OK, so this is a little off-topic today, but I am in the process of trying to find a new office chair and I have to say that its been pretty painful. My husband decided to take my chair for his home office so I would have an excuse to get a new chair. But it’s been several days now and I have been working from the couch…and I can’t find a chair that I like. Has anyone else been through this? Who knew that it would be this difficult?
First of all, office chairs are expensive. I’ve had my current chair for over 10 years so I had no idea that a “good” chair was so darn pricey. I sat on every chair in Staples and I didn’t like any of them. I’ve searched online for days and found a few contenders. While I’d love to have an Aeron®, I can’t stomach spending that much on an office chair. So, here’s my list…
Tye High Back Tilter Chair (my husband has this in his office and loves it)
Space 55403 with Memory Foam Chair (I kind of like the idea of my seat remembering the shape of my cheeks)
E-Chair (looks like its got a butterfly in the middle)
@OfficeChairGuy sent me this great post on how to choose an ergonomic chair.
Help me out here folks. What makes a good office chair? Which are your favorites?

I would highly suggest an ergonomic chair. I like Officedesigns.com because I like their site because they have great service and incredibly nice chair.
As a quick update, I ended up going with the Tye High Back Tilter Chair (http://www.sit4less.com/products/global/tye/39). It seemed to be the most ergonomically sound and it got good reviews from my husband and his co-workers. I’ll let you know whether it works out!
