    Just ordered a HM Mirra. Had a bit of a slump in both an Aeron and Mirra in John Lewis last weekend and found the Mirra more comfortable. YMMV.

    Delivery on Friday (hopefully)

    Ooo, never heard of HM chairs until this thread, I've fallen in love with the Embody model.

    Can I claim the cost as "office furniture".

    Herman Miller Mirra at my co office/lab, Herman Miller Aeron at client co office/lab.

    Previous client used to have the cheap padded VDU user chairs which got very hot in summer in an office with no air con.

    I got mine from a local secondhand office furniture place that also advertised on ebay for ~£300.

    Office chairs, work chairs and visitor chairs since 1943 - HÅG

    These are extremely comfortable But will set you back a few quid.

    And as quite a few folks on the board can vouch, I am not small either. 6'2" and quite a bit heavier than you.
    Would go for an Herman Miller Aeron personally but just watch ebay second hand either option are cheap and frequently available....
