I need some opinions on these 2 office chairs I'm considering

Hey guys, I'm new here, a lot of times my searches on google lead me here, so I think it's finally time I made an account.
I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe with everything going on.

So here is why I brought you here today, I have been searching relentlessly for a quality chair within my budget of $350. I have 2 contenders, each with their flaws, and I am open to more suggestions by all means. I'm looking for well rounded adjustments, some form of adjustable lumbar support, and a head rest. I know, thats a pretty tall order for the budget. I've looked locally for some Herman Miller Aerons but I can't find any in a reasonable distance, but I will continue to hunt.

The first chair, that I am most interested in is this chair, the Pursuit Ergonomic Chair

There is pretty limited information on this chair in terms of user experience, I've looked long and hard. From what I have gathered is that this chair is the most comfortable chair people have experienced coming from cheap office chairs, and some people say the opposite. One criticism I have seen commonly, is that the arm rests are hard as frozen bologna, so they just need some pad covers. I'm more concerned about the seat cushion, it looks like it could be pretty comfortable, but it also looks a little on the scarce side in terms of foam denseness.

The other chair that interested me is the Autonomous Ergo Chair 2

I'm not gonna lie, Jayztwocents made a video about his and it got me pretty interested. Theres a fair bit more information available about this chair, evidently there was a bit of trouble with a kick starter campaign, over them being a reseller.
I just care about if my butt will be happy. From what I gathered, this chair is pretty crazy in terms of adjust-ability, pretty much every single thing can be adjusted, and it looks pretty good too.
Here are my concerns: People have said the seat cushion leaves a lot to be desired, some saying it leaves them sore. Others have said that the arms will eventually break, and that the lumbar support is too hard.


I know you can't expect perfection, but I just want to make a well informed decision and spend my money wisely.

I look forward to any suggestions or personal experiences with either of these chairs

It's like buying a car, you have to check it out in person.

Also a consideration, if you're heavy the cheaper chairs will wear out faster. So yes, you get what you pay for. Your best bet may actually be surplus furniture (off lease, etc) if that is available in your area. Then you get something like Steelcase or Herman Miller for a similar price point. Those will last.

^This^ a thousand times ^This^
Last chair I bought I made a list of in-stock chairs on the website for the 3 stores that sold them in my area.
Came up with something like 16 possibles, went and sat in all of them, only 4 were actually worth considering.
And only 2 were good choices.
Ya gotta put yer ass in the seat, before ya buy 😉
