cause i like reclining but ultimately went with the Leap V2 because i didn't wanna have to upsize to the XL of the AndaSeat as im just about 260 lbs but deal with the issues of it being too long of a seat as i am also 5'9 but the Leap V2 seemed to be an overall versatile chair as i move and change positions constantly along with a really solid warranty for a re-manufactured Chair.
    Overall great and helpful reviews and documents, keep it up man.

    6'4" 250lb. I have neck and shoulder issues due to a pinched nerve and 7 buldging discs so head support is important, also like to have the option to both sit ergonomically correct and sit back and lounge.
    I hate the racing style chairs and didn't like the anda seat kasier 3 xl.
    Also didnt like the Steelcase Leap v2/plus as the back dug into my shoulder blades and I just couldn't get the back to get comfortable.
    Normal logitech embody same issue.
    Hated the Aeron C due to the hard plastic edges, i also like to sit cross legged and mesh isint great for that. Gesture seat was too shallow.
    The best back on a chair I've ever used is the serta hensley. Great high back with a large pillow for the neck. The problem is that the lumbar wears out and the front of the seat is too deep and high which puts pressure on the legs. It also has very high non adjustable arms which I ended up turning upside-down to make it armless but that causes elbow pain and I cant play controller games or lounge comfortably. Another issue is the back and seat move together when you tilt and doesn't lock into position. Its just being used because I cant find anything better atm so I honestly just stand at my standing desk most of the time.
    The staples beautyrest chair was comfortable for lounging but bad for tasking/gaming.
    Was interested in the fern with the atlas headrest but the gap when the seata pulled forward is a deal breaker.
    Still looking for a chair with a nice high back and plush head/neck rest that isint bucket style with adjustable arms.
    Currently looking at the Excebet Big and Tall on amazon and replacing its arms with 3rd party 4D arms.
    Feel like im never going to find something comfortable. 😢

    Hi Dan, Could you try the Herman Miller Verus in the future? Due to the import prices to my country, many cheap chairs are greatly increased in price when purchased on Amazon, for example the Branch ergonomic chair that would cost me around $800, at a similar price to the Herman Miller Verus, which has a distributor in my country. I am not going to buy an ergonomic chair anytime soon, but I want to save up so that in the future I can afford to buy one, and that is why I suggest that HM model, as I find it an interesting model and I would like you to review it in the future, also because I enjoy your videos.

    I wish I could’ve tried the butterfly mirra but they only had the triflex in my local store. The embody was horrible for me. Triggered my lower back pain almost immediately. Wasn’t a good fit for me at all even when I tried to adjustment. The lumbar adjustment in the Aeron remastered I also found was too high.
    Wanted to try Humanscale freedom but they only had leather with headrest and was way more expensive than the other options.
