UK: Looking for a chair. I want something thats not gonna punish me after a few hours of DVD watching. any ideas ?

[IanUK]

Yeah I know I should just get of my backside and go to some office supplies places and try some, and I will, I just thought while I'm on here I'd see if anyone in the UK could recomend a mail order place or a particular model or something.

I was looking at an Argos catalogue and saw this 'Leather Executive Swivel Chair Cat.No. 619/0347, looks alright, anyone sitting on one of these?

HAHA! I had to face up to that problem when I was getting my parents to get me a new chair! The one I have is an IKEA Chair... give me some time and I will find out which one it is! But get a swivel multifunction chair for the PC. If not then get a sofa or couch as StrangeRanger said!

I will go look for a link to that chair for you soon!

The one I got is in blue!

Hope this helped!

Good Luck in Finding one!

Always good to help a fellow U.K Anandtecher...

In Viking Direct (sure you can find it in other places)

They have a nice £299 leather chair. I decided to buy it a year ago

You really want the perfect chair . . . check out this web site:

The Ekornes Stressless chair comes from Sweden . . . am sure you have a UK outlet . . . they are expensive, but well worth it. I have 3 of them, and one is my computer chair . . . the office version on wheels.

Office World & Staples have a good selection of chairs as well! remember their sales end at the end of this month!

Get one with the back high enough to rest your head if you want to watch DVD movies. I'd go to an office furniture store that has alot of models in stock and try them out.

One of my friends used an old recliner/rocking chair. It was the most comfortable chair I've ever used for a pc, he broke off the keyboard holder on his desk, then just sat it in on the armrests....Very nice!!

Cheers everyone
Never been chair shopping before but I'm looking forward to some serious sitting down.
