Hi Overclockers

I'm working from home and will be for at least a few months.
I'm in need of a new good, comfortable office/gaming chair.
I currently have a stool and my back is starting to hate me.
Years of recklessness and delivery driving have destroyed my spine and I feel myself arching over like a medieval bridge.

My desires:
- Lumbar support
- Adjustable height and backrest
- Preferably have adjustable arm rests
- Be relatively plain due to zoom/teams etc meetings
- be under £200 if possible
 
Used Humanscale Freedom should be within your price range. I bought a used one for £135 delivered and it's amazing, so much so that I've bought a second one (£182 this time, demand seems to be quite high).
Looks really good. I've found a refurbished one for £175. Want to be able to sit in them but it's near impossible currently.
 
You need to try and sit in them if possible. Hard I know right now. Based on various threads online, I tried a humanscale freedom and the infamous Herman Miller Aeron. Each had issues for me personally.
I've found in general that I find seats uncomfortable that most think are really comfy but I have a pretty weird back so I put it down to that. As you say, I need to sit in them and find out.
Got my first good chair after sitting in my house mates DX Racer whenever he was out.
