http://www.cpodchair.com/welcome/cat/about The chair has a height adjustable back, thoracic support, and a head rest. I mainly suffer from shoulder issues, so the features i mentioned seem to suit my needs. My issue is that I cannot find any reviews of the chair. Also I have never heard of the company. I am also considering an Emobdy, as I have found them for a decent price (800$) from a local authorized Herman Miller dealer. My issue with this chair is that I have read that the lumbar support is too low/ firm (from someone my height of 6"0). Does anyone have any experience with the Embody/ opinions on the lumbar support? | ||

In terms of technical adjustment features (elevation, recline, arm rests) it lines up with the Fastback review at the beginning of the thread, and I don't mind the lack of features, most of the features listed in the OP you may never have need for in some cases (ie chair angle tilt for me), and before getting this chair I actually tried to find another chair with more features (such as chair tilt and mechanical lumbar) and ended up being disappointed (I actually bought and returned that chair the same week as I bought the DXRacer). The DXRacer recline is probably the best feature, and works as advertised. I have not had any problems with the lumbar cushion, but since I am a shorter person (5'1") and have no need for the head pillow, I've stacked the head pillow below the lumbar cushion to elevate it. When I was doing research I found that some of the higher-tier DXRacer seats (office comfort/XL series) include mechanical lumbar support. Anyone looking to get one should still compare the size specifications of the different models in relation to their body size. I used the seat in my own car as a reference point against the specifications they have listed for their difference chair series. I specifically avoided the casual sport series since I was shorter and wanted to avoid my head lining up with the headrest window slots. | ||

Background: I've been working at an enterprise software company for about 7 months now and I just realized the chairs we have are: Herman Miller Mirra's at all desks: http://www.hermanmiller.com/products/seating/performance-work-chairs/mirra-chairs.html and Herman Miller Aeron's in all meeting rooms: http://www.hermanmiller.com/products/seating/performance-work-chairs/aeron-chairs.html Both with all the bells and whistles available. As far as comfort goes the building is a constant temperature so I can't comment on comfort during hot/cold weather but my thoughts: Mirra: Once adjusted, it's like a glove. Adjust lumbar, seat depth etc and once it's perfect, never touch it again. I sit in the same position for hours and I'm still perfectly comfy. It also happens to discourage slouching - It strongly encourages good posture to be comfortable. Aeron: I rarely adjust anything other than height. They're comfy for meetings but it's not a chair you can fall asleep in. I'm uncomfortable sitting in this for much more than an hour - I usually wind up having to readjust my position pretty frequently during meetings. I'm not sure a properly adjusted one would beat out the Mirra IMO. Still not planning on purchasing either for home use but I do love the mesh bottom/backs. | ||

Both are comfortable, but the Bodybilt feels more bed-like than the Leap (aka thicker cushioning). The Leap's armrests can be adjusted toward/away from your body, but the material they are made of wear down over time, leaving you with a material smearing effect. The hydraulics also lose strength over time, but what chair doesn't suffer from this? My company actually has a discount program with Steelcase for 20% off, so the chair comes out to $711.20 on their website, but with tax, it really isn't much of a deal is it? How low do the Steelcase Leap's usually go for when they are on sale? | ||

I need some helps to identify this chair. I found it on Ebay and I got it for a really cheap price ($69). It has all I want (back support and head support). I had a back pain before (thanks to $50 chair) and since I have this one, I don't have the pain anymore and totally fell in love with the chair. I even can adjust it, so I can literally take a nap on it. I really want to know more about this chair. Here are some pictures: http://imageshack.com/a/img706/1638/6jhl.jpg http://imageshack.com/a/img46/7144/0vka.jpg http://imageshack.com/a/img850/3374/xh80.jpg | ||
