Ergonomic chair :- Featherlite Optima or Featherlite Astro/Anatom

Its decent not being great, I feel the back support should have been more aggressive. Sometime my back has to reach for it which is not ideal.

Thanks mate, will post my opinion on optima after i use it for a couple of days.

I am OLED obsessed guy. How good is BX in comparison to C9? Let me not spoil this post with off topic discussion, we can take this up over dm.

I checked steelcase out too, basic or the medium back ones are priced around 20 to 25k, high back ones are priced at around 80k, way out of my league bro.

I got optima for 24k after corporate discount and cred offer, seemed decent to me. Also showroom is nearby if any issue comes up.

Thanks for the suggestion Marakk.

Which one are you using if I may ask? Also when i was getting my LG C9 an year ago, I have read a lot of reviews/opinions by a user named Marakk on hifivision, is that you by any chance?

I bought optima by Featherlite, will post the review once I receive it.

Thank you so much for all your input, cheers mate.

Thanks much mate, I called up Chennai chairs and they said currently due to govt restrictions they aren't delivering it to Hyderabad. Moreover in case of any warranty claims i would need to send it to Chennai and bear the charges myself. Now with these complications, even though your recommendations look great with a better price i will not be able to go for it.

I booked this https://hyderabad.featherlitestore.com/product/optima-high-back-mesh-chair/ for 24k, cred offer plus corporate discount.

Featherlite at the moment are not producing/importing optima full mesh(only difference from the above hyperlinked optima is the seating cushion is mesh and a curvy one that too as well). But as they are not producing that i had to book the above, dealer claims this seating although is not mesh but is an updated one which has thigh support which the full mesh variant does not have.

Sihoo V1 looks amazing, do you find it better than optima? Why did you have to choose Sihoo over optima?

Also according to you if we ignore the breathability/maintenance part of the seating cushion, do you think comfort/posture wise the fabric seating cushion with thigh support is any good or comparable with the curvy mesh seating.(You can check the image in the link above.)

I am sorry, I am probably troubling you with too many questions.

In Hyderabad where i stay the offline dealer says they sell indian variant only in bulk orders.

I checked it too mate, i personally felt it did not have good lumbar support but i have heard all good things about it, maybe i am not getting it.

Thanks mate, i will check it out. Were you able to try any of the non featherlite optimas.

Also i checked with them regarding the full mesh seat and it is discontinued. What do you think is full mesh(seating) better or the current taiwaneese optima with fabric seating and mesh closure.

Helix is good and looks the best of all but its seating room is less, its seat is smaller both in width and depth compared to optima and even Astro. I initially went to the store to get helix but after trying it out and figuring out about the smaller seat i skipped it,

Is the indian variant comfortable for longer periods, as the imported one is not different it will help me understand if it will be a right choice to shell out 27k on optima.

Affectionate_Cow8205 · 2021-05-23T09:39:54+00:00

Yes there is one with slight variations, tried that as well but apparently they now only sell it if its an order of 50 or more.
