You can also find steelcase chairs on eBay for reasonable prices. They have all the adjustments and a wide variety of material options.

I’m sorry, I like my chair. I’m looking for a seat cushion.

[–] jj122@lemmings.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I tried the purple cushion and it wasn't worth it. But besides that I don't have a recommendation.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

That's very useful info, actually. Thanks!

Can't recommend this enough. I found a lightly used steelcase leap v1 on Craigslist for $120 (one owner). It was the same price as what I paid for a new EZBoy office chair from Costco, but the EZBoy started falling apart after less than a year. This Steelcase is over 15 years old and it looks and feels better than the other chair did when it was new. My back pain also went away when I got it, but I got a new mattress around the same time so it was probably a combination of the two... I do sit at my desk for 10+ hours a day, though.

There are other similar chairs (eg. Herman Miller Aeron), and while I hate to recommend reddit, I haven't found a better source for info on second hand high-end office chairs. If you're considering a new office chair and suffer from back pain (sorry OP, I know you aren't looking for a new chair), consider a higher-end used chair.

Crandall office furniture!

Ordered a reconditioned Aeron there this Summer for about half what it would cost new and I love it. And since it’s reconditioned that means Herman Miller and their shitty-ass CEO didn’t make anything from me.

Only thing is it had a bit of a funky smell when unwrapping, but it aired out quickly.

A fellow Steelcase fan. Awesome. What's yours?
