How do you guys support your ass during those long sessions in front of your computer?
My current chair is old and worn and has become the most uncomfortable thing to sit on, so I was looking at the IKEA Markus: is there anything else to consider in the same price range?
i have markus. its 'ok'. i cant believe mines already 6 years old

markus is good, but I recommend covering it with fabric, like a bedsheet or something, as the fake-leather will wear down pretty fast otherwise.

You have 4 years left on the warranty, so it's not much of a surprise.
The completely black Markus actually has real bovine leather, the other ones either have synthetic leather or special fabric. You have to spray the leather once a year or once in 6 months with a special concoction though.

Living the dream I guess "ok" is good enough, but I'm still interested in knowing if I can get something as good for less money, or something much better for slightly more money. Point is: proper ergonomic chairs cost just too much, even when half price used on ebay, and sure they are great investments for your health, but if you can't afford them you gotta settle for less. >fake leather I would get the fabric one, since it's cheaper and should make me sweat less.

I'm just saving up for a second hand Aeron, may as well get it right the first time, currently using an IKEA dining chair so my back is fucked

>if I can get something as good for less money
only if its used goods
there's a reason why IKEA dominates the cheap furniture business.
