    My chair broke this morning and now leans about 20 degrees to the left. Since this is a forum of people who work on computers all day, I figured someone must have a decent recommendation.

    I could use a new one too.


    I saw a fancy Germany chair one time that was like £800 and made of kevlar or something that apparently all you fancy people use.

    Here's what I use. I like to have a can of Fosters in that drinks holder whilst I work. The alcohol helps me concentrate.

    Also, sometimes I have a fishing rod with me just to complete the image.

    Just get one of those chairs where you sit on a wire-like mesh so you can fart without turning the goddamn thing into a stink sponge

    My chair isn't the best either and I did some research on my own, and this top 5 looks pretty nice. I guess I'll get the Herman Miller Embody anytime soon, if I got the monies for it.

    I would test-sit a couple of IKEA-chairs if I were you. Maybe you find one that you sit snugly in?


    I personally use this one at home:

    http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/80074841/


    It doesn't look like much, but it just feels good sitting in and makes you sit straight. I'm 1.96m though, so maybe I have some weird compatibility because of that.


    EDIT: I also generally dislike armrests.

    I still use an outdoor chair that cost me like £50, I kid you not it's the comfiest chair I've ever used after years of £100–£200 computer chairs. I also started just using a meeting/visitor chair at work. I prefer the back support and shit.

    If you're keeping to a budget you get better value for money with traditional chairs rather than computer chairs (which tend to feel really crappy when cheap). Even a basic-ass wooden chair can feel great.

    Yes I have noticed that the cushion on my chair has slowly but surely started to develop a faint smell of stale ass to it. Think I need to throw it in the wash.

    I've had like the same chair for more than 10 years. I don't think they make them anymore...
