After having serious work-related injuries to my back identified,
my employer has offered to let me choose a new office chair on
Sit4Less.com. They offer the Aeron, the SteelCase Leap, the
Humanscale Freedom, and a few others. Can anyone personally
recommend a chair that provides a lot of back support and stays
comfortable all day? I'm not sure which one's best for me. My
doctor said that as long as it has very good lumbar and sacral
support, it will be a big improvement. I'll be able to return the
chair I buy if it does not work out for me.

Thanks
Kyle

The Aeron has won tons of awards, and everyone I know wants
one. I've sat in one at my friend's office, and it was very
comfortable and seemed very adjustable. I haven't heard of those
other chairs. I looked at the website you mentioned, and it says
you can return a chair for up to a year, so you can just try one
out and then send it back. It's cool that your boss is giving you a
choice.

Wired magazine had a review of Aeron, Leap, Freedom and they chose the
Freedom. I bought my Freedom chair after having to sit in an Aeron at
work for a year.

Aeron puts your full weight on the two inflection points of the mesh
and is difficult to sit in for long periods of time...not to mention
all those knobs and levers that make adjusting it a science.

The Freedom chair is a breeze to adjust and very, very comfortable for
long periods of time. Make sure you get the advanced arm rests with
gel and the headrest is a worthwhile investment too.

Go for the Freedom chair...you won't be sorry.
