Office chair you can actually relax in

Looking for something a bit different from your usual "gaming" chair. I'm getting on a bit and often use my computer to watch films/YouTube while the misses watches her stuff. I have a Habda (I think) swivel chair and while it's nice to sit in when fully awake/working, it's not comfortable to kick back in. Also planning on getting a foot stool, slippers and a tartan blanket

Any recommendations for a luxurious padded lounging desk chair?

E: I'm 6ft and ~77KG

I'm after something similar and I'm currently looking for somewhere to try a Stressless Office chair. They look as if they would tick the boxes for me although they're expensive so I'd much rather try one than blindly order one.

Let me know how you get on if you try one! Do you have a link to the one you are looking at?

I called in to my local branch of HSL but unfortunately they didn't have any with the wheel bases, they only had a few with round base and they were far too low. Really comfy chair but it would be more just for kicking back & relaxing in as opposed to sitting at a desk. There's another stockist near me which I'll try as well and hopefully they'll have the office wheel base version.

If you google ergonomic office chairs online, there is a good website where I got one of those ergonomic mesh chairs with lumbar support, it has lasted me since 2014 and still going strong, quite comfortable and I think it cost me around 150 pounds back then.
