Haworth Fern review
The commenter purchased a Haworth Fern after testing it alongside the Steelcase Gesture and several other chairs. They found the Fern provided better overall support with a more balanced seat firmness that was neither too soft nor too hard. The Fern's back support worked better for their posture needs, and they appreciated the more minimalist adjustment approach that was easier to understand than the Gesture's numerous options. The Fern felt more responsive to their movements and provided good support without feeling constraining. They're pleased with their choice and feel it was the right decision over the Gesture.
Pros
- Better overall support
- Well-balanced seat firmness
- Superior back support for posture
- More intuitive adjustments
- Responsive to movements
