Depends on your requirements in a chair...

@HootyTheNightOwl Long time seating.
@Riemann Lol... that doesn't really tell us much... you can sit for a long time in just about any chair - whether it's a good chair for you or not is a different matter.

We don't know what your requirements are or how much you might be looking to invest in a chair...

I know that I need good height adjustment and back/butt support in my next chair. I might also be in the market for a heated pad that I can use on it in order to reduce my pain levels on bad days.

@HootyTheNightOwl My budget is below 60gbp. Height adjustment. Comfortable.
@Riemann I know it's a little over budget... but what about this one???

@HootyTheNightOwl Good one, fellow swr understanding another one so not surprised.
Thinking of fake leather type too, as it'd probably be easier to clean.
@Riemann But way over the £60 budget you're looking to spend, though.

In the ideal world... I'd likely look to spend somewhere around £200 and get a chair with heat and massage capabilities - working on the assumption that I spend +12 hours of my day sitting in an office chair. For me, it's an investment in my comfort that my body will thank me for over time because I will have dual means of controlling my pain throughout the day.

Once I get to the point where I am working and have financial independence, I will likely do that for however long I remain imprisoned here because I will be spending just as long as I do now if not longer working on my computer.

Let's say my £200 chair breaks after 4 years, I've only spent £50 per year on it - which works out at the equivalent of the average cheap chair that I currently use per year.
@Riemann There's this one at Ikea... but it doesn't look as comfortable to sit in...
