Go to a brick and mortar store like Staples and try them out yourself.

The chair that suits one person will be agony another.

You have to find out for yourself.

Second this. Don't get a gaming one, go to an office store. They build them expecting people to need to sit in them for hours.

Don't cheap out either. Remember the most important things to never cheap out on are things that go between you and the ground. Chairs, mattresses, shoes.

Personally I found a great mesh one that doesn't get hot in the summer and is still very supportive after 5 years

I second the mesh chair. I got this one at Staples for $100 a couple weeks ago and my ass is thanking me. I was using a fancy gaming chair before that felt like sitting on concrete.

Just to add. If you find one you like, don't avoid it because it's low cost. Brought the cheapest model at Staples and it's still going great. Cost is often an indicator of quality, but not always.

I second this. Anyone who says "You get what you pay for" is either trying to sell you something OR they themself are a sucker. Sure, sometimes** you get what you pay for but plenty of other times you're getting straight up ripped off because the seller realizes you'll mistake price with quality. Don't be anyones sucker.
