Ergonomic Chairs. What do YOU have?

Hi folks,
My back is starting to kill me and I am wondering if it's because of the way I am sitting in my current chair. I have one of those $99 "executive" leather chairs that just plain suck and I've been too lazy to go get a better one. So, with that said, can anyone recommend me a good ergonomic office chair to use? Are the legendary Aeron chairs really that good? Their price tags are crazy ($699!). I need help selecting chairs..what should I look for?

I found this website and was wondering if those prices are good. They also have user reviews.

Thanks for any feedback.

 

Try Greg's ergonomic computer chair. Greg (Kneelsit) is a long-time member of IHY (that's how I know him) and has several patents on his design.

 

I have one (kneeler chair) at home and one in the office. When at work for extended hours I swap chairs every few hours.

If you're in the UK I can drop a link to our online shop where we sell posture chairs.

My adivice: Get one with thick padding. You can pick up a chair for dirt cheap but your ass will hurt like hell after a couple of hours. Pay twice the price for a few cm more padding and you will be a happy punter for years...

 

Good chairs are expensive, yes.
But buy, borrow or steal one. You'll never want to go back to anyone chair.
My office chair was about £500 (retail) (around $900). I got it about 4 years ago in a sale for £200.
It has more adjustments than almost anyother chair I've seen. Has about 15 cm of padding all over the chair.
I can sit in it for 5 hours + without having any aches. I often spend in excess of 12 hours a day in that chair.
Well worth the cost.

 

My priority is value for money, therefore I use antique chairs, british ones.
They are not necessarily uncomfortable, it depends on how they have been upholstered, so if you know a good upholsterer, don't rule out buying a piece of antique furniture, especially if you are in Britain!

 

The chair means everything, definitely. Can't stress that enough.

I paid £600 for my home office chair back in 1993 - no typos guys, we're talking back in the old, old days when all you could really find on the internet was .com's and not much else

It's still going strong and I love it

 

I use laptops and wireless.. no need for a desk and office chair anymore..I used to get backpain too after a while. So now I work in different places all day

 

I work while hovering over a sharpened stick. You'd be amazed by how fast you get things done

 

LOL, good one.

Well, looks like IM gonna get a chair soon...the one I have sucks!

 

WOW You make decisions fast

 

ROFL!!!! It only took a month

 

chairs...? You guys have chairs!! I sit on plastic delivery crates, with strips of cardboard for padding.
