What is the best ergonomic desk chair?
I'm considering the Herman Miller Mirra or Steelcase Leap. Are there better ones?
It's wicked expensive but these 3D Knit Think chairs are the beez kneez.
If you're packin a smaller budget, go for the Heel Chair good for your back and your street cred

I just purchased this one:
Raynor Ergohuman Chair
I've been very please with the quality and comfort. I'm a big guy at 6'3 and 270lbs, and I don't think anyone larger would fit properly, but it works for me

I have had the Herman Miller Mirra for about 2 years and I love it. I think it's superior to the Aeron and it should be since it's its successor. I like the Aeron but the armrests eventually break as anyone who has one knows, it's more expensive, and it's not environmentally friendly like the Mirra (that was a requirement of the Mirra design so they used less parts and the parts are recyclable). The Mirra also has a more modern, less stuffy office furniture, look to it in my opinion.
I just recently purchased two office chairs for my home office. I was ready to pull the trigger on a refurb'd steelcase leap on ebay for $300, but I found two HON 7808's on criagslist in good condition and picked them up for $40/ea... I dont completely love them, but for the $260 in savings they will work for now.
The office collection at Vitra is great; I use the Charles & Ray Eames chair (Aluminium Group EA 117) daily. Although the original design is dated 1958, it's a timeless classic. Often used in office settings for movies, which contributes to the chairs 'hollywood/celebrity'-effect.
The Humanscale Freedom Task Chair (with headrest) is really good too. http://www.humanscale.com/products/freedom_index.cfm
