For sitting at a computer then for function over form, the Herman Miller Aeron is an excellent chair. Just make sure you get the right size.

If you want something a bit more stylish and comfy then I'd recommend the Charles Eames lounge chair. They are very comfortable. You can get it with or without the ottoman. I'd get it unless you're stuck for space.

EDIT: Didn't see the £100 post.

If I wasn't off travelling soon then that chair would be high on my list of things to get. I think I just had a chairgasm.

But sadly a comfy chair, won't fit in my backpack, so it will have to wait.

I'm still thinking of picking one of those up myself, probably second hand (although that's still going to be at least £250!).

Ive been looking for a good chair for a while without luck, the staples ones seemed cheap and nasty when I seen them in store, ordered a chair from the net and it was really uncomfortable and sent it back, then I seen one I liked but it didn't have padded arm rests which I like so that was out the window. Thought about a Herman from the bay but worried that I wont like it. The search goes on....

Dark shadows looks nice but not height adjustable

The Fulkrum II isn't a bad choice. I got mine for £280 new, which is a fair bit cheaper than the HM Aerons I was also considering.
