Hey guys, i was hoping someone can help me find a deal on a very comfortable chair.
I am looking for Herman miller type of comfort or a chair that claims similar technology in a comfortable/healthy chair but at SD value pricing...
thanks in advance. :-)

I'm looking for the same thing. Been researching the Aeron / Lifescale / etc. but the best price on those is always ~$500 through eBay resellers.

Would love to find a comparable chair without paying for the brand in the ~$200 range.

I just broke my Ergohuman chair ($600 chair got for $200 on Craigslist). I enjoyed it for two years before my girlfriend and I decided to "enjoy" it together. It was a good chair while it lasted...

I've heard that Staples or Officemax has a comparable fully-ergo chair for sub-$300...

let me offer my 3rd and 4th cents...

I have and use a Swopper, which is great. It's much more difficult to "cheat" like you can in an ergo chair with backrest (just slouching). I was sore for the first couple weeks of ownership; it does work your back muscles.

I also like (but don't own) the "saddle" stools. Very comfortable and I feel very task-oriented and efficient in it.

You can try them out in ergonomics/posture furniture stores, and I got my Swopper for 1/2 price because it was a last-year's-model (and floor model).

Got the chair yesterday, recommended for the price. 64.99 with FREE next day delivery. I use an Aeron at work and this one is obviously lower build quality but I have no complaints about comfort / support.
