I tried a Herman Miller Embody, a Steelcase Gesture, a Haworth Fern - twice!, a Haworth Zody, a SecretLabs Titan, and a Humanscale Freedom; so I'm not making the claim that this is the best chair out there lightly! Customer support was also amazing, as are the little extra touches in areas like packaging/shipping. I've had it for a month and a half and genuinely find most other seating uncomfortable by comparison now. As a software developer and a gamer, I spend more time than I should in a chair, even with frequent breaks, stretches, and using a standing desk at times. This helps immensely with comfort during those activities and I'm extremely happy with the purchase.

I've long sat on a lot of different chairs, from the basic, cheap ones you can find at Ikea, to moving to the Herman miller Aeron for a while thinking that it's really the best you can get out there after hearing all my friends rave about it and then pulling the trigger and getting it for my home office. I still had back pain and was constantly shifting around in my chair during the day, or taking breaks to go stand up and do something else instead of having 100% focus. We decided to get Anthros chairs for the office and it was love at first sit! The cushioning is next-level and you really don't have a feeling that you're even sitting. It's like the chair is holding your body in it's perfect, most natural position and I can do this for hours. No fidgeting, no back pain, no leg stiffness, just forgetting you even have bodyweight, if that even makes sense? Also, a shoutout to Ashley from the team who helped me dial in the chair perfectly! I honestly wasn't expecting this to be part of the service when we got the chairs. So, I've been going into the office a lot more lately.. Even with the commute, it's worth it, I'm getting more productive time, absolute comfort and not getting any back pain anymore like I did with the Aeron. The mesh looks cool, yeah, but honestly, this is so much more comfortable and it's worth every penny! I would rather give up 90% of my work gear than give this chair up ever again!

Much like a good couch or mattress for those of us who spend a lot of time in front of a computer the amount of time in a chair cannot be understated. If you want to make a solid health conscious decision get an ergo chair. I agree that there are some other entry level options (please don't get anything labeled "gaming") such as the Steelcase Leap or Herman Miller Aeron if you're looking to just get your "end game" chair the Anthros is truly unrivaled. Unless the company disappears I don't see myself being without one ever again and should that day ever come I'll be sure to try and stock up on a few spares and keep them in storage!

Those gamer embody chairs seem to ache a ton of tailbones in the community, mine just made my lumbar pain worse. This chair does not leave me feeling as stiff getting up as my Aeron/embody. Simon provided next level customer support leaving a good impression about the whole experience. I can tell they care about helping people out. Most comfortable computer ergonomic chair ever. True gamers must. The only reason this is not a perfect 5 stars is due to lack of neck support. Having a neck injury I find myself needing the support that the third party company (Atlas Headrest) provided on my Embody. Not everyone is like this and you may be use to not having neck support on your chair. It may Be your perfect 5 stars
