I have a 20-year old rocking chair.
Very comfortable, and has lower lumbar support.
Just a little rough on the carpet.

I've never heard of any of those brands. I've got two killer leather office chairs that my wife brought home from her office when they got new ones.

I got me a nice leather one from best buy, it ran me $150....its really nice.

I use one of the ergonomic chairs where you sit on your knees. I love it and it has helped my back tremendously.

any details on these chairs? there are a couple leather chairs at best buy... i will have to see again. those ergonomics dont look that comfortable, i cant imagine kneeling/sitting in one for several hours. i mean, doesnt your back get tired from just maintaining the posture.

I've had occasional back problems over the years, and so I have a couple of professional quality ergonomically adjustable office chairs (they're the conventional kind you sit in or on, and you don't kneel or anything like that). The ones I have are something like this, but I think they have more adjustments.

I would look for a chair like the above with as many adjustments as you can afford. You also might want to use on of these to put your keyboard at the right level. I've found that sitting squarely in a properly adjusted chair makes all the difference for me.

BTW, I also spent some time adjusting my monitors and indirect lighting to reduce eyestrain.

See this and this.

I was at Best Buy today and was looking at the chairs. Very tempting indeed. Mine has collapsed (padding has compressed from age) and is uncomforatable. I will definitely return soon. I prefer cloth seats tho as I wear shorts at home, especially in warmer weather. I have the non-breather variety now and gets sweaty after extended periods. They had one very comfy chair for $50 (+ tax)

I have a crappy wooden folding chair (like the kind you'd expect to see at some Fire Hall Bingo night) with an ugly pillow to soften it a little. I envy each of you.

I envy everyone even more. I'm stuck with a fold-up metal chair for a while..
