Hey Shelby, really useful tips - thanks for sharing! Would really appreciate if you could tell us which of the Soma chairs is the most comfortable one? Or which one would you personally recommend? Thanks!

Hi! Thanks for watching, I'm glad you got something out of it. As you know, if you looked it up, the SOMA chair has hundreds of different configurations. I prefer the SOMAComfort line with a Rocker mechanism and seat pan slider. The size of the seat pan, shape of the back, and height range of the chair is based on the user, so I can't say exactly what I'd recommend for you, but you can msg me and we can talk. I recommend getting arm brackets first, but not arm rests to save on cost, since many people don't actually need arm rests. If you know you need them, I recommend the 4" ht/width/360 rotating with slider (slider not as important as the other things IMO). I most frequently recommend the very short W with 2 lumbar or the next taller MCW backrest with 1 lumbar, but again, that's a generality and doesn't necessarily apply to you.
I actually rep this chair because I like it so much, and because I can't just say "medium". That means I can get you way less than retail prices. That doesn't mean you have to purchase through me at all. It just means it is an option. :)
