does anyone feel that mesh chairs hurt ur butt after prolonged use?

felt that way on the Aeron

I'm personally fine with the mesh chair from takeaseat, can sleep on it... not sure about the Aeron...

I did get a chair from taobao before, but while the seat was fine, the metal legs rusted within a year (my takeaseat chair bought around same time, still no rust after 2 years). But maybe it's a cheaper purchase...

Look like China oem chair that cost $500++ from taobao with a little changes but with local warranty.

if you are getting pain in butt (literal), it may not be the chair but your posture and maybe sitting for long periods. especially if you feel 'lightning' in your legs when you get up or get up from bed or enter a prone position. u may want to consult a medical professional.

How is this compared to the $300-$400 ones from UMD Life/TakeASeat?

It has a spring that allows the support to be pushed back when sitting on it. Take note of the width of the seat though. The Vision is only 465mm. I'm fatter, so it was not wide enough for me.

The Sail model was better at 520mm, which was what I bought.

In comparison, the Titan and Omega have a seat width of 559mm.

If looking for cheaper mesh options, they have the M16 (cushion seat) or M18 (mesh seat):

Those China made chairs that promote as ergonomic may angulate your back to the wrong angles and permanently damage the discs in your spine instead. When I was at the worst stage of my slipped disc, i went around and test a lot. My back was an ergonomic detector.

Really ergo chairs are highly adjustable and the better ones should be able to do forward tilt. They are designed to also promote a lot of movement and blood circulation. It's not just having mesh alone = Ergonomic.
That's why those replicas only copy the design but never copy the real function and advantages of the best known ergonomic chairs.

Get those that can promise you at least 10 years warranty on the mechanism and gas cylinder, that should already cover back most of the ROI. Some local stupid joker company offer 10 years warranty on the solid metal frame only, don't be tricked.

Those lousy chairs won't promise you much warranty because they are poorly stress tested or using material that can't last.

One has only one spine, and anybody who had a slipped disc will know it's irreversible. Spine starts to degrade alot when you hit the 30s. Once you have a problem, your medical checkup, mri, etc, already easily cost $500+. In the end, the drs can only tell you that there's nothing much they can do.

If you don't want to spend much on the chair, then the best is you correct your own posture first.

Recommendations pls

 

[XinSuiLe]

any recommendations of mesh chairs for heavy weights above 100kg?

 

[Swiftbladez]

No budget then go for Herman Miller Aeron, Embody or Mirra.

best if you physically try it out. (at least sit for a good while, not 2-5mins.)
different body different needs.
