I also hear you can get Aerons and other similar chairs for around $300 on Craigslist/FB marketplace when companies are trying to offload them en masse.
Probably not the answer you want to hear but the best office chair is no chair. I only have a standing desk at home and my back/legs are so much better after 3 weeks of WFH than they have ever been.
I researched the same thing yesterday. Looking for something that promotes "active sitting". I came up with this list (for the German market). Most are quite pricey (in the 500-1000€ range): ○ Viasit F1 Move ○ Sedus Swing Up ○ Profim Accis Pro ○ Aeris 3Dee ○ Köhl Anteo Up with AirSeat ○ Rovo .. "Ergo Balance" models YMMV. Bodies are different etc. I'm very interested in hearing about more options as I haven't ordered…
The Haider Bioswing series is missing in this list.

If you want something minimalist I can recommend the HÅG Capisco. It looks a little bit weird, but is really comfy once you get used to it. The chair supports active sitting which means you won’t sit in one position for eight hours straight, instead the chair will invite you to move around and try out other seating positions which will inevitably lead to more movement and stronger muscles. https://store.flokk.com/us/…
I second this recommendation. HAG Capisco is not cheap, it is an investment (that will hopefully last for at least 10 years). It fixed my chronic neck pain using regular office chairs. Before buying it, I suggest you go to a retail shop / showroom to try it.
If you do try to return the chair, note that it's a PITA to disassemble.
None! I use a very uncomfy IKEA wooden step to sit on. I've got a standing desk for years and had a treadmill for a while. But those are loud and take up too much space. You don't WANT to be comfortable. You need to move your body and be forced to stand up as much as you can. Otherwise your body will wither. Every artificial "support" will tell you body it doesn't need to support that part on it's own. That's true fo…

Thank you for the recommendation and the link. I've been lucky to test it once, it is a very good chair. What is the price?

I'm almost 2m tall so always had back and chair problems so I took the opportunity to switch my desk to a standing one for 4 months with a college who went on a project abroad. It was hell from the first to the last day. Not only was standing problematic, it distracted me so much I got angry and used every opportunity to get away from it and to sit and talk to other colleges in their offices (been told about it at some point because I didn't even realise it).
I'd say if you're not OK with it after 4 months, you probably won't be after 4 years.
I joined a swimming club again. It helped.
