that's very vague. can you supply more info? If you can try to go to a store that's open to try some to see how they feel. Office stores prob have the best selection. I also recommend checking out costco if your a member, they generally do a good job. Try to think about chairs you've sat in before is there a style you preferred anything you lean towards?
Also just try amazon and read reviews to see how the chair is and remember to use the question box to see how good certain aspects are.
this is like 120 at costco if you like mesh stuff. https://www.costco.com/true-innovations-mesh-chair.product.100654823.html
if you want a gaming/racing chair I recommend amazon they have a good selection of really well reviewed cheap options.
if you can't try a chair I recommend costco their return options are amazing.
adjustable arms are amazing. I'd avoid anything without it. You can also buy extra cushions if the seat doesn't provide quite enough padding on bottom or back

Try looking up 24hr chairs, heavy duty chairs, operator chairs, those kind of keywords.

out of my are of expertise but maybe try executive chairs? I think their designed to last a while. if you look it up on amazon one thing you can do is use the search box to look for keywords like "all day, or many hours" etc and find reviews/questions and answers that give you more information. I think most sites have that feature now and it's really amazing.

This is gonna sound like an infomercial so I apologize, but this is my personal experience with office chairs:
I'd just like to say that if anyone here has the budget and has been pondering getting a higher-end office chair, in my experience it's well worth the investment. I used to use a generic-brand pleather office chair that I believe was about $200 (it's been a while so I'm not 100% on this). It felt cushy and and was really comfortable when I tried it out in the office store. After about 2 years the chair was a wreck. The pleather cracked and shed debris all over the office. The height adjustment cylinder, which was pretty much the only adjustable thing about the chair, wouldn't hold its position and would sink if you sat on it a certain way. The chair made a horrible squeaking/grinding noise whenever the backrest was leaned back. Worst of all, the cushions were worn out and I was getting intense back pain from sitting in it, which is a pretty big deal breaker since I spend most of my waking hours at my computer when I'm not at work. I'm not a big dude either, so it's not like I was abusing the chair with obesity.
I spent weeks researching new chairs and learned pretty quickly to steer clear of "gaming" chairs - especially from a health and back pain perspective. Maybe things have changed in the last 3-4 years, but at the time gaming chairs were all flash and no substance/practicality. I visited some showrooms for the high-end office chairs I was interested in and I was blown away from the comfort and adjustability of them all, even though at a glance it didn't look possible for them to be as comfy as those cheaper chairs with the huge leather cushions. Eventually, I decided on a Steelcase Gesture.
Now here's the hard-to-believe sounds-like-an-infomercial part. When I first received the chair there was an immediate and stark impact on my life. The chair basically forced better posture on me. The back pain was gone within a week and it has never returned. It also felt like the chair energized me. I'm not sure why, maybe it was better circulation, or maybe it was the lack of pain, but I felt more awake and alert sitting in it and my day-to-day mood also improved substantially.
Just under 4 years later and the chair still looks and performs like it's brand new and just got unboxed. The padding is still firm. The cloth is untorn, unblemished, and the color hasn't faded. All the dials and adjustment knobs and springs still have a high-quality feel without any looseness or jiggling. The chair is still quiet and smooth when I lean back in it. I'm still comfortable and alert after spending hours upon hours in it at a time. Literally my only complaint with it is that the armrests aren't as soft as I'd like them to be, but that's how the Gesture is built new so it's not a build quality issue.
That's really what you're paying for when you get a high-quality office chair. Build quality, longevity, and health improvements. I'm not saying the Gesture in particular is the model you should get, but I am saying it is worth the time and money to research your best fit and splurge a little because the investment pays off in a big way.
