Part of the problem is I can't seem to find good customer reviews and
comparison of these chairs that isn't part of some marketing scheme.
It also appears that most of the user opinions are just that and vary
widely.

Well I've been looking at chairs like that for *years* and still yet
to pull
the trigger on it due to the cost (me just being inherently cheap and

at an
Aeron you should also look at Steelcase Leap or Humanscale Freedom
chairs
too. I think the Leap is the best of those, but there might be
newer ones
since then that might be as good or better, though you're still
looking at
$700-$1000 for one of those with all the options (like getting the
neckrest
for the Leap since I need the neck support).
Just google for comparisons of those chairs and you'll find out the
latest-I
haven't looked in years so there might be newer info available that
way...

The Aeron chairs are indeed expensive, but you should only have to
buy one.
They are comfortable and don't break down over time.
You could also look at the Knoll Chadwick chairs. They are also a mesh
design, are comfortable, and have good longevity. They're not cheap,
but
usually not as high as the Aeron. This is the chair my work uses.
If your wife has already approved the Aeron, you'd be a fool not to
just do
that. :)

I'm in the market for a new chair for my office/computer. For many
years now I have just used cheap (about $150 or so) chairs as I
couldn't rationalize spending more.
But seeing that I spend 8-10 hours a day (or more) in that chair, I
probably should make a substantial investment. My wife says I should
get an Aeron, but omg those things are expensive.
So what do you all use to cradle your buns all day? Recommendations?
