Once you go with one of these, no other will do, though I do like the idea of a recaro or pcar office chair.

i used to have this seat, but it's over rated, i think leather is still the best and most cush. recaro office chairs just look good, but i would invest at least $500 on a good chair.

The seats as used by managers in a Porsche dealership are made by Ahrend.
They come in black leather with a Porsche crest in the headrest.
These seats are nice, but VERY expensive.

Yes...we can get these and the reception seats.

I like the breathability of the HM's, and I don't get a pressure points. But, since I don't spend much time in my chair at home, I may go with comfy leather. At the office, I'll stick with the HM.

I have an Aeron chair from a former Dotcom blow out... they shreded my stock... I took my chair... It was a fair trade. ha ha. Seriously I rolled it out the front door and never looked back. At the time these went for $1200 for the fully loaded chair. It is a very comfortable chair if you spend hours sitting in one stretch.

www.racechairs.com

not trying to get around the rules here, but you asked specifically for this product. We take the actual seats from Porsches, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Maseratis and convert into office chairs.

We are also an authorized reseller of Recaro office chairs and Pininfarina designed Xten office chairs. We are based in Philadelphia and just exhibited at the Philly Auto Show. Currently have one of the Recaro chairs in stock if you are local and want to stop by and try them out, email me at sales@racechairs.com.

For Porsche seats, here is our current instock inventory:

996 GT3 street, black leather
997 standard, sand beige leather and black leather
997 sport, black leather
997 GT3RS, black leather/alcantara
TRG historic edition in 997 Sport
TRG 2009 Champion in 997 Sport

Available with a short delivery time:
997 GT2, black leather/carbon
996 GT3 Race, black leather

Plenty of other selections from other brands of cars and a few race specific seats.

For those doubting the comfort of these, Wired magazine recently ran an article on top 10 ergonomic office chairs and the racechairs Ferrari 360 Daytona was in the list (personally, I sit in the 996 GT3 seat each day and love it).

Recently replaced my leather Recaro office chair with an Aeron. Doesn't look as good - but it is definitely more comfortable.

most sports car seats are designed to angle your thighs upwards, office chairs are designed so that your thighs are parallel with the ground.

i cant imagine the recaro and "sports car" seats to be very comfortable for long periods of time

+1 on the HM... Anything that should be adjusted is adjustable and I can't find a single fault in the chair, especially if you get the right size (I think larger is better). Full leather seats may feel nice at first, but not too good for extended periods... aside from the pressure points, it can get a little warm, not too mention that it wrinkles a cotton dress shirt.
