I bought this for my office at work, on their dime in case it sucked. It arrived today and is fantastic. Several people sat in it and they were all impressed, one person immediately bought it for their home office. Very thick cushion, very heavy duty, I’m really impressed this is under $300.

The only negative I see is the arm rests move left and right easily, but I have them in the outer most configuration and have mem foam pads I put on them that makes them wider and softer (I do this on all chairs) so this isn’t a negative for me. If I needed them to be closer I’d need to figure out some way to make them stay that way. They also have large angle adjustment so even if they’re all the way out you could angle them in and be fine, the angle adjustment is very solid and doesn’t move easily like the side to side. The forward and backward adjustment is also very solid and doesn’t move easily.

It’s the Colamy Atlas if you don’t want to watch the video.

I've been in the market for a new office chair for awhile now but didn't want to spend an arm and a leg. I'm willing to give this chair a chance for the price. I'm not picky, hell I'm still using the $75 office max chair I got in like 2000.

Anyways, did you buy it from their website or Amazon? I noticed the models are different even though they look the same.

For some reason Amazon has multiple models when you go to the link and swipe through the “color” options. You want the Atlas, which is this one. $279. I got mine from Amazon because I get 5% off, easy returns, free shipping.

Haven’t ever looked at that site so I went and checked. I enjoyed that their slogan is “Shop like a billionaire” but it opens the website with a spinning chance wheel to get discounts. Yeah I’m sure that’s how billionaires shop, lmao

Anybody have good recommendations for the best "seat" in the business? I've tried a Titan and the above Colamy. While both were decent, I still get tailbone area pain after an hour or two of sitting. The Titan was better in that regard, but still pretty "meh".

I think I remember hearing in either this thread or another one we had on the topic that the Gesture has a really comfortable seat? Or maybe it was the Leap?

The Leap seat padding is actually pretty thin if anything. The Gesture is supposed to have the better seat. I tried Steelcase's Amia about a year back and really loved the seat, it was definitely plusher than the Leap - but I was turned off by immediate squeaking and the lack of back support.

It's not my favorite chair, but at work I never notice my butt hurting in my Aeron.

I don't like my embody.

The only advantage is it fits my living room much better than a secret lab

My favorite chair was when mesh chairs started… it had a big wide thick foam bottom, basic arms that up down forward etc, a basic lumbar and it was full tall back with a huge foam head rest … it took me through years of EQ… my wife made me throw it away… never found a chair near its comfort since… may try hat atlas

Over priced and not comfortable. Doesn't feel luxury

Any deviation from perfect posture seating position isn't comfy

Why not just squat on a folding chair when you aren’t standing at your desk?

My work has Steelcase Leap V2s, and if I have to go in office a lot I get butt pain.

At home I have a refurbed Herman Miller Aeron C, and it's great, since I probably spent like 12 hours a day in it.

One thing that is for sure next I buy a new chair is that the back is going to be mesh for the air circulation. The only downside is you need to vacuum it once a month as dust likes to get trapped there. But sweating is reduced considerably. Also, probably a foam seat with some sort of canvas covering too. Leather, while cool and comfortable at first, just isn't good when it comes to sweating.

And I have yet to see a chair marketed as a "gamer chair" that is anything but pure garbage.

I’ve had my mesh aeron for a few years and have never had to vacuum it. I remember a mesh one I had like 20 years ago that gathered dust but it was like a fuzzy material, I’m guessing it depends on the material that’s used for the mesh?
