Recommend me a chair

[localzuk]

I have been given the go-ahead to buy a new chair for work (and to buy one for our COO also). Please can I have some recommendations? I've been suffering with back issues of late, so one with good back support is key.

 

Think about £150ish is a reasonable price point.

iirc these were a popular choice last time this was discussed

Just bought one of these from ikea for £80, it is unbelievably comfortable!

 

Just have a trip to ikea and try the various chairs, you'll find one!

Not sure if it would come in on budget...

Herman Miller Aeron chairs you can get then 2nd user well worth the money.

As £150 is the price limit, I think they're a little outside our price range! Second hand ones go for £300.

We have Sidiz chairs that were 2nd user and very nice, mesh back and decent shape they were about £70 each from function whos local-ish to us and we use for various things. You couldn't tell they were 2nd user

Have you looked at kneeling chairs - they are supposed to be good for people with back problems

I used to work for someone who had one of these at home and swore it was great to use with a PC

 

Unfortunately he couldn't have one at work as it doesn't have 5 wheels and hence goes against H&S!!!

I suffer with various joint problems and the standard swivel chair at work was excacabsting things. I got hold of these good people Home - Prism Office Supplies and their local rep discussed the situation then called in with a demo chair which he actually set up specifically for me. Left it with me for a couple of weeks to try out - it worked a treat; then came back and ran through getting one made to measure for me. This was even down to a choice of cover. He left the trial unit with me until mine was delivered and when it was set it up again for me. It came in; if I remember correctly under £300 and was well worth every penny. Several other members of staff have also used the service now. Our local rep for the area (Wiltshire) is a chap called Graham Parker.

Needs to be made of RAM, then you could have a large assistant that can only say "SODIMM"
