As somebody who works on a computer all day I learned the importance of ergonomics early in my career. I also learned the hard way that cheaping out on office chairs that cost a few hundred bucks a great way to screw up your back, and you've only got one spine. I spent a long time looking for a decent office chair that's comfortable for long periods of programming and since I'd found a great zero-g recliner at Relax the Back I tried a few of their office chairs, purchasing and reluctantly returning two $1k+ chairs because I just couldn't get comfortable in either.

I stayed with a comfortable-enough Steelcase chair I had until it broke three years ago, and that's when I found the Better Back Store. They spent a lot of time showing me different chair options, going over the pros and cons of the most well-known brands versus the ones they recommended, and I decided to try a nice Lifeform office chair. I'm sitting in it now, and I couldn't recommend it higher. I actually purchased an identical one last year, same options with the headrest, memory foam, high back, adjustable lumbar, etc., and I can keep one at the office and one for working from home.

I recently pulled a tendon and read that Lifeform sells a pivoting arm for the chair that adds extra support. I took my existing chair arm into the store and they were able to upgrade it with the swivel part and charged me a fraction of what it listed for on the website! I also liked that so much that I purchased a second one, and might actually upgrade the other sides because the swivel is so comfortable.

I highly recommend this place, both for the quality of their chair and the amount of expertise they have in ergonomics, posture, and familiarity with their products.
