Of the three top desk chairs available today (Aeron Chair by Herman Miller, Leap Chair by Steelcase, Freedom Chair by Humanscale) - we’re going to discuss which one is the best available desk chair in the marketplace.

The science of ergonomics understands what equipment design can mean to both short-term and long-term health and wellness. In fact, once you’ve experienced the soothing embrace of an ergonomic desk chair, the pedestrian, on-sale-for-$49.99 office chair will seem more like punishment than a place to rest your weary bones.

Many manufactureres have tried to corner the ergonomic desk chair marketplace. The Aeron chair by Herman Miller is one of the leading trailblazers. Aeron chairs come customized in three different sizes which fit the different body contours of the general population.

The Herman Miller Aeron Chair sports a tilt mechanism that facilitates effortless weight shifts and reduces strain on both your back and neck. The adjustable back lumbar pads reinforce back support. Aeron chairs’ arms are likewise adjustable to match your particular height requirements. Herman Miller’s patented Pellicle mesh material allows more airflow & better distribution of shifting body weights. This is a high quality chair, very pricey, but perhaps just a tad bit old-fashioned in light of recent innovations.

The Leap chair by Steelcase is another ergonomic competitor garnering good review. This chair’s ergonomic design allows it to move as your spine moves. Unlike cheap “unergonomic” chairs, this chair moves when you move your back. The chair moves as your move your arms.

The Embody chair is a third highly regarded player in the ergonomic desk chair arena. It champions both contemporary style—visual appeal—and up to date ergonomic technologies. Embody chairs’ backs are “S” shaped, not to boast any “Super Chair” status, but to neatly harmonize with the spine’s comparable curvature. Embody chairs are also manufactured with nearly 100% recyclable materials, which is greatly prized in today’s culture of waste.

And last, but certainly not least, is the Freedom chair, which boasts an unbeatable one-two punch of maximum ergonomic advantages and minimal fine-tuning. Simplicity of the Freedom Chair is that once you set your personal settings, you can forget about it and enjoy sitting. The Freedom chair is known for its free movements, which helps the user conserve energy, reduce stress & promotes overall physical well-being. And that constantly fiddling with adjustments and locking devices interferes with effortless movements and sustained comfort.

The Freedom Chair by Humanscale is an ergonomic marvel, truly made for the 21st century. It supplies all of the best features of its more elaborate competitor chairs like the Aeron and Leap, but is sans any mechanisms and controls. The Aeron, Leap, and Embody chairs are all topnotch, but the Freedom chair has definitely blazed new ground by combining ergonomic comforts with exceptional user-friendliness.
