Full Disclaimer: At Egyptian, we do sell some of the chairs listed below. This article was based solely on publicly available third-party information and not our own opinions in any way.
Initially released in the early 1990s, Herman Miller’s Aeron is the original ergonomic office chair. In 2014, it was reimagined to retain its health-positive features and blend seamlessly into the modern office.
While it may not offer some of the adjustments that newer office chairs have, the Aeron does have an adjustable lumbar support, an adjustable tilt and seat angle, and a breathable seat and backrest for superior back support.
The Aeron is available with fixed, height-adjustable, and fully adjustable armrests. It also comes in three different sizes to fit a wide scope of users:
As a Herman Miller product, the Aeron is built in a 100% green-energy facility and has a 12-year warranty that covers casters, pneumatic cylinders, tilts, and all moving mechanisms.
The Aeron has an easy, big range of recline for an office chair. The tilt tension lets you adjust the amount of weight it takes to let the chair slide back. Once it’s adjusted, you can sink slowly backward perfectly.
The Aeron is made up of Pellicle fabric that allows air and body heat to pass through the seat and backrest to maintain ventilation and cooling comfort.
The Aeron uses PostureFit SL technology to stabilize the base of the spine to provide ergonomic support and improve posture.
Ranging from $650 to $900 in price, the Aeron isn't a great value since it lacks a lot of the adjustments that top-of-the-line task chairs already have.
The Aeron lacks features such as a seat depth adjustment and a back-height adjustment, which usually come standard with other ergonomic task chairs.
The Aeron’s armrests have some padding, but they can be hard to adjust because the lever mechanism is located on the back and requires both hands to operate.
The Mirra 2 is designed to move with and be one with your body. With intuitive adjustments that adapt to your slightest movements, this chair combines comfort with personalized ergonomics in a sophisticated design.
Even though it's less expensive than the Aeron, the Mirra 2 is Herman Miller’s most adjustable office chair. Some of its best features are the PostureFit adjustable lumbar support and TriFlex Back.
With a maximum weight limit of 350 pounds and a durable, lightweight design, the Mirra 2 can fit everyone between the 5th and 95th percentile:
Like the Aeron, the Mirra 2 is made in Michigan and has a 12-year warranty that covers all parts. It also has a ventilated seat and backrest to keep your employees cool, particularly in the warmer months.
The Mirra 2 has ergonomic adjustments that work for a wide range of people and applications, including the Harmonic 2 tilt tension, the AirWeave Seat Suspension, and the Butterfly Back.
The Mirra 2 is solid, functions smoothly, and is made up of parts that are made to last and fit together like they’re supposed to.
The Mirra 2's four-way adjustable armrests have soft padding and a natural front slope that provide users with all-day comfort.
Priced anywhere from $650 and $900, the Mirra 2 may cost less than other Herman Miller chairs, but it's still expensive.
Mesh seats aren't designed for everyone. If you’re not a fan of mesh or prefer padding, you may want to consider an alternative to the Mirra 2.
The Mirra 2's fully adjustable armrests may be too far apart for shorter users, and the recline tension adjustment can be difficult to turn.
In a world where sitting for long periods of time is necessary in the workplace, Herman Miller’s Embody actually improves your health while you sit. In fact, the human-back inspired design was created with the input of more than 30 physicians.
Apart from its eye-catching design, the Embody also has a layered seat and personalized adjustments to promote pressure distribution, natural alignment, and healthy movement, even if you’re sitting all day, every day.
Made of 95% recycled content, the Embody is has a 300-pound weight limit and is designed to fit users between the 5th and 98th percentile:
As a Herman Miller product, the Embody is made in the USA and covered by a 12-year warranty. It’s available with no arms or fully adjustable arms, and 2.5-inch casters for hard floors or carpet.
The Embody automatically adjusts to the body’s movements, distributing body weight evenly to reduce pressure and encourage healthy movement.
With its pixelated support, the Embody’s seat and back surfaces automatically conform to your body’s movements, distributing weight evenly as you sit.
The Embody’s seat is made up of four different layers that work together to reduce pressure and allow for airflow, keeping you cool and comfortable as you sit.
The Embody's armrests are attached to the backrest and pull away when you recline, making it harder to maintain forearm support while typing.
The Embody has adjustments that aren't easy to use. The armrests lack depth and pivot adjustments, and the seat depth adjustment is difficult to adjust.
As compared to similarly priced office chairs that can be used straight out of the box, the Embody does require some assembly.
Knoll’s Generation replaces the notions of how people should sit with the support they need to work freely. The innovative, elastic design gives you the flexibility and comfort you need to sit and work however you choose.
As the first chair of its kind, the Generation promotes unrestrained movements with a frameless flex back, frameless flex seat, Tilt Preference Selector, Dynamic Suspension, and a continuous lumbar support.
The Generation is simply designed and has only three controls. It’s a one-size-fits-all that’s tested and approved for users weighing up to 300 pounds:
The Generation is warranted for 12-year, 24-7, multi-shift use. This warranty covers all components of the chair except for seating upholstery, textiles, leathers, and finishes.
With its flexible backrest, soft seat edge, and cantilevered armrests, the Generation is designed to accommodate users of different postures.
The Generation offers adjustments such the tilt preference selector for three ranges of recline movement and the Dynamic Suspension for smooth recline.
The Generation is simply designed with only three controls to adjust. The wide lower back supports every shape so users can sit however you want.
There have been some reports of build-quality issues with the Generation. For example, the plastic straps the backrest are prone to breaking when users stand over the chair and move it forward.
The armrests on the Generation are made of low-quality plastic that’s thin and easy to crack, so the arms may not stay in place like they’re supposed to.
The Generation’s seat pan can rise significantly and lift users’ feet off the ground, causing pressure under the thighs. The arms can also pull away from the work surface and make it hard to maintain forearm support while typing.
Knoll’s K is a highly adaptable and affordable task chair that meets the demands of the modern workplace. The double-layer mesh and cushioned seat provide top-notch comfort, while the simple design fits any office aesthetic.
Whether you’re looking for a chair with simple adjustments or just want to save some money, the K is a great option. It comes with standard features such as a seat height adjustment, seat depth adjustment, and tilt tension.
The K is available with either fixed or height-adjustable armrests, as well as a high-performance lumbar support. It’s designed to support users weighing up to 300 pounds:
As a Knoll product, the K is covered by a 12-year, 24-7 use warranty. It also has a five-point tilt lock that lets you move the chair in five different positions, including upright or reclined.
The K’s waterfall seat edge allows for unrestricted movement to support different postures and provide all-day comfort.
The K has a double-layer mesh backrest and seat cushion, combining the comfort of knit with the rigidity of mesh for continuous support.
The synchronized tilt tension provides users with a smooth, easy recline with only one turn of the tension dial.
The lumbar is somewhat stiff and prohibits movement in the back. The tension knob can also be very stiff and hard to turn.
When a user reclines in the K, the mechanism may drop significantly and move them away from their monitor, keeping them away from their work.
According to some reviews, the arm height adjustment can be difficult to move. It can also make an extremely loud noise when the user moves the arms up or down.
With its innovative, highly adjustable lower back support, the Zody is designed to help people feel good at work. In fact, it was the first task chair to be endorsed by the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA).
For anyone with lower back pain, the Zody is the perfect solution. It has adjustments such as a Pelvic and Asymmetrical Lumbar (PAL) system and a tilt tension control to improve posture and physical health every day.
Light in scale, the Zody has easy, labeled adjustments and a maximum weight limit of 350 pounds to accommodate 95% of users:
Made from 42% recycled content, the Zody is covered by Haworth’s 12-year, 24-7 warranty. It comes with fixed arms, height adjustable arms, 4D adjustable arms, or no arms at all, as well as an optional backstop.
As the only office chair with an asymmetrical back support, you can adjust the Zody's lumbar support on the left and right side of your back for additional comfort.
The Zody's backrest is composed of a woven polyester mesh that provides support, flexibility, and six different reclines to choose from.
The Zody offers adjustments as a waterfall seat edge to minimize pressure behind your legs, and an optional headrest for contoured ergonomic support.
The Zody's PAL system and lumbar support are both made of plastic, so they’re more likely to break.
Some of the adjustments don’t work exactly like they’re supposed to. The arms move easily, and the forward tilt option doesn't lock into place correctly.
When reclining in the chair, the backrest won’t flex to fit your spine, causing a gap in your lower back and the backrest.
Haworth’s Soji is a highly adjustable task chair that syncs your body and mind the second you sit. It marries comfort and elegance to provide more ergonomic features and customization options than other Haworth chairs do.
Featuring adjustments such as a height-adjustable lumbar support, waterfall seat edge, forward tilt tension, and synchronized tilt mechanism with a backlog, the Soji fits a wide spectrum of users.
The Soji has simple, easy-to-use controls for user customization and a maximum weight limit of 325 pounds:
The Soji is covered by Haworth’s 12-year, 24-7 warranty. It’s also one of the only task chairs in its price range to be BIFMA-G1-2013 and Greenguard certified.
The Soji adjusts effortlessly and provides users with essential adjustments such as the tilt tension control and forward tilt.
With a mesh backrest that increases airflow and a waterfall seat edge to minimize pressure, the Soji is extremely comfortable.
The Soji is highly customizable. The standard knit back option comes in 11 colors, and the upholstered back option is offered in Haworth fabrics, leathers, and faux leathers.
The Soji’s arm caps are soft and comfortable, but they do have a hard edge that could easily be damaged.
The mesh on the backrest is loose and may not adequately support users. Plus, the mesh can hammock users and discourage them from moving frequently throughout the day.
Despite how adjustable it is, the Soji may not be the best option for shared workspaces where users may have to constantly readjust their seat.
Haworth’s Fern provides a comfortable sitting experience that promotes optimal performance. Its innovative, edgeless design supports your entire back and envelopes your body to enhance how you sit.
To ensure you’re never distracted, the Fern has intuitive adjustments such as the Wave Suspension system, pressure mapping, an adjustable recline, a flexible frame, a high seat back, and four-way adjustable armrests.
The Fern’s controls are clearly visible and easy to operate. It also comes with optional features like a five-position backstop and a mechanism synchronized three-point tilt:
The Fern is built in a Zero Waste to Landfill manufacturing facility and comes equipped with a 12-year, 24-7 warranty.
Pressure mapping comfortably distributes pressure and support in key areas. It also promotes proper seated posture and comfort for long-term use.
The Fern has a flexible frame on the seat back that for dynamic back support. It also moves with the user to provide extra support in upright, reclined, and leaning positions.
The Fern’s armrests are highly adjustable. They can be raised and lowered, pivoted in and out, and moved forward or back to accommodate users.
Costing anywhere between $750 and $1200, the Fern is significantly more expensive than other task chairs on the market.
The Fern comes with a lot of adjustment options, including nine different levers and several knobs. With all these options, it’s more likely that something on the chair will break sooner than later.
The Fern’s tension mechanism requires at least 25 turns to find the right position. Unfortunately, there’s no easy way to seamlessly transition from an upright position to a recline position.

Instead of sacrificing features, the Series 1 provides essential adjustments such as Integrated LiveBack Technology, an advanced weight-activated mechanism, a comfort dial back control, and 4D adjustable arms.

The Series 1 encourages movement with Integrated LiveBack Technology, a system of backrest flexors that provide proper, responsive support.
Adaptive bolstering allows the Series 1seat cushion to adjust to every user's unique body shape and provide dynamic support as postures change.
Starting in the high $300s, the Series 1 is the most affordable task chair in the Steelcase seating portfolio.
According to some reviews, the armrests are too easy to move and somewhat flimsy. They're also on the wider side, which may be an issue for more petite users.
The Series 1 provides a lot of ergonomic support for a chair in its price range, but it may not be the most comfortable option for hours of extended use.
Although the Series 1 has a comfort dial with three recline settings, the options are limited and may not provide the exact amount of recline you need.

With adaptive seat bolstering, the Series 1 conforms to every user’s unique shape to provide instant comfort.
Priced in the high $300s to low $400s, the Series 2 is a mid-market option that’s affordably priced without compromising ergonomic features and support.
Since the Series 2 is so new, there’s a lack of information available online, and there aren’t any reviews from real-life users yet.
Unfortunately, this means you won’t be able to find a lot of information about potential flaws or defects at this time.

The Amia has a height-adjustable lumbar support that can be raised lower or higher for extra comfort, as well as a flexible seat edge to relieve pressure when you recline or lean forward.

The Think offers a minimal number of adjustments that are simple and easy to use, so you can freely adjust and move as needed.
Priced in the low $500s to the high $600s, the Think lacks the value and performance advantages that other Steelcase chairs offer.
While the Think does have stock recline settings, these options can be flimsy and too easy to recline with.
There may also be a significant amount of overhang when the arms are adjusted all the way in, which can break easily if you apply too much pressure.

Now that you have a list of options, how do you choose the perfect office chair?
The truth is, it can be challenging to pick a chair when you've only read about it. To find the chair that fits you best, you may want to sit in it for a couple of hours and test the adjustments for yourself.
Luckily, you can do just that with our Chair Test Drive Program. If you plan on buying ten chairs or more, you can test up to three for one week. After you choose your chairs, a workspace partner will deliver them to you and even perform an on-site demo!
