Im looking for a good OFFICE chair for someone with chronic back pain. what I need is an affordable, sturdy chair (heavy person). After about four hours at work, even getting up, the chairs ive had to this point just dont fit right and i think they may be contributing to my back problems. Im 6'4 and most of the chairs ive used are also seemingly too short for me. Some chairs are very insistent on their lumbar support which really hurts me badly. it should be wide (for, so am i) and preferably high-backed, in the sub-1000 category, and rated for fat people. Anyone know the perfect chair here?
you want the back somewhere between 110 and 120 degrees. A full back chair (Manager Chair/Executive Chair) will help. The biggest thing you could do is fit the chair to you, dont try and fit yourself to the chair. That is how you end up with pain in your neck, back, shoulders, hips, etc.
