Restalogy Score
The Aeron is the default answer for a reason: a breathable mesh suspension, three sizes so it actually fits you, and a design that's been refined for three decades. It sits cooler than padded chairs, which matters more than people expect in a home office. It's the least flashy chair in this category and arguably the smartest buy.
