Is Ergotune really better than IKEA? ๐ธ ๐ค
If youโre like us, and you primarily work from home, you likely spend a good 8-10 hours of your day on your chair. New chairs were one of our first buys when lockdowns hit, and we think itโs one of the wisest decisions you can make not just for comfort, but to protect your back and spine. Hereโs our review of our #9to5 chairs!
๐ช1๏ธโฃ Ergotune Supreme V1 ๐ท๏ธ $599
During circuit breaker in 2020, my partner invested in the Ergotune Supreme V1 for $599.
๐๐พ Its mesh design makes it extremely breathable, a godsend in Singaporeโs hot weather.
๐๐ผ However, we discovered that a mesh seat can make it uncomfortable when wearing shorter shorts (a bigger problem for girls)
๐๐พ The adjustable features of the Ergotune (including the headrest, armrests and seat depth) allow you to customize your seating experience to match your preferences. It's almost like having a chair tailor-made just for you! ๐๐ผโจ
๐๐๐๐ Overall, 4/5 stars โ because tho its adjustable, it still doesnโt suit his body perfectly
๐ช2๏ธโฃ IKEA Markus ๐ท๏ธ $100 from Carousell
Because I didnโt like the mesh seat, I bought IKEA the Markus instead.
๐๐ผ It supports my spine at all the right spots and has a nice faux leather cushioned seat!
๐๐ผ However, it didnโt quite meet my needs for extended hours at the desk as it doesnโt provide lumbar and neck support and I get back pain over time โน๏ธ
๐๐ผ The lack of adjustable armrests also make it difficult to slide it under the table, so we decided to remove it entirely
๐๐๐ Overall, 3/5 stars โ itโs nice for occasional WFH, but sadly not good enough for extended everyday use
๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ๐ต Is the $499 difference worth it? If you WFH and wear longer bottoms, weโd give a resounding YES! ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ The additional support from the Ergotune really help to reduce back pain and discomfort, which ultimately helps with productivity (and also gaming ๐). But if WFH is just an occasional thing, IKEA works just as well for shorter periods!
Nevertheless, Iโm still on the hunt for my ideal office chair with a nice cushioned seat. Looking at a secondhand Herman Miller Aeron maybe? Let us know if you have any recs! ๐๐ผ๐ฌ
