Steelcase Leap Chair

Which is the best executive office chair?
I have a really big budget to buy a great office chair. I need something I can sit in for long periods of time without pain but also looks modern to fit with my office. I have been looking at the Steelcase leap and think, Humanscale Liberty, Knoll life, and Eurotech Ergohuman. Any ideas?
It’s good to see you’re looking to buy a chair for the right reasons, instead of the usual I want the ultimate chair and I’ve got $50 to spend!

These are all quality chairs, I must admit I really like the Leap, and Steelcase also have a newish model out the Amia which is worth a look.
You can read my reviews of some others like Humanscale’s Freedom here http://www.officechairadvice.com/ergonomic/executive/reviews/humanscale-freedom-chair.html
Ultimately, it all comes down to personal preference. Ideally if possible, see if you can find a dealer nearby where you can try out the chairs as that will give you a far better idea of what they are like.
I know Steelcase used to run a 30 day trial on the Leap, but I don’t know if they still do. A reputable dealer should be happy to loan you a chair for a few days to make sure It’s right for you.
