CAGiversary!
I'm sorry if this is the wrong section to post something like this in but i wasn't really sure where it should go.  I'm in the market for a new computer desk chair.  The one i currently have is well, I found it on the side of the road 2 years ago and it wasn't great then and it isn't much better now.  only difference is its starting to fall apart.

anyway, back on point, Anyone have any suggestions or recommendations on desk chairs?  any prefered brands or does it really not matter?  my price range is up to about $80 though i'm willing to go higher if its worth the price.  i've been skimming through ebay and i've found chair deals like these but im not sure if they would be comfortable or how sturdy/how long they would last.

I've been looking for a chair that is high enough for a headrest, I see too many spotty reviews for mid priced ones that I'll probably go fancy (Clutch Chairz, and I'll admit mainly due to Kenny Omega being sponsored). My gf has one from Staples that's pretty nice, comes up to shoulder blades though so not good enough for at my desk. It's mesh and has the lumbar thingy behind it, was around $100. Coupons are relatively frequent for them I think.
 
I second DXR. If you spend a significant amount of time in your desk chair, spend the extra money on something nicer than what you can get at Staples/Walmart. I did have an issue with a couple of the armrests coming loose on my DXR, but they replaced them for me at no cost to me.

 
As a certified fundamental movement specialist, I'd recommend buying a yoga ball (balance / bosu / whatever)

Its pretty comfy, and forces you to utilize some core musculature that you wouldn't normally.  Even if you use it for 20-30 minutes a day then move back to the normal computer chair it will definitely help your posture.
