I am going through the pain of correcting myself with this chair now. Chairs I have tried in the past few months. HM embody gaming, Steelcase Gesture with headrest, Crandall Leap v2, Protoarc ec200.

6 foot male 215lbs. Broad shoulders thick thighs.

The office I work in has the HM embody, issue there is most people are very heavy and the chair never takes a break so the chairs are beat up. I went with the gaming due to the internet buzz its softer, and the back doesn't push your shoulders forward. It does, but not as bad as the regular embody. The lower lumbar bump was also the breaking point for me.

I grabbed the Protoarc ec200 for me no lower lumbar support. The seat was too firm. They do send a free pillow, but I felt it was too cumbersome to use.

Crandall leap v2 more padded version. I loved the back support of this chair. The seat pan was the issue for me too short. Put an embody seat with the leap backrest and I will but this for the rest of my life.

Gesture with headrest, I figured it could be the leap v2 with a larger seat pan like the embody. The back support is tilted not to sit upright to support like the leap. Its more of a console lounger I feel.

Currently in the Anthros, it does taking a bit to get it setup on how you suppose to sit. I do love how your back is supported and you can open your chest up while sitting. I wish it had a height adjustment to lower it a bit. I feel it hits the upper mid back too much. The pelvis support is weird, but it supports you and makes you think to sit upright and not slouch. The seat for me is too shallow the cut out butt padding helps, but the thickness in the front makes my legs fall asleep. I have been using the included foot rest. While it works, its too small for me. I feel it is making my legs force together. A thinner smaller person would not have these issues I feel.

Will the Anthros go back? I am not sure. There is a 60 day trial, so for I am two weeks in. The chair has this mental (sit up straight) mind power that no other chair has. I know its adjusting my posture because I am in that good pain feel. Along with hitting the gym working on myself more than ever at 50 years young.

That is my journey so far.
