Ok I see what you guys are saying, yes some chairs are not comfortable but they're designed to keep a good posture and if you already have bad posture then it will be painful to adjust.

I heard the Herman Miller Embody is annoying to some because they feel they're getting poked by some parts of the design. Do you recommend it though? There is the Gesture by Steelcase too a little cushier but still ergonomic, the armrests are too mobile though which can be a nuisance to keep in place.

Exactly. if you go for most comfortable, you will suffer consequences after few years. Short term gain for long term pain as I know it from my personal expirence or better short term pain for long term gain which could be all those healthy chairs, like Herman Miller embody. I do have this : ?idle Therapia iSuperEnergy XL 8862 (sorry no english). really not comfortable for first few weeks,but then you get used to...
Looks interesting, what chagnes in your posture did you notice after using it, if any? This is probably not available in North America I'm guessing.
