Looking for a new computer chair
Like the title says, I want to buy a new computer chair. The problem that I am having is that while you can try out chairs in department stores, they seem to be two-to-three times more expensive than the ones you can find online. However, online you can't actually test the chairs out and must trust product reviews (which are either too few to trust or so many that the 50 bad ones make it seem that the 2,000 good ones are somehow biased, either because they haven't had it for very long before reviewing or just excited about their new chair).
So I'm turning to a few forums that I frequent to get some ideas for products that can be found online. If you've purchased a chair online or know someone who has, and you like the chair/have heard great things about it, find the product online and submit a link.
What I'm looking for: .:A high back:. I am of average height, not super tall or short. Something that is tall enough to rest the neck on, if not tall enough to reach the back of the head
.:Recline:. I don't need a full lay-down-and-fall-asleep recline, but there are some chairs that don't lean back at all, I don't want that. The more recline the better, but I am okay with a typical short recline
.:Adjustable or removable arms:. Even if the chair isn't listed as having adjustable or removable arms, if while installing the chair you manually have to attach the arms... or the screws/bolts that attach the arms to the chair are visible, then they're removable. Sometimes I'm watching Netflix, Youtube, or playing a game with a console controller and I want a place to rest my arms, other times I'm playing games with the mouse and keyboard like League and they get in my way.
.:Comfortable after long hours of sitting:. While I intend to buy an auxiliary pad to increase the comfort of the seat, comfort isn't just in the seat. It's how your neck, back, and arms feel after sitting in the chair after awhile. As it stands, my current chair has non-removable hard plastic arms that make my arms sore after awhile, prevent me from crossing my legs, and make sitting upright difficult unless you're planting your feet parallel to the ground.
I don't need the king's throne of office chairs. I am not looking for a $1000 char to be as cheap as $100. There many, many chairs listed that physically fit the aspects of what I'm looking for, it's just, as I said, the reviews are either bad or too diverse enough that I hesitate. A personal review from members here (as well as the few other forums I've posted on) will make me feel much better. So what can you suggest?
