Office Chair Recommendations

[SeanMacnamara]

Since I spend 1/3 of my life in bed, I invested in a top of the line Stearns and Foster mattress. Now that I'm quitting my job next month to go full time with IM, I think it's time to invest in a quality office chair. Currently, I have a $200 leather office chair from Costco. While it's a decent chair, it really starts to hurt my lower back after long (8-12 hour) work sessions. Up until this point most of my IM time takes place on the couch while watching Handy Manny with my boys.

Since I plan to spend more dedicated time in an office environment, I want a good chair. Are there any other recommendations other than the ubiquitous Herman Miller Aeron chair?

Any recommendations or insights are appreciated.

If only there wasn't a thread just like this created four days ago.

Yeah, I probably should have thought this one through a little bit more. I did do a search for "office chair" and came up with only six results, the most recent from 2010 from a guy looking to spend only $200 on a chair. In hindsight, I suppose this would be a pretty common question.

Specifically, I'm looking for something WITHOUT a gold penis protruding into my anus.

I know that feel, I too prefer silver over gold.

Herman Miller Aeron or Ergohuman. You can pick up used Aerons for cheap off of Ebay. Great chair.
