Hi! did you get chair? Im here to prevent you buying mirra, cause i'm 6'3 too and lumbar support is too low and supports only my ass, not lumbar, just like shit tier chairs O i saw you get aeron. Do it have same too low lumbar problem?

Been requesting a review on the Mirra 2 earlier. Glad you did this, and it looks like you're glad to? :) Been using the Mirra 2 for about 2 years now and i'm not considering any other chair at all. Soooo pleased with it. I'm about 6 feet 1 inches and 210 pounds and this chair is perfect.

Thanks for the video Ahn, let's hope for black friday discounts this year!

I love that Hermen MIller lounge chair in the background!!!

I must admit, my knowledge is somewhat recent and small on all this, but I have tried quite a few chairs recently. From the Leap V1 Highback, V2, Mirra 2, Haworth Very, Aeron B and C, to the Amia. I would say out of all of them, I think the Mirra 2 is "the best chair" I love the look, the feel, and even the armrests. Everything about the Mirra 2 is exactly what I want, the size is perfect for me. I even bought the exact same colorway you did. However, with my flat rear-end, I just slide right into that plastic frame and get the tailbone pain. Currently I have an Aeron Size B that causes no tailbone pain whatsoever, even after 8+ hours, but it's hard to recline in due to the back being smaller. I tried my father's size C chair, and that convinced me to throw up a trade offer for a fully loaded C on FB marketplace. The Aeron C is the closest thing I can get to a Mirra 2 without it being a Mirra 2, so far anyway.. Really I just wish I could have the seat of the Aeron Size B, with the back of a Size C or a Mirra 2, but tis only a dream. Edit: I also lucked into a Mirra 2 to use at work, but since I don't recline at the office, I don't have much issue tailbone wise.

Always appreciate your content man, love the reviews! I pulled the trigger and purchased one (using your link of course!). Keep up the awesome work dude, really wish we had office chair stores akin to like shoe or clothing stores where we could go in and test out a good variety of office chairs and ever tier. Maybe you something you could set up in the future eh? haha!

Your take is spot on. I hated the Aeron at my office because the front would always dig into my thigh if I want any lower back support. Got this chair since covid hit and never looked back.

My first "good" computer chair was the Mirra 2, then I went on a journey to find an even better chair. Basically tried maybe 10-12 high end mesh chairs and ended up returning ALL OF THEM because none of them felt as good as the Mirra 2. I didn't like the Aeron either because it dug into my legs.

Thank you for your Videos. Bought myself an used Embody this week :D

Your knee mobility looks much improved! Also, the lack of mic cables makes the video look much cleaner. The idea of the front of the seat pan being adjustable is interesting as the Aeron size B seat pans are not great for me even at around 6'

How do you like the chair there fella?

I have an ancient Mirra 1 with most options beside the butterfly back and forward tilt. I love this thing, the back is definitely the best thing about it. I was sus about the bare plastic back, but I find it perfectly fine, and now that I think of it, I think I prefer it that way just to avoid the rim around the edge of the butterfly back. The armpads look funky, but the shape has function, the forward slope keeps them level when leaning back. At this point I wouldn't consider replacing this with anything but another Mirra.

Just ordered myself an Aeron. I’m a software engineer and my company gets a 30% discount.

I'm getting a used Mirra 2 for under 350. However, it comes with Triflex polymer back. Do you think there are any workarounds for it's hard plastic?

Hi, and thanks for the vid. Do you think one can easily play the guitar by lowering the arms of the Mirra ?

What's the nice comfy reclining one you have in the background? White leather? That looks like a nice chair

In the market for a chair, after sitting in the Mirra 2 for a bit I am starting to lean towards it. I am not 100% sure though if I'll hate the mesh after using an ergo chair for long hours. I am currently using some garbage chair and tend to slouch and create strain in my lower back often. It looks like that forward tilt feature and the seat pan adjustment would be extremely beneficial for me, but I'm still checking on other options.

Great looking chair with those colors. I was eying some used ones. However, I got a Herman Miller Celle fully loaded for a great price. It's discontinued so barely gets any mention anywhere, but I love it. Snap on fabric pads on the seat and back and the synchro tilt from high end models is smooth, quiet, awesome. I don't think I would like the Celle with without the fabric (not mesh) pads on both the seat and back, but the Mirra 2 looks like decent material for mesh lovers. Celle has a nice wide seat too, but I really like the adjustable waterfall on the Mirra. Luckily with the Celle I get 2-3 fingers between my legs with outermost depth setting (I'm 5'9). I would love to see a used market Celle video if you get an itch for it. Maybe you can help someone find a diamond in the rough like I feel I have. It's so quiet too except the arms creak just a little. It's also very upright and does the forward tilt which I use for tasking. Great vid btw.

Just picked up a fully loaded mirra 2 for £80 at a thrift shop. Nice review, thanks man

I like the M2. I have the Logitech Embody for over 2yrs now and I work from home full-time. I spend 12+hrs per day 7 days a week and the Embody is super comfy. I often at times sit so long that I forget to go to break because I'm super comfy all the time. I have not tried any other HM chair except for the Gaming Sayl and it was comfy but not as comfy as the Embody. Overall, imo the Logitech Embody is the best chair money can buy. I recently had to use the 12yr warranty and the process was a pita because I had to ship the chair back to DWR to have my seat pan replaced. They no longer send techs out to your house. All repairs are being done at the factory which wasn't bad but it was a pita. Thanks.

Hi! That video isn’t planned (but could add for the future!!), so here’s my quick take: the embody is a much more flexible chair, both in actual feel since it bends with you, and in terms of sitting bc it has soft edges everywhere. If you’re heavier (200lbs+), you may find yourself leaning back in an embody a bit more though bc it’s so flexible, whereas the mirra is much more of a rigid chair and keeps you upright. The embody is my favorite chair of all time bc of its flexibility and how it molds to your body. With the headrest coming out very soon from atlas headrest, the embody is the best chair imho. Hope this helps!

Thanks for this review, I appreciate it. Question, do you think the lumbar support on the Mirra 2 goes up higher into the midback area then any of the lumbar options for the Aeron remastered (i.e posture fit/lumbar pad etc) ? I'm essentially after a chair that gives good pressure support higher up into the midback area (that's just how my spine likes it) and also allows a straight to more forwards back tilt. I found that Aeron remastered does go nice and forward in the back tilt, however the posture fit I tried was more focused on lower back pressure and didn't come up the back high enough where I like it. Appreciate any other recommendations you might have. Cheers

Aggressive lumbar, bad seat and … so I decided to spend more. Haworth and Steelcase offer poor warranty in Europe and I've heard a lot of bad comments about the Haworth's quality control in Europe. I simply cannot settle down for a s***ty warranty, when paying for a high end chair. That leaves HM as the only reputable brand with 12 year warranty in Europe.

I'm trying to buy a new chair. The forward tilt on this chair is really nice to relieve some pressure on the back of my legs but the tailbone issue you mentioned is deterring me from buying it...still looking. Any tips? Forward tilt is super important to me because it seems like every chair I've ever sat in digs into the back of my thighs more than I would like cutting off circulation. Mesh or padding doesn't matter to me but I think padding may be nicer because I like to sit how your wife does cross legged and I think all meshes seem to have a hard rim which disables that.

I stopped getting leg pain after setting it correctly, however the seat width and depth felt a bit too small for me. I ended up switching to the Aeron size c, and the difference in the flexibility of the mesh was significant.

Just noticed Fern's cushion was more comfortable and the armreset could be set a bit higher. HOWEVER they are a bit more far apart (maybe the version I tried didn't have adjustable arms).

@freedonx Ah I see, I was fortunate enough to know about Steelcase and Haworth, thanks to coming across Ahnestly and also BTOD via KZread. For me, knowing about these other brands didn't make any difference, since Steelcase reduced their warranty to 5 years in the EMEA, and Haworth has very limited chairs available here in the UK. I tried the Mirra 2 first, since it's a chair I got to try out at my friend's office, and I had a great first impression of it. Unfortunately, once I got my own Mirra 2, the seat pan wasn't large enough, and I experienced quite a bit of thigh pain. So I decided to swap it for the Aeron remastered size c, and that ended up being the best decision for me.

Mirra 2 is better than Aeron and Embody in my opinion. It has the best sacral support and adjustability in any HM chair, at an amazing price. 10/10 would recommand

I got one of these and within a year the seatpan came undone on the left side and couldn't be fixed. I have to now pay 150 to get the seat pan replaced. Wasn't covered in my warranty. I got it refurbished so maybe it just wasn't put together great but I was severely let down as it was still a ton of money.

waiting your review about Asus ROG Destrier Ergo?

I own both Aeron and Embody and bought my mom a Mirra 2, I'm going to say the Mirra is similar yet different than the Aeron. Similar that it has many same great features, yet different that it feels different. One is not better than the other. I'm 1.83m/115kg (6'0/250lbs), the Mirra 2 was a slight lower than my needs. If you try the Mirra and like it, then go for that one. Can't go wrong.

My room gets to be around 80 as well in the dead of summer and I find it better than most chairs that are pleather and regular fabric. But if you want absolutely breathability, yeah the aeron or m2 and now the Karman are the way to go. I’m REALLY digging the Karman

I live in Switzerland so not a very warm country, but it is getting warmer 🙂.. I currently have a secrelab Titan with synt (fake) leather, but have issues with the seat building up heat and getting things sweaty underneath. So now I want a comfy chair, but one that does not build heat like my current chair. I am not a big fan of the mesh chairs in terms of comfort, the ones I tried always annoyed me after a while for the metal edges, but haven't tried a HM chair yet, so not sure if those are better. I would buy an embody immediately if not for my doubts of heat build up. Btw your reviews are the best I could find on YT!

Cosm?

I already reviewed the Cosm. You can check that video out for my thoughts on it!

Personally as a tall guy I never had a problem with the plastic in the lower back and hip. In fact I found it to be one of the few chairs to give me support without pressing my L1 because it gave away to my back and flexes. Unfortunately as an 6'2" guy, I found out that I am too wide for the seat and found that the seat front edge digs into my quads. I found that the front edge curves way too quickly. I wish they made an XL version where it would be about 2 inches wider. If it was like that I think I would of kept it forever. Compared to the Embody the Mirra 2 is massively better for the back but I wish it had the seat size but the same mesh so you could shift around as I find myself doing in a chair. I tried the Embody as well and it was that hard plastic in the hip area of the back and the mesh like seat that doesn't stretch as well as pure mesh

@@matheusdasilvaprimo5870 If you have a fairly normal weight for your height I'd highly recommend picking one up. Only reason why it didn't work for me is because when I normally sit my legs go bow outwards slightly and it was putting pressure on my thighs as they hit the seat frame. If you are similar to me in being 6"2" and 250 pounds then the Cosm is the better choice despite the higher cost. The entire chair is about 2 inches wider in the seat and back. I feel no pressure at all at my tailbone in it. This was true for the Mirra 2 as well but the thigh pressure ruined it for me as it wasn't comfortable in that area. But the Mirra 2 plastic back was heaven to me. It just gives away without pushing back and I didn't need any lumbar support as my tailbone area there doesn't respond kindly to any pressure. It basically acted just like mesh to me. That plastic isn't like those cheap stiff plastic lawn chairs.

I have been in Grand Rapids recently more times than I ever wanted to be, for those that don't know that's the home of Herman Miller, Steelcase etc etc, and have been at a lot of executives and architects homes and gotten to sit in a lot of different chairs and I have to say the Mirra is way way better than that Aeron junk. I also saw a green Eames chair in palisander and my god was that thing gorgeous. After sitting in the Eames many times now it is growing on me. Everyone is going crazy for the Eames Alexander Girard, I wasn't in love with it and didn't like how the material felt.
