Just buy one of those walmart leather chairs for 50-60 bucks and then get yourself one of those electric massage/heater pads for it.Thats what I got and it has been good to me for the past 2 years.

If you live in New York or California, go to one of the millions of Korean PC places, ask the korean guys to let you sit in their chairs, and if you like em, ask them where they got them. :D

I use a big comfy chair you'd nomally find in a living room or something!:D I hate office chairs cause there sooo uncomfy! And have fun "Closing me eyes relaxing in it listening to music
maybe sleeping" on a office chair! And I got this thing I'm using for like five or ten bucks at a garage sale! It turns and rocks kinda so you can lean back and relax. Just my 2 cents!

Some office chairs are really nice.

Just look around at OfficeMax & OfficeDepot (web sites), and hang around the Anandtech Hot Deals forum and keep an eye out for free shipping coupons. :)

Dude dont buy a chair before you sit in it.

I went to office max and bought one for $70 I just thought thois chair was more comfy.

Anyway Nobody in your area ever going to a bigger city with a Office max?

Just sit on one before you buy it!!

My dad is an ergonamist. He customizes people's work station to fit their needs. He has worked all around the U.S.. I asked him your question and the answer is a pellow. Just put a pellow in your chair you currently have. Your not going to find a great fitting chair for $100. A good, long lasting chair costs $300-$500. A pellow will make the chair feel a little more comfortable believe it or not.

Buy a chair that spins, it helps for entertainment while waiting for something to install/download or bootup. :D

of course I dont recomend buying a chair online, you cant see the quality of it or if its very comfortable

Goodwill? You gotta have a Goodwill... or Salvation Army or something. There's lots of used furniture at those places. Got my current computer desk for $5 and it's huge, sturdy and has lots of drawers :)

I have this, very nice. I am not really into leather that much. You might want to go check out some for yourself before buying online. It really depends on preference. Ohh and by the way the most expensive chairs are not always the most comfortable, TRUST ME!!!

I got my chairs for free, so I wish I could help on this one.

If you want to know how I got them, well, the city where I live had alot of internet companies go bust. For some reason a majority of them decided to throw away their chairs instead of sell them. Managed a few chairs from different companies, a desk that is too big for me to use at the moment, and a few file cabnets.

They were just sitting there by a dumpster looking comfortable, why let them go to waste?

LOL. Oh and don't forget height adjustable so when you spin you make it go down too!:)

I paid 90 bucks for this one and now apparently it is 70 bucks:

I really like it although the back doesn't go up all the way so I can't rest my head :(. I have a somewhat bad back from playing volleyball so a comfortable chair is important to me, and this fit the bill.
