Aeron didn't work for me. Which reminds me of something funny. How many of you can make a weird statement like this: "Oz Noy gave me super-cushiony gel pad for my butt!"
I'm kind of heavyset and the Leap is great for me as well. They have a version that is a bit wider and would probably accommodate my size better, but I'm making progress at getting back in shape these days.I prefer the Steelcase Leap. I am tall and thin. It's perfect for me.
The armrests can be lowered but cannot be removed.
I compared a lot of chairs when a family member worked for DS&D office furniture.
A "famous" chair I dislike is the Herman Miller Aero.
I'm convinced that no chair is going to be a do everything chair for me. If it's comfortable for me to sit at most of the day, which includes some time leaning back while vegging, watching some TV, or contemplating a problem, then it's going to suck for guitar; even if the arms fold up.
I'm more likely to end up on the Roc-n-Soc, which I got casters for, which does work well for guitar and popping between desks, but I can't be lazy in it.
I find myself going back and forth between contemplating and playing many times during a recording session . But I’d be interested in hearing how well the rocnsoc works for you, if you go in that direction.
Free delivery too. Didn't see anything saying that doesn't include shipping to the US, but that seems so unlikely.Just found this:

Armrests can be removed.
And it's only €199 promo from € 329
Whadyathink?
Gosh, we wanted these "chairs" so badly at our startup back in the day: http://web.archive.org/web/20011025035927/http://www.poetictech.com/aura/index.html
These look pretty slick too: https://www.mwelab.com/en/emperor.html
As much as I like my Aeron, I find it totally impractical for sitting while playing guitar. I got this chair recently and I'm happy with it so far. It has arm rests and good lumbar support, so it's a good chair for sitting at the desk, but the arm rests flip up which makes it very comfortable for playing guitar.
I tried to post the link to the chair on Amazon, but that didn't work for some reason. Anyway it's a Hbada.
