tf2arena Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I am looking for an ergonomiccomputer desk chair under $200. My current chair isn't cutting it and is causing back problems.If anyone can give some recommendations that would be nice. I am based in Toronto Canada.I found Pro-Line? II Deluxe Air Grid Back Ergonomic Office Chairon Costco. But I'm not 100% sure that is indeed an ergonomic chair despite it being described as one. I would still like alternatives and recommendations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mindovermaster Moderator Posted September 12, 2014 Moderator Share Posted September 12, 2014 Dang, Hum... I was going to recommend that one as well. I have a chair like that. Different model, but looks similar. I've been happy. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleNeutrino Veteran Posted September 12, 2014 Veteran Share Posted September 12, 2014 Hum, that is the chair I have, and I do not recommend it. about 3 months in it broke down and is very flat all around, almost as if most of the "fluff" was just trapped air in it. I have had it for 3 years now and its just falling apart. not worth the money. +E.Worm Jimmy 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeChipshop Member Posted September 12, 2014 Member Share Posted September 12, 2014 I managed to pick up a Herman Miller Aeron on eBay super cheap (?200, ex office) but that's obviously above your budget. If you can even try to increase the budget a little bit, it's absolutely amazing. +E.Worm Jimmy 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can even try to increase the budget a little bit, it's absolutely amazing. That is what I have (my brother gave it to me, and he had it for almost 10 years!) it still is in the same condition that it was on day 1 !!! (just dustier) Hum, that is the chair I have, and I do not recommend it. about 3 months in it broke down and is very flat all around, almost as if most of the "fluff" was just trapped air in it. I have had it for 3 years now and its just falling apart. not worth the money. before that I went through 2 cheaper costco chairs (each around $200-250) in 3 years they just become FLAT. like you are sitting on wood! they really really do SUCK! i advice not going with cheap "ergonomic" costco crap MikeChipshop 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tf2arena Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 Alright guys I guess I won't be buying the costco one. I found these: http://www.staples.ca/en/Tempur-Pedic-TP8000-Ergonomic-Mesh-Mid-Back-Task-Chair-Grey/product_783237_2-CA_1_20001 http://www.staples.ca/en/Tempur-Pedic-TP9000-Ergonomic-Mesh-High-Back-Task-Chair-Navy/product_783301_2-CA_1_20001 I know I definitely cannot afford a Herman Miller Aeron so that is out of the question. Need something cheaper. I can go up to $500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soldiers33 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I find all computer chairs to be extremely rubbish and cause a lot of back pain. I use a normal kitchen chair at home and that is probably best decision ever. I cant stand sitting behind my desk at work for more than 20 mins without getting up.

I cant stand sitting behind my desk at work for more than 20 mins without getting up. yeah, i used something like that for a while. very very comfy for your butt, and the back support on cheaper chairs is useless to me anyway... go with whatever you want but make sure the warranty is more then 1 year (ideally 3 years) so they can replace the padding for you for free before the warranty expires. they are not bad at the beginning... and when it gets bad, get it replaced. find out all the conditions for replacement!

tf2arena Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 Looks just like a chair I have at work, except this has a mesh seat.

compl3x Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 This might not be of any concern to the OP but does colour matter? I have a glass desk with white drawers so I bought a white chair to match. It all comes together nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soldiers33 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 colour does not matter, just ergonomics and price Everyone will have different request for a chair, I would suggest you go and test a few out, of course you will need to sit there for a bit before you can decide. But still better than asking for recommendation. Its like the seat in my Astra also causes me pain, but its meant to be ergonomic and has lumbar support, which for me causes pain, where as when I had a Megane, it had a flat plain seat and that was extremely comfortable for me. But for others its completely the opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the best point. It's hard to tell how the chair will 'feel' just by looking at pics on the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
