• Back on the topic of office chairs, I'm currently using the below which on the surface looks legit. I got it ferried home via PedalMe from the office back in May. However, I don't necessarily feel super comfortable in it and have a feeling that it's something cutting/reducing circulation at my thigh level.

    Is my best bet upgrading for HM Mirra or similar at the £3-400 mark? (I'm 174cm and 72kg)

  • My physio suggested that a seat should measure ~3/4 the length of your hip to knee, and the back should be ~ the same as the distance between the base of your spine and start of your neck.

    With your feet flat on the floor, your thighs should be ~parallel to the floor

    HSE has guidance for chair & desk heights (their monitor height guidance is outdated though)

    That being said, I don't rate herman miller - too much form over function, particularly at the premium they charge.

  • I bought a HM celle and although it was a big step up from my cheapo ikea chair it wasnt anything like as good as an aeron. I eventually caved and bought one of those instead and I dont regret it. You should be able to find one within your budget second-hand pretty easily.
