New chair needed

Hi all

I bought a new chair at Christmas, it had fairly good reviews and reclined, has heated seat and massage, however yesterday I was stretching down to pick up something from the floor when something snapped, so now it tilts to the side!
I need a decent heavy duty chair, I weigh about 20st not bothered about all the bells and whistles as long as it reclines and is comfy for long use, and not to expensive!

Thanks in advance.

Got a particular budget?n Do you want it completely brand new or do you not mind paying less for a used expensive chair?

up to £150, don't mind either option really

Ikea Markus is the best chair for your budget.

At that budget I can't think of anything except the IKEA chairs. Are they in stock though?

Aim a little higher and you can get a refurb Herman Miller or something like that. I bought a Humanscale Freedom which is great for long days working, sitting at the PC. I think there are better chairs out there though.

My reasoning is this:
If you sit at a desk for your job, 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, it's going to influence your body a lot. I bought a £60 chair and it was truly uncomfortable. I invested in a more expensive chair so I didn't ruin my back.
It's the same for beds - spend money where you spend most of your time.
