Ever since my father sat on my computer chair too harshly the air pump gave way and it’s a little to uncomfortable to sit on now to say the least.

I was wondering if there is an alternative to computer chairs? Without the swivel and the air pump. Just a decent ordinary chair with good height and back support.
I’ve already tried our dining chairs and I can’t afford to keep buying computer chairs.

I’m going to be starting independent studies soon which means I will be spending a lot of my time at my desk on my computer or doing homework, this is all well and good except my computer chair is incredibly uncomfortable to sit in for long periods of time. It has even caused me to have back pain over time. Can you help me find a comfortable chair that will support being in for long hours? My price range is about 0-0, maybe a little more if you think it’s worth it. Thanks

Sorry that I’m putting this in health, but maybe some of you have issues with your back as well and have a preference of chairs you like

If anyone knows whats wrong please give any answer you have and your support.

i am 16 years old and im experiencing some back problems. I play soccer and im not fat or anything. Im pretty fit for my age.
im on the computer quite a bit, and some people think im having back problems because im constiantly on the computer chair. Just wanted to know if anyone could help me…

Anyone know why my back could be hurting? IS it wrong being on the computer chair for soo long?
Thanks a lot to both of you… its not really lower back pain, more upper/ midsection of my back.

So. The iPad. Yeah, it’s overpriced. Yeah, it requires a monthly data plan. But OH MAN, is it cool, or what. For example – I am breaking my back in a crappy computer chair at a second-hand desk that is only slightly less uncomfortable when I put one foot up on the corner of the desk, and one foot up on the cat tree (which, let me tell you, the cat does NOT appreciate). And I thought – Gosh. I could be sitting on my squashy couch, even LAYING DOWN, and doing the same thing that I was planning on doing anyway, all with a device that weighs less than a pound.

BUT it’s all money, honey. How much is the ‘child support’ on this thing? What will Verizon rape me for? Realistically, I can burn up a lot of internet time, so no crappy low access plans, either. I want to have absolutely no restraint regarding it’s use.
The data plan. Silly girls :p

I have never really sat properly in a chair i have been fairly inactive in my life i was obese so i sat in front of a computer for hours upon hours and i sat bad slouched and with no support for the back so i lost all of my weight and now im trying to sit upright in a proper computer chair but i physically cannot sit up its so painfull my entire back starts burning and feels like its on fire and it feel slike im injuring myself sitting up. Its been like this for months and i cannot sit upright in ANY chair. Any tips or ideas?

What’s a good computer chair that’s less than 0 which has good back support and will last a while without having the cushion flatten or adjusters break?

My poor body pillow. It needs to be retired. I use it to pad the seat and back of my computer chair at home, I use it to support my back when I sleep at night. I use it when my hips hurt, between my knees. The thing is so battered and bruised and beat up. It’s sad, But i LOVE it! Anyone else? It’s turning into an addiction much like Linus and his blanky……. LOL

I had a spinal fusion (T2-L3) in September of ’09. I’m in the market for a new computer chair and was wondering if anyone here could recommend a good one. The one I currently have has contours for the lumbar and neck and that doesn’t work anymore and causes more pain than anything. Should I go with something that has a perfectly straight back?

Thanks!
Dang it, went to the wrong section.
No, my spine is definitely not based on what would be "perfect". (Done at Cleveland Clinic) It’s pretty much completely straight with only the ability to bend at the hips.

I have been thinking lately about buying myself a nice quality computer chair for my desk at work. The chairs they supply us with have no arms and lousy back support, thus making my very uncomfortable. The problem is, the place I work is actually a ton of cubicles lined up. I have seen other people who have bought a nice chair for themselves, but when they have the day off or are out sick, someone takes their chair and uses it. To me this is really rude because these people don’t ask, they just walk right up to the absent person’s desk and roll their chair over to their cubicle. Often times the person comes back to a broken, stained, torn, smelly, or otherwise destroyed chair. If I am going to spend 0-0 on a chair, I do not want anyone to ruin it. What are some suggestions for making sure that people don’t use my chair without seeming like a selfish jerk?
