I was REALLY surprised that the video started right away. No intro, no talking, no unnecessary bullsht. In today's age, that is AMAZING. Top quality stuff.

Love how quick and no-nonsense this video is. Tier lists don't need to have an intro!

My advice for anyone trying to get a desktop chair is go to an actual store. I was about to buy online based on reviews but something told me to just go to the store instead. I found the experience much like going to get a mattress. It’s best to try for yourself before buying as every body has different needs. What’s comfy for others might be torture for you. I went to the store thinking I would get one chair and walked out with something completely different. You can always check online for the same chair you liked in person to see if you find a better deal. So glad i went.

Glad you guys also loved the Embody -- I went through trying 10 different office chairs, a lot of them expensive, until also making the same conclusion that the Embody is the most comfortable chair for office or gaming use. Since switching to one right at the start of COVID, I no longer get any back pain. It's the only chair I've ever used that you can sit in for 12+ hours and feel completely fine the next day with no soreness or stiffness. S-Tier all the way.

Just bought my Leap V2 because of you guys. Thank you again, can't wait to get it! I work from home and spend 12-18 hours a day in my chair. I NEED THIS!

I watched a lot of these videos and ended up going with the Embody last year. Finding the perfect chair for me was a difficult task! I'm 6'3, 215lbs and pretty wide lower body. Tried multiple chairs, and the Embody is hands down the best chair I've owned or sat in. It's the only seat wide enough, has decent seat depth (would like 1 more inch) and comfort is just off the charts. When I get up from this chair, it doesn't even feel like I've been sitting, whether it's been 1 hour or 8. The price is completely bonkers and cost more than my computer, but at the end of the day, invest in your health!

had herman miller aeron chair with headrest for 7 years and counting. great comfort for small built like me. lockable recline. mesh seats, for ventilation unlike foams seats/cushions that absorbs sweat for long periods of seating. so, comfort and hygiene is definitely an edge.

As someone who is currently suffering through the post purchase of a Secret Labs Titan, I appreciate this list of straightforward reviews of office chairs. I agree with everything you listed about the Titan; hard as a rock, stiff, mediocre recline and adjustability. I have never had a chair cause me so much pain. I literally have 3 support cushions and it barely makes the chair useable.

S Tier Chairs @ 0:01, 9:18, and 18:38 + the Leap @ 6:37

Another solid tier list video guys. 👍

I don't think I've ever seen a gaming chair in the B tier before, but considering how the Mavix M9 looks absolutely nothing like a racing car seat, speaks volumes.

[mpad]

Dude said, "Nueue, Jose you should buy this chair!" 😂 earned my like with that joke!

[falsesilence]

The Haworth fern digital knit, with lumbar support, has single-handedly eliminated my discomfort while siting for work. I have medical related back issues and this has dramatically improved my sitting experience.

[deathabve]

Wow This must be a lot of preference. 15:41 Staples Hyken is my chair and has been for 7 years now, I absolutely love this chair specifically the way the mesh sits I find so comfortable.

[danielclark]

All I want is a room somewhere, far away from the cold night air, with a Herman Miller chair, oh wouldn’t it be lovely

[mutasimrahman]

I personally like the stiffness of the secret lab. I guess it's personal preference

[wrenchviking]

Oddly enough, the Hyken is great for me. I work from home and I'm also a PC gamer, so I spend a LOT of time in the one I have. Mine is about 3 years old and I sit in it every day. I'm a bigger guy, at 5'10" and 240lbs and I don't contact the frame at all. The mesh is compliant but still supportive. What I ended up changing about it was actually the casters and adding armrest pads. Still, for the money, even with the changes, I'm perfectly happy with it.

[xCrnus]

Awesome deserves an A+ category IMO. Chair is nearly perfect but the new models could do with a more custom adjustable lumbar support.

[DramaticSilhouette]

I wish your chair reviews/rankings included more diversity in body types. All three of you are 6+ feet tall men, but I'm a 5'1" lady and want to find a chair where my feet firmly touch the ground.

[mewimi]

I sit in the Aeron Remastered probably 16 hours a day for most of the week. I can tell you the main issue with it is probably the seat curvature and that you can't slide it forward or back. Thankfully this chair has corrected my neck pain, so I can say I love this chair a lot :3 ( S tier headrest add on also purchased separately for this chair, I forgot who made it though... )

I finally retired my Leap v2 after getting the Embody. I just purchased the Embody and Fern to do a side-by-side comparison, it was a hard decision but I ended up returning the Fern. Been using the Embody for about 2 months now and it's definitely an improvement over the Leap.
