What do you guys rate as a great office chair, for perhaps £250? Fed up of having an aching back after a day in the office. Ta
I use the Markus from Ikea, about £125. Good back support, height adjustable and very comfy. Had it for about 9 months and its doing fine
My current one is an Ikea one, and it creaks and what-not.. will add it to the list of ones to consider though, and we're there tomorrow by chance so will try one out
The Aeron by Herman Miller. Bought new they are definitely outside of your budget (and mine), but luckily there is a teeming trade in used chairs because they are so popular. Pick one up at eBay for less than £200,-- if you shop around. Get the "Size B". Size A is for petite girlies and Size C is for big phatties.
Another Ikea Markus user here. Got mine in June 2010. A couple of weeks back the piston started playing up, 5 days later a brand new Markus delivered to the door and the old one taken away. 10 year no quibble warranty. Fantastic service from Ikea and a really comfortable chair too.
Ikea makes surprisingly awesome stuff when it comes to human comfort. Their matrasses are second to none. I recommend an Ikea bed to anyone.
aww im well in C country! Edit; oh! I read it wrong, I am B or C! thats a relief, Im not a big phattie!
I also use one of these chairs daily at home, and my work chair is a Herman Miller Aeron. Both are comfortable, however on the occasions I have a bad back, the Markus is way more comfortable. I also like the extra height on the Markus, it supports your head when you lean back. The Aeron I have does not.
This is what i use http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Swivel-Chair-Blue-Upholstered-Seat-and-Back-/320785303396?pt=UK_BOI_Office_Equipment_Supplies_Office_Furniture_ET&hash=item4ab04b4764#ht_500wt_1202 not the best
Ikea Markus owner here as well, although at work we use the Aeron. Personally I prefer the high back so I can rest my head a bit
