    Comfortable Computer/Office Chairs

    I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations regarding a comfortable computer chair between the prices of 100-200.


    This is the one that I am looking at for my mom. Our current one gives her back problems

    What's Wrong With the Chair: Sitting and the New Ergonomics, just to mention one of many decent articles about the matter.

    Just saying, when it comes to chairs, comfortable will usually lead to back problems. There are thousands of comfortable chairs out there, but even if you buy her a neat one, educating her on what she can do and how she can seat to strenghten her back or at least not to hurt it, will/would be a way greater gift.

    Learn it. Live it. Love it.


    Yes, it's not in your price range, but it will last longer than most $100-$200 chairs.

    I've had my office depot chair for 3 years @ $88.00 on sale. Feels good man.

    I need a new chair as well. I've had the same one for 2 or 3 years now and about a year and a half ago the wheels broke while I was moving it. I never replaced the chair so now I have to position the chair just so otherwise it can tip over. Sheer laziness that I haven't gotten a new one. I've considered just stealing a wheel from a display model at target but i'd probably get caught...over a wheel.

    Computer chairs are one of the few things I'll happily pay a LOT for - my old one did for my back over the years. This one's one of the high price ones from Staples and it's still comfortable as fook... meaning I spend a permanent battle evicting the cat and bloody dog from the damn thing if I move in two seconds (although the dog does look cool as fuck sitting in a spinny black chair with a "well Mister Bond we've been expecting you" look on his face).

    Love my Aeron. You can get them for around 400 on ebay. I'll never buy a cheaper chair again, since they typically only last a year or 2... while this one will at least 10.

    Anyone have experience with these types of chairs? http://www.amazon.com/Ergonomic-Knee...3875222&sr=8-2

    I have a regular computer chair right now and find myself perpetually uncomfortable, which is unfortunate considering how often I use my PC. I figure I don't necessarily need a chair with a back anyway since I sit cross-legged--which would be fine, except it eventually causes my feet to fall asleep. I'm curious if one of these weird "kneeling" chairs might fix the problem, but I'm wary of buying chairs without sitting in them first...

    I wanted to thank everyone for their input as it was greatly appreciated. Probably going with the one in the OP as I have the lowest possible chance of my mom complaining about it since she picked it out <_<.

    I'd probably fall asleep in this one.

    I support Pikarya/Vandole's choice. I've had the leather one for somewhere around 6 years at a guess and I still love it. Brilliant product.
