Comments on: Finding the Perfect Office Chair: Aeron vs. Swiss Ball vs. the FBI’s Pick… http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/2009/01/27/office-chair-aeron-vs-mirra-vs-liberty/ Tim Ferriss's 4-Hour Workweek and Lifestyle Design Blog Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:05:13 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Chelsea http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/2009/01/27/office-chair-aeron-vs-mirra-vs-liberty/comment-page-1/#comment-55781 Chelsea Tue, 10 Nov 2009 17:42:37 +0000 http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/?p=1091#comment-55781 Looks like you definitely put a lot of time and effort into picking your perfect chair out. I personally really like the Humanscale Freedom and Humanscale Liberty that you mentioned in the article. Another good way to reduce back pain is to take breaks every hour or so to walk around and stretch. Also if you rotate between sitting in different ergonomic chair options such as an exercise ball or a kneeling chair can dramatically reduce back pain.

Swopper (formerly Aires) Muvman is based on the same principle of movement as schwipp.de, but in my opinion better implemented since it leans forward to get you in the best sitting position and the height can also be easily adjusted. The cheapest site with free shipping I've found is http://swopperwelt.de/ which is also based in Germanyth. It's 400€ there. But I think it's also available in a lot of other countries.

Might be that I'm a bit baised here but matter of fact is that we had them in the institute during my PhD time and there were little wars fought about who could get one next (10 chairs, approx. 28 people). After I left the university I had to use a normal office chair and developted severe problems with my lower back in the first two weeks. They disappeared three days after I bought a schwipp chair for myself. Prices are between 400-500 Euros, they are worth it.
