Aeron chairs are good if you're in it for long periods of time. My last boss had one and let me try it. They're not immediately comfortable, but supposedly you don't get sore over long periods of time. I plan on getting one in the future, but they cost ~$800 and I have other priorities right now. They're kind of like the top chair to get if you're a computer geek :)

IMO you will not find a decent chair at any box store... Fry's...officemax..costco and the like. They are all cheap junk. Sweaky... lack of springage..wabbly etc. I'd suggest a real corporate office supply store in your area or a la-z-boy contract furniture dealer. Usually thier chairs are spring loaded. you don't notice until after a year the seat "cusion" never sags, never hits bottom. They are build like tanks and they have tones of models....

and so on..

Price range is from $300 -$3000 but worth every penny if you sit and work. As always with anything effecting the sensory NEVER take an online recommendation, check it out yourself. For example while popular your could'nt pay me to take a Aeron..;)
