So what chair did you buy?

[@Adones09]

@@PLGooner I ended up buying a HM Aeron... Knockoff, lol. I grew up poor, so even though I make money now, I find it difficult to spend that kind of money on a chair. I know the original is an "investment" and it will last longer, but i'm still not 100% that this is my Final chair. Don't want to spend that kind of money and say, "I like it, but I just don't like this part" for that kind of money. Kind of a test drive. So far, very supportive, but will it last?

Hi! did you get chair? Im here to prevent you buying mirra, cause i'm 6'3 too and lumbar support is too low and supports only my ass, not lumbar, just like shit tier chairs O i saw you get aeron. Do it have same too low lumbar problem?

[@silverbullet2900]

Your take is spot on. I hated the Aeron at my office because the front would always dig into my thigh if I want any lower back support. Got this chair since covid hit and never looked back.

[@ChenKaifeng]

My first "good" computer chair was the Mirra 2, then I went on a journey to find an even better chair. Basically tried maybe 10-12 high end mesh chairs and ended up returning ALL OF THEM because none of them felt as good as the Mirra 2. I didn't like the Aeron either because it dug into my legs.

[@BoYT1337]

I must admit, my knowledge is somewhat recent and small on all this, but I have tried quite a few chairs recently. From the Leap V1 Highback, V2, Mirra 2, Haworth Very, Aeron B and C, to the Amia. I would say out of all of them, I think the Mirra 2 is "the best chair" I love the look, the feel, and even the armrests. Everything about the Mirra 2 is exactly what I want, the size is perfect for me. I even bought the exact same colorway you did. However, with my flat rear-end, I just slide right into that plastic frame and get the tailbone pain. Currently I have an Aeron Size B that causes no tailbone pain whatsoever, even after 8+ hours, but it's hard to recline in due to the back being smaller. I tried my father's size C chair, and that convinced me to throw up a trade offer for a fully loaded C on FB marketplace. The Aeron C is the closest thing I can get to a Mirra 2 without it being a Mirra 2, so far anyway.. Really I just wish I could have the seat of the Aeron Size B, with the back of a Size C or a Mirra 2, but tis only a dream. Edit: I also lucked into a Mirra 2 to use at work, but since I don't recline at the office, I don't have much issue tailbone wise.

[@SaltyMaud]

I have an ancient Mirra 1 with most options beside the butterfly back and forward tilt. I love this thing, the back is definitely the best thing about it. I was sus about the bare plastic back, but I find it perfectly fine, and now that I think of it, I think I prefer it that way just to avoid the rim around the edge of the butterfly back. The armpads look funky, but the shape has function, the forward slope keeps them level when leaning back. At this point I wouldn't consider replacing this with anything but another Mirra.

[@Shadoweee]

Great video! You pushed me over the edge of splurging on the Aeron - I love it!

Your knee mobility looks much improved! Also, the lack of mic cables makes the video look much cleaner. The idea of the front of the seat pan being adjustable is interesting as the Aeron size B seat pans are not great for me even at around 6'

[@iHustleLXXXI]

I like the M2. I have the Logitech Embody for over 2yrs now and I work from home full-time. I spend 12+hrs per day 7 days a week and the Embody is super comfy. I often at times sit so long that I forget to go to break because I'm super comfy all the time. I have not tried any other HM chair except for the Gaming Sayl and it was comfy but not as comfy as the Embody. Overall, imo the Logitech Embody is the best chair money can buy. I recently had to use the 12yr warranty and the process was a pita because I had to ship the chair back to DWR to have my seat pan replaced. They no longer send techs out to your house. All repairs are being done at the factory which wasn't bad but it was a pita. Thanks.

[@danielekirylo]

I was thinking about the embody but my doubt is the seat breathability. Do you get warm sitting many hours in it? that is my only concern.

It was the first ever HM chair I ever tried, and it was almost the perfect chair for me. Unfortunately, the seat mesh wasn't as flexible, and it eventually started to give me some leg pain. I stopped getting leg pain after setting it correctly, however the seat width and depth felt a bit too small for me. I ended up switching to the Aeron size c, and the difference in the flexibility of the mesh was significant. The Mirra 2 is still a really underrated chair, and definitely a lot less polarising than the Aeron.

[@Erniebern06]

Great looking chair with those colors. I was eying some used ones. However, I got a Herman Miller Celle fully loaded for a great price. It's discontinued so barely gets any mention anywhere, but I love it. Snap on fabric pads on the seat and back and the synchro tilt from high end models is smooth, quiet, awesome. I don't think I would like the Celle with without the fabric (not mesh) pads on both the seat and back, but the Mirra 2 looks like decent material for mesh lovers. Celle has a nice wide seat too, but I really like the adjustable waterfall on the Mirra. Luckily with the Celle I get 2-3 fingers between my legs with outermost depth setting (I'm 5'9). I would love to see a used market Celle video if you get an itch for it. Maybe you can help someone find a diamond in the rough like I feel I have. It's so quiet too except the arms creak just a little. It's also very upright and does the forward tilt which I use for tasking. Great vid btw.

Celle was such a solid chair, I can't believe they discontinued it whilst keeping the Lino and Verus. 🤦‍♀️

I’m so glad I found your channel! I love your videos. Could you do a comparison between Mirra 2 and Embody? 🙏

[@Ahnestly]

Hi! That video isn’t planned (but could add for the future!!), so here’s my quick take: the embody is a much more flexible chair, both in actual feel since it bends with you, and in terms of sitting bc it has soft edges everywhere. If you’re heavier (200lbs+), you may find yourself leaning back in an embody a bit more though bc it’s so flexible, whereas the mirra is much more of a rigid chair and keeps you upright. The embody is my favorite chair of all time bc of its flexibility and how it molds to your body. With the headrest coming out very soon from atlas headrest, the embody is the best chair imho. Hope this helps! If you decide to pick up (20-25% off sale now!), please consider using my links as it helps my channel a LOT and if you’re unsure, I always tell people to take advantage of the excellent return policy and buy both and return the one you don’t like!

In the market for a chair, after sitting in the Mirra 2 for a bit I am starting to lean towards it. I am not 100% sure though if I'll hate the mesh after using an ergo chair for long hours. I am currently using some garbage chair and tend to slouch and create strain in my lower back often. It looks like that forward tilt feature and the seat pan adjustment would be extremely beneficial for me, but I'm still checking on other options.

[@michaeljoseph7160]

Thanks for this review, I appreciate it. Question, do you think the lumbar support on the Mirra 2 goes up higher into the midback area then any of the lumbar options for the Aeron remastered (i.e posture fit/lumbar pad etc) ? I'm essentially after a chair that gives good pressure support higher up into the midback area (that's just how my spine likes it) and also allows a straight to more forwards back tilt. I found that Aeron remastered does go nice and forward in the back tilt, however the posture fit I tried was more focused on lower back pressure and didn't come up the back high enough where I like it. Appreciate any other recommendations you might have. Cheers

@@freedonx Damn, were you not able to try the Fern out earlier on?

[@freedonx]

​@@StardustLegacyFighter Wasn't even aware of the brands. When I finally took the decision I needed to pay 1,600 for a chair. HM was a brand many friends told me about So I started a 20 hours research reading and listenging to different HM chairs. Many case scenarios and so forth. Was initially between Mirra 2 and Aeron...when I arrived at the store and felt Mirra 2 wasn't for me, and there was another called Embody. So that started ANOTHER 15 hour research comparing Aeron and Embody. Really didn't notice there were other brands. Now...don't get me wrong, the Embody is a great chair. Just noticed Fern's cushion was more comfortable and the armreset could be set a bit higher. HOWEVER they are a bit more far apart (maybe the version I tried didn't have adjustable arms). ALSO CONSIDER...don't think Embody/Fern because are more expensive are better chairs for your body. Mirra 2 is a solid chair, and of course Aeron. You have to try them out for 2 hours each to really test them. Let your back, thighs and legs make the decision

[@StardustLegacyFighter]

@freedonx Ah I see, I was fortunate enough to know about Steelcase and Haworth, thanks to coming across Ahnestly and also BTOD via KZbin. For me, knowing about these other brands didn't make any difference, since Steelcase reduced their warranty to 5 years in the EMEA, and Haworth has very limited chairs available here in the UK. I tried the Mirra 2 first, since it's a chair I got to try out at my friend's office, and I had a great first impression of it. Unfortunately, once I got my own Mirra 2, the seat pan wasn't large enough, and I experienced quite a bit of thigh pain. So I decided to swap it for the Aeron remastered size c, and that ended up being the best decision for me.

Thank you very much for the good content and review. I really need your advice. Last year I bought 2 mid range chairs from Every and Loeffler but they were very uncomfortable and hence returned. Aggressive lumbar, bad seat and … so I decided to spend more. Haworth and Steelcase offer poor warranty in Europe and I've heard a lot of bad comments about the Haworth's quality control in Europe. I simply cannot settle down for a s***ty warranty, when paying for a high end chair. That leaves HM as the only reputable brand with 12 year warranty in Europe. There are a lot of complains about those 2 hard nodes at the back of the Embody, which you mentioned in one of your reviews as well. What would you say for the comparison between Aeron and Mirra 2?

Remastered or classic? If remastered, I’d say start at $1,100! And then go down by like $50 every 2 weeks it doesn’t get sold

i have the logitech embody and would never change it but this does look decent.

I placed an order for a classic Aeron size B fully loaded (refurb, £650) and I'm so torn... I'm 6'2 220lbs. I can get a Mirra 2 fully loaded also refurb for £550. Will the Mirra 2 be more suited to my size?

[@florealucian1743]

Did you test aeron B? I am 184 cm 92 kg (190lbs i think) and I think C would fit me better

[@SlabbyMess]

Is the Aeron smaller and less comfortable for bigger people?

[@hikikomorphi]

I'm trying to buy a new chair. The forward tilt on this chair is really nice to relieve some pressure on the back of my legs but the tailbone issue you mentioned is deterring me from buying it...still looking. Any tips? Forward tilt is super important to me because it seems like every chair I've ever sat in digs into the back of my thighs more than I would like cutting off circulation. Mesh or padding doesn't matter to me but I think padding may be nicer because I like to sit how your wife does cross legged and I think all meshes seem to have a hard rim which disables that. I'm kind of leaning toward the Steelcase Gesture because it has a big ass seat and you said it doesn't feel like a plastic plate when bottoming out but I'm not sure.

[@Ahnestly]

Hey! The gesture doesn’t have a tilt forward. I think the chair options you have are the HM Sayl, the Haworth Fern, the Haworth Zody, and the Haworth Soji are all in line with what you’re looking for! I have reviews on each, but my favorite of the bunch is the Haworth fern! I like the other chairs too, but the Fern is the most premium of all of them!

[@hikikomorphi]

@@Ahnestly I've been watching all the videos lol thanks for everything. The Hayworth Fern and Steelcase Amia look great tbh. The Amia is really appealing but it doesn't seem to have the forward tilt :( I actually don't really care for arms on my chairs at all, might be odd dunno, but the Amia actually has the option to remove the arms and knocks off $200. I've had chairs in the past and just removed the arms myself. I wish the Fern had the option to remove the arms to save some money. Thanks for the videos again.

[@StardustLegacyFighter]

Atlas is making one, should be out at the end of the year iirc.

[@MrMega200]

Personally as a tall guy I never had a problem with the plastic in the lower back and hip. In fact I found it to be one of the few chairs to give me support without pressing my L1 because it gave away to my back and flexes. Unfortunately as an 6'2" guy, I found out that I am too wide for the seat and found that the seat front edge digs into my quads. I found that the front edge curves way too quickly. I wish they made an XL version where it would be about 2 inches wider. If it was like that I think I would of kept it forever. Compared to the Embody the Mirra 2 is massively better for the back but I wish it had the seat size but the same mesh so you could shift around as I find myself doing in a chair. I tried the Embody as well and it was that hard plastic in the hip area of the back and the mesh like seat that doesn't stretch as well as pure mesh

[@matheusdasilvaprimo5870]

What is your weight? I’m the same height as you and my back is killing me so i was wondering if this is a good choice for me.

[@Ahnestly]

@matheusdasilvaprimo5870 are you in the USA? If so, just get it and return it if you don’t like it. They have an excellent return policy! Can’t know until you try! And please consider using my links, it helps the channel a LOT!

[@MrMega200]

@@matheusdasilvaprimo5870 If you have a fairly normal weight for your height I'd highly recommend picking one up. Only reason why it didn't work for me is because when I normally sit my legs go bow outwards slightly and it was putting pressure on my thighs as they hit the seat frame. If you are similar to me in being 6"2" and 250 pounds then the Cosm is the better choice despite the higher cost. The entire chair is about 2 inches wider in the seat and back. I feel no pressure at all at my tailbone in it. This was true for the Mirra 2 as well but the thigh pressure ruined it for me as it wasn't comfortable in that area. But the Mirra 2 plastic back was heaven to me. It just gives away without pushing back and I didn't need any lumbar support as my tailbone area there doesn't respond kindly to any pressure. It basically acted just like mesh to me. That plastic isn't like those cheap stiff plastic lawn chairs.

[@Criiies]

I feel like your audience misunderstood the poll as referring to the chairs backrest. There's no way mesh seat chairs have such popularity.

[@Ahnestly]

You’d be surprised! Mesh seats are incredibly popular due to breathability and some people find it much more comfortable

[@BlackDeath91290]

im 5 11 do u recommend this or the fern with mesh back

[@Ahnestly]

Fern for max comfort and plushier lumbar (if you opt for lumbar upgrade!). Sale for haworth starts tomorrow, so wait til then and please consider using my link if you decide to pick up! Helps the channel a lot!!!

[@BlackDeath91290]

@@Ahnestly thx for the help bro , i can also get the steelcase gesture for almost the same price do u recommend it over the firm (i dont like chairs with strong or aggressive lumbar support)

[@Ahnestly]

I think the fern without lumbar is better than the gesture, but the gesture is also a solid option. The main issue with Fern is if you are tall or have long legs, you can feel the gap if you extend the seat out. The gesture you won’t feel it at all, but the seat pad bottoms out if you’re heavy.

[@Ahnestly]

Steelcase is currently on sale til the 5th. My recommendation - order both and return the one you don’t like! (Please consider using my links for both, even if you return - helps the channel a lot!)

don't buy H&M unless you can try them (plot twist : you can't) : they are fragile (my mirra 2 broke after 4 months : the triflex thing started to crack) and awfully uncomfortable (your leg will hurt if you are a bit bigger than average and the plastic frame will prevent you from speading your legs freely). I switched to a lesser known brand and I had so much more value for the money

You can try HM! They offer a 14 day free return period.
