Hey guys,

                 I've had my current chair for about 6 years now and it is has a need to be replaced, I have a bit of sciatica and so I need something with alot of back support. Unfortunately my Wife wont let me spend that much on it and I am limited to between ?50 - ?100, I think this is enough to get a decent chair and some of the chairs I have in mind are below.

 

Can you suggest any?

I had that first chair!!!!

 

One fairly hefty fault - the bolts holding the arms on also hold the back upright.  And they don't go deep enough.

 

Cue me sat on the chair, lean back, arm springs off, back half falls down and I'm on the floor wondering WTF just happened.

Good mental gif, I'll scratch that one off the list then :D

I have a mesh chair from Staples.

But it's often half price, which is probably about right (when I got it I payed around ?85). I'd never buy a chair online though - no idea if it's going to be comfortable without actually sitting in it first.

I bought one from Ikea 8 or 9 years ago, still using it, I would suggest considering one from there, I forget what mine was called, but it had a round base, it swivels a full 360degrees, and reclines, only modification I had to make to it, was I bought some MDF board to raise it slightly so it was more comfortable when sitting at my  pc desk

edit, sorry, it cost me about ?60 or ?70 at the time, and another ?10 for the MDF board

I have this chair and it's been recently been highly rated by sites that normally recommend $1000 chairs so that's a good indication

Also I have lower back issues and this chair is very comfortable for someone like me

Might be out of your range depending on sales and whatnot

That's actually the chair I want to replace, I've had it for years and it leans to one side and I think this isn't helping my sciatic issue. Thanks for posting though :)

I be had bad experiences with office chairs, usually the whole thing rests on two bolts which warp and break after a year or so. Ive switched to a proper lether recliner and haven't looked back.

Invest in one they're not that expensive and the extra space on the sides is great for the mouse

    • Get $50 of aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim credit for just $24.97

      By News Staff · Posted

      Get $50 of aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim credit for just $24.97 by Steven Parker Today's highlighted deal comes via our Apps + Software section of the Neowin Deals store, where you can save 50% off aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler Lifetime eSim Credit: Pay $24.97 for $50. Stay connected affordably in 120+ countries/regions with your own lifetime eSIM! An eSIM is a digital SIM card. It's basically just mobile data. Once it's activated on your device, it can connect you to data networks in other countries – giving you an internet connection with NO roaming charges. With aloSIM, you can load prepaid eSIM data packages onto your phone, tablet, or computer. Your lifetime eSIM never expires, so it's yours forever and there are never any monthly charges. You'll get $50 in eSIM data credit, which is almost always enough to cover all your data roaming needs for a full year. But if you run out of data, you can always top up your lifetime eSIM and stay connected internationally. Pay $24.97 for a lifetime eSIM with $50 in travel data credit Use your eSIM to join data networks in 120+ countries Install your lifetime eSIM on a compatible device to roam on local data networks Your lifetime eSIM never expires, and can be topped up with more data anytime Many data packages cost as little as $4.50 and last 7 days. Depending on the package you choose, the length of time varies. Good to know Length of access: lifetime For NEW customers only Instant digital redemption Once you add your $50 credit to your aloSim account you have up to 12-months to use it — after that your credit will expire When you pay for a data plan you also get a free phone number (via Hushed) for the same duration of your plan that was purchased - IE 7 day eSim plan gives you a free 7-day phone number Purchased coupon must be redeemed and used within 12 months This deal is not stackable (one offer per aloSIM account) A $4.50 data package will last 7 days The data DOES expire, and you WILL NOT have any leftover data for your next trip unless it takes place within the validity period. While the eSIM never expires, the actual data package is only valid for the length of time stated at purchase (i.e. seven days after activation, 30 days after activation, etc.) So if you buy a seven-day package and only use a tiny bit, that package is still going to expire after seven days. Access options: mobile (check compatibility) Max number of device(s): 1 Updates included Here's the deal: This aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim $50 Credit normally costs ... $50, but it can be yours for just $24.97 for a limited time, a saving of $25 (50% off).
