Vote for my next chair!

[nLinked]

Looking for a budget chair, under £200. Must be:

suitable for computer work (Internet research, office work)
watching online TV/movies, leisure time
Short online gaming sessions

Must have some lumbar support and not hurt my buttocks after prolonged sitting

I'm stuck between these two:
One (all leather, fairly thick)
Two (mesh back, leather seat)

Would you go for any of these based on the above requirements? Opinions? Is the mesh back not a good idea for relaxing and watching general online TV or is it actually quite comfortable?

Your links don't work.

Edit: I like the mesh back.

It's a little over your limit, but I would go here:

i like the harmon miller chair, but those are pricey as hell.

Will a mesh back chair be comfortable for watching an online episode where I can slouch into it and relax? Or will I find that I can only sit on it with a perfect posture only? Anyone here with mesh back chairs?

I've never been a fan of the mesh backed chairs. I just don't find them as comfortable, so my vote is for chair #1.

I prefer mesh because it feels a bit cooler/less warm.

Have you actually sat in either of these?

When I bought my last office chair I went to 3 stores and sat in each chair that was the style I was interested in.

I'm glad I did, because the chairs I was looking at on-line weren't as comfortable as the one I ended up getting.

In general though, the mesh chairs have always felt strange to me, so I'd go with the solid one.

2nd. Mesh is always better IMO.

After working at a place where I had a Herman Miller for years I REALLY miss it

Will need to go to a store and try a mesh back one. No idea what they're like. Guess the only way is to actually try it.

Which one did you end up getting?

Thanks all, I have gone for the mesh back.
