If you're a knowledge worker that spends 8+ hours a day at the PC, I think a good chair is a great purchase.
For one thing, a bargain basement office store chair starts falling apart in a couple years so the cost savings isn't real in the long run. And for another thing, your back and neck will be killing you after a while and you'll want to go spend cash on physical therapy.
Some people are a bit squeamish about buying used chairs, but there's some good deals out there with many companies liquidating their office properties.
Personally I went with a Herman Miller Embody. I've had it for a few years now....still feels brand new despite sitting in it 10 hours a day and I'm hopeful it will last at least a decade.

Yes they are worth it; it's much cheaper than back surgery later.

You can get a used or refurbished Herman Miller Aeron for dirt cheap on craigslist or facebook market place or office supply resellers. I've seen them as cheap as $250. The Herman Miller Embody seems even nicer but there no good second hand market to really get a good one for cheap.

The SteelCase series are also extremely good. I got a refurbished SteelCase Gesture for about $500 and it's been amazing. It's not about comfort with these chairs, but about allowing to sit for HOURS without fucking with your back

Alright fags I'm a herman miller expert I have 4 of these chairs:

Best: Aeron. Get a third party matching headrest for maximum comfy. Only chair that doesn't hurt my ass after hours of use. THE BEST ALWAYS

Next best: Cosm. Like a wannabe Aeron but still decent enough.

Third best: Embody. I got this for the ass support but it hurts after a while. I still bought 2 for the office, good for if you're not sitting on your ass for hours and hours.

I got a steelcase gesture (get the headrest unless you are a manlet) and love it. Another thing to consider is desk height, an electric standing desk has helped my back considerably because I can have my legs at the correct angle while sitting.

Hmm I see other people citing this chair as the best, too.

I tried the Aeron but didn't like the plastic rim around the side, it dug into the sides of my thighs and I'm a bag of bones at 65kg lol.

Shame the new "gaming" Embody (recoloured, with some additional foam) is only in that shitty blue, though. I've been badgering them to try and get them to bring out more colours for it. So far they're sticking to the "We've researched what gamers want" marketing spiel.

This is what I proposed, over that shitty blue. If enough people ask for more colours on it, they'll make it if they smell money.

I got an Aeron Remaster and I don't like it too much. Not sure if it's just me, but the pressure it puts against my spine, no matter how I configure it, just gives me back pain. I've had to put on a thin pillow at the back to make it usable. The lack of a headrest is also annoying, and the aftermarket one I got (Atlas) sucks if you use headphones or move your neck around due to multiple monitors. I think some other brand or the Embody is the way to go.

The new "gaming" embody in that pic has an extra layer of foam apparently. So should be more comfy. Unless you've tried both?

This is what I'm going for, but they only have one fucking colour (a really horrible "electric" blue colour).

>>29604809
Same. I'm wondering if they've made only the one colour so far as it was basically a Logitech "Let us slap our brand name on your chair" contract, so they kept it that way so everyone who saw it would know "That's the Logitech chair". Blergh. Really wanting one as my current shitty chair is falling to bits, but fuck that blue.

As mentioned I've been badgering their customer support about it, I'm hoping if enough people complain they'll see the money and bring out some alternate colours. Can't be too hard, surely? They do it for the normal Embodys.

Review. Looks very squidgy and comfy. Several people have said that the foam cutting out before the edge of the chair cuts into their legs though, but some guy just shoved some of his own foam in there and it was fine. Surprised they haven't fixed that yet, it's pretty much the only complaint in the reviews on their website.
