I currently looking for a decent budget high back swivel chair: (I'm okay with cloth; $100-200CAN) I haven't gone to any stores yet. Perhaps you guys can steer me in the right direction. (I'm 5'10" and weigh 160 pounds)

- swivel & high back
- good lumbar/lower back support (not just a flat backrest)
- thicker seat cushion (these often get worn down so you can feel the wood below)
- low to the ground (the arms can fit under my desk and I don't have to hunch over to use my PC)
- adjustable arms (to fit under desk)
- perhaps adjustable backrest (move forward and back)

After I sit for a while, I get a neck ache and my lower back/butt sometimes hurts. (I know, I need to get out more) I've tried those generic high back leather swivel chairs but they have no lumbar support, thin seat cushions, and limited adjustability. Suggestions and links appreciated.

Staples or Office Depot would probably have the best selection for office chairs, but their prices are usually pretty high for what you get. If you have a Costco membership, I'd definitely give them a try too. If you don't like it, you can always return it :cheesygri

Go to Staples, IKEA, etc. and try all the chairs until you find one that is comfortable.
