Dudes, what do you park your *censored* on when you're using your primary computer? Yesterday, I finally decided my old chair had to go and I went to Staples (http://www.staples.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/StaplesProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10001&prodCatType=2&catalogId=10051&productId=155700&cmArea=SC2:CG32:CL142572)and bought a chair. Here's what I got:

The chair was a clearance item, so the price was reduced to $60.
Now, my *censored* is happier, and so in my back.

thats great news.. i need a new chair too
-
I could perhaps use a new chair, but I like this one (read: I'm too tight to spend money on a chair)
It was free from the guy across the road.
-
I think a Lazy Boy recliner would make my *censored* more comfortable.
Maybe with a screen on the ceiling and on the desk, that way, if I want to recline, I can do it without having to strain my neck and eyes to see the screen. Just look up. and I guess the keyboard would have to be on a swivel tray of some sort.
Speakers mounted by the ears.
... oh and a sub in the seat so it feels like a get a massage. :P
and while I'm dreaming.... never mind, I'm done....
-
I have a laptop, so I go wherever.
Right now, I am sitting in a study room chair, its kind of like a winged chair, but the winged part is folded inwards... (Not sure what they are called)
It does not recline or anything, but it works...
-
My chair is just a chair....
It has an adjustable back so I can lean back when i'm tired or waiting for something to load or something.
-
I just have a bog-standard "leather" office chair. Does the job. Although, the lazy boy is an interesting idea...

mines a fold up lawn chair w/ cup holders

I'm a BIG fan of mesh type chairs, they're very comfortable and they breath. I've had several other chairs and one of my biggest complaints was always that I'd get sweaty / uncomfortable after sitting in the chair for several hours. I couldn't seem to find a picture of my exact chair but there are several examples of these types of chairs at.

Having adjustable back lumbar support is also a nice feature.

Staples had one or more of the mesh-type chairs and I was tempted to get one. It seemed comfortable and I thought about the cooling benefit of the air flow that you mentioned. Making a final decision was difficult. They had many models of chairs and, of course, they all feel a little, or a lot, different.
That visit to Staples on June 6 was not the first time I had looked at chairs. But, I was really getting fed up with the old chair. The underlying seat cushion material (presumably a foam type material) had lost it's elasticity, so sitting on it felt almost like sitting on a board. It felt hard. The new chair has a higher back, with better lumbar support than the old chair. The chair back actually comes up to about shoulder level when I'm sitting in it.
I looked at one chair in the store which had unique features, features which I think more chairs should have. It had three handles on the right side under the seat, whereas most chairs had one. One of those handles could be used to adjust the tilt angle of the chair back. And, I believe another one allowed the user to adjust the tilt of the seat. This just makes good sense, doesn't it? How many years now have car featured adjustable seats? I doubt there's a single car made today that does not have adjustable seat backs.
