Spec me a chair

My old computer chair has just fallen to pieces, i'm after a new'n. The budget is around £100.

Needs padding and good back support.

Any personal recommendations / ideas?

This is serious.

Needs padding and good back support.

Stulid, that was mean.

But I nearly fell off my chair from laughing

viking direct do chairs, but me and my brother both bought 1 from there, however, after a while it gets squeaky when leaning backwards, apart from that they r good.

Worth having a look in the Ikea office section. I recently bought the one Thekwango linked to and it's fantastic.

I have also found that with a couple of chairs from Viking. They were cheap £35 ones though. I think that's downside of buying cheap office chairs.

Furniture@Work have a good selection of office chairs.

The ones with the mesh backs don't seem to be as back cushioning / comfortable as the others.

What are your thoughts on;

I'm not having any problems with the comfort of the mesh back, it also has lumbar support.

For my new chair I thought of using my old base off my office chair, and use the mounting system with the mounting of a car bucket seat. Mind, it'll be low'ish' and cost a lot more, depending

Still havn't done this though
