Recommend me a comfortable chair for 6-8 hours use a day $200 max.

Thread Starter 
Okay, so I (without any forethought) purchased a $79 Sams Club special about 6 months ago and my back(side) is protesting my decision everyday. i'm looking for something under $200 that I can sit in for 6-8 hours a day relatively comfortably. This is not 6-8 hours nonstop as I do get up and move around periodically to avoid DVT but even so my current chair is terrible. Any ideas?

Not an option for me as my right ankle was crushed in a hit and run when I was 13.

Try grabbing a used Steelcase Leap off of craigslist in your area. That's probably your best bet at that price range.

not sure if your still looking, last chair i picked up was a mirra which is a bit more than your budget. if i was to pick out a chair at that budget point i would probably go with something like B2007(Link) or something like 55403(Link). the first is a bit below your budget the second is well above but was at or a bit above 200 also there are lesser versions of the chair without features like the headrest or maybe just wait/see if the price fluctuates frequently.

that being said i have not used any of these chairs, just what i would have gotten if i had not got the mirra.
