I know, but still I've had my current chair for years and I really don't like it anymore. Obviously exercising will help my back (and I was going to say that in my post) but I'd really like a comfortable chair as well.

Are you sure it is the chair that makes your seat uncomfortable?
If so. Read through the thread. There are a lot of good suggestions.

I don't have scoliosis. But I got similar problem.
I'm going to visit the gym once a week to work my core muscles. In addition I go swimming 3 times a week.

After I try this. If I still got problems. I will order a Hermanmiller - Aeron.

I have used a 20 dollar walmart chair from a 100 dollar executive chair. I now sit on an old dining room table chair made out of wood.
For the Dominion!

Really? Although I know that hard surfaces force you to use your muscles to keep good posture. But wood table chair sounds painful.

Have anyone tried the Ergohuman chairs in comparison with the Aeron chair? It seems good by the looks of it. And the description seems good. I think I have come down to choosing either Aeron or an Ergohuman-ME7ERG.
(ME7ERG is a V1)

Are you sure you're not just reluctant to consider other chairs because of the Aeron's popularity (which is thanks to its age)? The biggest problem with Aeron is that you have to pick the correct size, otherwise the chair is going to sort of suck. Plus it's also nearly twice as expensive as the Ergohuman you are now considering.

Get a Haworth Zody second-hand. People say it's better than Aerons for less money. It was certainly one of the best 200 dollars I spent (I got a clean used one)

I have had bad chairs for a long time. And I want to give myself a good comfy chair. I don't have high standards trust me

I am leaning more towards the Ergohuman though. They are cheaper.
And I am just considering Aeron because some of my friends got it.

Edit: I didn't know you had to buy it in different sizes. That being said. I might just go for the Ergohuman. I'm going to check out the zody as was mentioned above.

I'm in the UK also looking for a good chair. I'm around 6'2" and I'm looking for something no more than say £200-£250 GBP. Any ideas? My current chair is this and I've had it for a while and it is just no longer comfortable, plus I could do with something that could adjust a little higher if possible:

Do you need a pole? I ask because your logical leaps are becoming logical vaults and your mental gymnastics are Olympic standard.

That's pretty bad for you if you sit for long periods you'll get visible and painful sores.

I think Ergohuman is a good choice. You can regulate the height of the lumbar support. And you can get it with a neck rest. I think neck(cervical) posture is something people don't think that much about. It seems that people focus more on lumbar support - which is also important don't get me wrong!

I think good padding is important as well. Sitting on a hard chair can hurt after long periods of gaming/studying.

"Slumping" or "Slouching" - Lead to Dowager's Hump. Basically - Your spinous processes of your cervical vertebrae are crushed towards the ligament that runs over them - causing friction. Your body will produce more fatty tissue there to support this friction or grinding - leading to what is called "Dowager's Hump".

Slouching also contributes to double chin. (Have you noticed a lot of students and gamers have this - even when they are skinny?) The anterior muscles and skin gets stretched because of slouching - and the skin's stretch makes more room between. The body fills this area with adipose/fat tissue = Double chin.

Slouching / Slumping = Bending your neck forward. Instead of having it vertical relative to your thoracic vertebrae.

I'm not sure what chairs that are considered ergonomic are within my price range and available in the UK. Any suggested brands/sites/models?

As I said. I think Ergohuman might be just within your budget. They are cheaper than Aeron. I would look up on them if I were you! Tell me if they are too expensive. There are several models that cost different.

All of the Ergohuman chairs I see are £300-£400+
