Here it is on amazon
Staples Hyken Technical Mesh Task Chair (Black, Sold as 1 Each) - Adjustable Office Chair with Breathable Mesh Material, Provides Lumbar, arm and Head Support, Perfect Desk Chair for the Modern Office https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OCSNMO2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_2j7zFb44FJ28Z
I bought an Amazon Basic chair and I'm very satisfied with it. It's not a racing chair and has no gaming flair, so no increased fps, but it's really comfortable and affordable.
The Herman Miller Aeron is the gold standard.
However, I have a Alera Elusion from Amazon. It's got all the adjustability of a much more expensive chair; adjustable Seat pan, adjustable back, the seat pan angle and back reset angle are individually adjustable etc.
​
It is no Aeron but if you are on a budget, this is the best I have found.
No, you didn't say you had a mesh seat, or the Amazon Basics chair had a mesh seat, or the Ikea chair, or that you don't like mesh seats. You didn't address the chair material at all, that's apples to oranges. At least some in this thread are comparing OP chair to the Staples Hyken Technical Mesh Chair ($145), which is very similar.
If a leather cushion breathes (expels air when squished and inhales on release), that absorbs odors. Not sure how a see-thru web-mesh can absorb smells like that, but whatever.
For 65$, you can't go wrong with the amazon basic mesh back.. something something office chair.

I liked mine so much, I bought one for my mom. After over a year, I've yet to have an issue with it.
I got Alera elusion high back, very comfortable chair
I’ve used it for about 8 months now and it’s holding up nice. My brother got the same model after trying out mine. Biggest complaint I have is that it creaks when you roll around while sitting but not bad.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000Q5XTE8
I misremembered and looking at my order it was actually $170 when I bought it, but only $154 now. My only complaint is the mesh back has loosened a little bit, but it's still pretty comfortable.
Ah the headrest I purchased separately on Amazon. Its this one (H3 version for the classic Aeron model) https://smile.amazon.com/Engineered-Now-Headrest-Herman-Classic/dp/B005L9ATK6/ref=sr\_1\_5?dchild=1&keywords=herman%2Bmiller%2Bheron%2Bheadrest&qid=1624152771&sr=8-5&th=1

Bought second hand off of kijiji 💀💀💀
It's a decent chair, easy to clean/move, not adjustable, but 👍
My wife and I just bought these (I bought the slightly taller stool model) and they're remarkably quiet. Our old chairs were very squeaky -- these are downright stealthy.

Plus they're available in fun colors.
The second option is around 200 USD. I did find a much cheaper alternative, although it doesn't seem to have as much quality.

Amazon link I bought this chair. It has most of the ergonomics of an aeron but is $200. I have one at home and got work to buy me one. I like it quite a lot. You can also buy a headrest that screws on.
The Lorell Mesh Headrest has good reviews on Amazon. The Steelcase Leap v2 has a flat back, so you'll have to screw the headrest directly into the back of the chair.
Esta silla de Amazon Basics es la mejor silla que he tenido para el trabajo. A mi comúnmente me duele la espalda por estar sentado, y esta es en la que más tiempo aguanto sin problemas.
As everyone else has said, I definitely wouldn't recommend a gaming chair as their too expensive and not comfortable. I actually wouldn't recommend many "gamer" branded things in general, but I digress.
I would recommend an ergonomic office chair, and look for one that allows you to sit straight up. My chair (linked at bottom) has a lot of adjustable levers and allows me to adjust the back piece forward enough where I am supported when gaming/coding. It varies per person but I have a tendency to lean over and have bad posture at the desk, so having a great office chair is really important and will save you in the long run from posture problems.
Link to my chair on Amazon. I would recommend something similar to this.
I can't seem to find the exact model, but it's pretty similar to this one.
I highly recommend it if you spend a lot of time in front of the computer.
I have this one I think it made the chair more comfortable, support the same.
this chair has removable armrests: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0049UCECE?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
they are super easy to remove takes about 10 seconds don't need tools. (it's an amazing chair for the money can adjust everything).
I have an old Steelcase Leap v1, for reference. No good place to put the clamps. I pulled the back padding off the back a bit to make room for the clamps, tightened them down, then bolted the headrest to one of the angled holes on the clamps. Headrest extension pushed all the way down.
The reviews for the headrest clued me into which clamps to buy and there are some pictures there where they installed the headrest on other chairs with better mounting points for the clamps. The Leap v1 just isn't a good candidate for this, but I made it work. It's ugly as sin but nobody sees the back on my chair, so I don't care right now.
Honestly for a chair you're going to be working in 8 hours a day, you'll probably want an ergonomic chair. Everyone I've known with a gaming chair has said they're not comfortable for more then a few hours. I got this one when I was looking and absolutely love it for working from home 3 days a week, had it since 2020 and it's still in great shape and just as comfy https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OCSNMO2/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_E4PEA00EHKGKS6WD16JM?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Good on ya for not telling people where you live. Also I just thought, invest in a good chair if ya haven’t already, I bought this, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KUPS3JU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_K0QTZ3HE33R0YPG2M1FM?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 last year and it was the best choice I’ve ever made. Maybe don’t get one with a mesh seat cus stuff gets in there and it’s a pain in the ass to clean. May RNJesus be in your favor stranger.
Hi, I was looking for a headrest for the Mirra v1, but couldn't find one. So I bought the Lorell headrest on Amazon and designed a 3D-printed adapter to be used with the Mirra 1: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00P85C6OU/ref=ppx\_yo\_dt\_b\_asin\_title\_o00\_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
3D-printed adapter: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5400368
I hope this helps someone!
I bought this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00P85C6OU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and a couple of screws and hex nuts to fasten it to the chair. Also got a couple of rubber washers to prevent damage to the chair. it's slightly ugly, but also WAYYYYY cheaper the OEM headrest. PM me if you want pics.
I got one off Amazon. Lorell Hi-Back Chair Mesh Headrest, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00P85C6OU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_YASEYFEQTERATWK7ANX7
I also got different hardware that wouldn’t pierce too far into the chair back.
I got this chair a june 6, 2020, and it's held up great and is generally quite comfortable. Definitely well built with a lot of adjustment, recline, headrest, and a wide seat base. The only problem is I don't have much asscheek and the padding doesn't cut it for me anymore so i had to get another seat cushion to put on it.
If you don't like mesh then there's that potential factor becoming an issue, but i prefer it because i can stay cool.
If the padding was just an inch thicker with a 1" taller back i would have actually preferred it to a herman Miller. I'm 6'1" 200lbs.
I just checked it out and it looks great! The only problem is it doesn't look like is has as much padding as I'd like. I want something softer like this...

It’s pretty solid. I got it on a auction site for $40, so definitely a steal on $330. I wish the seat part was more cushy, why I need the extra support pad there
There are a lot of nice looking task chairs on Amazon in the $150-$500 range. Judging by the reviews they dont start getting durable and reliable until the $300ish range.
Something like this for instance looks like it would last a while if you don't mind paying $400
ah, i read headsets lol, and amazon link
I use an Raynor Ergohuman. I only need to replace a single armrest after owning it for 6 years and using it every day.
You will not regret getting into spendy ergo chairs like Ergohuman and Herman Miller.
Try the Hyken from Staples if you're not insane like me.
I recommend the WorkPro Quantum 9000. Can be found for $400-500 but I got really lucky and bought it on sale awhile back.
Also get the version with the headrest if you can. If not, you can purchase something like this and get c-clamps. It's not the most sturdy thing ever but it gets the job done.
I used this Lorell headrest from Amazon Literally drilled holes in the back, got some nuts and screwed onto the bolts that came with the headrest and voila

Nice work!
The lamp cord hanging out distracts a bit -- but its hard to find a proper clean/minimal lamp (I still havn't).
I love the aeron chair but hate that it lacks a headrest, I bought this one 2 years ago: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005L9ATK6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
No worries ... BTW ... went back and looked at my Amazon orders and this is the exact one that I bought for my Aeron back in 2013 ... I think there are several different companies making them now but this one has stood the test of time quite well: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005L9ATK6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
For people who dislike Herman Miller chairs, I recommend this Duramont chair with adjustable everything. Herman Miller chairs are too low-backed for me, and I hate the arm rests - the Duramont shape is a better fit for my body and took very few adjustments to get right.
Duramont with adjustable everything. I've long used some of the cheaper suggestions on Amazon but was getting really sore after sitting in them for longer periods of time during WFH, probably in large part due to bad posture - but they generally have seats that lose their bounce after several hours of continuous use, and minimal back support.
The high back on the Duramont means you get an actually usable neck rest and much better back support. The seat is comfortable for 12+ hours. Adjustable arms are non-negotiable, IMO, and the shape of these armrests has a nice cradle for you to rest on. I like this chair so much I replaced all our desk chairs with it after a few weeks of use.
I have used most Herman Miller chairs and this one knocks them out of the park at a fraction of the price, imo - but I low-key hate Herman Millers and literally prefer hard wood chairs. For me, Herman Millers are far too low backed for day-long use in front of a desk, and the armrests are incomprehensibly shaped. I'd look through some catalogs and try to identify what you've like in the office in the past - once I realized I never had a nice high-backed chair and figured out my issues with the Herman Millers, it was an easy to find a chair with the features I wanted!
The Original Headrest for The Herman Miller Aeron Chair H3 Carbon | Colors and Mesh Match Classic Aeron Chair 2016 and Earlier Models | Headrest ONLY https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005L9ATK6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_6fqFsyEzjDf9s
Here's some options that I'm considering right now:
1) amazon.com/gp/product/B00P85C6OU/
I currently have this on a tempur-pedic, so I know that it's comfortable and I prefer mesh in general. This would not be able to mount directly onto the chair so I would attach two plastic C-clamps to the chair and drill the headrest into the C-clamps. Since there is no forward-back adjustment on this headrest I'd use a heat gun to bend the column to get the right adjustment (I did this to the tempur pedic one to adjust it further back.
2) amazon.com/dp/B09D8K8THY
This looks like it may be able to screw right into the back the plastic frame at the top of the backrest. Obviously it would void the warranty and the metal fasteners would clamp down on the mesh back at the top and deform them, which maybe could cause damage or alter how the shape of the mesh/how the backrest feels.
Unless you have particularly long legs for your frame, I suspect your old Aeron couldn't raise up to its max height which is easily high enough for a 6' tall person to keep their lower legs perpendicular to the floor.
The average 6' tall person should have their computer desk at about 27" high. I suspect you may be straining to sit up straight full-time, which leads to pain over time. If you can lower your worksurface, this will help you sit back and get support from your backrest, relax your shoulders, maybe take some pressure off your vulnerable wrists and forearms, etc. Alternatively, you can install you can sit a little higher and use a footrest to compensate.
For sciatica, it is recommended to sit with your knees level or even slightly below your hips, the latter of which is made possible using forward seat tilt. Most high-end chairs these days, including the Leap, have synchrotilt mechanisms which do not allow for forward seat tilt. Synchrotilt mechanisms tilt the seat backward as you lean back, bringing your knees above your hips.
I think you would be best served by an office chair with a multifunction mechanism which allows you to set the seat and backrest angles independently. If price is no object, Neutral Posture and Bodybilt make the best multifunction chairs on the US market today. At under $300, you can get an Alera Elusion High Back or a Lorell LLR62000 (the former has average lumbar support tension, latter has provides pronounced lumbar support).
This one but there’s plenty of variations on this style on Amazon. Love it.

If headrest isn't an absolute must for you, go with the Alera Elusion High-Back Multifunction or the Lorell Conjure LLR62000, the latter if you'd like particularly strong lumbar support. Both chairs sit high, have height-adjustable backrests, have armrests that adjust low and way wide (functionally out of the way), seat depth adjustment, and infinite back and seat tilt angle locks (including fully upright or even forward tilt).

Working pretty well for me for 10 months now. Height adjustable.. but no head support.
> he same garbage for the most part. It's either "mega comfy leather chair that starts peeling within a year" or "cushioning is gone within a few months"

Hello guys,
Really love that so many redditors brainstorming a solution for a Leap V2 headrest.
I just got a second hand Steelcase Leap V2. Going to attempt to 3d model and print an attachment for this headrest. Hopefully add support for adjustable headrest depth. I wanna avoid drilling/screws. Might use some 3M VHB double-sided tape.
This is what I ordered: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00P85C6OU?psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&ref_=chk_typ_imgToDp
Somehow, it’s cheaper to order from USA shipped to Canada than amazon.ca
Wish me luck. 👷♂️🦫
I love this chair. I've had it for a year now. No foot rest. I wanted the mesh seat over cushion.
I recently got this chair from Amazon and it’s worked great for playing at my desk! The arms swivel up for playing, and you can put them back down for normal use.
I’m pretty sure it’s this one
I ordered it a few months back and returned it literally the next day, very uncomfortable and should cost around 50$ instead of 300$
I am currently using this Lorell headrest for my Haworth Zody. While you will have to get separate clamps to fit them, they match my chair perfectly and looks factory. What chair are you planning to fit yours on?
It’s a basic office chair from amazon. It’s not the most comfortable, but it does the job for me.
I know this is a tad old but I had a decent experience with the Alera series office chairs. I did go with the simpler version of the one you posted (less adjustment knobs) and would suggest their high back version if you can afford it HERE
I did end up moving to a Steelcase Leap V2 and would HIGHLY recommend getting a refurbished model from someone like Crandall as they offer a 12 year warranty on a really well refurbished chair.
I understand if it's too expensive up front, but would still advise the high back version of the Alera as it was my biggest gripe (even with the height adjustability I figured out existed way too late into its life).
Edit: The Alera was also HELLA squeaky compared to the Steelcase even after it was lubricated with a silicon based lubricant
Thanks! The headrest is absolutely an essential accessory for me. I don’t find it particularly useful for me when I’m sitting up straight doing actual work. Where it really shines is when I’m off the clock lounging around at my leisure where I can typically be found leaning all the way back in my Aeron for extended periods of time reading, watching a movie, or whatever. I don’t remember being able to do this comfortably without a headrest. I paid over $150 for mine which admittedly is a bit steep. Yet, despite this, I can’t imagine having an Aeron without it. But that’s just me and how I use it. At the very least, I think it’s worth trialing out.
Here’s the Amazon US link, in case you wanna research and check it out yourself: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005L9ATK6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1&pldnSite=1

I didn't want a "gaming chair" (I don't really like the aesthetic of them), and I needed something to support my (at the time), shall we say "impressive physique"
Now I've lost a fair lot of weight, but it's good to know that this chair will last me awhile as long as I keep up with maintaining/dropping weight.

This is what I got once we went work at home. It's excellent and I have spent 8-10 hours a day for over a year in it.
Got it off Amazon

I have an Amazon Basics chair; specifically, an older version of this chair. It was pretty decent for... I dunno, 9-12 months? I'm only 5'8" and 125lbs, and a bit over a year later, I'm essentially sitting on metal. I do sit in the chair for 10+ hours per day, so some wear is expected, but it's become intolerable. Additionally, the arm pads are also down to the metal now, and the right armrest sags significantly due to the weight I've applied to it - I'd say it sits a full inch below the left one at this point. Honestly, the reason I'm on this sub right now is to research a replacement.
To summarize, it was acceptably comfortable for a little under a year, but don't expect to get any real mileage out of it.
I bought this one with fold up arms for the same reason.
The seat is a touch narrow for my wide self, but tolerable. It shipped with traditional casters and skate wheels; the lowest height with the skates on is still pretty high. I like it but I'm tall.
I bought this one before the pandemic really hit. It was about cheaper then but it's a great chair
I misremembered and looking at my order it was actually $170 when I bought it, but only $154 now. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000Q5XTE8
My only complaint is the mesh back has loosened a little bit, but it's still pretty comfortable.
I'm missing two discs in my lower back, so lumbar support was a must. I was going to get a RTX racing chair but after trying one out was surprised how uncomfortable it was . I went instead with an ergonomic office chair; and it's been great. I got skinny legs, a bony butt, and spend the greater part of most days in this chair. It treats me right.
I bought this chair to upgrade my work from home situation. It's pretty awesome, best office chair I've used

Currently using this cheap chair from amazon, it hurts my back like hell after sitting for more than a hour. Would this be a decent upgrade?
One of my brothers has this, I found it to be pretty comfortable:
Many of the cheaper headrest require you to drill a few bolts into the back of the chair. Its not that uncommon and you could find a few threads of people doing it with a bit of google searching. most of them end up using this headrest from amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Lorell-Hi-Back-Chair-Headrest-Black/dp/B00P85C6OU
I needed a chair last march as well and ended up with this this.
There are several other comparable chairs on amazon in addition to that one as well.
I think it's this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Engineered-Now-Original-Headrest-Classic/dp/B005L9ATK6
I have it but I wouldn't buy it again, range of motion isn't as large as I'd like and it's too deep so it rubs my headphones.
I think the Atlas headrest for the aeron is supposed to be better but I haven't tried it myself.
I just came and found this subreddit looking for similar info. I'm just shy of 6'3" with a disc herniation (repaired years ago but still gives me trouble) in lower back. Looking to upgrade as my current chair was never great always good enough, but starting to wear out now a few years in. Current chair. Considering our needs are similar, I'll send anything interesting i come across this way.. please update this if you find anything good too.
Looks like it, but I'm in US. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KUPS3JU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

I got this same headrest and mounted it to a workpro 9000. I drilled 2 small holes in my chair and mounted it that way but it can also be done with clamps. Check out the images on the Amazon page and you can see how other people rigged it to their chair
​
edit: I got the mesh headrest but the base layout is still the same https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00P85C6OU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I just bought that one. Hope it's good.
The other one I was looking at is the Duramont chair. It has the cushioned seat and adjustable lumbar, but I actually didn't want the cushioned seat (reviews say it's hard and firm, so might not be ideal for sitting on legs), so I went with the Gabrylly.
NOUHAUS Ergo3D Ergonomic Office Chair
im pretty tall so I wanted something that sat higher than most chairs. This on can sit pretty high on the highest adjustment level
That's the headrest, it comes with 2 bolts, you'd simply attach those bolts to the clamps and then attach the clamps to the back of the chair and then you'd have no holes on the back of your chair. If the clamps aren't big enough they also sell other ones. You're looking for 1/4" screws.
I mean, this is the one my physiotherapists recommended after I went to him with a sore back. He uses it at home, and it’s honestly the best built chair I’ve ever seen in an office.

But I’m sure you’re also very qualified to be saying there isn’t a chair good enough for our government employees for under $1000 too.
This is the chair I have.

Is that enough info? If needed I can measure the cylinder external sizes later, when I get the chance.
I’d recommend buying the headrest for it, a bit pricey but worth it imo. link
Don't buy a gaming chair, they're terrible for your posture. Look on amazon or any office supply store for ergo task chairs. They're a lot better for your body for long sessions. Something like this going to be way cheaper than a gaming chair and better for you in the long run.

I got an inexpensive Spamazon chair for my home office. My son like it so much, I got one for him as well.
Used this one for 2 years the mesh finally started to rip on the back slowly. But super comfy and arms swivel up no problem.

Black friday is coming up. A few years ago i bought my head rest on sale on amazon during black friday week, so it may be worth keeping an eye on that.
Got it for like $50 off.
It was this one and i really like it.

This is the one I've been using. It's a little on the pricer side ($165 on Amazon) but mine's been going strong for 4.5 years with no problems. It's nice and comfortable, and it's done wonders for my back pain. Only minor thing that I've noticed as of late is that the rubber on the armrest is tearing a little, but it's purely cosmetic and I'm coming up on having used it heavily for 5 years now.
It is a Staples Hyken chair. It seems Staples doesn't carry it on their site anymore which is a bummer because I have had two of these and they are fantastic for the price. Got it for around 120$. Seems they have some on Amazon though they are more expensive, here.
I walked in to the office furniture store in my town, the 6'6" salesman spotted me, and sat me this chair. The seat height is 64 cm, which fit me perfectly. Since it's my personal property, I carry it from job to job.
This chair has an unusually high back and long seat. It's made in Taiwan, of all places; a quick check on Amazon UK does not show it available there.
Try and office furniture stores that cater to City (yes, I realize you're 400 miles away from there) firms, this is the only other place I've been to other than Amsterdam and Sarajevo where I didn't feel unusually tall.
But, not to despair; most office chairs have a standard 50mm diameter seatpost, you can replace the stock seatpost with a longer one.
I got this chair here from amazon. And it's alright, no real major complaints, but it's not amazing or anything.
Cool. Hope you got a good price.
The only deficiency in the Aeron is the absence of a head/neck rest. I added one of these to mine. Fit and finish is pretty good, and it's been a good upgrade.
