I dunno if this is a conspiracy or something, but I simply chuckle at this.

I feel like chairs are a waste of money unless you're sitting on a wooden stool.
Much more important to just have a chair that's simply built for your body-type.
Well you can spend 100-200 dollar on a great chair for you specifically while spending countless hours going to various stores to test and fine one or you can spend 300+ on a chair that you can adjust everything to fit you. And then there is durability questions, cushions. Personally I just spend about 100 on a chair every 3-4 years usually though a sale or something on a half decent chair that I found fits me. My latest one I got from office max for 60 bucks awhile back

it's perfectly suited for me; do I think it will last probably not but I don't rough shit up so al my stuff tends to last for awhile. And for 60 bucks I wouldn't mind if it broke in 3.

It has great height for your head to rest, great lower back support so you can sit for a while without any discomfort, very adjustable in height depending on how tall you are. Also it has a great mesh back to allow for a bit of breathing so you dont get all sweaty and stuck to the back. Its £125 check it out if you have an Ikea nearby: http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/20103101/
This is a great chair that I use. I've had mine for nearly two years and it's sturdy, adjustable, comfortable... +1 to this

This is the one I got around christmas, rh logic400 with all the features from factory outlet at 700€ (about 1400€ new with this finnish, amazing deal :D). I have always had back problems but this kinda seems to fix them, its absolutely dream to sit on and it has this "active sitting" thing on it its not locked to still position as it kinda rocks back and fort and you adjust it to your weight, it really helps with the posture and does miracles to my back :D
Funny thing, my mom has the older model logic4, she has had it for over 10years (the same chair!) and it still feels like a new one nothing gotten loose or makes any funny noises or anything. Amazing chairs.
e. expensive? in 10 years I have used over 1000€ to shitty ikea/whatever cheap atk chairs that need to be replaced often and dont even give proper support for posture!

I need a new chair as well. mine has started to rip apart haha. i will be reading this thread closely =D

I spend most of my time at my desk. Mainly because I am a student and have to spend +5 hours every single day - because I am studying medicine. But also because my hobby is playing starcraft. I can't believe I have fallen for cheap "ikea" chairs so many times. (3 chairs now for my 3rd year at university)
I really should just man up and get an Aeron chair. A full mesh would be perfect.
Invest money in things you spend time on. As for a good bed. And a good chair. (Good pc already covered lol)

I have to add.
I don't see why DXRacer chairs should be good for you. They are completely straight. With no curves. All that is different is that they got a back tilt added. Am I right?

Well they do give you a pillow for lumbar support... really cheap if you ask me >.>
Aeron has tilt fyi. Any good chair will have tilt.

Yeah I wrote that wrong. I meant - all the DXRacer has compared to a regular ikea chair. Is a function to tilt the back separately.
I know the Aeron has tilt and a lot of more stuff. I just wanted to point out that I do not see why the DXRacer chair should be considered a good chair.

Im recently bought a DXRacer, and im gonna give a link to a page, http://www.needforseat.de/eu_english/dxracer/needforseat-dxracer-vs-noname/index.html this pretty much shows the dxracer vs a ikea chair, and all the cheaper chairs i have had, had these wooden boards in seat and back, which is rather uncomfy, whereas the dxracer is made of comfy soft foam. you seat really comfortable in it, and the armrest on most of the chairs have around 8 different heights settings, so its very comfortable, can definitly recommend then
im not much of a social party person, ill be the first to admit that lol. That also means i spend alot of time infront of a pc, talking 8hours streaks, and i can deff feel a difference about the wood chairs, and the dxracer, im not saying theres not better chairs. At my work im a technical designer apprentice, which means i also sit infront of a pc all day, but the chairs there costs around 1.000 USD. and tbh i cant really feel much difference.

I wish more people could share us their experiences with the Aeron chairs! 
I am so close to ordering! :D

Sit on a wooden chair. Alter your seating position every 10 minutes. never get back problems...ever. Or get a needforseat Dx racer :D

I have to say that at my old job (911 dispatcher - 12h shifts in the same chair) we had a few different types of chairs and the AERON was preferred by a majority of the employees. (Ambi and some sort of very adjustable high back executive chair were the other choices).
However, for the past 3 years I've just been using a cheap ikea chair (this but without the pattern). Personally I don't like arm rests or the ability to tilt - if I'm using the keyboard/mouse - and I've never had any aches or pains.

Anyone have any tips for keeping good posture?
I was at the masseuse today. And he(lol) told me that I have turtle neck. He explained it as I have my back hunched. Not that my back is hunched. But he said he could see I spent hours studying with my neck and back bent towards the desk.
I have done this for a very long time. And I actually think it is difficult to keep my posture in the correct way now even for 1 hour.
Anyone have the same experience with some solutions?
(I am considering getting an aeron to help aid the problem)

You cannot fix this problem with buying a chair. I got the same problem and went to a sports doctor and he told me that without solid torso muscles you cannot sit straight ever. So I would recommend to do fitness instead of buying a chair even if its not the most convenient solution but in the long run it pays back.

Ok Thanks.
I go swimming 3 times per week. I thought that was enough :o

Hey guys, I need a new chair. I have minor scoliosis (or at least my doctor said it wasn't something to worry much about) and everyday I have back pain. I sit at school for 7 hours and an extra 5-6 hours playing games at home (so 12-13 hours per day). I'm looking for something that is ergonomic and comfortable and that I can sit in for long periods of time without experiencing much back pain. I've looked through this thread but I'm not really sure about some of them.

Scoliosis. I would suggest (as EuSpex said above) working out. EuSpex said this: "You cannot fix this problem with buying a chair. I got the same problem and went to a sports doctor and he told me that without solid torso muscles you cannot sit straight ever. So I would recommend to do fitness instead of buying a chair even if its not the most convenient solution but in the long run it pays back." And practice sitting with right posture.
