I don't know where to post this... where can I find a COMFORTABLE computer chair?

    I'm 6'4. I want a chair that has actual back and neck support.

    It is hard enough to find chairs that are tall enough to actually support my neck, let alone are comfortable. A lot of those "executive" chairs are stiff as hell, who could actually like sitting in those?

    I tried Office Max and Depot, neither had anything good.

    Price is only somewhat an issue. I don't want to go broke over it, but I consider it a longterm investment so I don't mind laying down some cash.

    Any suggestions?

    Tim has the Aereon and I have the Mirra. Both of us like them, but we are not 6'4 either They aren’t cheap - but we sit in them about 12 hours per day - so they are basically our office. he has had his for at least 4 years and mine I've had for 3.

    I am highly considering the freedom chair, which may be more to a 6'4 liking.

    You're talking ergonomics, which is what you should ensure your chair should provide for comfort and long term sitting. So consider the ergonomic aspect of whatever chair you end up buying...check out websites by searching on "ergonomic chair" for your area...just my suggestion.:)

    Are those chairs really that comfortable? They always seem like they wouldn't provide as much actual support as a chair with padding.

    Those Aeron chairs are the best thing to happen to your butt ever.

    They are awesome, the mesh gives a bit and it breaths very well, so if you have to sit for a long time you don't sweat down your back and butt.

    I've struggled looking for chairs over the years, I recently ordered one of these: http://www.nadachair.com/backup.html

    Purchased it on recommendation from relatives. I'll be happy to give feedback after I give it some use. Hope it helps relieve some back stress.
