~$1200 budget. 6'3 195 lbs

I've had an Aeron size C for a couple years and this chair doesn't work for me. I'm in my chair upwards of 12 hours a day and this chair is too rigid and it feels like only half my thighs are supported.

I'm 6'3, roughly 195 lbs with a ~$1200 budget. Stores around me don't carry many higher end chairs in stock so I don't have the opportunity to try them in person.

I like to lounge and would ideally like a chair that lets me sink into it a bit. Headrest is mandatory. Also need fairly soft/adjustable armrests as I lean on them frequently during the day.

I've been considering:

  • Used Gesture with headrest
  • Used Leap V2 (with an aftermarket headrest)
  • LiberNovo Maxis
  • Lavenne R9 looks nice but also looks like it's brand new without many reviews
