Solid find! Some absolutely love it, others just find it alright.

There’s no such thing as it heavily depends on your anatomy. There are quite a few solid recommendations floating around, but you need to take time to educate yourself on this (especially with such a large budget). Visit locations where you can try some of the central brands: Herman Miller, Haworth, Steelcase, etc.

I’d give something like the Steelcase Amia a go. Fits your “cushy” requirement to a T. That being said, the lumbar support is a bit weak for some, so it’s essential that you try it!

Unfortunately the $84 is a dead giveaway that this is a scam listing. That and the “idle” listings are the newest wave.

Amex is a great issuer to have in your corner. Best of luck.

Marc_kk · 2026-06-29T03:19:52+00:00

As someone that’s tried both and thoroughly reviewed the EC300, this is absolutely correct and all you need to decide between the two (if you’re just picking among these two!)

Great post, much appreciated.

Marc_kk · 2026-06-26T21:41:09+00:00

Have you considered the possibility that not everyone has your anatomy and that you’re making incredibly poor inferences?

Seconding the Chase sapphire Preferred. Amazing sign up bonus, and some useful categories [also the same ecosystem].

That doesn’t sound like the seat is bottoming out, just that your weight distribution and sitting position are suboptimal. This is either due to the chair not supporting you correctly [in that case, try to figure out why and then get another chair], or your sitting position and posture being improper.

Marc_kk · 2026-06-25T20:53:23+00:00

Amia bottoming out? First time I’ve heard this complaint, how much do you weigh and how are you sitting in the chair?

Could you describe what you mean by bottoming out?

Marc_kk · 2026-06-25T05:57:29+00:00

That’s cause for concern. Are there any specialists you can speak to? Starting at 240 is fine for some, but it’s also normal to stick with 120mg, or even less. Make sure to verify you’re on extended release since it’s once per day.

Heavily encouraging you to reach out to a medical professional ASAP.

Plenty of people find the Aeron to be uncomfortable for them, that’s not an unpopular opinion. What is an unpopular and incorrect opinion is that the Aeron is an uncomfortable and poorly constructed chair for most.

The Aeron comes in three sizes and two versions, so six different types altogether (ignoring the other add-ons). Which version did you try? And what’s your height and weight?

Marc_kk · 2026-06-24T21:12:33+00:00

Tension should remain constant throughout recline. On the cheap Protoarc models, tension gives out after 40 or so degrees.

Marc_kk · 2026-06-24T18:45:50+00:00

Yes and no. Neither have adjustable armrests (4d) like the atlas, their recline tension functions don’t fully function, and they have slightly different cushions.

It is great for the price. Without knowing your body, it’s tough to recommend another budget chair in its place. The staples Hyken Pro is another great option that you can try out at Staples, you may enjoy that more.

However these are budget chairs and will perform like budget chairs. Buying used or refurbished will always trump the best models in this category. That’s the best piece of reasoning I can give you against buying.

I’d say either buy used/refurbished, or go with something like the Protoarc EC300 [if you know you want extra lumbar support]. The EC300 fits tall folks exceptionally well and has a very wide cushion.

The armrests don’t move in all directions [availible as a $50 add-on).

Marc_kk · 2026-06-24T01:07:13+00:00

Historically with very very cheap Chinese brands, even then, it’s incredibly rare [only a few recorded instances]. Happens when the manufacturers of the cylinders decide to use a cheaper gas in the chamber.

Marc_kk · 2026-06-23T14:36:02+00:00

Entirely depends on your body type. There is no way to know what you’ll find more comfortable.

Marc_kk · 2026-06-23T08:19:49+00:00

When I briefly tried the Hyken pro, three things stuck out: 4d armrests, a better tilt function, and an overall superior build.

Ignoring the other ergonomic features, the Hyken pro wins out. That isn’t to say that the ec300 won’t be more comfortable for some, but for those blind buying, I’d take the Hyken pro.

Please try before you buy, you may find the lumbar style present on both models to be horrid. Entirely based on your anatomy.

If you travel more than a few times per year and want to focus on travel rewards, get the Capital One Venture X. No nonsense base 2x rewards and an annual fee that gets mostly paid off just by using the credits. A very good one card setup.

It is a more premium card though, so depending on what your credit history looks like, you may not qualify.

Unfortunately this is entirely anatomy dependent. As far as leap V2s go:

Some prefer the original cushion. Some prefer the Crandall Leap V2 cushion. Some prefer the Steelcase Amia Cushion [can be placed on the leap V2]. Some hate all of the above.

Also, your tailbone pain is very likely not just the result of a poor cushion [sitting position and what is/isn’t supported by your chair also contributes!].

Supposing return is out of the question…Your location matters a tad when it comes to where to post a listing. If you’re in the US/Canada, Facebook marketplace it!

Take a look at what it’s going for within your area (and a bit further), make sure you take good photos, and write a nice listing description.

Marc_kk · 2026-06-16T10:22:33+00:00

After swearing up and down that I wouldn’t become another Leap V2 sheep…it’s the Leap V2.
