aeron ergonomic desk chair: What is the difference between the new posture fit technology and the more commonly available lumbar support feature?

The lumbar support is a medium density foam cushion that adjusts up and down to fit your back. It offers better support than without it, but the plastic "C" clips that lock the support onto the chair allow more give that I would like. From the looks of the new posture fit tech - it's more secure and less likely to give, offering more support than the lumbar support feature. In the end though it's still the most comfortable chair I've ever sat in. It's more than paid for itself in the added productivity it's allowed me to be, instead of having to adjust, get up and walk off the sore spots... I can get my job done.

Definitely! I too have terrible posture, which was also a contributing factor to my back pain at work, this device will help you with maintaining a proper posture.

I have just bought this device about 2 weeks ago. I use it when I know I will slouch. It reminds me to stand straight. I have bad posture for 30 years and I do not think I will be cured overnight. The good news is that my support is very comfortable and easy to use.

I think that previous models had "ultra" in the name, but it's basically the current version of the same product. (I have one of the old "ultra" ones and one of the new ones.) Obus Forme now only uses "ultra" in the name of one of its backrest products.

It supports my middle back (inexpensive 19" wide chairback) where I needed the support. I had to work more than I wanted to for the Kensington to stay in place but it is comfortable for me.

There seem to be several minor variations in the TP 8000 but the chair I purchased seems most like this http://www.staples.com/Tempur-Pedic-TP8000-Ergonomic-Mesh-Mid-Back-Task-Chair-Black/product_324599 . I would also note that I am very happy with the chair I bought.

Not sure exactly but this is by no means a small chair.It's taller and more massive than an average chair.I've been using mine for 2 years almost and have no complaints.It's no Aeron (that's what I have at work) but it is a very good value.

Have been using my Rhino for a couple of months now and I'm very pleased with it. The well constructed frame work has been able to support my 230 frame, but the best feature of the chair is the adjustable back support system. To me that is what sold me this chair and it is very comfortable.

Yes, the lumbar support is velcro'd on so you can move it to best suit you.

I just bought the same combination and so far I love it. Much more versatile than I think the Fitdesk would have been. Comfortable and quiet and just the right height. Doesn't even take much if any more room than my old desk/chair combination, and it is more portable, although I will probably leave it set up most of the time.

I would have to say it's more for lumbar/back relief. But, maybe it's worth a try. If the back is straight and supported, then the rest of things usually fall into place too. I have a Tempur Pedic cushion to sit on for my office chair and it helps me in that department.

The Orbweaver has adjustable hand, thumb, and palm-rest modules. It will feel a lot more comfortable than the Nostromo.

Unless they changed the design, this chair is not comfortable. No lumbar support and after sitting in it over extended period cushioning compresses. Then you're left with a hard bar under your knees. In your case under your thigh. I stopped using mine awhile ago. I'm over 230 lbs so this may be the issue. Also the base loosens. It functioned ok with sound. Chair has life of maybe 3 months for heavy weight, frequent gamers.

Hey there. For me, the lumbar support is good, and I'm a big guy! Hard to judge personal preferences when it comes to comfort though. Great value for the price. Hope this helps West

Hi! We are a similar size. I love my obus forme! Have had it for at least a half dozen years and it has saved me many times over from unbearable back pain due to poorly designed chairs, seats, work stress etc. My new PT approved it and noticed that I am wearing out a part of it due to my spinal curvature and my tendency to lean my weight to one side. So do get support for your office and travel, but also be sure to check in with a PT if you have chronic issues.

The seat angle moves, this is an extremely comfortable and customizable chair. It is an ergonomic fit for almost anyone. I love this chair, *******
