    Some ikea black leather chair is what I use did not cost much £25 I think it was in sale, easy to setup comfortable enough for long ish periods.

    Would not recommend spending 100s on an expensive chair, tried a few of the ergonomic chairs they just end up giving pain in back after a while.

    Cheers rollo. I had a look on the ikea website and could only find This one, and at £35 its a little bit expensive, although I can wait until January when I get my next payment from student finance.

    IKEA stuff is usually pretty decently made. It's a lot better than Argos (etc) for the same price. The stuff in the showrooms is so well used so you get a good idea of how long they will last you.

    I would recommend that you buy a office chair that was designed for board meetings which are 2+ hours long. I managed to get a old office chair cheap second hand, and it is very comfortable and wouldn't swap it for anything. It is also built like a tank. Check out gum tree or ebay you might get lucky.

    Ikea Markus is what I have. Great chair. Don't buy something cheap, if you really have to buy something second hand.
