I must admit, I love my Aeron, I didn’t pay full price, but I still paid what I think is an insane amount of money for what is just a chair. Regardless it’s lasted me the longest of any chair and is still what I think is the most comfortable.

The chair is so comfortable that Julie is constantly stealing it away from me. Totally understandable really considering she’s got what I’m sure is a $40 Office Depot special, she did remove the back to try and force herself into a good posture. I’m not really sure it’s worked. The chair is pretty much used as a leg prop now. Instead she’s now sitting on the IKEA Aron dining chair. Yes it’s perfectly fine for dininig but not for long term sitting.

So being the most awesome boyfriend that I am, I’m looking for a replacement for the Aeron that won’t break the bank like the Aeron.

Any suggestions? Oh and we don’t quite have the room for two huge sitting balls.

Just as an aside, the sitting balls actually work quite well, the problem is finding the right size. Anyway I switched to a ball at work and while I got comments anyone walked by my back felt great. Then of course someone rolled the ball back onto a sharp screw then popped it. But yes, it’s amazing how a simple little $20 ball can quite instantly replace a multi hundred dollar chair.
