Our Verdict

The Herman Miller Mirra 2 is a stylish chair, and it's supremely adjustable. Once you find the right settings for your body, you'll feel supported while you work and the chair will move with you. Finding those right settings, however, can be a little frustrating and long winded, especially as no instructions are provided with the chair. But with a little persistence, you should find the Mirra 2 a good investment.

For

  • Moves with you
  • Very adjustable

Against

  • No headrest
  • Doesn't come with instructions

The Mirra 2 is one of design giant Herman Miller's most popular office chairs. The company describes the Mirra 2 as "lean, light, and as responsive as your own shadow", but can a chair really live up to all that hype? I tested the Mirra 2 to find out.

I've been using the Mirra 2 for about six months now, and I've been sitting at it two-three days a week since then, for several hours at a time. I must say that at first, I didn't get the hype at all, but that was before I adjusted it properly. Once I'd tweaked the chair – even small adjustments made a big difference – I've found it to be supremely comfortable, and a easy addition to our list of the best office chairs for back pain. Is it as comfortable as my own shadow? Perhaps not. But does it do a good job of supporting me while I work, definitely yes. Though there are a few caveats, which I'll outline below.
